Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Laurel, FL

I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught

Goal: acquire new information;reach maximum potential.Part of my challenge + responsibility is to have every class member realize this; to impart my knowledge and experience to all; to have them gain knowledge; to capitalize on diversity so all are able to take away information; to grow academically, emotionally and intellectually.

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels. Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I believe that every child can learn. I love working with children and finding the style of learning that best fits them. I see learning difficulties instead as learning challenges that can be overcome. I take a creative, goal oriented approach and love to see students achieve their best. I recently moved to Florida after working in an urban school for 3 years. Prior to working in a school as a School Social Worker and Special Education Director I directed an afterschool program for juvenile boys on probation. I have had extensive experience with special education students. I have been trained to work with difficult students including behavioral modification. Previous work includeds School Social Worker, teacher assistant and tutor. I currently working part time as a Child and Family Therapist.

I would describe my teaching style as very patient, supportive and goal-oriented. I bring various activities to the class, including games and music, and generally let the students do as much work as possible, especially practicing speaking, writing, listening or reading. I learned that Student-Centered teaching is a good method and I try to use it as much as possible. I have a very clear speaking voice and most students find my classes to be fun and inspiring. I am used to being in front of people as a music performer and I find this helps in making the class more interesting and motivates the students to work hard. I have ten years of experience as an ESOL teacher. I began my career in Costa Rica in 2001 and upon returning to Sarasota began working for Sarasota County Technical Institute. I then moved to Barcelona, Spain to obtain the Cambridge CELTA certificate from International

I have my professional certification in Elementary K-6 and Physical Education K-12. I recently taught Kindergarten and I have more than 30 years experience working with children of all ages. Along with teaching I have twice owned my own school and been the Director of many schools and summer camps. My strength has always been teaching Mathematics and I am taking the certification test next week. One of my gifts with working with children has always been the ability to relate well with them. I know what motivates children and have always shown patience and understanding. I have always tried to have children learn while having fun and try to give them multiple experiences because not all children learn in the same way.

Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati. However, I completed a Ph.D. in Education at the University of Florida in 1990. I was a full-time special needs teacher at Oak Park School in Sarasota, Florida from 1998 until 2006. I was responsible for teaching elementary, middle school, and high school grade levels. It was a very rewarding job and gave me experience in many different areas in education. Since retiring from Oak Park I have spent a considerable amount of time tutoring in several different areas, including English, history, and math. I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Pers

I have experience teaching developmentally disabled adults how to read as well as art therapy. I am currently a tutor for the Sarasota School District and am level II pre-screened. As a graduate in the field of Liberal Arts, Arts and Letters, I have studied a wide array of subjects. I am comfortable tutoring children (as I do now 1-5) as well as young adults or adults preparing for the GED or SAT. I excel in all subject areas, however I have no experience in trigonometry or calculus. I have studied fine arts, humanities, biology, creative writing (have written two soon to be published books) as well as statistics and I speak fluent Spanish. My teaching style is associative. I believe in visual cues as well as personal associations/visualization in order to learn and remember material. I possess excellent study habits that I believe I could convey/transfer to students.

I have always felt that academics are a vital aspect of my life. I have maintained a 4.0 grade point average while working on my bachelor’s degree and also in my studies for my master’s degree. Not only have I had academic success, but I have had the wonderful experience of working with all age groups from elementary to high school in various programs. For the past two years I have been involved in writing the curriculum for health and physical education at Pleasant Valley. I have also had the opportunity to work with the reading apprenticeship program at Pleasant Valley. These experiences have given me numerous opportunities to work with children and to expand my understanding of the teaching profession. Teaching is my passion. I love to see the look on a child’s face when they have grasped a concept. Through my experiences I have learned that children are all different and learn

I have a natural gift for teaching and I very much enjoy it. I am an upbeat person who is a natural encourager and I am a patient person. I am very methodical and organized in my teaching. I tend to come from a different angle, presenting information with a different perspective that allows for greater understanding. I love to see the "ah-ah" moments when someone understands something they had previously been unable to grasp. I find it very rewarding and exciting. I have 5 years of volunteer teaching experience. I have worked with ages of children ranging from infant to 5th grade. In addition I have a years worth of experience teaching adults. I have worked in the areas of memorization, art, music, stories and use of analogy. I have also focused on reading and writing. I am currently in a Masters program to receive a degree in Professional Counseling. As a result of the many papers

Currently, my experience with teaching has been in an online environment. In the past I have worked with staff members to provide training. In regard to children, the thought of being able to help them become successful with their reading and math skills draws me in, and I feel that my creativity and organization as well as desire to meet challenges would make me an excellent tutor. I have over 30 years of work experience, many in the customer service and one on one area. I have a bachelor's degree and graduated with a 3.65 GPA. I am currently teaching as an adjunct professor for Rasmussen College in their Allied Health Program. I have tutored students in specific classes. While I have no hands on experience in tutoring elementary students, I feel that my communication skills and abilities would allow me to do an excellent job.

Excellent with children, I can adjust my teaching style with the personality of the child. No child learns the same, so it is important to create a learning plan that builds trust and respect between the child and tutor. I have found my greatest attribute is the ability to make learning fun and “cool.” I am passionate about teaching. If the children you teach can sense your passion for the subject, they will absorb that energy and want to excel. I also consider myself very patient - frustration has a very negative effect when trying to create a positive learning environment. Finally, I believe in creating a benchmark style constructional curriculum. I strive to instill the same love for learning my teachers gave me. Learning is for life. My education is a private-based curriculum comprised of small student-teacher ratios. Since 4th grade I was taught intensive Spanish. A prep student,
