At my undergraduate program, my professor for a course in Symbolic Logic asked to refer students in the class to me, if they had questions about the material. After the class had finished, the professor hired me through the university's Philosophy Department as a tutor for the same class. After graduation, I acted as a private tutor in my spare time. At Columbia University I was a Teaching Assistant for three college courses, giving me my greatest experience with explaining course material to a large group of students. I am currently working as a private tutor, with most of my clients learning college-level intermediate Algebra or Symbolic Logic. I love to interact with somebody who is curious and interested in the subject, no matter what the subject. In mathematics, I believe in a very thorough and conceptual understanding of the subject, which enhances one's ability to use the kno

I believe that all students can achieve academic success. First, we will discover what type of learner your child is. Auditory? Visual? Hands on? Once established, the next step is to eliminate negative mindsets associated with the subject matter. Does your child hate reading or writing? We'll find out why, and retrain his/her attitude to find a level of tolerance and, eventually, success. Thirdly, we will work hard to achieve our set goals. Hard work doesn't have to be dull, and a good sense of humor helps me to develop creative, individualized assignments. Tutoring shouldn't be punishment for poor academic results; tutoring should be an asset. After graduating with a BA in Literature/English and minoring in Secondary Education, I went on to teach Grammar, Composition and Literature to grades 8 through 12. I also taught Creative Writing and Composition to a repeating tenth gr

I love seeing students discover that they have learned something new. I believe all children can learn and my responsibility as a teacher is to help each one find his or her unique way of learning. I will set high standards for your child's learning outcomes but my expectations will be matched by my patience and willingness to work on his or her special needs. I am a firm believer in discovery and experiential learning to cement concepts that have to be understood. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate tools and learning experiences. I strive to work with the significant persons in a child's environment to develop the most effective ways of ensuring results. I have a distinguished record as an educator and recently completed a stint teaching Language Arts at a high school in Port St. Lucie. I have been successful as a high school teacher, trai

I have been a full-time certified Florida mediator in family and circuit civil cases since 1988. I meet with people who are divorcing or otherwise suing each other and persuade them, if I can, to settle their differences. Since the collapse of the housing market in Florida, and the elimination of home equity from which people financed mediation, the business has contracted substantially. While being a mediator for 22 years, it was my responsibility to tutor and mentor for people trying to become mediators. I spent several hours a month through my career doing such work. My writing background as a lawyer gives me an excellent basis to use with high school students working on their writing and research skills. I enjoy teaching and working with teenagers. My work as a mediator was essentially a teaching process about the nature of mediation and what it could provide to people in litig

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and interacting with all children. I believe that every child can learn when placed in an environment conducive for learning.

I graduated with my degree in English, but I gained all of my experience through the constant observation of my mother's 20 plus years of teaching. I had first hand knowledge of her teaching styles during the 4th and 5th grade. I have adopted her styles and use it daily while I've been a teachers assistant at Project Rock South, Inc. The kids there respond to my playful yet firm style of teaching because they realize that I'm approachable and there to help them. I have learned many ways to talk to and listen to kids. I enjoy helping kids understand. I love being able to be that intermediate person that a child can come to when they know they need assistance. I'm extremely patient with children and I love to help.

In the past three years, I have gained a great deal of experience in the subject areas of English and Exceptional Student Education. My professional development trainings have increased my skills in teaching reading, writing, and grammar. For example, I use 6+1 Writing Traits to assist my students in writing and I also incorporate the Reciprocal Teaching strategies to improve their reading comprehension. During the past three years, I have also tutored high school students in a Credit Retrieval program in the area of English. I am familiar with at-home tutoring programs because this year I tutored a middle school student who was in the Hospital/Homebound program because he was temporarily disabled and could not attend school. My teaching style is eclectic in order to meet the variety of needs of my students. The knowledge I have gained through my professional development about differenti

I love working with all children and teaching them. Children are the future of tomorrow and someone took the time to teach me as such I believe that I should take the time also to impart my knowledge to others. Every child is different and learn in a different way but every child can learn. I am available to help your child find academic success. I believe in success and I am patient, caring, and honest. My goal is to provide the best education possible. Children are our future leaders, doctors and teachers and I believe that every child can be an asset and if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences they can achieve their goals.

I graduated with my BS in CSD and am now going for my Master's. I have worked with children of all ages specifically in literacy, writing, and speech. I am comfortable teaching up to and including Algebra,any history, and elementary school science. I don't just want to regurgitate information to a student; I want them to learn. I allow them to try to complete and assignment, and if they ask questions, I think of the child's learning style. How they learn affects how I explain it to them or how I show them. If they are having trouble understanding, i will model their question and answer it correctly. I will ten ask them the differences between the two. I am very patient, easygoing, and I give praise often.

I believe in the potential of every child and am committed to their academic achievement. Through my work with children and adults with disabilities, I have learned patience and understanding; qualities that I believe make me a strong educator. I believe in modeling a learning curriculum to meet the specific needs of a child and pride myself on finding novel ways to make education fun and interesting. The best part of education, to me, is the opportunity that lies in every learning experience. Throughout my educational career, I have gained a strong foundation of knowledge in various disciplines. I hold a BA in Psychology and have also completed pre-medical requirements during my time as an undergraduate. My liberal arts background has led me to develop extensive reading, writing, and analytical skills. These skills are complemented by a solid understanding of mathematics and scienc

I have had the opportunity to work as a house mother at a home for at-risk teenage girls. I have also taught tenth and seventh grades English and history. I enjoy working with students one-on-one after school hours and learning how to develop their potential. I love incorporating my personality in my classroom. I often find that students are engaged and grasp concepts when I link them to real-life experiences. My sharing how I connect with the information also helps the students to establish a healthy connection with me. I believe in finding out where students are and encouraging them to reach their full potential. My "favorite" students from the past two years were the students that other teachers discarded and had given up on. These students thanked me with tears at the end of the year for taking the time to nurture them. That made the entire year a success!
