I love to teach, it is my passion in life. Every student has intelligence and every student is a genius in one subject or another in school. Any and all students can learn you just have to apply the material to them that fits their particular interests. I try to stay up to date on all the new trends and fads that kids are into in order to stay fresh and up to date with them and apply all my knowledge in science and in other subjects to fit them specifically. I have no one set way to teach any level of student because each person and group dynamic is much different than the next. I try to adapt all my lessons to fit all the learning styles (visual, auditory, hands-on, etc). I have plenty of experience teaching special needs students so I adapt my lesson plans to fit their particular learning styles as well. I try to be an educator rather than a teacher because students will remembe

I want to teach students about themselves, others, and the world around them through literature and learning experiences. All information is presented in ways that all students can relate and understand core concepts to be successful in the classroom and in life. The most important achievement in my teaching career is for my students to evaluate information, discover topics they are passionate about, and realize they have a voice and can make a difference by becoming life long learners. Education is my life. From a very young age, I loved school and learning. It all started with my brother and his learning disability. I tutored him all throughout his academic career. In college I tutored elementary students through the CARE program. I then decided to be an English Education major and have been teaching ever since. Currently, I am finishing my graduate work at East Carolina University and

I have worked as an elementary education teacher for 24 years. I attended East Carolina University and have completed 24 hours of graduate-level work towards a masters degree. I graduated magna cum laude and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa as well as the education honor society. I have worked at a local tutoring center as well as having done private tutoring. While serving as a child-care center director, I wrote and helped to implement a curriculum for children ages 3-8. As a teacher, I care about students. I believe that positive encouragement is the way to motivate. I worked as a private/public school teacher to provide each student that I worked with the academic/social support that was needed. I used my background in child development to motivate students to work to their potential. I have worked with students from a variety of ethnic/social backgrounds who had a wide range of abi

I have been very fortunate to have worked with many different age groups and in many different settings, since I first began working in the education field in 2000. I am a certified Special Education teacher with a BS in Special Education with a major concentration in Reading. I have worked with students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. I have been a remediation tutor, guided reading instructor, teacher assistant, and now I teach Special Education at a local Middle School. I have a very unique teaching style that enables my students to have fun while learning. I can easily see the individual needs of all of the students I teach. Each and every student that I teach is first and foremost a human being. I treat them as I would like my own children to be treated. I understand that what will appeal to one child will not necessarily work with another. I feel that creating a mutually respec

As an graduate of Elizabeth City State University, I have done exceptionally well. I learned so much through tutoring other students. When I tutored in the Business Department for Accounting and Finance classes, I gave some students hope, and some students even looked up to me. That they made me feel great and it really made me enjoy what I did because I helped a lot of the students turn the weaknesses into strengths. I feel as though every child can achieve the impossible, and with the help of someone giving them the attention that they deserve and need, they will feel better about themselves as well. I want to get a child in a learning mood where they'll want to go to school everyday and learn something. I want to be an inspiration to them or a role model or someone they can look up to for advice so that they can follow in my footsteps as far as finishing high school and continuing edu

My teaching style is one of direct. explicit instruction that targets the student's needs to help him/her move to the next level. It is important that we teach not only skills - what we want students to learn, but also strategies - how the student can successfully demonstrate the skill. By focusing on the processes that the student needs to think through complex problems in any content area, we are helping students build their knowledge base and be ready for the challenges of the 21st century. I have been teaching math and reading for 20 years. I am currently an instructional coach in a high school, where I work exclusively with teachers to help them provide instruction that will ensure success for every student in the classroom. I am certified to teach math, reading, and elementary school. My emphasis in my current role is helping teachers differentiate instruction based in student

I have been a counselor in the public schools for the past 16 years, both at the elementary and high school levels. I have tutored students in many subjects; ranging from 3rd grade math to advanced algebra to US History. I am able to diagnose weak points in the student's knowledge and remedy those weak points so that the student is better able to have a full understanding of the content. I believe that most academic difficulties come from small gaps in knowledge and a misunderstanding of how parts relate to the whole.

I love to help students become over achievers. I discovered that my success is directly related to how I overcame my past challenges with math, particularly Algebra. Reflecting back on the years when I attended high school, I struggled with math. Once I was accepted to NC A&T, I realized that I had developed a fear of math and did not understand basic algebraic concepts. After being assigned a peer tutor as a freshman, I overcame my fear of math. Due to his mentoring I was successful at conquering math concepts and performed well in all other academic courses. I successfully completed my degree in 1993 graduating with honors. This success has inspired me to teach and tutor math. I am committed to teaching and tutoring students. This is my way of giving back what was given to me, the opportunity to achieve academic success. I have been providing tutorial services for more than 10 years.

During my education program through the University of South Florida I had to complete 3 internships withing the Sarasota County School System. During my 1st internship I was placed in a 5th grade classroom at Garden Elementary School in Venice, FL. In this internship I spent my time working with small groups in the classroom during their reading block as well as working with students one-on-one. During my 2nd internship I was placed in a 5th grade classroom and a kindergarten classroom at Cranberry Elementary in North Port, FL. In the 5th grade classroom I worked with students in a whole class setting, one-on-one, and in small groups during both math and reading. In the kindergarten classroom I worked with students in a whole class setting, one-on-one, and in small groups during writing and reading.

I have enjoyed tutoring over the last year. I believe that when the learning style of a child is found, that child can learn anything! I myself have always been more of a visual learner. As a tutor one must understand that every child is different and unique in their own learning abilities. A tutor should always brainstorm and find new ways to help a child learn and have fun learning. Through earning my BA in psychology I have gained a finer understanding in people and cognitive development umong other things. In my college career I focused much on psychological disorders of children and how to help children. I have acquired excellent writing and research skills because of my educational background. I enjoy a challenging situation that enables me to focus and solve a problem. Over the last year I tutored a ten year old girl with ADHD in fifth grade on reading comprehension, writing skill

My teaching philosophy is simple and contains three parts. Part one: The concept or topic is easy, regardless of what it is, it just must be broken down to its most basic elements. This is my job to do for the student. Once this is done for the student it will be shown that the perceived “complexity of the subject” is simply a compilation of basic elements of the subject, from here the topic can be built upon to more advanced levels; I am convinced this idea is not subject dependant. Part two: The student must decide that he or she can and will understand the subject matter and be successful in it. This too is a part of my job to encourage, motivate and instill confidence in the student. Part three: Practice, practice, and after that more practice. I will teach and encourage the student to constantly work on his or her new skills in the subject matter and as always review his or h

I began my work, with youth, in 1983 when I worked with incarcerated youth at the Highland Youth Center in upstate NY. I later taught high school social studies at Mount Vernon, HS in Mount Vernon, NY where I also tutored after school. I eventually traveled to Benin, West Africa where I taught at a local British School and taught and tutored at the American Language Center. I have experience teaching diverse populations. I love teaching and watching students learn and grow. I feel that tutoring gives, a teacher, an opportunity to give a child one-on-one attention, therefore, enhancing one's potential at learning. I believe, that as children are our future, it is our responsibility to prepare them to be productive and useful citizens.
