More About This Tutor...

I believe in interactive teaching, where the student is as involved as the teacher. My satisfaction comes from watching students discover knowledge that they had previously thought unavailable. Every student can learn, and my purpose and goal is to help each student stretch as far as he or she is willing to go.
I have completed all requirements for a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught mathematics, computer applications, life skills, and other subjects at high school and community college levels in Colorado. I have tutored and homeschooled statistics, college algebra, trigonometry, and other mathematics topics, and homeschooled a complete spectrum of high school level topics.

I love teaching others and would be a very positive model for those who have a defeatest attitude in the very beginning. It is my motto "a person can be set up for success or be set up for failure". I choose success for myself and others because even the most minimal achievement can mean a great deal. I believe at different ages children can be inspired to do well with their education.
As a graduate of The Ohio State University I was very driven to assist other individuals whenever I could to complete their education and help them in any way I possibly could. Because I was a non-traditional student have had such great experiences at both the community and university level of education, I am very excited to help others with most subjects to help them succeed. I have a great understanding of English and a great comprehension for many other subjects, as well. I am very well vers ... read more

I believe in developing the early learning skills and experiences critical for a child’s future success in school. Through purposeful play as well as explicit instruction, I provide these eager learners with a strong foundation in early literacy, language, math, and science skills while encouraging personal and social development. My approach to teaching is to get down on the child's level, meaning I am not above getting down on the floor on an eye-to-eye level. This gives the child a level of comfort with which to encourage the love for learning.
Over the last 3 years, I have focused on delivering education to the Early Head Start Program in Alachua County. Now, I serve my children as an Early Head Start teacher with the Suwannee Valley 4C’s in Lake City, FL. Here’s what I can offer: - I am certified in Early Childhood Education; - I am certified as a Child Development Assoc ... read more

I love teaching children using hands-on and interactive techniques. I am also a personal trainer in my spare time so I try to incorporate moving into lessons because I think children work well when they can move around and really apply what they are learning to something they really like to do. I use technology constantly in my teaching and have found that my students really apply themselves more when they enjoy the fun that learning brings!
I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and then received my Master's degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Educational Technology. I have done extensive work in the technology department at our school and continue to work with SMART products teaching other teachers how to use technology in their classrooms.

As a teacher trainer for the past 7 years, I have taught teachers research based instructional strategies to help struggling learners as well as applied these concepts in my own classroom. Although I primarily caught art during my 17 year career, I also was interested in ways to help students learn reading skills. I was a volunteer tutor in the 1997-98 school year for a program called Reading Rescue that used research based strategies to help below grade level readers, taught remedial summer school program one summer, and have many in service hours of CRISS training.
I believe all students can learn but some need explicit strategies to be shown to them. Research shows students who fail often have less background knowledge, remember less, their attention wanders and they lack automaticity, the ability to recall basic facts. I have a tool box full of research proven strategies ... read more

I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the time I do a lot of question/conversation responses to allow them to find the answer for themselves. I like a problem based learning style, even for the youngest of children. I not only want to teach them how to properly concur their learning material but how to find the information they need if they do not know the answer. Additionally, I want them to have fun and enjoy quality time with a supportive mentor and gain an enthusiasm for school.
I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with childre ... read more

I know that I can motivate students to succeed academically. I have always been able to relate to students of all ages. My husband is also a tutor and teacher, and we have helped many students to realize the importance of a good education. We are book collectors and have used our collection to inspire students to love to read. After many years working with the public, I know how to relate to all kinds of people, including those who can be dificult. I am very good in helping students who have negative attitudes about doing their assignments properly and on time. I think students have responded to me so well because they know I care about them. When they do better, it is quite gratifying for both of us.
I am totally dedicated to my career as an educator. My background includes teaching grades 6-12 in public and private schools as well as tutoring high schools students at home a ... read more

I do feel with all my heart that all children can learn as we can and do learn from them. As stated earlier children have multiple intelligences and therefore require multiple teaching styles. I believe in teaching through discovery and in many settings a hands-on approach. I believe all children when provided the opportunity to explore and have different worlds shown to them they too have the potential to achieve academic success. I feel there are educators that can truly make a difference in a child's education and I feel that I am one of them. In summary, because we all learn in different ways I feel multiple teaching styles are necessary for our children of today.

As a Substance Abuse Program Case Manager, I conducted psycho-educational group sessions related to addiction/recovery issues and worked in a juvenile’s detention/commitment program. In adult corrections, I facilitated Addiction Treatment Counseling and Life Skills groups. When I worked in the foster care system, I taught Independent Living Skills to youth who were transitioning out of the system. All of these positions required extensive record-keeping duties and demanded strong writing skills.
I consider myself an empathetic and patient teacher of children and young adults. I believe that all children can learn and that it is incumbent upon the educator to strive to find what motivates the individual to achieve greater heights. To this end, the teacher must be a communicator who appreciates the importance of meeting the pupil wherever he is academically and help him to better und ... read more

I like to motivate my students by providing background knowledge and examples of application in the world outside of textbooks. I think it is important for students to create an emotional experience to ensure that knowledge will be stored. I implore traditional methods, as well as research-based approaches that connect to students audio, visual, or kinesthetic learning styles. I am dedicated and patient and make it my responsibility to find the way each individual student learns and absorbs information.
I have worked in an ESE classroom teaching math and science to 4th and 5th grade students. I have also had many other practicum experiences in schools and have worked with students as a whole group, small group, and individually. I have strong curriculum knowledge, am caring and patient, and love working with students.
