A Little Bit About Me...

I like to assess my students and then come up with a plan that uses their strengths and interests to help them achieve their academic and social goals. Before you can teach a child you need to understand their temperament and gain their trust. I believe all children want to learn and can learn when the materials are presented in their learning style. I will use whatever it takes to reach a student; manipulatives, music, movement. My teaching style is very flexible and I will adjust my lesson to suit the student.
I worked as a pre-school teacher for 5 1/2 years. During my last year I trained with Dr. Donald Lyman and developed a program for PK through 1st grade,and ran an after school tutoring program. I was so impressed with the results that I went to work for Dr. Lyman for the next nine years. For the first 5 years I worked with students 1-12 grade teaching all core subject ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently the Math Coach at a local Middle School. I have been in the educational field for thirteen years as a math teacher. I have taught mathematics on the high school level and the middle school level. I have prepared students for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and I have had great sucess helping students achieve passing scores on this test. I have tutored students in basic math up to algebra 1 and geometry.
I am a teacher that teaches by showing examples and explaining. I encourage my students to ask questions and I don't mind going over a problem again and again until a student gets the full understanding of what is being asked. I want my students to feel comfortable enough to ask me questions, because that is how they learn.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom.
As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT.

More About This Tutor...

Getting to know each of my students as an individual is the first step in my tutoring process. Seeing the world through his or her eyes helps me to connect the learning to the student's own paradigm or viewpoint. In my education courses, I learned the technical terms for what I've always known -- when a student can feel part of the process, he or she is well on the way to understanding. My students become part of the process, and as a rule, my students learn.
A love of learning has always been my trademark. As a child, I came home excited after school every day, eager to share what I'd learned. Yet, when I found myself hitting a wall in math a few times, I learned what it was to fear school. My goal as a tutor is to move a student past that challenge so he or she can view learning as a fun, exciting experience. With patience and encouragement, I believe everyone can feel this way.

I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students needs are, and because it is based on the different students I am blessed with each term my style is constantly evolving and changing. I feel that I do make a difference in the lives of the children I teach because of my drive and willingness to go the extra mile for each one of my students. Watching my student grow is the greatest gift as an educator and one of the reasons I continue to teach.

During 2005-2007 I participated as a Dual Language Elementary teacher (Spanish-English) at Palm Beach County's School District, FL. I served as a second grade teacher for the first school year and as a fourth grade teacher for the second period. In this innovative program I was in charge of two different groups of children who were completely immersed in Spanish during half of the teaching contact hours. For the 2008-2009, I participated as a Dual Language Teacher (Math and Science). I worked concurrently for 5th and 6th graders at a Charter School in Colorado. Since 2010, I've been an independent Tutor under the No Child Left Behind act, serving students of Polk and Hillsborough Counties in Florida.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher, I utilize many teaching styles as one style is not universal or may not fit all teachers. Anchored Instruction learning allows students to experience real world dilemmas while using critical thinking to problem solve their situation. Another teaching style and my favorite is Cooperative Learning which involves students in collaborative or team-based tasks such as group problem solving, and paper writing, projects. Cooperative learning is relevant for any discipline. C L is valuable for promoting collaborative effort, reasoning and critical thinking among our students.
As a bilingual professional, I am confident in my ability in teaching.

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.
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 nee ... read more

I have taught English/Language Arts for approximately 10 years, from 6th grade level through Freshman College. My strengths are in reading, writing instruction and vocabulary development. I have also tutored for SAT/ACT and FCAT prep. My goal with each student is to determine where their particular hurdles lie and tailor an appropriate and effective strategy to surmount them.
Tutoring provides the opportunity to teach in a way the traditional classroom rarely can; that precious one on one attention to a particular student's individual learning style, strengths and stumbling blocks. Often, a student's success depends less upon who their tutor is, than simply having a tutor at all. My experience with very academically challenged students has demonstrated that I seem to have a knack for finding the "sweet spot" that turns on the lights. Tutoring lets you know every day that you'r ... read more

I have dedicated my life to working with children from kindergarten to the college level. It is my belief that all students can learn if provided the tools to do so. The key to their learning is embedded in the way in which their specific learning needs are met. I believe in active participation by students through the use of hands on activities that allow for discovery and a constructive approach to learning. I am very easy going and patient but at the same time expect and encourage students to reach their fullest potential and to utilize what they have learned to critical think and apply what they have learned in new and different situations. I want students to seek their very best.
