I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.
I have taught kindergarten for several years. I have taught beginning readers in kindergarten, as well as reading comprehension to older students.I have homeschoole ... read more

I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.
I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.

I have been teaching for over 20 years, both in the traditional classroom and online. My Bachelor’s Degree is in Physics and Math, and my Master’s Degree is in Physics Education. I have taught Physical Science, Physics, Conceptual Physics, Physics Honors and AP Physics as well as Earth Space Science, Algebra, Consumer Math, and Geometry. Helping students learn and be successful has been a natural part of my teaching experience and one of the most rewarding. I have also coached students in special projects including Physics Olympiads where our team won first place.
My teaching style has always been to treat each child the way I would want my own children to be treated. I teach with respect, honesty, humor and patience. I have the experience and ability to quickly assess where a student is in their learning and where they need to be. I like to “show” and “do” whenever possibl ... read more

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Governor's State University in December 1992 with a GPA of 3.9 on a 4.0 scale. My teaching certificate includes K-9 with a concentration in Junior High Math. I have worked with children with special needs, substituted at all grade levels, and instructed students in math at the Junior High level. I became a math coach for grades 7-8 math teams, initiated a Peer Mediation Group, started a Consumer Math class, and supervised a student teacher. I am presently working with Pre-school age children at my church.
I enjoy helping students to get involved in their studies by using hands on manipulatives, games, and real life situations. I believe the role of the teacher is to be a facilitator for her students. She needs to support, promote, recruit, encourage, model, and explain. My goals are to create an environment co ... read more

I have a MA in Psychology from Concordia University. My BS in Human Development & Family Studies with a minor in Psychology is from Penn State University. I am currently taking Medical Coding and Billing classes on-line. I have over 15 years experience working with children in all settings (mental health, teaching, tutoring, volunteering etc.).
It truly does take a village to raise a child as the saying goes. I have been able to make many positive differences in many childrens lives by tutoring, volulnteering and working with them. I am able to teach in a variety of ways, which as most people know, everyone learns differently. Some people are visual learners, meaning they learn better through the written word. While others are auditory (listening) or kinesthetic (learn by doing). I believe that I can provide the best education possible by teaching in a variety of ways while ma ... read more

I am a senior at the University of Central Florida. I go to school at a regional campus in Leesburg to stay close to home. I am in my internship right now and I will be teaching by this time next year. My passion for children started when I was sixteen. I worked at an after school program where I tutored elementary aged children. I knew from then on that I wanted to become an educator. I currently have my AA in elementary education and will be receiving my BA in the spring of 2010. When I graduate I will be ESOL endorsed and reading endorsed. The areas of tutoring for me are reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science for grades K-5.
I love working with children, they are my passion. I believe that every child has the ability to learn. The key to making this happen is by finding their style of learning, by doing this each child will live up to their learning potential ... read more

My BA degree is in Business Administration. I worked as an accountant and a paralegal before becoming certfied to teach. I have strong math skills and am currently tutoring a freshman in Algebra. My Florida certification covers grades K-6. As a kindergarten teacher, I was one of two teachers out of eight that was able to get my entire class on grade level by midyear according to the DIBELS standards. My experience as a paralegal focused on my writing skills. I was often consulted for my grammar and vocabulary knowledge.
I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the re ... read more

I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to verbal teaching, while others prefer visual teaching, or others like to interact with their environment (the hands on approach). Each child has their own language. I believe that a teacher must do whatever is necessary to reach the student so that he can learn. Learning should be fun and enjoyable! I love seeing a child understand a new concept; it is like learning all over again. Today, few students and for that matter parents enjoy mathematics. Mathematics would best be taught by those who love it so they can pass their love of the subject onto their students.
Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the r ... read more

Work well with accomidating others in the different learning styles. Having a hard time explaining to teachers and professors about their teaching approach made me aware of the situation. I love to teach others how to long for self motivation. I believe that anyone can learn as much as they would like if they think positive and continue to focus.
I obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Language Pathology, I worked very hard to receive my B.A in a field I enjoyed learning. I also hold an Exceptional Student Education Certification K-12. I have experience with exceptional education and mainstream students. I contain many years of experience working individually with students to achieve their educational goals.

More About This Tutor...

I earned my Bachelors of Arts degree while working full time. I also continued to pursue employment that enabled me to work on my own. I have tutored not only my child to become an A/B student but also worked with another student, voluntarily, who was struggling in school. In today's work environment whether you strive to go to college or become a tradesperson your ability to learn is paramount. Having a tutor or coach to assist the student can be a rewarding experience for the student as well as the teacher.
I love the learning process and the excitement of success. I believe that not all students learn the same way and am commited to finding the connection that will make the child that I tutor successful. I live for the "ah ha" moment when we both realize that the information has been learned and retained.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked as a School Social Worker for the Lake County Schools Student Services Department for the past 10 years. Through this job I have had experience with students from Pre-K through high school. I have also been a homebound instructor through the Lake County Schools for elementary school students. I was responsible for all subject areas. I worked my way through college and tutoring was one of my main jobs. This was with both elementary and middle school age students. I tutored the students primarily in the subjects of English, Language Arts, and Math.
While I am not in the classroom full time, I enjoy working with students and their families. I like to provide hands on opportunities for learning whenever possible. I believe that childern learn differently and it is important to find what motivates children. It is also important to engage the family in the lear ... read more
