I take pride in my ability to be innovative and creative to teach all children the way that they learn. I truly believe that there are 25-different types of intelligence. As educators, it is out job to determine how kids learn and teach them that way; not expect them to conform to a formula or out expectation. All children are unique and are brilliant in their own unique ways. In my experience through course work and volunteer experience, I have instructed teens in mediation, leadership skills, and assisted them in making healthy choices, created a social skills curriculum, and learned various psychological techniques and skills for assisting people. By utilizing a multi-discipline approach, keeping accurate records of all sessions and interactions with the kids and their families, and communicating necessary information to team members.

I have over 20 years experience teaching mathematics at the community college and university levels. I have also worked as a tutor at the Mathematics Laboratory and the Academic Success Center for Okaloosa-Walton Community College. I have worked as a private tutor on numerous occasions in the past. Most recently, I worked as a tutor for a private school in the Dominican Republic where I tutored eleventh graders in pre-Calculus. From my own experiences as a student I have come to the opinion that the most valuable educational accomplishment one can achieve is to “learn how to learn”. This seems to be a state of mind, an epiphany if you will, which hopefully will be realized at some point in the course of an individual’s intellectual development. Such a state of mind is not usually due to the efforts of a particular instructor, nor is it the result of having taken a certain class. Rather

As an experienced professional in education, I value it's importance. Learning how to read is an essential skill that should be taught in a personal manner. By being certified in Special Education, I've kept myself abreast with current teaching styles and approaches. It's very rewarding to see how a student blossoms and becomes an active learner! I look forward to continue being an active part of that process! Having been an educator for over 30 years, I love and enjoy the opportunity to work with students individually. It allows the teacher to customize the setting to be encouraging, positive and workable. The learner is able to adapt well and know that their questions and concerns will be dealt with in a safe and supportive learning envirionment. By being patient, understanding, supportive and encouraging; this will lead to a sense of achievement. Every child has that opportunity

My teaching style is essentially one of motivation and entertainment. It is my contention that a motivating teacher has to be somewhat of an entertainer to ensure he or she has the undivided attention of students. I have been so successful with this teaching approach that I have been cited by "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" on four occasions for teaching excellence. I am also able to inspire students by telling them of my life's story; one in which I started out in life as a high school drop out and was able through hard work to get back on a track of objective endeavor.

I have worked part time as an adjunct instructor since the '70s, including 22 years with the Orlando Program of Florida Southern College, and 11 years with Valencia Community College. The later provided me with dozens of short courses in education. I also completed and retired from a civilian career with the US Army and Navy, starting as an intern, and reaching Senior Executive levels. Very recently I have been tutoring fifth grade and seventh grade students attending Lake Highland in Orlando. Also worked with math students working at Seminole State and Valencia. Students learn best from doing things. I try not to lecture, but to involve the student in the learning process. I can lecture, but I haven't found it to be as effective as other methods. I very much prefer tutoring to classroom teaching, mostly because I am helping people learn what they want to learn, and solve pr

For three years, I have taught reading and remedial English part time at Valencia Community College. I also have four years' experience tutoring English, reading, and algebra at Valencia and Rollins College. Working in two writing centers, I have helped create grammar exercises for remedial students. I also have done one-on-one tutoring and online writing consultations. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Liberal Studies in Humanities. As a teacher, I believe in keeping the students engaged by varying activities and engaging different styles of learning (ie using visuals, interactive lecturing, and hands-on activities). When I tutor, I also try to use similar tactics to keep the students engaged in the activity at hand. I believe in being very patient and easy-going, but firm when needed.

I have a diverse background in teaching/tutoring. I have been a high school English teacher and a substitute teacher. Also, I have tutored for agencies as well as independently. The subjects I have tutored include English, composition, mathematics, geometry, and SAT preparation. I like to use the Socratic style of teaching combined with using examples from historical and current events to convey an idea. I like for students to comprehend an idea through their own effort, guided by relevant questions from me. Finally, I want to instill in students a natural love of learning and curiosity about the world that they live in.

My philosophy is to encourage and listen to students, and while giving them clear direction and guidance, to also strive to teach them to learn how to write on their own. The goal of the Rollins Writing Center was to create better writers, not better papers, and my teaching style follows that thinking. I listen to students and ask them questions, giving them concrete examples when needed. I provide them with strategies for better analysis and writing, but also encourage them to think originally and to develop their own ideas, since I believe it is important for students to learn to think and write independently, rather than just blindly follow directions. As a double-major in English and Religious Studies at Rollins College, I know how to read, write, and analyze effectively. I graduated with Honors in the English major due to the senior thesis I wrote, in which I conducted independe

In addition to my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering I am currently working towards my masters in the same field. I am specializing in Thermal Fluids and for the most part it deals with the mathematical interpretation of fluids in motion. In my undergraduate studies I had the opportunity to tutor freshman and sophomore students in the field of math and physics. I also had the opportunity to help teach 4th and 5th graders basic math at Pineview Elementary in Tallahassee, FL. My math skills range from easy to hard and I've had the experience of explaining the sometimes confusing world of math to students. One of the most difficult things about math is comprehending the concept. Many learn through repetition, or visual demonstration. I would think that my tutoring skills involve both. Repetition allows one to get an idea of what they are doing and it also helps develop que

I am very patient, tolerant, disciplined and encouraging. I believe that all children have the ability to do well in school as long as they are taught the appropriate tools for success. I have recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in Sociology and a certificate in Behavioral Forensics. I graduated Cum Laude with University Honors and an overall GPA of 3.78. I place a high importance on education, knowledge, as well as good grades and was on the Dean's List every semester of my college career.
