Before earning my BA in Communication Sciences and Disorders I began my college career as an Education major. I completed volunteer courses in “Brevard Reads” “Rolling Readers” and completed over 150 volunteer hours in Brevard schools while in the major. In small groups we went over elementary math skills, science, social studies, and reading. During my 2009 semester I volunteered as a teaching assistant in a Montessori school for children with Dyslexia and various reading difficulties. There, we used the very successful “LiPS” program to work on reading, vocabulary, spelling, and phonemic awareness in hands on ways that targeted different learning styles. Since I myself did not learn the same way as other kids when I was a child, I find that it is easy for me to relate to my students. The best thing a teacher or tutor can do is listen and be patient. Every child can learn, it’s ju

Every individual is different and understands things in different ways. Some learners are what I call “Book Learners” who learn well by reading books and theories taught in them while others learn much easier by hands on learning. “Hands on Learners” tend to retain more knowledge if the task or information to be learned is explained in situations that they deal with in everyday experiences. Having training and teaching experience in both the business world and in the culinary field, I am able to combine the techniques of these two types of learners to help students retain the most knowledge and be successful. My background includes experience in restaurant training, program development, implementation, employee and student supervision, leadership as a Divisional Trainer, Culinary Program Coordinator, Instructor and Certified Executive Chef.

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 science. Over the past year, I have tutored students in reading, math, and science. 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 o

Very hands on type of person. I am the type of person that needs visual reminders to get my work done. I know that everyone learns in different capacities so I try to incorporate that into my teaching style. I work on identifying the students learning style and then we go from there. I am currently working at Challenger 7 Elementary School as the only Guidance Counselor. I have created a study group club with students that need study skills, organizational skills or assistance getting their work done! I have been employed as a substitute teacher and mental health counselor in the past. I enjoy working with students because a lot of their stress is due to frustration of not knowing a concept. If you work with the students on their frustration you begin to see improvement in their grades!

I have a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Natural Science and a Minor in Public Health. I worked for USF Housing and Residential Education. I also was a Peer Leader for Chemistry where I was basically a Teaching Assistant and led two sections by myself. I like the child to feel comfortable with me to where they are at ease and readily ask questions. I prefer to ask the student leading questions to aide them in coming to the conclusion on their own as opposed to simply telling them information. After a few questions have been answered then I am able to help them with the details of problem and a help them build a method for solving similar problems in the future.

Since earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University, I taught English, Drama and Journalism in Texas and in New Jersey for several years, after which I spent another 10 years tutoring students from kindergarten through high school in all subjects when they were required to be home from school due to illness or other situations. I subsequently went into the corporate world and trained adults in the use of computer software and other technical needs. I also was a training coordinator at Walt Disney World for several years, which included providing Youth Education Seminars in American History and Literature. Enabling a child to realize his full self-worth is the reward a teacher gets when he is able to work individually with a student and show that child that he can learn whatever he needs to learn. By recognizing the child’s interests and valuing him as a person, I can reach

I love to teach. There is nothing more fulfilling than to see a student succeed who was previously having difficulties in a subject. I believe that patience is the key. I believe that you need to also listen to what the student has to say if they have anything to say at all, then observe while they work to see what works and doesn’t. Each student is different and should be taught as such, which is how I tutor. I also like to get to know the student so that they feel comfortable enough to speak freely especially if they do not understand something. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati majoring in Civil Engineering. While in school, I had two different tutoring jobs. The first job I had was with Mathnasium now known as Lumen Learning Center in West Chester, Ohio. At this job, I taught first grade through Trigonometry. This gave me the experience of working with groups of

I was a music specialist for one semester. It was a great experience that I truly enjoyed. I taught grades K-5. I was responsible for creating my own lesson plans and activities for the 40 minutes of music class. I introduced recorders to the 5th grade. Then I put together a booklet for them to teach themselves how to play more songs. They looked forward to working on this summer project independently. I tutored 5th and a 3rd graders this last year. A fifth grade student of mine was falling behind in her work load and brought home a below average report card during the first quarter of school. After my help her grades climbed to almost the A/B honor roll. Her parents were pleased with her improved grades, attitude, and self concept. I enjoy meeting new students and learning what their individual needs are to better teach them the concepts they need to know. I individualize t

I believe that every student requires a unique form of education and am willing to adapt my teaching style to match their needs, whether they are visual or auditory learners, need to copy down notes by hand to remember conjugations, or prefer memorizing test material by setting it to song. I am patient and thorough and want to help every student discover the joy of speaking a foreign language or learning music. I have earned a BA in French from the University of Florida with a minor in Flute Performance and a concentration in Spanish. As a native English speaker, I understand the difficulties and intricacies of learning a foreign language and have 8 years of experience in learning to speak, read and write in French and Spanish. I studied abroad at La Sorbonne in Paris for a semester and have excelled in literature, linguistics, phonetics, and culture courses. I tutored classmates through

I think in order to truly learn students need to be in control of what they are learning and have as many hands on experiences as possible. It is best to teach students how to learn, so that they continue to be life-long learners. I also believe that students need to be given choices in regards to their learning so that they learn how to make responsible decisions. It is up to me as the teacher to help inspire students to want to learn and help them see the rewards of their work. Each student is different, and it is up to the teacher to figure out what that student needs to be a successful learner. I love using learning strategies and hands-on methods to help students understand difficult material. I have been tutoring students at the Northwest Alachua County Boys and Girls Club, and similar sites, for 4 years. I have received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (k-6) and m

As a first generation college student, I was encouraged by my parents to do succeed in school. They knew that for me to be able to attend college I would have to well in school. While I was pursuing my BA in Art History and Archaeology, I found that I had a knack for encouraging others to strive for excellence. After graduating with my BA, I decided to pursue my MA in Educational Leadership. My master’s program gave me valuable insight into the many hardships faced by today’s students. During the past year, I worked at a private college in Central Florida. I have written numerous research papers and presented various workshops on a variety of academic subjects. I have excellent reading comprehension skills and grammatical skills. I am a firm believer that every person has the right to an education. I am a very patient, laid back educator.
