SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake Placid, FL

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in". I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing. I have learned many skills, especially High Yield Instructional Strategie

I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and whole group studious conditions. At all academic levels at Elmira College, I helped students to succeed at their scholarly endeavors. As a parent, I guided own daughters to be successful learners. This makes me an excellent candidate to help the next generation to be set on the pathway to thrive in their life vision. My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies

Over the years, I have consistently maintained both high moral values and excellent academic standards. While earning my two BA Degrees, I served both as a tutor and substitute teacher in several elementary schools. My second BA Degree was earned from Warner University in the elementary education major which was earned in addition to my special education endorsement. Armed with a degree in education and proven extensive grammatical skills, I taught middle and high school students in all academic disciplines including Math, Reading, English, Writing, Literature, Social Studies, Life Skills, History, Science, and Geography. I am committed to helping each person reach his or her highest and greatest potential. My goal is to provide each student with an educational environment conducive for a successful learning experience. The tutor must establish the learning setting by creating parame

I have worked with children for what seems like my whole life, mostly through church. I know that every child can succeed with the right help. I myself am caring, compassionate, patient, and encouraging. I believe that my Communication degree has given me the unique ability to be able to explain problems in concepts in many different ways, which allows me to discover which works best for each student. I also try to relate problems and concepts, especially those that students are not fond of, to their personal lives, whether it be through what they'll need to do in college in order to pursue their dream, or how it applies to real life. I strive to help children embrace the learning of all subjects. I have always been driven to succeed, especially in school. I graduated magna cum laude with my BA in Communication this past December. This degree increased my own ability to communicate effec

At my undergraduate program, my professor for a course in Symbolic Logic asked to refer students in the class to me, if they had questions about the material. After the class had finished, the professor hired me through the university's Philosophy Department as a tutor for the same class. After graduation, I acted as a private tutor in my spare time. At Columbia University I was a Teaching Assistant for three college courses, giving me my greatest experience with explaining course material to a large group of students. I am currently working as a private tutor, with most of my clients learning college-level intermediate Algebra or Symbolic Logic. I love to interact with somebody who is curious and interested in the subject, no matter what the subject. In mathematics, I believe in a very thorough and conceptual understanding of the subject, which enhances one's ability to use the kno

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

I love teaching all ages, nearly all subjects. I understand that everyone has different styles of learning. When teaching to a group, ideally all styles would be touched on (auditory, visual, hands-on). When working one-on-one, though, it is possible to teach towards that individual's particular style of learning. This works so much better than a one-size-fits-all method of teaching. If one way of teaching isn't working, I search for a different approach, until I find one that works. I try to explain concepts using ideas and terms that the student is familiar with. This allows the student to relate new concepts to already familiar ones, which helps it 'stick' better. I love 'aha' or 'lightbulb' moments - it makes it all worthwhile! After graduating from college with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I taught a year of Sp. Ed.,at the elementary level. I returned to school and e

All through school I had an advanced understanding of math and i enjoyed helping others better understand it, for the past 5 years i have been offering tutoring to those in need. I have great understanding in everything up to and including statistics, algebra II, and some calculus. I have always seen math in a different way then those around me and have always been able to help others see the problems in a different light to better understand it. I take pride in my ability to help others understand even when they believe it will be hopeless

I love working with all students but the majority of my experience is with high school students and helping to prepare them for college. My goal is for them to see college as an option that regardless of their financial situation that if they work hard and want it badly than they will succeed. I have tutored children with learning disabilities and understand people learn differently so I am able to teach in many different ways to suit the need of each student Since graduate school I have been tutoring off and on mostly at the high school level in a variety of subjects, mostly math, through pre calculus, spanish, study skills, test preparation, history, sciences. I have also tutored elementary and middle school students. Although my education is in psychology I have been around teaching all of my life being raised by a school teacher. I am a mother of two small children and understand the
