I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need.
I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of nee ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal is to not only show my students the ways to arrive at an answer, but encourage them to extend boundaries in reaching their highest potential. I help them realize their talents and traits which make them unique and special. These valuable lessons support their beliefs that they can achieve any goal both inside and outside of the classroom. I believe that all children are unique and special. As a teacher I want to help them find out what makes them the unique individual that they are.
As a New York City Board of Education Special Education Teacher I had the privilege to teach emotionally disturbed junior high school students. Outside of the professional world I tutored teenagers who are struggling in the areas of reading comprehension, literature, and social studies. I received my BA in Liberal Studies and Communication from Syracuse University. I graduated Cum Laude a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm currently attending American Military University, with less than a year to graduate with a bachelor degree in Public Health, which allows me to have a better understanding in health science related subjects. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers. In addition I have experience in teaching, coaching and mentoring soldiers in the United States Army as a squad leader.
Each child learns in different ways, and as a Tudor/teacher it is my responsibility to discover the method of teaching that matches a child’s way of learning. I am patient, understanding and provide a constructive approach to learning. All children have the potential of learning; some simply require a different method and approach to grasp the information and it is my duty to provide such approach.

During my four years of undergraduate studies, I have spent three years tutoring in the subject area of English. While maintaining a full course load and working full time, I have managed to tutor over 107 students during this period. The majority of the material covered included essay writing at a college level, (scholarship essays, admissions essays, formation of a thesis paper, etc.). After graduating with a BA in English, I went on to pursue a career in teaching. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to teach at both a middle school and a high school level. This has given me the experience necessary to tutor a younger age group, and has helped me learn new ways to assist students in understanding the material. Currently as a 10th grade teacher, I volunteer both my lunch and planning period to tutor students for the FCAT, assist them with essay writing, grammar and usage, as ... read more

I enjoy teaching and realize that students come from a variety of backgrounds, therefore I teach to all audiences. Each of us has various modes of receiving information most effectively, so my teaching style encompasses auditory, visual, and kinesthetic areas. Education is empowerment so I love to make students become excited about their own journey, and therefore motivated to learn.

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service.
I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success.

I implement strategies in my teaching that build upon prior learning and address cultural perspectives, whether they are in content areas, or relevant life experiences. According to Ladson-Billings (1994) this is a component of "culturally relevant teaching." In a multicultural context, incorporating students' knowledge is likely to entail addressing certain relationships within and outside the classroom. The teacher must transcend one's own ignorance and biases about forms of knowledge that are not accorded high status in the dominant culture. In addition, dealing openly with student questions about race and other topics, which some teachers are uncomfortable talking about.

Most of my adult life has been spent in the arena of teaching and mentoring. My undergraduate degree, a B.S. in Biology, was largely a platform for the many other courses taken in order to teach mathematics and sciences more effectively. Even after I had moved professionally from teaching to military chaplaincy, much of my focus has been on mentoring others. My range of personal experience is wide, having taught or tutored the range from basic mathematics to differential equations, earth science to physics, with Latin and Greek tossed in for good measure.
I have a teaching style which refer to as "narrative." All memorable education takes place in the context of its history and personal usefulness. Therefore, I show the student how a topic has affected people in the past and pull it into personal relevance. Discussion is crucial, not only for allowing the student to ask questions, ... read more
