A Little Bit About Me...

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 parameters for the emotional, physical, and mental safety of each student. Specifically, this means the physical location must be without distracters, while the learning content is perceived as helpful, fun, exciting, relevant, and beneficial. The demeanor of the instructor must be serious while being neither stern nor judgmental.
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 educatio ... read more

I am familiar with most major learning styles but do not subscribe to one particular view. To me, effective teaching means being fluid, adaptable, and responsive to the students’ needs and learning styles. Just as a carpenter will use the right tools for the right job, I believe that a good instructor can assess and pick from several approaches the one that will benefit his or her students the most. In all cases, enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject matter are the two most important attributes a teacher can posses.
I have direct experience as a tutor in the University of Texas at Tyler Writing Center. While working there, I assisted students in all parts of the writing process from initial outlines to proper citation of sources. My more recent positions have all involved some element of training. These experiences ranged from lecture-style presentations to phone, email and ... read more

I love working with any age group, but especially high school and community college students seeking to improve their writing skills. I believe in spending quality time with students in order to customize strategies and techniques specific to their needs. Because we all learn differently, I am able to coach to any learning style. With the academic and professional world growing more competitive each day, sound writing skills are needed to help people land a job, communicate well at work, network effectively, and grow professionally. I learned from writing professionals with decades of journalistic, technical, and academic writing experience. I now use that experience to help make a difference in my students' lives.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Sports Journalism from the University of New Hampshire and am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Pho ... read more

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service.
I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students ne ... read more

I earned a B.A. in Mass Communications from USF in 2000. I became certified to teach K-12 grades in 2003. I taught 5th grade for one year and then Kindergarten for two additional years. I also spent a few years substitute teaching at the high school level. I enjoyed the experience of working with the older students as well as the younger ones. I have experience with FCAT preparation on the elementary level. I have a young son with special needs so I understand the challenges faced by students on many levels. My degree is journalism based. I have extensive training in writing and reading comprehension. Recently, I have moved into sales but my true passion is teaching.
I believe that each student will succeed. You have to presume comepetence and have high expectations. Students learn at different paces and achieve goals at different times. Everyone needs to be given an opportunity ... read more

Every child is different, but one thing all children need is some patience and motivation that they can do it. I am easy going and have great qualities to be there for children like I am for my own. I love to help children and anyone who needs help.
I have a degree in Criminal Justice. I have always been a good student. I have never directly taught children, but I have 2 kids who I help everyday with their homework and they are in junior high and are in all advanced classes. Since I feel that I am a great motivator and know how to study for certain things, I show my kids the encouragement they need and now I feel I can offer this to other kids as well. I have great grammer skills and can help with studying as well.

As a teacher I plan to use those skills to motivate students to learn while having fun and being silly. I believe that grades 5-9 are the pathway to either students loving school or hating it, and hopefully my faith and understanding of brain based learning will be the light for today’s misguided youth. In my quest for knowledge I have learned that students must feel that they are a part of the learning process in order for them to make it their own, so with the help of Wong I plan to incorporate these practices in my instruction within reason.
I believe that my instructional abilities, combined with my strong ability to teach. My background in Early Childhood Education as both a teacher for three years, as well as a supervisor for five years has further cemented my ability to teach. My experience has not only given me the opportunity of dealing with students from 3-12 years old, b ... read more
