Super tutor!

I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the student becomes engaged in the learning process.
I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Vo ... read more

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a bilingual teacher/ therapist who has had wonderful successes in the teaching field. I have taught adolescents, and adults english, G.E.D., career planning, basic math, and social sciences. My teaching approach makes it fun and motivating for students from any socio-economic class to enjoy. During my last five years, I have taught international as well as USA students. I am best known for being punctual, prepared and peppy.
My teaching style is positive, resourceful, and uses multi-media whenever necessary. I encourgae my students to seek their own answers and guide them on how to reach their learning goals. I combine learning with an increase in self discovery and self - esteem that stays with them beyond our present lessons. I believe learning should be presented as an ongoing, positive process that one never stops marveling at. My students know I believe in their succes ... read more

My BS in Secondary Education from Florida State University has equipped me with the knowledge and experience in educational psychology and teaching strategies through both course- and fieldwork in Leon County, where I assisted students in their reading, ESOL, and writing for grammar and composition. Because of my degree, I was also afforded the opportunity to student teach middle school Language Arts for one semester, where I learned to plan and apply instruction, and adapt it to the needs of varying students and levels of ability in grammar, reading comprehension, and essay writing. Over the last year, I have tutored college students in English, reading, writing, and the arts (including English as a second language).
I love helping students and believe every child has the ability to learn. I am passionate about encouraging them and inspiring them on the journey; sometimes, it m ... read more

I strongly believe that each child has the ability to learn if given the proper instruction based on his/her individual academic need. Instructors should be versatile in their teaching strategies in order to insure each child is successful based on individual ability. My job as an educator is to "reach and teach" and is strongly driven by my philosophy that it indeed "takes a village to raise a child".
As a high level accomplished Master Teacher, my main focus is student achievement and success. Currently, I am a 2nd Grade General Education Elementary Instructor. I have taught general education for 5 years and inclusion for 5 as well. My vast background experience equips me with the proper tools needed to assist individuals in reaching their maximum academic potential.

I was employed by the Interior Design department at FSU to teach undergraduate courses, being an instructor of record for the inital course for the department, Design Fundamentals. I have a passion for teaching and learning- it runs in the family as my husband is a middle school science and math teacher. Our parents are lifelong edcuators in Wakulla County. Now that I have earned my Master's degree I would like to continue that family tradition.
I believe that while students may forget specifics of what they are learning, they will never forget how teachers make them feel. I also belive that the best teachers are the ones that make themselves less needed the longer they teach specific studdents. I want to empower the students I teach to be able to learn and excell on their own in the future. I hope to make a difference by empowering the students I teach to learn to edcuate themselv ... read more

Learning needs to have importance to a student. They need to understand why they need to learn the things they are being taught. Then it makes more sense to them. If possible, teach to their strengths. If they like computers, find a website that gives them practice. If they are better writers than listeners, have them dictate and read it back to you. Flashcards work well for some while others have difficulty remembering things. It all depends on the strengths of that child as to what is the best way to teach.
I have taught kindergarten through eighth grade special education for the last twenty years. I have had experience working with students who were struggling learners including my own child. Sometimes teaching means showing a different way to do it. I have learned the skills needed for students to learn and remember what they have learned. I have tutored many students ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient, soft spoken person who understands what it is like to struggle. I also had difficulty learning in school and wish someone would have taken the time to notice I wasn't being 'lazy' but really had a hard time comprehending and remembering what I read. Study habits need to be taught. Learning can be an adventure when you are feeling successful but when you are meeting failure, it is difficult. I try to teach the subject area while teaching strategies for lifetime learning.
As a special needs teacher, I have worked with many students who simply needed someone to show them a different way to learn the material. Learning can be made so much easier when taught in a format that is fun. This makes it enjoyable and more likely to be remembered. In a tutoring one-on-one kind of setting, times tables could be taught with a deck of cards and using the two numbers thr ... read more

I love to bring history to live for students so I like to explain events in a story format. It is important for students to memorize facts, however, so I focus on memorization techniques and organization. Reading requires comprehension so I use a combination of techniques including reading out loud and repetitive reading. I am patient and creative, so I can usually find what works for that individual student.
I began teaching at Shepard Academy. I taught Social Studies to middle and high school students. Shepard was a small private school specializing in meeting the needs of students who had a variety of learning challenges. Many were diagnosed with ADHD or ADD. After a three year leave during which I stayed home with my children, I began teaching at Tallavana Christian School. Again I taught middle and high school students, but I covered 6th grade math and reading in addition to h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since 1991, I have been tutoring and teaching children in Florida, California and Costa Rica. In addition to being a tutor, I have worked with children in many capacities from after-school program coordinator to curriculum writer and summer camp counselor and instructor. I earned my BA degree from Florida A&M University in Visual Arts and History and my Master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in Dance Ethnography. Instructing my own ten year old daughter has also further enhanced my ability to work one-on-one with individual students. During the last 19 years, I have instructed and tutored students in reading, writing, math, English, Spanish, visual arts, dance, science, history and music appreciation.
I deeply enjoy teaching children from all different age groups, cultural, social and economic backgrounds. I believe that patience and working with each child ... read more

I enjoy working with children of all ages and am available for all subjects. My focus is teaching through discovery; whether by observation, research, or builiding upon previous knowledge. I believe all children need nurturing in academics and the biggest hurdle many face is self-confidence (or the lack of).
After teaching preschool age children for 5 years, I returned to school to pursue a BS in secondary Education with a concentration in political science. I graduated in 2007 after 3 years at Georgia Southern University. In 2008, my family and I moved to Wakulla County, FL. Here I began teaching 3rd and 4th grade at Wakulla Christian School. This year I moved into the 5th grade teacher position at WCS.

I enjoy teaching children through a thematic approach and providing engaging activities for them. I believe that children learn best by doing and absorb the most when they are engaged in active learning. I truly enjoy working with children and will do my best to adapt my lessons to fit their learning styles. It is possible for all children to learn, it's simply up to the teacher to find what works best for the student.

When I was in high school I excelled in math, particularly in Geometry. I assisted my father in tutoring a great deal of his clients. Once I graduated high school I pursued tutoring in Tallahassee where I attend college. I started off as an afterschool counselor for Belle Vue Middle School but my job soon turned into a teacher's assistant position because of my natural teaching abilities. Everyday after school I would be assigned to 20-30 students to assist with homework and other school assignments.
My teaching style is very unique. I enjoy teaching math because I like to find different and more exciting approaches to teaching mathematical equations. I will alter my voice, bring props, make jokes or anything that makes learning math easier to understand and enjoyable. I am patient with students because I enjoy seeing them learning new things.

As a gifted student in my primary education, I always excelled in consuming the world around me through knowledge. I wanted to share my love of information with others. My favorite subject is Black and African History. I decided to major in those fields at Florida State University. During my studies Ive gained experience in tutoring SES Students at Cheney Elementary School, then I decided to become a camp counselor in the summer of 08 at Camp Kateri. I love bringing out my inner child to reach students.
I love using fun interactive games to help facilitate learning. Singing songs that get children to count and spell. Memorization games, like telephone or memory tag. Its my experience that the more engaged you keep students, the more they will retain information. In my 4 years experience as a camp counselor and tutor I have found that keeping an open mind and always spotting opportu ... read more
