Special Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lorida, FL

I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i

I believe that children can learn in many different ways. I am constantly researching different ways and techniques I can use in the classroom to better assist each student. I try to mix traditional teaching methods with fun games, facts, and activities that help to engage the learner. I have been told by many of my students that they still do not like English, but they love having me as their English teacher. English has always been my best subject. It was natural for me to major in English Education when I decided to go back to college. I believe that when I teach English, I make it fun but most importantly, understandable. I love reading and reviewing the different genres that this subject covers, especially short stories and novels. I have taken several workshops to help improve my ablility to teach writing and to help students prepare for the FCAT Writing Exam. However, my l

I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and whole group studious conditions. At all academic levels at Elmira College, I helped students to succeed at their scholarly endeavors. As a parent, I guided own daughters to be successful learners. This makes me an excellent candidate to help the next generation to be set on the pathway to thrive in their life vision. My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies

Teaching is not only an honor but it is the best job I could ask for. I love watching my students grow and learn by discovery and application. All children are different and have various learning styles. It is my job to design and implement a plan in order to meet my students needs. Learning can be fun and it is important to tap into that knowledge each child possesses by making it enjoyable for them. Being hands on and visual makes a world of difference when introducing new and existing ideas. It is my job to get children excited about learning and shape their lives by being patient, understanding, and hard workig. Learning is not only important but it is a gift that enables you to reach beyond your boundaries.

I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of need. I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need.

Over the years of my tutoring children, I have developed a certain way of approaching all my students. I believe that every child is unique and learns in a certain way. So when I first meet my student, I evaluate their favorite way of learning and the goals they and their parents want to achieve. Then I develop a easy to follow learning agenda that we will follow. Then I use multiple ways of teaching from using reading, writing, multiple examples, repetition, visuals, drawing, and flashcards. Throughout my students learning experience, I always make sure they are having fun while they are learning, so it's an education and fun experience for all my students. I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin, and had a very successful experience at college and grew through knowledge and great classes.
