Hearing Impaired Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Merritt Island, FL

Hello, I have been a teacher in central Florida for 6 years. I have always taught at the middle school leve, although my student teaching was done at the High school level. Prior to becoming a teacher I served 5 years in the U.S. Navy. I have also worked with Juinor Acheivement and the Boys and Girls club of America. My belief is in the child. I am extremely patient and loving. The child sets the pace at which we learn and we would not move on to the next subject until the child completely understands the material.

I like to encourage and support my students. Many students don’t want to learn or do not feel they can succeed. When a student is positive and feels that sense of pride; he will open himself up more to the idea of learning. Secondly, I will always do readings and visuals to stimulate both areas of the brain to ensure it is absorbed. I also believe in repetition of information once a student comprehends what has been learned. Lastly, I like to be consistent. I have always kept the learning styles very similar. I also explain to the student what exactly is expected of him and how I will do things so he will be fully aware. This way we are on the same page as to what the teaching session will entail. I have always had a passion for education, whether it is teaching youth or adults. I have gained about 3 additional years of teaching and now am working in a higher education setting. I hold a

I took every math course offered by a 4 year college, student taught for one 6 week session, and took some educational courses. After home educating my 4 children for 17 years, I returned to school to complete an AA degree in liberal arts and a BA degree in sociology. I now work as a math teacher working with children who range in age from 9-17 and have special needs. I never give up on a child or an adult. I recently tutored a law enforcement official to help him understand and pass algebra. He didn't think anyone could help him. The schools told me my son would never learn to read or write. He is my only child out of four who reads lengthy books for pleasure. Everyone has a different style of learning. My teaching methods I alter to suit those needs. I spent three years trying to help my dyslexic son learn to read one sentence. I have patience and I love helping people. I am also

I am a highly motivated individual with a heart and love for teaching others. During high school, I took advanced placement courses in English and Calculus and through these courses I was exposed to a large variety of concepts at varying challenge levels. In AP Calculus, I was able to utilize the foundations of mathematics as well as numerous other concepts. In AP English, I learned everything from classic literature and poems to advanced grammar and writing skills. At the University of Central Florida, I continued to excel in my courses and pursued a major in the legal field when I realized my dreams of going to law school. Through my legal education at Gonzaga Law School, I learned significant skills in proper grammar and writing as a result of the numerous legal research and written legal briefs required of law students and three years of required legal research and writing course

I am a patient and encouraging teacher and believe that all children can learn. I feel it is important to meet children where they are at and grow them to reach their full potential. Since all students learn differently, I believe it is important to be flexible in my teaching methods. If a student is not understanding a concept, it is my job to find new ways to teach that concept until I find a way that clicks for that student. I feel I am especially skilled at taking large abstract concepts such as writing an essay, and breaking it down into small concrete components that any student can follow and learn. Lastly, I feel that organization and study skills play a large role in the academic success of students and must be incorporated into any academic plan for success. As a conscientious and dynamic teacher with 7 years of experience, I have had a great deal of training in a variety

I don't just want to regurgitate information to a student; I want them to learn. I allow them to try to complete and assignment, and if they ask questions, I think of the child's learning style. How they learn affects how I explain it to them or how I show them. If they are having trouble understanding, i will model their question and answer it correctly. I will ten ask them the differences between the two. I am very patient, easygoing, and I give praise often. I graduated with my BS in CSD and am now going for my Master's. I have worked with children of all ages specifically in literacy, writing, and speech. I am comfortable teaching up to and including Algebra,any history, and elementary school science.

As a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a degree in Elementary Education I have been given many opportunities to work with students of all ages. I have taken many different courses to help me learn different learning styles of students and ways to help them. I have been in many different classrooms and have been able to work with students of different levels. I have experience in grades 2-5. I love teaching and helping students learn. I understand that students all learn differently and some may have more difficulty learning certain things. I can relate to many of these students as I struggled in math for a long time. I think this is something that helps me with my teaching because I am able to relate to the students on a different level. I am patient and easy going and understanding. I want students to learn and enjoy learning. The smiles on their faces when they finally

I have been teaching in the homeschool community for about 10 years. I have learn many skills on how to handle different classroom situations. I tautht cross county, physical education, critical thinking skills, sewing, and all the other core courses. I volunteered in a local private school to assist when they would need me. As of this October I started teaching at a local tutoring center. Currently, I am teaching on a "on call basis" at a local college. My philiosphy is to motivate through praise. I believe in speaking words of encouragement to the students. I have seen positive words manifest into good results for the students. I do believe in teaching because as a mother this is one of the skills I know I had to dominate in order assist my own child to become a better citizen. I realize that what one deposits in this young generation we will reap as senior citizens. Therefore

I have always wanted to be a teacher, ever since I was in Kindergarten. Every year I would "take notes" from my classroom teacher and think to myself, "I could do that in my classroom." I have a passion for teaching children. When I see that light bulb hovering above their head, it really makes all the hard work worth it. I am persistent, yet calm during teaching. I stick to the procedures, and let the student find the right path to discovery. I believe that each child wants to learn and grow; they only need to be shown the path to accomplishment. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Central Florida. During college, I tutored a 3rd grade student for one year. Since then, I taught 2nd grade at Heathrow Elementary. I have both tutoring experience and classroom experience. I have volunteered with many different grade levels from Pre-K thr

I have worked in the field of education all my life. Currently I am pursuing a doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction, while teaching courses at a private college. I have tutored college level students in reading and writing skills, but more recently I tutor elementary level students ie. 1st grade. Specifically, I have had a lot of experience with students with learning disabilities. I have also worked in the public schools as well with students with behavioral problems. I enjoy helping students meet their academic goals. I truly believe that students can learn given the proper conditions. Some students learn slower than others so it is important to provide them with the strategies to ensure better chances of success. I try to implement student success strategies throughout any course I teach. For example, showing students how to be organized is a key factor for success. In additi

My background knowledge of speech and language has helped me as an educator in my classroom. I can spot out students having difficulty immediatley and give them the extra help they need to master a skill. I can efficiently change my teaching style to accommodate all learning styles. By teaching kindergarten, third grade, and speech & language it has given me a varying range of teaching experiences. I like to incorporate real world experience as well as hands on teaching. My style of teaching depends on the class I have. I incorporate whole group and small group using many visuals. I also do read and respond with my classroom. For my auditory learners I use cassette tapes and reread instructions and stories. These are just some of the basic things I do in my classroom.
