Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Laurel, FL

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 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.

I love children and I love teaching. I am extremely patient and very considerate. I take into consideration that each child has a unique way of learning. A child will learn success in various subjects when the child feels important as an individual. Children know their limits. I encourage each student to work hard and pursue a higher level of learning. With proper encouragement and loving support, students will work and do well in various subjects. I truly believe that all students have a genuine interest in learning and in doing well. I am very positive with each of the students that I tutor. After I graduated from college, I was hired to teach elementary school in Venice, Florida. While teaching in Venice, I also taught graduate classes for the University of LaVerne, LaVerne, California, in "Schools Without Failure". I have taught kindergarten through high s

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. 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.

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. Personally, I like to incorporate many different learning styles, whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Regardless of the subject matter, I constantly try to find ways in which to make the material exciting and relevant for the student. Motivating my students has always been a primary goal. Even though the main focus has been mainly the mastering of various academic skills, I am also somewhat of an academic rationalist in that I feel that all students deserve to be exposed to great ideas that have shaped our civilizations. 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

I am a passionate educator with five years of teaching experience ranging from middle school through high school. I have three years of administrative experience in a K-8 program. During my tenure I was responsible for writing curriculum and assisting teachers with implementation. My area of strength is literacy. I am a reading teacher first and know how to effectively diagnosis a child’s reading deficiency and create a plan of action to assist the child to become a better reader. I am fluent in mathematical concepts through Algebra II and have strong creative writing skills. I am a true believer that in order to effectively teach a child you must know the child’s learning style. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory. This method of teaching is essential in the tutoring aspect. I am a practitioner of culturally responsive teaching, which uses the cultural knowledge,

I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama. I have also have two years experience in the areas of ESL/ELL with my previous school district.

Since retiring, I worked with a local government grant program for youthful offenders, teaching GED classes and preparation for the FCAT exam. Reading and English were my focus. I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a likeab

I love tutoring, especially when students get it! The "light bulb" goes on.The most remarks I get are - "why did'nt my teacher show us that way?" I was chosen to teach math at a charter middle school; but the Board of Education (Manatee) voted to shut down that school after three days on the job. Subsequently, I began tutoring Math at Manatee Community College for three years. I've taken several refresher Math courses at MCC (3.66 GPA). This included 2 courses with Dr. Paul Nolting, author of the book "Winning at Math"; which concentrated on visual, auditory and tactile methoda of learning. I tend to treat Math as a Game; how do I (the student) get to the answer? I go over the basics, set up the "plan of attack" to reach a conclusion. It's re-emphasizing the "Rules of the Game". I really want to get the parent(s) involved in this process.

As a teaching professional with a diverse background I bring a breadth of experience to all levels of teaching. I have been tutoring for 10 years and specializing in one-on-one instruction. I currently teach English at the college level, but I tutor privately in a variety of subjects. Two bachelor degrees, in English and Communications, a Masters in English, plus 30 graduate hours in Education give me a strong foundation for instructing. My passion for teaching and learning, patience and understanding make me an ideal tutor. Kids respond positively to my teaching style. I am motivating and understanding about their needs while striving to make them feel at ease. I have found that a child learns better when he/she feels a teacher is giving that student his/her total attention. Students do not want to compete with other forces.

My teaching style is tailored to each individual student. During our first two sessions, I will be able to determine which teaching methods get the best response. Some students learn kinetically, with lots of motion necessary to avoid boredom, while others must have all their senses stimulated. For each lesson, in order to gauge the response of my student, I include audio/visual for listening skills and oral comprehension, picture identification for level of language skills, singing, repetition for pronunciation and language acquisition, conversation, reading and comprehension, and writing/cloze exercises for production of learning skills. Warning: I give homework! My specialties are reading, writing, and speaking. For over 20 years, I have done performances and workshops on literature, history, and acting in a variety of school and library settings. Most recently, I have expanded my

I am certified to teach both math and reading in Florida. I am particularly strong in helping students to understand the basics. I became a teacher because I feel that I can make a positive difference in my students' lives while providing them quality instruction from a teacher who truly cares. My last teaching assignments were in preparing high risk students to pass the FCAT and the GED. My students exhibited a ninety-seven percent pass rate on both tests upon passing my class. Students should be taught as individuals based on their particular learning styles. People learn at their own rate. My philosophy is that all students can be successful if taught by a caring qualified teacher in a positive learning environment. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges of teaching. My reward comes when my students are successful in learning and develop positive self-esteems towards learning.

Freshness of ideas, participative decision-making, and openness to suggestions characterizes my preferred teaching style. My experience has taught me that school curriculum should start with the long-term goals of making meaning and transference of learning. As an educator, I strive to be sure my students: a. acquire important information and skills,and b. transfer learning to new situations. Teaching with meaning and transfer requires authentic demands and application of the new skills and information. Students will not perform, and learning will be short term if they are not given authentic learning opportunities. It truly does take a village to raise a child. I am proud to be a member of this village. I have been an educator for over sixteen years. The more years I work in education, the more I have come to realized that educators are life coaches, and change agents.
