More About This Tutor...

As a University of North Florida graduate, I was driven to plant the seeds of learning and touch the lives of students. I have earned a bachelors degree in Elementary Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in teaching grades 1-6. I have taught second grade in the public school system for five years. I have a real love for children and feel rewarded as I see growth and development in my students
The reason why I chose the teaching profession is because I want to be able to make a difference in the life of a child. I use many different teaching techniques so that I can meet the needs of individual students. I use visual, verbal, and hands-on teaching strategies. I am very patient and have faith in all of my students to become successful, and reach their fullest potential.

Teaching, in general, has always been a passion of mine. I received my BA in Elementary Education in May of 2007. My internship experience was teaching Language Arts in a middle school in Chicago, IL. Upon moving to Fernandina Beach, I became a teacher for Catapult Learning in Jacksonville. During this time, I provided supplemental Reading/Math instruction to students in the first through sixth grades whose test scores were below grade level. I have also provided a six week tutoring service for the FCAT at Yulee Elementary.
With my experience in teaching, I have realized that students are like snowflakes- all unique and they learn in different ways. I always pay attention to the different ways they learn and incorporate that into my lesson plans. As a tutor, I will discover the way your child learns to satisfy their academic needs. I am a firm believer that teaching is a career cho ... read more

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

More About This Tutor...

I was a tutor of Elementary School age children for one year, before joining the military. I am a mother of two boys, one being in the 2nd grade and am experienced in elementary level schoolwork and reading. I am extremely organized and efficient and love to help kids learn!
I love children and watching their eyes light up when understanding a certain subject brings joy to my heart. Patience is one of my strong points and I try to let the child reach thier goals in learning as independently as possible by encouraging them to work toward and answer to a question methodically and using a "figure it out" type style. On the other hand, I stay by my students side offering a shoulder to lean on, and support when struggling.

I like to encourage people to pursue their potential. I hate busy-work, and try to give assignments that work on multiple levels; therefore, even if the student may not immediately see success in a trouble area, the student can be encouraged by their success in the stronger areas. I believe in tying subjects together through interdisciplinary studies. I use a method revolving around questioning and guidance, which challenges the student to be responsive, and verbally rationalize why they have come to a certain solution. This not only helps the student be engaged and active in the learning process, but also allows me to analyze the student’s thought processes.
During my time in high school, I started going to math tutoring to work on my homework. There was one fantastic teacher, and many students. When I would finish my homework, I would help others. Later, in college, I passed mat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and helping others excel. I am willing to go that extra mile to get the job done and I make sure that not only a student passes but they learn along the way. I have several styles of teaching and I like to keep it interesting by changing up the way that I present the material to keep the student engaged and interested. I like for the students to participate, communicate and provide feedback. This gives me the opportunity to see what they know and what they don't know. Also it allows me to see the growth in the student, allows me to tell whether or not they are learning, and it also allows me to know what approach to take in delivering the materials on their level in which they can understand and comprehend.
I have earned a MBA degree in Business Administration and a Concentration in Human Resources and I am currently pursuing a dual MBA degree in Management Informa ... read more

More About This Tutor...

From a young age I've always been interested in helping those less fortunate than myself. I've been a mentor, a tutor, a Peace Corps volunteer, and I've also worked as a Hospice volunteer. Having these broad experiences in the United States as well as abroad has helped me to garner a deeper understanding of how to communicate with people on all levels. As a Hospice volunteer I've learned the art of listening. Being a visual artist has given me the ability to approach what appears to be the most difficult of problems with the boundless energy of creativity. I've tutored those that don't speak English as their first language and I mentored children from local [Gainesville] Boys and Girls clubs while in college. While in the Peace Corps I taught basic health and wellness skills.
The best teachers that I've had and that have made the deepest impressions on me have been kind, generous w ... read more

My initial goal with any student is to establish comfort and trust. My easy going style and infectious smile will help any pupil feel at ease. My hope is always to create motivation within the student and confidence in their own ability. I see my position as assisting the student learn in a non-threatening environment. Criticism will always be GENTLE and instructive, directing the child or adult to the correct solution to any problem. Increasing self-confidence and self-esteem will empower the student and create an atmosphere where they have faith in THEMSELVES and are certain that they can learn anything that they wish and achieve even the loftiest goals.
