The most rewarding moment in my teaching career involved Emily, a college student who suffered an injury, leaving her with severe short term memory problems. She had great difficulty learning new math concepts. We could work on the same, problem over and over again and she wouldn’t remember completing it once, let alone a dozen times. I learned that word-for-word repetition was the best way to move ideas from Emily’s short term memory to her long term memory. After many hours working together, I received a phone call from an elated Emily telling me that she finally earned a B in College Algebra and couldn’t have done so without my help. Emily taught me how to adapt to my students. Each student has her own strengths and weaknesses. It’s my goal and passion to find the best method of helping each student understand concepts and excel in their class.

I have taught both children and adults private piano lessons. I taught history and other subjects for 2 1/2 years as a daily and long-term substitute teacher in secondary schools. For one year I directed a public library story-time program for preschool children. I worked two years as a middle school Library Media instructor. I wrote curriculum and taught computer literacy for four years in a prison GED program. My undergraduate and graduate degrees conferred honors. I enjoy writing, and I completed a short story correspondence course with Writer's Digest. A science fiction zine published one circa 1997.
All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored f ... read more

I firmly believe in students succeeding in school and life. Having a love for learning and school is the key to good grades and a healthy attitude. I don’t believe any child wants to fail. Quite the contrary, children want to succeed. When students fail, it is because the system failed them and not the other way around. I believe the key to teaching kids is to help that child experience immediate success so they can gain self esteem during critical elementary school years. Next, areas of strength need to be identified and emphasized while weaknesses need to be improved. Meanwhile homework cannot be treated as an isolated event, but should be incorporated into the learning strategy.
I am a mother of two school age children with entirely different learning styles and a college graduate who has tutored friends and family for the past 14 years. I believe that learning is an en ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my experience as a teacher and tutor, I've learned that each student has a different threshold for learning, and a different speed at which they can process the information. The trick, of course, is to find the proper impetus and the proper speed for each student, and to nurture and enforce their efforts with positive feedback. I believe that I can provide each student with a learning experience that is both challenging and rewarding.
As a Master's student in English Literature at Florida State University, not only did I hone my own writing skills via academic papers and presentations; I also gained valuable teaching and tutoring experience as a teaching assistant. While enrolled, I constructed curriculum for and taught 2 sections of Freshman Composition per semester, wherein I instructed classes and smaller workshop groups in grammar, syntax, and composition. I've also tut ... read more

I successfully completed a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Social Work and a master’s degree in Public Health with a concentration in Behavioral Science and Health Education. I have tutored previous college classmates and K-12 students in English, Speech, Reading, Writing and Math for the last 4-5 years. When working as a graduate assistant for the University of Florida, I assisted in training undergraduate students in speech, presentation, math and writing skills. Also, for the last three years I have mentored and tutored two tenth grade students in whichever subject they need help in. Although I absolutely love working with kids, I have tutored all ages from elementary thru graduate level students.
I've been told that I have a unique style of teaching. I like to teach using rhymes, antonyms, and relating the subject to familiar life situations. My experience with ... read more

I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed.
My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions.

I am a very attentive person who reaches children where they are with respect to learning. I prefer to differentiate instruction based on a child's learning style, comprehension level, and prior knowledge. I am a very positive, motivational person who gives lots of positive reinforcements during the learning process.
Throughout my undergraduate years, I knew that educating youth was something I was very passionate about so I made sure to not ignore my passion. I completed a minor in Education including such courses as: Classroom Reading, Evaluation and Measurement in Education, Core Classroom Management Strategies, Intro to Special Education, and Young Adolescence. Also, I have had several hands-on experiences including, an opportunity to tutor students one-on-one at an elementary school, and to serve as a classroom assistant at both an elementary and middle school.

I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the subject and retain it in the long run.
I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor. In addition to my strong communication skills, I also experienced a unique high school experience, so I find it easy to relate to students wh ... read more

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests.
The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and psychology, and love to pass this knowledge on to others. I also have three cousins who have come to the United States from Taiwan to learn and I have spent an extensive amount of time teaching them ESL.
My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having stud ... read more

I believe that while students may forget specifics of what they are learning, they will never forget how teachers make them feel. I also belive that the best teachers are the ones that make themselves less needed the longer they teach specific studdents. I want to empower the students I teach to be able to learn and excell on their own in the future. I hope to make a difference by empowering the students I teach to learn to edcuate themselves bu giving them the skills they need.

A Little Bit About Me...

If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way to combat the growing trend of disproportionate teacher/student ratios, and I look forward to providing the kind of personalized instruction every student deserves. Moreover, after years of interpreting and teaching the lesson plans of other teachers, I've developed a talent for gauging their expectations, and can help those students I tutor learn to do the same.
