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

Worked in ECE for 2 years, worked at Elementary School for 2 years covering grades Pre-K - 5 for teachers as they attended the CARE meetings. I have two degrees: B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies, and an A.A. in Psychology, which has enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of reading comprehension and writing skills. I have also gained a considerable amount of knowledge in math. I have a unique way with children, and I love children. Each child has a different way of learning, and as a teacher I recognize those ways and work with each child to help them achieve the highest level possible in education.

I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of difference in any child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now that I

After gaining a tremendous amount of experience as an elementary school teacher and after school tutor, I have learned that my approach is gentle and positive. My goal consistently remains to help students see their strengths, remain positive at all times, and see each and every student as a success. I believe every person has the capability to achieve and be more than average. My gift is teaching these students how to get there with patience, persistance, consistency, and genuine care. After graduating from Central Michigan University, I began my career in education as an early childhood teacher. Soon after, I completed and passed the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations and advanced my career as an elementary teacher. In this time, not only did I develop and implement daily lesson plans according to state and district standards, but also tutored student according to their abiliti

As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education. I have earned a BS and MS in Specific Learning Disabilities, Varying Exceptionalities, and English Speakers of Other Languages. I have always had a desire to work with students who have difficulties learning. I enjoy finding new ways to make learning come alive for these students. I have tutored for 4 years and even been an advocate for the parent in an IEP meeting. I have taught in the public schools all grades for 12 years. I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment. I empower and encourage students through many different strategies. Making learning fun and exciting is often the tool that is missing in the classroom as well as differentiated instruction.

I love teaching all ages, nearly all subjects. I understand that everyone has different styles of learning. When teaching to a group, ideally all styles would be touched on (auditory, visual, hands-on). When working one-on-one, though, it is possible to teach towards that individual's particular style of learning. This works so much better than a one-size-fits-all method of teaching. If one way of teaching isn't working, I search for a different approach, until I find one that works. I try to explain concepts using ideas and terms that the student is familiar with. This allows the student to relate new concepts to already familiar ones, which helps it 'stick' better. I love 'aha' or 'lightbulb' moments - it makes it all worthwhile! After graduating from college with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I taught a year of Sp. Ed.,at the elementary level. I returned to school and e

Everytime I see a student's eyes light up after learning something new or interesting to them it makes me feel like I have done something great. I am a very patient person and love helping students achieve academic success. When a student says to me that they need a little extra help with something it means that they want to learn and when a student wants to learn I am all for it. I want students to reach their highest potential and I will do what ever it takes, pulling from my adjuncting and substituting experiences, to help that student in anyway I can. I have a BA and MA in Communications, I was an adjunct professor in Communications as well as a substitute teacher in a high school. I will be starting the Teacher Immersion program at FGCU in the Summer. I am looking forward to teaching High School English and Speech, while doing Adjuncting at a local college. I have a lo

As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in addition to tutoring both Math and English as a part-time job. Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to di

I really love working with all children and students. I have experience working with children aged 1 years old up to the college years. I have always been a lover of education and know the knowledge equals power. I believe that education requires hardwork but can also be very rewarding and fun, which is why I am very animated in my teaching. This also helps keep children interested and I learned this strategy working with young children, as well as working with children who went to school during their summer vacation. I believe that children can be the best that they can be with the proper encouragement and tools to do so.

I love to teach. I presently teach at a montessori school for deaf children. I truly enjoy working everyday with my students. I have an innate ability to teach. I take pride in providing individualized education to all of my students. I guide them with respect and dignity to allow them to realize their potential. Being positive and having the right attitude can bring down many barriers that may block one from growing and learning and I make sure that each one of my students can learn the power of this. I have a varied academic background. I graduated from an interpreting training program in 1998 and worked as an educational interpreter for several years. I then went back to college to get my degree in education. Most of my studies are in education, including deaf and special education, psychology, counseling, american sign language, child speech, language development, and theate

My past experience living and teaching in Cairo, Egypt demonstrates both my personal and professional commitment to student achievement while at the same time overcoming language and cultural barriers. I believe this was accomplished by creating an environment where every child was respected and challenged to do their very best in a fun and relaxed manner. Throughout my working experience, I have realized that building strong relationships with all people is my key to success. I hope to be a role model who will inspire and help students achieve their academic goals. First, I have a genuine passion to inspire children to reach their full learning potential. Secondly, I would like to lead by example, continuing my own desire to be a life learner and thereby, encouraging our students to also feel the zest for knowledge. I believe knowledge promotes ones self-esteem and in return fosters h

I enjoy teaching young children. I believe that children can learn a lot of things from older adults. They may look at us and see us as a role model to them. I am a firm believer that teachers have a great impact on students. I yet dont have experience with the students, but I do believe that I have the knowledge to tutor young children. I graduate from South Florida with my AA in Elementary Education in May 2010. I still want to purse my career goal as becoming a teacher one day.

I have worked extensively with students with special needs over the past ten years as a paraprofessional. These experiences as well my post secondary education in Elementary and Special Education have given me the confidence and skills needed to become an experienced tutor. I have assisted students in various areas of the general education curriculum by modifying instruction to meet the needs of the individual student's needs. My goal in teaching students is to assess the best way I can provide instruction to utilize each student's individual strengths and manner of learning. I strongly believe in combining methods of instruction to most effectively fit the individual's needs thereby making the learning process successful as well as meaningful and memorable. My teaching style is creative, supportive and dependable. I aim to make the student comfortable enough in his or her own learning s
