Vocals Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in La Crosse, FL

I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the correct direction. I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of

I will graduate from the University of Florida in April 2010 with a BA in Biology, which required me to take up to Calculus 1 as well as Analytical Chemistry and Physiology classes. I have excelled in courses requiring numerical analysis and have experience teaching and tutoring, both in academics and athletics. Over the past 7 years, I have tutored peers in College Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, and have given horseback riding lessons. Because I learn best from application and hands-on problem solving, I incorporate games, diagrams, metaphors and stories into my teaching. I am patient, fun, and organized. I enjoy leading an individual to discover not only the answer, but also the method to solve similar problems. I believe study skills and time management are the keys to academic success and strive to help my students develop habits that will carry t

I know the importance of being patient with students and finding the best way that they can learn something. My goal as a tutor is to help your child learn skills that they can apply to different subject areas. I truly want the children who I tutor to have fun learning. I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida from the College of Education with a BA in Elementary Education. I entered the ProTeach program during my junior year at UF.

I love teaching and working with young minds. I believe anyone can learn and meet his or her potential if he or she is given the opportunity. I am patient, easy going, and considerate to the needs of the learner. I hope to make a difference in a student's life and I am available to help you find academic success. As a graduate of Southwestern College, I was very much driven by a high level of excellence in education. While on active duty in the military, I completed my BS in Human Resource Development and I received Magna Cum Laude honors. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports in various areas of study. During the last eight years of my military career I have counseled Sailors in pursuing a college education and tutored several of these same Sailors in English and mathematics.

I was enrolled in the Master's Program for Elementary Education at the University of Florida and volunteered over 300 hours in the public school system. I have only one year left before obtaining my advanced degree should I decide to return to school. I have also been a tutor and mentor for at-risk youth. I have volunteered with the public library and used to spend one day a week reading to children in foster homes. I have spent the past year as a Lead Teacher in Colorado where I was able to have my own classroom, assistant and students. I have worked with several children with special needs and was able to work with several professionals in the best way to teach my students. I keep an open mind that most children learn in different ways. I try to provide lots of different ways of learning the same subject. I have a background in Anthropology and have traveled extensively througho

I took the Montessori Method courses in my twenties, and was so fascinated by it I decided to get a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood. From there, I went to on to teach all elementary grades and subjects in both private and public schools. For a time, I taught English as a Second Language to both children and adults, and then moved into my favorite area, music! Throughout all these fields of interest, one constant remains: learning is what keeps life dynamic, no matter what our age might be! I thoroughly enjoy teaching all ages, and because of my wide variety of experiences, I am able to keep the learning activities varied, relevant, and interesting. Working with so many ages and nationalities, I've become acutely aware of the many different styles of learning, and work hard to find methods that appeal to every learning style.

As a high school student, I spent time volunteering for a developmental learning center working with children who had mild to severe handicaps. While I found it to be a physically, as well as mentally, demanding job, I also found it to be quite rewarding. During college, I found a new appreciation for educators, and a desire to become one. I started working for Mad Science in December of 2008 teaching kids science. Most of the work that I do is contained within a classroom with between ten and twenty children at a time, grades 1-5, teaching fun, hands-on style science. Learning of any form comes from experience. I am willing as a tutor to help bring learning to a personal level for the student, making connections with their everyday lives and creating unique ways for the students to remember and retain the material being taught. I consider my approach to study to be that of patience, per

As the parent of a college student with Asperger’s and several learning disabilities, I know firsthand that connecting with a teacher who is kind, creative, patient, and most of all, who believes in her students, can make a world of difference to someone who is struggling to learn. I am that teacher. I strive to understand my students’ individual learning styles, drawing upon Multiple Intelligence theory when appropriate. I have high expectations for my students and will not let them take the easy way out. I am also my students’ biggest cheerleader, celebrating every learning victory, big or small. I have yet to meet a child who cannot or does not want to learn; the challenge is finding the key that will unlock their door to success. I started tutoring students in Hebrew when I was fourteen years old, and continued as a teacher's assistant throughout high school. I loved teaching a

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 love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children are smart and can learn they just need someone who has the patience and ability to teach them as I do. I like it when children discover knowledge on their own so I like giving them feedback to help them realize the answers on their own and feel like they really have accomplished something. The look on the face of a child when he or she finally understands is priceless! I hold dual Masters degrees in Architecture and Construction and I have a passion for teaching. While earning my masters degree in construction I was a teachers assistant for construction courses and enjoyed teaching and helping over sixty students learn the material. While I was getting my first degree, which was in architecture, I worked at a music school and taught classes to children ages 4 and up. Currently I have been mentoring a middle school ch

Students learn at different rates and are motivated to learn many different ways. You have to quickly identify their passion and then incorporate that passion in their education. All people young and old can reach their goals if you have patience and let them know you care about them and their future. I am very driven to achieve a high level of education. I have a Bachelors in Accounting and Masters in Business Administration. I am working to complete my law degree and have worked as a CFO and CAO in Fortune 1000 companies. I am technological savy and have been a CIO in Fortune 1000 companies as well. The only experience I have with students is working as a adjunct professor in Accounting at UNF. I can work with students in math,English,business and accounting. I also recently received my Law degree and passed the LSAT test.

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 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 math and

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 utili
