I believe that the learner and instructor must work collaborative in order to be most effective. I believe in applied learnign which means that not only are the basics and mechanics necessary to form a foundation, but the learner must be able to see how the learning can benefit him or her now and in the future. I lean on case studies and items in the news to maximize interest in the learning program. Additionally, I am a consistent user of positive reinforcement. When the learner errs, I believe in facilitating their reasoning to discovering the best solution. I have been blessed with an inventoiry of skills that can apply across many topics: - Music - can teach singing and percussion - English - I am an author of 2 books, and have always been involved in editing and creative writing - Psychology - Much of my career has been based on managing human behavior - Speech - I am a profes

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry. Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

As a college graduate with a degree in Journalsim, I spent many years writing for both print and news radio. I have excellent writing and grammar skills. I have taught Business Writing courses to groups of employees from many nationalities who need to understand the English grammar rules and proper sentence structure, etc. Most were not native English speakers. I also volunteered in Schwarzkopf elementary school helping children with learning disabilities learn to read. I have a lot of experience with children at that school since I was a volunteer there the entire time my daughter attended. Many children have short attention spans. It's important to keep them engaged. When reading, I challenge their retention skills in a fun way and encourage them to elaborate on the story. This breaks up the task and gives me feedback I need to guage how they are doing. Are retaining the informa

I love teaching and working with children. I believe that with love and nuturing each child can reach their full potential. My goal is to determine each child's strengths and to build on them. I will do this by getting to know each child on an individual basis - talking with them, conducting assessment testing, and monitoring them as they work. I feel that after doing so, I will better be able to structure my teaching style. While attending Mississippi State University I tutored 3-12 graders. I tutored them in mathematics, English, and science. It was quite rewarding for me to work with these students because I was able to see immediate results. Not only in their work but also in their behavior. I was able to provide each of my students with personal attention that was necessary in order for them to grow. In addition, it brought me joy knowing that I was helping someone; a child, to achi

I am a very patient person. I change my teaching methodology to suit the individual I am assisting. Some people are visual, some are auditory.

I am a recent college graduate from FAU with a BA in sociology, and a minor in women's studies. I enjoy reading and writing, and I am very creative. In my previous employment I helped with reading instructions, filling out forms, and instructing adults on what steps to take in order to properly fill out lengthy applications for their business.

I believe understanding how the student thinks is the most important for me, that way, I can effectively strategize a plan to help them better understand my teachings. All students are able to learn and capable of doing well, it is just a matter of presenting the information in a way that they can understand. So, my teaching style caters to each individual student in order to provide them with the best education and through that, they will achieve empowerment and great results. During my undergraduate coursework, I have tutored colleagues from freshmen level to senior level helping them achieve optimum scores in Biology, Pre-Calculus, Finance, Marketing, Physical Science, and Accounting. I have earned a BS degree in Business Administration which gave me a broad understanding of all aspects of business as well as liberal arts. I have tutored students for 2 years and tremendously increased

I graduated in 2005 with a dual degree in mass communications/ emphasis in journalism and PR and a minor in Spanish, which is also my second language. While a student at the university I tutored in Spanish and also student taught at the local christian highschool for a semester. Having a degree in journalism has given me extensive grammatical skills. I have written dozens of papers, articles, and summaries. While interning at NBC 10 News in Philadelphia, PA I had the opportunity to write several press releases as well. My teaching style has always been to make learning as enjoyable as possible. I believe that I am old enough to know better, but still young enough to know the current trends and also to remember things I did not enjoy while in high school. I believe the main thing most students dislike is lectures, so I would incorporate games and small projects into my curriculum. I also

My academic and theoretical foundation of a B.A. in psychology has been fine tuned by my 30+ years of professional experiences with thousands of individuals from many ethnic groups, economic backgrounds, educational abilities and goals. I understand we do not all retain and master information and constructs in the same way. I quickly adapt my approach to accommodate the better learning modality of the student. I have had the opportunity to contribute to positive changes in several individuals' lives and mastery of both simple and complex subjects. I will do all I can to enable students to succeed far beyond their current expectations.

Working directly with youth and developing programs behind-the- scenes for them has been very beneficial. It has given me the opportunity to witness the needs of our youth first-hand, while being a motivating factor for my work. When working with students, my goal is to help students achieve success both in and out of the classroom. In order to reach the students I am able to get down on their level and assess their needs and pull them up to a higher level. I am patient and understanding but believe in pushing the kids to reach their full potential. The solid academic foundation that I received from the University of South Florida as well as my involvement in various student organizations has shown me the importance of a strong support system and has motivated me to pursue a career working with youth. Previously, I was employed by the School District of Hillsborough County. I taught
