My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : Based on personal experience, not special training

I allow my teaching style to mold itself to each individual student, finding methods of communicating the information that best suit the learning style of my student. I favor a holistic approach to learning, believing that education should be of the whole person. If a student learns how a skill in his tutoring session can be applied in real life, then his or her perception of the subject may fundamentally improve.
I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, with experience tutoring at Tennessee Temple University, as well as University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in various topics, including biodiversity, mathematics (up to pre-calculus), history, and American Sign Language. I continue to study in my personal time as many topics as possible, with the belief that a good tutor is firstly a good student.

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow.
As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Every child has personal strengths and weaknesses. Enabling children to believe in themselves is crucial to their success. I was told as a child I couldn't carry a tune, and to this day I am afraid to sing out loud in church. I understand how important a child's feelings are, and am very patient. I believe in interaction with the student, not just telling or showing them how to do a task. Providing an atmosphere in which a child is comfortable in asking questions and saying "I don't know" is essential.
I have a Masters Degree in School Psychology, and 24 years of experience in assessments/interventions of children with learning difficulties. I retired as a School Psychologist in June of 2010, and am already missing working with children. I have spent time in the classroom observing teachers and have knowledge of the curriculum. Between earning my bachelor and master's degrees, ... read more

I enjoy teaching and I have a varied background of knowledge and history. It is important for me to realize that different students have different learning styles and bring different levels of maturity, interest and motivation to the classroom. My students all have different cultural backgrounds and educational abilities. I have received high reviews from my students, students’ parents, and co-workers. I can say that my efforts are successful and their feedback over the years have provided me with an excellent tool to gauge the effectiveness of my classroom methods and to strive for better teaching standards and strategies. I strive to make a difference in a child's educational life as well as their life in the community.
Every instructor brings a variety of personal knowledge and experience to their profession. During my ten years as an instructor of Special Education, I hav ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Hands on! I taught (and LOVED) K through 3rd grade self-contained EMH students (ranging from autistic to learning disabled, all speech-language impaired). I was trained in and have used the Great Leaps Reading Program, and have an entire library of resources and supplemental material to help teach special learners (particularly in the area of reading development). I enjoy the elementary level, and LOVE the energy involved in teaching that population. I am very hands on and use a variety of teaching styles to reach all learners, and believe learning should be FUN!
After graduating college, I worked at a local children's shelter as the Director of Outreach and Prevention. Through this position I was allowed to work with at-risk children in the Marion County School System (through an interagency agreement). In an attempt to reduce truancy, our agency focused on literacy and tutored c ... read more

I have attended CFCC and FCCJ. I am currently attending Liberty University for my Bachelor in Education. I have been teaching for about 7 years and through that time I have learned an extensive amount not only through in-services and training classes, but through my colleagues. I feel very confident in my ability to reach children that feel that they just can't get it. I have two children of my own, which I homeschooled for a year. My daughter, who is 13 years old, has Dyslexia and short term memory processing issues. I have learned so much just by teaching and tutoring her. I have taught K-3 thru 8th grade. I have tutored k-5 thru 12th grade in Reading and phonics.
I feel very strongly about a differential approach to my teaching methods. I believe every child is different and learns differently then the next child. I feel confident in developing a lesson plan that can be diverse ... read more

Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from the University of Florida in May 2007. While I was earning my Bachelors’ degree I was a tutor for Upward Bound. I tutored high-school students in numerous areas including math, foreign language, reading, and test preparation. After graduation, I became a site coordinator for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. I tutored elementary aged students during my time with the Boys & Girls Clubs. Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed working with people; especially youth helping them become successful and build confidence in academics and other areas.
When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching one on one because I believe that is the most effective way to teach one person. By teaching one on one, you can focus on the student's personal weaknesses and strengths in the subject and mold your lessons to their benefit. My teaching style involves showing lots of examples and visuals along with practice problems or questions. Mistakes and visuals are usually what causes something to stick to your head. As a teacher, I am very patient, friendly, and inviting. I have often learned that intimidation is what causes students to refrain from asking questions so I try to keep the relationship as friendly and comfortable as possible.

As a student at the University of Florida, I am very driven to succeed in academia as well as help others. I have taken several credit hours of education classes. Additionally, I hold a paraprofessional certificate which allows me to be a teacher assistant. During the past couple of years, I have tutored all aged students in math and ACT preparation. I have strong writing and reading skills in English and adequate abilities in Spanish. I have also substituted at a private school which specializes in learning differences so I have a sufficient understanding of many different learning types.
I really enjoy working with youth and helping them learn. I have faith that all children can flourish given the proper chances. I believe in making learning enjoyable, which is why my teaching style is based on mutual respect. I am patient, laid back, and I employ a rewards-based learning system. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I devote myself to my work. During high school, I enrolled myself at the local college (Florida Atlantic University) and took advanced placement courses. I graduated second in my high school class with over a 5.0 weighted-GPA and 500 hours of community service. I also orchestrated a 7-student tutoring group through the Exceptional Student department and thus have experience tutoring students with learning disabilities. Having obtained over two years worth of college education while still in high school, I pushed myself beyond the typical collegiate degree. I obtained two bachelor's degrees (BA in History; BA in English) and a minor in French. As an English major, I have great grammatical and communicative skills. As a renaissance student, I have an extensive knowledge of many subjects: calculus, physics, geometry, biology, English, civics, history, and SAT testing. I have tutored ... read more
