All children are unique, and all need a secure, caring and stimulating environment in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. My function and desire,as a teacher, is to aid students in meeting their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that are conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) the teacher as a guide,(2)allowing the child’s natural curiosity to direct his/her learning and(3)promoting respect for all things and all people. My personality, love for teaching and love for students lends itself to these accomplishments. I earned a BS degree in history, which I taught in high school. I had minors in Biology and English and tutored students in these areas. My second degree, MS in School Administration, led me to be principal

For three years at Florida State University I was enrolled in an excellent teacher education program. At the end of the program I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Social Science Education. While at Florida State University I received three certifications, Social Science Education (6-12), Professional Educator for (All Grades) and Integrated Curriculum (5-9). Obtaining the Integrated Curriculum certification made it so I can be certified to mentor and tutor students in all major subjects. Since then I have worked with multiple young students on both strengthening their education and building character. I feel that I develop not only better students, but better young men and women. Each student learns in their own way and sometimes that way is not in a classroom setting. A teacher to me is someone who has developed a way to make each student understand the subject matter. This is

I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize. I believe in working with each student to develop a system that works best for the individual, which will give them the tool to learn more easily in the future. While obtaining my Master's degree I had the chance to study many different subjects as well as tutor student from Kindergarten to undergraduates in many areas of study. I received 2 Bachelors degrees in International Affairs and Art History and studied several different languages that will make me well rounded tutor. I have excellent writing and editing skills as well as experience tutoring all ages in a variety of subjects. I have a l

I teach in the hope that students will discover the wonders of knowledge for themselves and take that experience with them wherever they go. I use analogy and humor to give insight and make facts interesting. I relate to people by understanding what matters to them. I build interpersonal rapport as a counselor would, but discipline people's minds and behaviors when necessary. I encourage people to follow their joys and work to improve their lives passionately. I’m a 2007 Masters graduate in Communication, concentrating in OD and interpersonal communication. As a paralegal I trained business people about legal topics and legal people about how to do their job. As an instructor for Princeton Review I worked with a world class test prep course.

I believe that all children are special and have unique learning needs. There is nothing better than watching a child have an "ah-ha!" moment. Sometimes a child (or an adult!) needs a little help to make that connection though. I enjoy the challenge of finding what works for each child. I am a creative individual and take the time to research and experiment with different teaching methods. I believe in positive reinforcement and in putting the student in a position to succeed. In my experience, teaching has been a privilege and a joy! As a newlywed and young mother, I decided to pursue an education degree at the University of Florida. I maintained a 3.85 grade point average. While at the University, I discovered a passion for helping children reach their educational goals. I have spent the last seven years instructing my children.

My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having studied psychology, I understand that children are very sensitive to negative feedback. I have experience in how to give constructive criticism to children and how this can only encourage them to do better. Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and psychol

Patience. I believe patience is very important to helping your child succeed in their studies. I enjoy teaching and working with children of all backgrounds. I believe that every child is different from the one before and the material needs to be tailored to the student in order for them to process the information and succeed. I also believe that any child can reach success if you are patient, knowledgeable and can give them the learning tools to succeed. I have earned a BS degree from the Florida State University (College of Social Sciences) in Political Science, with a minor in Psychology. I was also a participant in the Global Pathways Program, enabling me to experience and appreciate a variety of multi-cultural events and backgrounds.
