I have experience in working with children and young people in my missions and humanitarian work. I have lead teams of teenagers and worked with children in local schools, orphanages, and community organizations. I also worked at a daycare during my internship in 2004.
Everyone is special and unique in how they learn and incorporate new information. I like to get to know people to understand how they can learn on their skill level. Patience and understanding is key when working with students and young people because everyone is different and special.

More About This Tutor...

My B.S. in Elementary Education has provided twenty-five years of teaching in a wide range of experiences. I have taught K3-8 grade students, including those considered “at-risk” due to emotional and behavioral difficulties or learning differences, in traditional and outdoor classroom settings. I was able to integrate numerous evaluation methods and projects, including construction of 3-D artistic replicas, and student written, directed and acted skits. In addition, I incorporated the Internet and other news sources to further current event discussion. The emphasis of my work has been on teaching critical and effective reading and writing skills in regards to all subjects. A thinking student is a student who understands.
Throughout my teaching, I have adapted the classroom to complement and enrich each student’s learning style, a challenge I thoroughly enjoy. I believe in con ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I achieved an A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies and a BA in Pre Law. It was due to my most excellent parochial elementary and secondary education, that I was able to achieve the academic success I experienced returning to college as an adult student. I appreciate being able to help individuals understand why they need to know things and the impact that knowledge has upon our lives. As a P.T.A. president my motto was “ The more you know the more you grow and the more you learn the more you can earn!”
I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. As a Literacy Volunteer and Substitute Teacher I was able to do that. I have a need to know approach learning. I’m rather no nonsense, but kind and patient. My goal is to help youth understand why and how they learn and help them use their knowledge the their daily lives so it help to develop the ... read more

My style is base on finding the indiviual need of the child and helping the child reach their potential. I would do this through counsultation with parents and teachers if it is possible.Through this hopefully the student will gain confidence in whatever problem areas he/she has.The tutoring session would be different than classroom setting. Not as formal but there would be expectations and priorities so that the sessions would be productive.
After graduating from College, I entered the the field of social services as case manager. I employed for (12) twelfe years with serveral different companies working with cronically mentally ill adults. As a case manager my duties included, linking indiviuals to social and community services and monitoring their progress according indiviually designed service plans.I also worked as a mid manager supervising case managers.

I have always enjoyed working and playing with children. I am a positive person, “The glass is always half full.” Through positive response and encouragement, I feel that students become more self assured. Every child has potential, and we as educators and parents, must tap into that potential. Not every child learns the same way. It is important to find how and what makes a student want to learn. Positive reinforcement, constructive criticism, consideration and respect for each other and patience are all a part of my teaching style. I strive to make a difference in each student I tutor.
After graduating with High Honors from the University of Florida, I started my career in the field of Special Education. I taught both mentally and physically handicapped children/adults. I taught both in a school setting and home setting for students unable to physically attend school. Af ... read more

My teaching style is very hands-on. I believe in practical knowledge and showing students several different ways to understand something. I also believe in providing students the opportunity to figure out solutions to problems on their own with encouragement, instead of just having them copy what I say. I also believe that all learning exercises can be challenging and fun, and not dull and boring. I plan to take what the child is interested in and apply it to their learning.
Since high school, my passion for telling stories led me to my degree in Journalism. I worked as a professional news reporter for two medium market stations and was on my way to work for a larger market. My career took a turn for the better and I found my calling was education. I have always coached and been a choreographer, so working with children and helping them succeed was also a passion. I hope to ... read more

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.
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 love to see all children young and old be successful in learning. I believe in hands on and repetition. I believe that it takes a special person for that special child. One wrong word can destroy a child for life. I am a believer in trying to help a child find motivation within theirself. I believe in teaching and instilling in them to never give up. Being organized is an important step in getting started to success. We should work smarter and not be stressed. Given the appropriate tools, enviroment, your childs academic success will be evident. My gift is teaching, and my result is the success of your child. I love to see them being proud of themselves when they make good grades.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of a prestigious college, I was inspired to change my major from music education to elementary education. This choice was made due to the growing decline in students level of achievement in reading. I have my degree in elementary education and also a special certification from NASA with an emphasis in mathematics and reading. During the last eight years I have tutored students through after school programs,Sylvan Learning, and also through individual tutoring through my home.
I enjoy teaching to the utmost level. I know my strengths lie primarily in students who are of the kindergarten through fourth grade levels. I feel students should have the opportunity to be themselves and is why I enforce a learning enviornment that is condusive to being independent learners.

As a graduate of East Carolina University, I have continued to be persistent in every aspect of my teaching career. I have earned only a bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in child studies, which have helped me to develop and become the teacher that I am now. During the last four years of my college career, I have taught in a public school and have tutored children to help them succeed in their academics.
My teaching style is very different, but I love being able to differentiate my lessons to best suit my students. I do believe that all children have different learning styles, so when I deliver instruction, I try to combine the types of styles and incorporate kinesthetic activities for the students to visually see and have that hands on experience. I believe repetition helps children to learn and grasp instruction as well. Through repetition and correct delivery, ... read more

It is my personal belief that all students are capable of learning and excelling in any subject that they are having difficulty with, one must simply find a way to relate the information to the student with methodologies and lessons that appeal to their strengths and personal interests. My teaching style is one wherein the student and I are allowed to take advantage of a relaxed atmosphere that promotes both confidence and structure in the student(s) whom I am working with. I find that compassion, understanding, and constant positive reinforcement are the best methods to promote learning skills in a student's life, as well as to provide the student with the desire to further their work ethic in the classroom.

In my opinion, there is nothing that can replace the elements of positive regard and genuine concern for a student's welfare in developing a trusting relationship that engenders educational success. Also, I've found that the use of humor is helpful in developing a positive relationship with the individual learner. We learn best from teachers we like. It seems to me that one of the reasons that students lack motivation and fail to succeed is that they often simply don't understand what is being required or how to go about getting started. Students need more one on one attention than a classroom teacher can reasonably provide. Since home is where learning begins and most often occurs, it is the most natural place to learn. It is where people usually feel safe. I believe that every student can learn and grow when the environment is conducive to learning. I also believe in allowing s ... read more
