Owner and Founder of Signing Autistic Lives.Signing Autistic Lives provides American Sign Language (ASL) instruction to facilitate communication and improve quality of life for autistic children and their families in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Sign language can be an empowering tool for creating genuine communication and providing a transition to spoken language for many autistic individuals. Signing can significantly reduce frustration and improve daily life for everyone in the child’s circle. Our program is tailored to your family’s needs and routines. If getting ready for school generally prompts a tantrum, for example, we’ll work to make that activity smoother and enable your child to communicate what he’s thinking and feeling.

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 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.

Hi there! I took ASL four years ago and fell in love. I have since taken ASL 1-4 and now am in my last semester of ASL Interpreting. I plan to continue my education and get a BS in interpreting starting Summer 2015. I have taken Deaf Culture, Linguistics, Educational Interpreting, Special Setting Interpreting, and Businesses Ethics in Interpreting. I have all of my textbooks from over the years we can use to come up with a plan for studying. I always learned best by repetition. To memorize signs, it is best to use them in a sentence, so we will create short phrases to learn new vocabulary words.

I started tutoring in high school and all through college. When I tutored high school and middle school (usually math and science) I had a lot of experience with the subject matter. It made it easier to catch the mistakes. During that time I also taught well over a 1000 (no exaggeration) children to swim. Easy subject matter, but lots of different personalities overcoming a sometimes very difficult skill. Now I help the children I live with. One a very bright, yet lazy, 15 year old. A 13 year old with some learning challenges and a gifted 10 year old. With each I learn what mistakes they are prone to making. Patience and persistence trying to make them think through the question. When I first meet with a student I let them tell me what they know. In their own words about the unit or subject they are currently having trouble with. If I know how the instructor teaches the lesson I t

Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training. I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves.

I believe that every student has his/her own learning pace. Each student is capable of understanding a subject if provided with the right basic tools. I give students a chance to first explain their understanding of a problem. I also have them work problems out and from their answers, I am able to correct their mistakes and find ways that will enable them to correctly and quickly answer questions. My goal is to provide them with tools that will make mathematics fun, easy to understand, and to answer questions using basic math knowledge. I am patient and understanding of my students needs and I will make a world of difference in your child's education. Education and work experience: I have two BBA Degrees in International Business, Transportation and Logistics from the University of North Florida. During my college years, I worked as a Mathematics and English as a second language

I have both the educational credentials as well as the work experience to be an effective tutor. As a professional, I have experience working in both the education and social work fields. This has given me a unique perspective on working with at-risk students. I have not only tutored and mentored elementary and middle school students, I have worked with them on goal-setting and behavior modification, provided counseling and family advocacy, and coordinated community services. My one and only passion has always been children. I strongly believe that every child should be respected and given an equal opportunity for success. In my experience, most children learn best through hands-on learning opportunities. Paper-and-pencil work has its place, however, I find it's important to provide other methods of teaching that cater to different types of learners such as kinesthetic and auditor

I taught for 2 years at the Jericho School for Children with Autism. I worked for 2 years for a private Behavior Management Consultants(they are located in Tallahassee) doing 1:1 home programs for children with Autism. I have worked for Duval County School Board for the past 7 years working with Pre-K through 5th grade working with ESE and also regular ed. kids. I mentored last year while teaching with Ph D. students through a grant from the University of Florida called the Learning Literacy Cohort. We worked with our classroom students on different types of literacy interventions and to help them determine which ones work best. I believe that any child can learn. Some children learn things more quickly than others and usually they need material repeated numerous times before they can grasp the concept. I believe that if the chid is not learning it is up to the teacher to re-evaluate w

I have an AA degree in Elementary Education and specialize in ESE students and reading. I have created my own lesson plans as well as taught in front of elementary and middle school students in micro-teach lessons and while substituting for teachers. I have tutored elementary, middle and high school students during high school and through college, including students with disabilities. I have also tutored college students while in college. Some subjects I tutored were math, english, reading, writing, spelling, social science, history, and literature. I have a lot of patience, I am a good listener and I do not judge any one on their abilities. I hope to help as many students as possible from now and throughout my career. I look forward to working with you! Each of my students has a differing level of strength in listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is my responsibility to go beyond

I love to teach and more so I love it when a student face lights up to let you know that they now understand a concept that did not understand before.I believe every student can learn and it is my passion to discover their learning styles and then pursue them. Since I began teaching I have had the pleasure of teaching Health and Reading. My time I spent teaching has afford me the opportunity to teach my student at a deeper level so that their lives will be more enrich.

I like to teach using everyday life experiences and things that are relative to the tutee. One can read MacBeth and other writers from the past and still be motivated to learn. I don't believe in memorization because that is not learning. I want the child to carry his newly learned knowledge well into his future and always have it available in the back of his mind. It should not be forgotten but built upon. It's like building a brick wall, one brick at a time. It does take time but when that final brick is put in place, what a masterpiece! As a graduate of Jacksonville University, I feel I received an excellent education and want to give back to the community. There is not enough emphasis placed on education as it was during my growing up years. I fear that the focus has turned and it is centered on sports not academics. I feel there can be a happy medium reach in which students
