Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects!

I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education. I am certified in the state of Florida and have the additional endorsements of Reading and ESOL. I am also presently working on adding an ESE component to my certification. I have been tutoring with multiple clients for several years and have stellar recommendations.I use different strategies based on the learning needs and learning style of my students. I incorporate games, different learning tools, and creative learning strategies to engage the student and keep them focused. Learning should be interesting and adaptable to each student.
I LOVE TEACHING!! I LOVE the experience that comes from working one on one with students, seeing them grow in ability and confidence keeps me in this field. There is simply nothing like it!

If it can be fun, make it fun. If not, make it short.

My motto is if at all possible, I want to make learning fun. When that's impossible, let's get it over with quickly, so we can get back to the fun part. I'm a lifelong learner, so I practice what I preach.
Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent thro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a child my dream was to educate and inspire others to achieve their dreams. That dream is now a reality. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and hold a teaching certification, inclusively. My passion has been to incorporate my creative style in a structured setting by using Howard Gardener’s Multiple Intelligence methodology, as well as, sensory objectives as the key to reach a diverse body of learners. During and after my internship, I explored mentoring, tutoring and substitute teaching.
From a very early age, I have always been connected with teaching children. I knew that this was what I wanted to do, influence a child’s life, and there couldn’t be a better way to do it. I believe all students are able to learn given the tools and knowledge. I teach them to become inquisitive and curious about their learning while using a Constructivist methodology includi ... read more

My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : I was horrible in phonics when I was young. Wish is why I am very passionate about helping children learn to read. There is a learning sequence to be followed, with a strong emphasis on letter sounds to help children be successful. Sorting and phonics games are used often with my students as well. I have lots of experience in this area (K-2).

I currently have a Florida Teaching Certificate, 17 yrs. teaching in PreK - 2nd grade, and 4 yrs. tutoring. I have always loved being around young children. It was no surprise that I ended up pursuing an Early Childhood Education Bachelor's and Master's Degree. Since I moved to Florida, I have spent time volunteering in Kindergarten classrooms, substituting in K-5 classrooms, and I was even offered an extended subbing position in a Kindergarten classroom. My tutor experience began with a private company for 2 yrs. and now I find my own jobs through Care.com for the last 2 yrs. Even though I miss working with children in the classroom, I have really enjoyed the one to one tutoring sessions so much more. I don't feel the pressure to keep going, when I know the child doesn't understand it or hasn't mastered the skill. This year I was able to help a student in the lowest reading group ... read more

My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : I have always believed phonics is the key to reading and have taught it for many years. In the past 15 years I taught ABEKA phonics in my classes and have seen students learn to read quickly.

I have enjoyed very much working with children and I know that every student has his own learning style and my teaching must be adapted to them. I am patient, even with children who do not speak fluent English and I seek to encourage them to seek success. I believe a phonics approach to reading can help children learn to read quickly and confidently. I also believe a hands on approach to math can be very valuable to a child's learning. I seek to see each child achieve his potential and grow in self esteem.
As I graduated from college with my California State Teaching Credential,I was able to teach 2nd grade for the Los Angeles City School District for three years. During that time I sought to gain as much experience and expertise as possible to prepare me for teaching in a school for missionary children overseas. I studied Spanish intensively for a year in Mexico preparing me ... read more

Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects! I have taught phonics for 8 years. I have taught4 and 5 year olds how to read for 8 years. I have homeschooled my son for 5 years and I have taught grades pre-k-4th grade.

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.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : Certified K-6

As an education professional with more than twelve years of experience working with children, I am eager to return to the workforce. With my unique and extensive experience in providing solid education, implementing and planning lessons, and leading an assortment of other academic-based projects, I feel excited and more than prepared for the challenges and opportunities that come with this role.
I try to serve as a facilitator of learning, providing students with the knowledge and tools to solve problems and then encouraging students to solve them on their own. When students answer a problem incorrectly, I do not allow them to quit. I try to encourage them to figure out where they went wrong and to keep working at the problem until they get the correct answer, providing support and guidance where needed
