I spent ten years as a substitute teacher for middle and high school. I volunteered to assist teachers. I did this because my son had difficulty learning. I worked with him until he graduated, he’s doing great and tested out of college math through geometry. I have an AA degree from FL Community College with additional classes in Education from UNF. I’ve taken further courses from Flathead Valley CC in Montana on learning disabilities & strategies to overcome them. I have gained a great deal of insight on helping kids learn & achieve success. I was the most requested substitute in Columbia Falls, MT because I was highly successful with kids. I am most effective in teaching basic math through algebra II.

I've been a full time substitute teacher in the Martin County School District since 2007. During 2008-2009, I was a permanent substitute at Stuart Middle School. During 2009-2010, I was given a five-month assignment as an ESE facilitator. In that capacity, I tutored students one on one, administered and modified their assessments, wrote progress reports and took part in conferences with their parents. I’m regularly given VE and gifted classroom assignments and have established a reputation as an effective educator. My teaching style is a combination of humor, question and answer, life experience, and history. I treat my students as adults. I follow the road, but go with the flow; no battle plan survives the first shot. There are many paths to learning. I never assume mine is the only way. Teaching is as much about learning as it is teaching. I listen to what my students have to say, and

My educational and work experience backgrounds have provided me with proficient skills in math, organization, multi-tasking, computers and various software programs. Since 1992, I have taught subordinates, peers, managers and directors how to manage their budgets, understand their financial reports, and how to use their computers more effectively. For the past four years I have taught medical assistant students in the subjects of using a computer in the office and business ethics. I continue to improve my teaching skills by taking on-line teaching courses. I have a natural gift for working with children. I am a good listener. I am very patient with those I teach. I try to find out what they need to learn and how they can best hear and understand the informantion. I meet them where they are and try to excel them from there to reach their goals. I also try to inspire them to want t

I have been active in all aspects of education over 20 years. I enjoy working with students and seeing them succeed in what they desire. I have worked with elementary through high school age students preparing them for their next transition. I have taught Language Arts/English skills to kids in elementary through high school. I have tutored kids in English and Learning Strategies. I have worked with ESOL and ESE students--and feel comfortable with them. Students learn differently, as a teacher it's my responsibility to learn how each student learns and teach accordingly. I have found students who are active in learning are more productive than those who aren't engaged. I like to involve students in the learning process. I am creative and capable of applying situational learning to ensure students comprehend the concepts being taught.

Teaching for me is a form of life. The students I taught were 16 to 20 years old, and adults. My aim has always been to help my students to become professional, independent and self-conscious persons supporting tolerance and democratic society. Furthermore I aim to teach students organizational skills and methods to learn. Methods of teaching vary according to the subjects and classes. I am cleared by Palm Beach County Schools to tutor their students through the No Child Left Behind program. After completing my studies of Economics I taught Statistics, Business, National Economics, and social sciences as an adjunct professor in Berlin colleges: Freie Universität Berlin and Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin. For four years I was employed in a private company as an Import-Export Manager. The last 26 years I taught Economics, Business, Math, German, Social Studies, Computing, and most of

Having spent the first 15 years of my sales career working with and teaching non-native English speakers I realise that listening skills, patience and empathy are three of the most important qualities that an effective teacher must possess. Minds are like sponges that absorb whatever they are immersed in, but at different rates, so it's important to understand that all students learn in different ways and progress at different rates, therefore flexibility and patience are absolutely required so the teacher can maximize their students' learning experience. I have spent the past 25 years in the field of direct-sales and sales-management. The nature of my products required a "consultative" selling style with an emphasis on teaching my clients. I had sales agents in various countries who had to be trained in the technical details of our equipment as well as their operation. Our agents were n

I have learned to apply various teaching methods to reach each student individually. It doesn't matter how smart I am, a master of the subject or my business successes. It matters that they get what they can out of the subject. Even how to take a test or to test the reasonableness’ of the answer. Seeing the "light go on" is a great validation to me as a teacher. Also knowing I have helped them grow and have the tools to succeed in the world. I taught nights at Prospect Hall College in Hollywood for 4 years. 1-2 courses per quarter. They awarded AA degrees in computer programming, business administration and others. I taught accounting I & II, personal income tax, managerial accounting, business administration, bookkeeping and public relations. I did tutor my grandson last year for 4 months while his family stayed with us. Algebra was one of the courses. I can pick up programs and apply t

I recently received my BS degree from University of Florida and am very interested in tutoring students in science and mathematics. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in life sciences through writing laboratory reports, conducting laboratory data analysis, and reading scientific journals. After completing my degree I entered pharmacy school at Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have informally tutored at University of Florida's tutoring lab in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, biology, and chemistry. I have a "can do" attitude and have a passion for mentoring since I have always been personally guided by my mentors. I believe that everyone can acheive full academic success through hard work. I understand that everyone comes from a diverse background, yet everyone posesses the same mental capability to succeed academically. I belive in the "can do - must do" attitud

I am patient, flexible, enthusiastic and friendly. I put the student first; the syllabus second. I do not want to lose the student and will backtrack to consolidate the fundamentals. I strive to avoid talking down to the student but rather encourage him/her with what they have to offer. I emphasize positives. My approach is explanatory rather than judgmental. As a Ph.D. level student in Sociology (ABD) with all exams passed, I have 2 years of successful formal teaching experience at the college level. In research papers I have demonstrated excellent grammar and writing skills. My linguistic training includes 5 years of Latin all of which makes me a very language conscious person. I have tutored students in German, English, French, Sociology/Anthropology. Furthermore I have extensive exposure to Korean, Thai, and Japanese. My multilingual training has sensitized me to inference-related

I believe instructors should be fair and knowledgeable in order to be effective educators. I believe allowing students to have some flexibility and leadership in their own learning makes a more enthusiastic and motivated student. I believe instruction should be purposeful, meaningful, and appropriate for what each student is required and capable of attaining. I also use assessments (formal and informal) to measure and adjust learning goals for all students regularly. I have taught elementary through high school special education as well as regular education course loads. I have experience in alternative school settings, juvenile justice, and public school, as well as GED prep work. I regularly integrate technology into instruction and attend professional development opportunities when they are provided.

I am a college graduate with degrees in finance and real estate. Through the years I have educated myself through higher learning in all areas of academics. Years ago I performed all the requirements needed to graduate a four year college, one of which is interaction with other students in a study group atmosphere and either learning or teaching each other. I have always loved learning and teaching people which I believe qualifies me to tutor young people. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I would use all the learning styles while tutoring a person to evaluate and develop the learning style which best fits the individual. I believe anyone can learn and have fun doing so, it is the teacher or his style or any combination which hinders the student.
