I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.
I have taught kindergarten for several years. I have taught beginning readers in kindergarten, as well as reading comprehension to older students.I have homeschoole ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 10+ years experience helping ESL students prepare for the TOEFL and IELTS. Beyond exam preparation I also instill unique lessons and rules of the English language to help students better grasp the skills it takes to function in the daily demand academically and socially of being a non native speaker.

I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.
I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.

My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : I grew up in Florida, so I am familiar with the content.

Although I have never tutored professionally, I have had extensive experience tutoring friends and family in need. I am experienced in tutoring young children as well as classroom peers at my level. I have two bachelor degrees from UCF, Bio-medical Science and Psychology, and I feel confident in my ability to help anyone learn. I'm looking to earn extra money while completing my Master's degree at UCF.

My teacher style is to first identify the specific area the student is struggling with. I help the students develop skills to better tackle the area. I believe in presenting the material in several different ways until the student understands it. I work hard to make learning a positive, fun and encouraging experience.
I am currently a School Psychologist for the school system. My job is to help identify students who have learning problems and develop interventions to target these problem areas. Since I have summers off, I usually work as a teacher/tutor. I absolutely love working with children on a one-to-one basis. I have experience working with students in Elementary School through College.

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Governor's State University in December 1992 with a GPA of 3.9 on a 4.0 scale. My teaching certificate includes K-9 with a concentration in Junior High Math. I have worked with children with special needs, substituted at all grade levels, and instructed students in math at the Junior High level. I became a math coach for grades 7-8 math teams, initiated a Peer Mediation Group, started a Consumer Math class, and supervised a student teacher. I am presently working with Pre-school age children at my church.
I enjoy helping students to get involved in their studies by using hands on manipulatives, games, and real life situations. I believe the role of the teacher is to be a facilitator for her students. She needs to support, promote, recruit, encourage, model, and explain. My goals are to create an environment co ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the related fields of accounting, computers, and engineering). My college education at Purdue University was interrupted due to financial reasons, but I returned to Lake-Sumter Community College at night while working full time and earned an AA degree. I know how important education is! I believe I am a natural teacher when it comes to mathematics and related fields - I helped my fellow students in high school during study halls, tutored through the National Honor Society, was my son’s private tutor, and assist my co-workers with their accounting and computer skills.
I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to v ... read more

As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.
I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.

I love working with children, they are my passion. I believe that every child has the ability to learn. The key to making this happen is by finding their style of learning, by doing this each child will live up to their learning potential. I believe that children learn best through exploring the world around them and seeing all that it has to offer. I also believe that relating learning to real life situations gives learning a purpose. My teaching style is patient, easy going, and I gear my style towards each individual child’s needs. I strive to make a positive difference in every child’s life that I come in contact with. Children are our future and I feel that it’s my duty to show them the way.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom.
As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT.

During the last fourteen years, I have made it my goal to read about two books per week. During this period, I have taught myself the computer, trained students in a variety of subjects, and home educated three children. It has been my privilege to work with a number of students, encouraging them in their learning and helping them to build up their basic skills. Tutoring continues to be one of my favorite tasks, and I hope to continue in this career field indefinitely.
Through attention to the basics while keeping the atmosphere light, I am able to help children find their way to academic success. By encouraging the children to talk about their favorite subjects, I am able to tailor each session to their individual tastes. This has allowed my students to attain a high level of productivity in the time allotted to our tutoring sessions. As a skilled writer, I find that even the leas ... read more

I was an elementary school teacher for 11 years. I taught second and third grades. I also worked part time teaching reading and FCAT skills to elementary students from third to fifth grades. During the time I was teaching I also tutored students in other classes in math and reading.
I believe all children are capable of learning, if you can find something that excites and interests them. I am patient with my students and believe that teachers are there to help each child to find his or her own learning style and potential. As a teacher, I am there to guide each student and find out what works for them as an individual, then go from there to build upon that knowledge. It is important to challenge each student to be the best he or she can be.

I earned my Bachelors of Arts degree while working full time. I also continued to pursue employment that enabled me to work on my own. I have tutored not only my child to become an A/B student but also worked with another student, voluntarily, who was struggling in school. In today's work environment whether you strive to go to college or become a tradesperson your ability to learn is paramount. Having a tutor or coach to assist the student can be a rewarding experience for the student as well as the teacher.
I love the learning process and the excitement of success. I believe that not all students learn the same way and am commited to finding the connection that will make the child that I tutor successful. I live for the "ah ha" moment when we both realize that the information has been learned and retained.
