A Little Bit About Me...

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 have 10+ years experience helping ESL students prepare for the TOEFL and IELTS. Beyond exam preparation I also instill unique lessons and rules of the English language to help students better grasp the skills it takes to function in the daily demand academically and socially of being a non native speaker.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.
I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.

More About This Tutor...

Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the related fields of accounting, computers, and engineering). My college education at Purdue University was interrupted due to financial reasons, but I returned to Lake-Sumter Community College at night while working full time and earned an AA degree. I know how important education is! I believe I am a natural teacher when it comes to mathematics and related fields - I helped my fellow students in high school during study halls, tutored through the National Honor Society, was my son’s private tutor, and assist my co-workers with their accounting and computer skills.
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 v ... read more

A 2008 graduate of Florida Southern College, I have spent much of my time studying teaching and eucation. I have earned a bachelors degree in Special Education, which has shown me the many different ways people learn, and ways to best work with those with different learning styles. I have spent four years tutoring elementary age students in a variety of subjects.
I believe that each person has value and carry specific gifts to contribute to their community. As a teacher, I think it is part of my job to help each student to believe in themselves, and to believe that they are valuable. It is up to me to provide an atmosphere in which the student feels secure and appreciated enough to be open to what they are learning. My goal is to create a warm and caring environment in which a student can do his or her best.

As a graduate of Florida A&M University I have always had a high regard for education. In earning a Bachelor's degree in Social Work I have gained a deeper understanding of the needs of people. In addition, I have been able to enhance my grammatical and reading skills with each research paper I've written. During the last eleven years I have worked with at-risk youth helping them to develop their social and professional development skills. I'm also a mentor.
I love working with the youth and have done so for the last eleven years. While working with at-risk youth I've always had the belief that every child has the ability to learn, just in different ways. I believe in the three learning styles; Visual (sight), Auditory (hearing), and Kinesthetic (moving.) Once you can pin-point a child's learning style, the sky is the limit to what they can achieve. I've always done my bes ... read more

My teacher style is to first identify the specific area the student is struggling with. I help the students develop skills to better tackle the area. I believe in presenting the material in several different ways until the student understands it. I work hard to make learning a positive, fun and encouraging experience.
I am currently a School Psychologist for the school system. My job is to help identify students who have learning problems and develop interventions to target these problem areas. Since I have summers off, I usually work as a teacher/tutor. I absolutely love working with children on a one-to-one basis. I have experience working with students in Elementary School through College.

After graduating from Teachers College and also earning a bachelor's degree in sociology, teaching at the elementary level I desired to further my education in an area where I could better assist students to be successful. I have since earned an M. Ed in Special Education and Ed. S. in Educational Leadership. I have over 30 years of excellent teaching record at all levels - K-12. I have taught English, Math, and Social Science for most of my teaching career. During the last seven years I have worked as a Lake County instructional leader supporting both teachers and students. I am currently working with the students in the lower quartile to ensure success. I tutor, provide study and organizational skills where necessary.
I believe that all children can learn, maybe "not in the same way or on the same day" but at their own pace and to their learning style. Therefore I endeavor to tea ... read more

During the last fourteen years, I have made it my goal to read about two books per week. During this period, I have taught myself the computer, trained students in a variety of subjects, and home educated three children. It has been my privilege to work with a number of students, encouraging them in their learning and helping them to build up their basic skills. Tutoring continues to be one of my favorite tasks, and I hope to continue in this career field indefinitely.
Through attention to the basics while keeping the atmosphere light, I am able to help children find their way to academic success. By encouraging the children to talk about their favorite subjects, I am able to tailor each session to their individual tastes. This has allowed my students to attain a high level of productivity in the time allotted to our tutoring sessions. As a skilled writer, I find that even the leas ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 conducive to learning, make learning fun, and help to build self-confidence and self-esteem in my students. Each student's progress needs to be continually assessed to further guide the student while challenging and motivating him/her to succeed. I know that given the time and the assistance needed, anyone can learn. The time invested in our children is such a wise investment because our children of today are tomorrow's future.

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Florida State University with a degree in Child Development, I purchased, managed, and ran a sports-education program for preschoolers. I created all lesson plans and designed individual teaching programs for 2-6 years olds. During that time I also received my certification in K-6, as well as Athletic Coaching. I was a substitute teacher at a prominent private school in Orlando, and have worked as a tutor with various children and families in the Orlando area. My tutoring/teaching experience is with children aged Pre K-6th grade, however, I have Language Arts/English/Grammar expertise due to my other work experiences.
My teaching philosophy is to be kind, considerate, and respectful to each student and caregiver I encounter. I aim to teach students with respect by listening to their needs, giving them time to express their feelings, and allowing positive ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students and encouraging them to do their best. I am patient and understanding, and will work with your child's strengths in order to help them overcome their weaknesses. I enjoy all ages of students, as I believe that one should never stop learning. Therefore, I am willing to work with children of all ages and adult learners as well.
As an undergraduate at Temple University, I developed a love of the written word, in both its simple meaning and its esoteric meaning. I have a passion for interpreting both poetry and prose, as well as helping students learn new vocabulary. As a parent, I have fostered my love of reading with my children which has promoted their learning in other areas as well. I believe that with reading comprehension comes more opportunity to learn in subject areas beyond English.

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching since I was seventeen years old. When I was a teenager in the island of Jamaica, I had very few available opportunities, so after a one year youth service volunteer pogram in a pre-school and kindergarten, I opened my own pre-school to service the children in my community. After migrating to the United States, I taught at a number of pre-schools. I later began working in the mental health field, and for the past 12 years, I have been committed to counseling and mentoring children. I also volunteer my time to teach Sunday school, and more recently began a volunteer reading program at a local commmunity center. For the past five years, I have also taught adult learners seeking a seminary education.
I enjoy working with children. I believe that all children have their own hidden potential and need the right kind of motivation to inspire them to be the best they ca ... read more
