Hearing Impaired Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lawtey, FL

Hello! My name is Kristin. I am 28 years old and very passionate about teaching and working with students. I am an experienced tutor and have worked with students of all ages and disciplines. In addition, I have also worked as a teacher's aid in Duval County working with elementary students one on one to help them master areas where they had difficulties in. The students I worked with all saw great gains in areas that they had previously struggled in. I prefer to use a more individualized teaching style and it is important that each and everyone of my student's program is specifically created and tailored to meet his or her educational needs.

I use whatever works best for the child and can hold their attention span. It depends largely on the child's age, interests, and whether or not there are any learning, or any other disabilities. All children are capable of learning and enjoying to learn. I believe all children, whether normal developing or special needs deserves the same experiences, just delivered in different ways. I have worked in both General Education and ESE education. I speak spanish fluently and french, semifluently. I also have some background in American Sign Language. I have also worked with the emotionally disturbed child.

During college I pursued a fine art degree focusing on Photography. Having taken classes in ASL when first entering college, I decided to return to pursuing a career involving American Sign Language.

Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process. As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obstacles

I believe patients is the key to all with learning. Especially to children who have a hard time at school or may come from a family that education is not emphasized. Children no matter what age can feel fustration and anxiety from others remaining calm, positive and assuring is the best way to get a child relaxed enough to be able stopo worrying about all other things going on in the lifes and focus on the subject at hand. Letting them know you 'know' they can do it and will stick it out with them until they do. I believe that having one person who believes in them can change a childs life and how they feel about themselves and there educational future. Every decision we make in life is a result of consequences. I would love to be that postive emforcement and make a difference in a childs life.

I enjoy teaching children the fundamental aspects of any subject, and delight in witnessing the brightening of that child's comprehension of the subject. I am a firm believer that every child harbors their own level of 'genius', and is capable of learning to their maximum potential. I believe every child deserves a chance to achieve at the height of their capability, provided they are given the chances and the educational tools for success in an encouraging, nurturing environment. I hope that the remainder of my career is utilized as the impetus for those achievements. As a former corporate manager and full-time mother, I received a BA in Theatre Arts and a MSW in Clinical Social Work in hopes of working with children and young adults in low socio-economic environments. I relinquished my job as a clinical social worker, and began tutoring elemenatary-aged students in 2004. I became a f

I graduated from the University of North Fl,Cum Laude. I am certified to teach K-5. I am qualified beyond that level because I supplemented my income in college by researching, outlining and writing papers for other students. I also worked part-time as a tutor at the college level. I have a 20 year old son who is mentally challenged. I have become educated through research and his medical care about the needs of Special Education students. I have spent countless volunteer hours over the years working with these students in public and private schools. I also spent 3-4 years teaching adults computer programs. As a result, I am proficient at an intermediate/advanced level in Microsoft Word, Excel, WordPerfect, Lotus and Quickbooks Pro. I love teaching people of all ages. I believe any person is capable of learning if their education is made specific to their needs. Some people are auditory

I have always been a tutor looking back. My friends were always asking for help with their homework. I enjoyed helping them. When their parents learned that I was a godo tutor, I found myself helping my friends' little brothers and sisters with their schoolwork. It made me feel goood inside--- stil does. I guess teaching is in my blood. I enjoyed substitute teaching the best as i give me a chance to teach a variety of topics and meet different people on a daily basis. I have classroom experience in English, History, general math, and Social Studies. My teaching style is predicated on the belief that children truly want to learn. I like to introduce the goal or goals for today. Ask a few questions regarding ysterdays assignment and see if the class will bridg the two by itself.

I am passionate about teaching and as a recent retiree, I miss the opportunity to work with students. I have taught AP language arts, standard English to all levels of high school, drama, speech, adult ed (FCCJ), and dual enrollment English Compostion, and Introduction to Literature. I am distressed at the lack of student expertise in composition and I believe in a firm foundation of basic grammar. I know how important college essays are and I have taught test prep skills to students. I have thirty-one years working with young adults from all levels and from all aptitudes. I have also worked with inclusion students and understand the dictates of IEP compliance. I am creative, witty, and have a great rapport with students. I understand the nuances of various learning styles and my first priority is to discover the style my learner is. I administer diagnostic skills which I use to

I currently have my AA degree in nursing.I've spent a lot of time in the student life and leadership department that works one on one with students to help them with college success. I would say that my teaching style varies depending onthe person I am teaching. There are several ways that people respond to in order for them to understand. I thik that everyone has a unique teaching style but still needs to be flexible in order to help the student understand.

I am the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally education. Near the end of this time, I felt that the best use of my talents and experience would be in the classroom helping to build a better society through the young people who cross that threshold. I spent three years in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area teaching 7th and 8th grade learning handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and autistic students. through all of these years I have also tutored students ranging from inner city broken homes to Ivy League geared people. I have found that the best way to teach is to be flexibl

1) My experience has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of 11-21 year old students, who have an equally wide range of educational abilities. I worked one-on-one with students with special needs and helped educate students in regular education classrooms. Working with these students has allowed me to develop and adjust my teaching style to meet the needs of the students. For example, if a student was a visual learner, I utilized illustrations and created visuals to aid in their comprehension of the subject. If a student was a tactile learner, I provided creative and fun ways to make physical examples that would aid in their learning. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2007. I worked at Savanna Oaks Middle School in Verona, WI as an Educational Assistant specializing in Special Education for one year. I created lesson plans

I enjoy learning and I strive to teach so that my students enjoy learning as well. I choose to cater my instruction to my individual students so that I can interest them, connect to them, and meet the overall needs of the student. I pride myself on my creativity and I work hard to come up with unique ways to teach skills that have become frustrating and often boring to students because I understand that not all students learn in the same fashion. I know the importance of instilling the knowledge of basic skills into my students but I also recognize that learning needs to be interesting and relatable in order to comprehend. I am patient, flexible, and compassionate to all learners. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. in Elementary Education and Endorsements in Reading and English Speakers of Other Languages.

For the last nine years, except for one break to finish my college degree, I worked at the Boys & Girls Club of Erie County. My primary job was director of education, where most of my time was spent tutoring, teaching and helping with homework. Over that timespan I worked with a wide range of students from first grade on up to graduating seniors and college volunteers. I can assist students in all of the academic disciplines. My specific degree is English, with a concentration on Creative Writing. My personal favorites are science and philosophy. Each student engages homework in a different way. For example, some with a lackadaisical approach, some with a sense of being overwhelmed, some that are missing fundamentals and some unable to self-check. The one thing all students have in common: the desire to learn is in their minds. It may be pushed aside, but all students feel the power of k
