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

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,

I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible. I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.

While I graduated Summa Cum Laude with the bulk of my courses in French, History, Psychology, and Classical Studies, my tutoring experience varies over a range of subjects including French, reading, grammar, math, science, history, and study skills. I have over 10 years experience tutoring, both formally and informally, from the kindergarten to college level in both private and group settings. My experience also includes work as an SES tutor I am dedicated to being individualized and believe that my greatest asset as a tutor is an ability to adapt to different thinking styles and situations, often on the spur of the moment. All of my tutorees have learned to trust that I will come up with a way that he/she can understand the subject material. I believe that unraveling the way a student conceptualizes is key. When it comes to a skill, I like to start as basic as possible, then move on t

I prefer inductive teaching rather than imposing lectures. An interactive style enables students to feel they are a part of the process and it personalizes the activities so that a feeling of success is ever present to solidify the foundations upon which to build a substantial knowledge base. I take the students from where they are to where they could be and urge them with positive feedback to reach goals they might have felt were otherwise unattainable. I treat them with respect which is returned without reservation. Having been a secondary school educator for so many years, I have observed the changes in trends in teaching as well as in learning. I have adapted my personal views to change with the trends so that I could incorporate novel techniques and personal creativity to enable all students to achieve at least to the height of their abilities. I have learned in corporate computer

My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instructor for dog obedience classes (you’re really teaching the owner, not the dog). My informal experience has been with my kids, helping them with homework and as a scout den leader and a coach for baseball and softball, and now with my grandkids. In my professional life, I brought new products and services to market which involved educating and orienting individuals and groups through demonstrating and teaching opportunities. My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the st

Every student can learn. It is my responsibility as a tutor to approach teaching with an open mind and explore various teaching methods in ways that make sense to the child. Every child is different and one method of learning does not work for every, single child. Learning needs to be made relevant to the child's life and worldview. During my coursework as an undergraduate student, I completed several hours devoted to art education, educational leadership and educational psychcology. I also completed the on-the-field teaching of art lessons to a mildly autistic elementary student for several weekly visits. In addition to my undergraduate experience, I was a teaching assistant for four college classes and I served as an instructor for a beginnning metalsmith course during my graduate studies. It was also at this time that I assisted international students in the writing and editing proces
