CLAST Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake Monroe, FL

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 am a retired Police Officer having worked for the East Orange, New Jersey police Department for 27 years. My assignment at my retirement was detective bureau commander. As a working officer, I enrolled into college and obtained three college degrees and a teaching certification. My degrees and certification are listed with this application. 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

I have always been involved in the teaching industry. Weather that is after school care or tutoring and mentoring. I was an Americorps Volunteer from 2000-2001 working within education. I was an in class tutor for kindergarden, 3rd and 5th grades. I also taught at Apopka Middle and drop out prevention at Apopka High School. I facilitated a boys group every Tuesday night and a youth group every Wednesday night. I did summer camps and tutoring after school as well. My teaching style is that we do not move on until you (the student) "get it". If that is an hour or two, that's fine, or a week or two, that is fine as well. I need the student to know the material in order to move on.

Teaching is my passion. In the near future, I don't see myself doing anything else but that. My main objective in teaching is not only to promote learning of the subject matter, but also to help the students learn to think logically, learn problem-solving methods and techniques clearly and concisely, explain step-by-step processes and provide valid reasons for logical arguments. I just love to teach. The position that I applied for is to teach/tutor College Algebra or advanced mathematics and physics. In term of education, I have a degree in Electrical Engineering with many hours in Mathematics. Regarding experience, I had taught Math from Entry Level up to Calculus at JLF University

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

When I educate young people, I believe in allowing the class essentially teach themselves and empower them to conduct peer reviews, which does wonders for their self esteem. For adult learners, I have served as a facilitator in many different types of forums and adapted my teaching methods accordingly to my audience and what it is I am hoping to get across. I am extremely patient and am a good listener, which are attributes that I know assist me in building mutually respected and trusting relationships with my students. During my 13 years in the Navy, I have always excelled in my academics and I welcomed the opportunity to serve as a mentor to my peers as well as subordinates. I have been active in every school that my children have attended and currently work as a tutor occasionally for my sons 8th grade AVID class (math & science) at Galaxy Middle School, Deltona, FL.

I like working with individual from all walks of life. Some are meant to be leaders while others tend to be followers. But in general, we all want to be heard! I normally encoruaged people to speak their mind and be heard off. Communication is a must in order to understand individual person. Education becomes effective if you can establish goals and objectives on students. It becomes more enjoyable and fun when you have a clear vision of what is expected. I have several years of work experiences in management, hospitality business and in teaching others in the field of taxation and financial strategies. My BS degree in Industrial Engineering and Post graduate studies in Business Administration enhanced my ability to percieve others of their needs and wants.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Florida A & M University and hold a valid Letter of Eligibility for teacher certification. My teaching experience includes working as an ESE Aide, high school substitute and tutor in Alachua and Orange County. For the past year I have been working with students with disabilities. I am very enthusiastic about working with students in an education setting. My experiences in the classroom and educational background have provided the skills I may use in helping students reach high levels of achievement. I have a great deal of interest in helping students in school activities, testing, learning skills and assisting to make the school a safe learning environment. Furthermore, I am familiar with the current FCAT and education standards for Florida students. I will be happy to provide any references needed to endorse my skills a

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 problems they are having troubles with. 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 wo

My teaching style is quite universal in such that I believe in hands-on learning. I love teaching and working with all types of students. I am very patient, polite, and understanding of the needs of students who are trying to understand math. My goal is to provide a service where my teaching style will help them discover a math experience like never before. I believe all children and students can learn once given the opportunity to. My philosophy is to promote positive thinking and to let all children succeed in math. As a mathematics graduate, I have strived to teach and tutor mathematics in such a way that everyone could have a general understanding of it. I have earned a BA in mathematics, which has given me the opportunity to gain an understanding of how to make math an enjoyable subject. Many people that I have spoken to do not like math. I have made it a goal of mine to cha

As a future physician, working with people I find is necessary in order to be as efficient in every way possible. In the last five years, I have enjoyed working with kids of all ages as a tutor to middle school kids in high school, and then a tutor to college kids when at Valencia, and then as a tutor for no child left behind as well as private tutoring while in college. I feel that I have a purpose. A purpose to change the world. Sounds impossible, probably is, but why not test the waters by helping a child or adult to feel happy in knowing that they do "get it". Every time I bring a smile or hope to someones face, I feel like I have helped to start a change that through time could evolve into something great. I have tutored Math, English, Psychology, Arts, Sciences, and more. I feel the best way to help others is to help yourself, I know through tutoring, I am not only helping myself,

I create a learning-centered environment that is a welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging place in which my students feel safe enough to explore and share their thoughts and observations of the world. I consistently communicate my interest in and enthusiasm for the course material by demonstrating the real-world application of the skills we are learning and by illustrating how much I respect and value my students’ thoughts and ideas. I believe the old authoritarian model of classroom teaching, in which the student is a passive receptacle, creates a threatening environment that allows for very little room for growth. I follow a more democratic approach to teaching that is participatory in nature and promotes active learning. I have over ten years of college teaching experience and have taught a wide range of subjects, including English composition, English as a second language, remedial

As an undergrad at UCF, I spent time tutoring fellow classmates in english and math classes. I began teaching a student leadership class and continued that while in graduate school. I spent a year in Japan teaching english through a variety of teaching meathods. My master's degree education provided a great deal of technique and methodology in which to tutor students with special needs. I believe in determining the needs of each specific child. Some students need more structure, while others need more freedom and more creative pathways towards learning. I can facilitate both, specilizing in transformative, participatory learning. To see and hear are one thing, but learning by doing is the most successful. My goal in life is to provide opporuntity, motivate, and inspire others as others have done for me.
