Individual & Group Tutoring. Project-Based Enrichment

I have extensive experience as a k-12 and adult teacher of all subjects (excepting advanced math and science) and as a teacher of technology to all ages, including technophobes:) I offer specific subject tutoring, as well as project-based enrichment programs tailored to a student's interest. My experience is wide-ranging. I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

Tutor with Real Life Experience

I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and HS level), HS Chemistry, basic w ... read more

English/Language Arts Tutor

While attending Texas Tech University I was employed by the Marsha Sharp Center for Student Athletes as a tutor and worked with athletes in the following subject areas: English, Spanish, Art History, History, and Political Science. I was also a summer school teacher for a non-profit organization called Shalom Readers and led a classroom of children between 6 and 8 years of age. I was responsible for planning Christian based games and learning activities for them as well as providing them with coursework that covered all basic subject areas. I graduated from Texas Tech cum laude with a degree in English and a double minor in Spanish and Electronic Media and Communications. I come from a family of teachers and hope to gain my certification soon. Please contact me if you are need of tutoring!

More About This Tutor...

For five years I taught swimming lessons. While swimming isnotan academic subject, this experience taught me the essentials of teaching. I worked with a large range of ages, from six months to sixty years. While in college I was a tutor/editor in the writing center all three years. Upon graduation I took two part time jobs tutoring English at elementary and secondary levels, at Knowledge Points of Tampa Bay and Lindamood- Bell learning processes of South Tampa.
I rely heavily on Socratic questioning, to strengthen the students own thinking; my goal is for him/her to not need me. I use symbol and concept imagery language to ensure the student is not simply repeating, but seeing and understanding. Learning, especially at the lower levels, need not be boring, and I enjoy teaching through games, and in counter culture environments such as reading on bean bags or under a tree. I am flex ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that authenticity is the key to relating to people--especically children. Children are drawn to me because they sense my kindness and compassion. Equally important is my belief that evereyone learns differently. There is no right or wrong way to learn. A "slow" learner is not "stupid" or deficient in any way. They just have to be accomodating in an alternative manner. I believe that a teacher must adapt to the child's style of learning. Demonstrating to a child that you believe in them can be the most powerful teaching tool there is.
I have always been a creative thinker. This lead me to have a variety of career choices and intrests. I have a bachelor degree in communications, and will have my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling in the fall of 2010. I also have been published in the Chicago Tribune in the Women's section on two occasions. I have also honed my w ... read more

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 ... read more

My technology training has allowed me to enjoy life in the corporate world and I have been blessed with being able to teach whenever I had the opportunity. I have taught Software Applications, Internet Technology and Work Skills to many teenagers, local business men and women and senior citizens attending local outreach programs. I have always taught in my local Adult Education programs where available. I teach for pay or as a volunteer. I enjoy my work that much.
I call myself an "edutainer." I dress very well and I'm very, very funny. When I began teaching Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Internet skills to senior citizens at Brevard Community College, the directors were concerned that my students needed lots of breaks to go to the bathroom, etc. In actuality, none of my students ever leaves the room. They think they'll "miss" something. In act, we have to usher them ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies with who I am working with. With my high school students, I will introduce a new lesson or concept, model how to comprehend it, work with them on a few examples, and then allow them independent practice to work alone. With my GED Prep classes, I tend to let each student work at his own pace and I’m available for questions and clarifications. I can adapt to whatever my students need. I like to do a lot of hands on activities and graphic organizers incorporated into lecture and note taking. I also always try to incorporate high interest material to keep my students engaged.
I’m certified to teach English 6-12, Social Studies 6-12, Reading K-12, and currently working on my ESE endorsement. I am used to teaching in a multi-comprehension level atmosphere and therefore able to adapt and modify lessons to fit the need of each student regardless of what underst ... read more

For the past 4 years I have taught children (infant-5 years) developmental skills and early childhood education. I earned my CDA while I was the teachers aid for the VPK progam at Eau Gallie High School. I also worked at Pinecrest Academy where I taught 1-2 year olds developmental skills. Currently, I am working for a family, teaching their four children basic childhood education. I will have my AA this May and I plan to obtain my BA in Communications with a minor in Journalism. I write on the Citizens Advisory Panel for the Florida Today.
I love teaching children and young adults. I understand how to connect with people on a level on which they feel comfortable. I take the time to get to know the children so that I can teach them in the ways that will best suit them. I tend to be a creative teacher - I enjoy hands-on activities. I love writing and I believe it is an essential part ... read more

As an avid tutor I was required to follow the avid tutoring format. Before I joined the program I was unaware of what exactly this entailed. The avid program suggests groups of 5-7 students gather around a table with the avid tutor being placed at the head of the table. My job is not to tutor, but to rather facilitate the learning as students take turns proposing a tutorial question. This proved difficult because several instances I felt the need to "break" the rules in order to truly help a student. From this experience I gained my own "style" of teaching, and it is one that caters to individual needs and individual personalities in order to relate to students on a more personal level.
As a recent college graduate from the University of Central Florida I know what it takes to face a difficult situation and make the best of it. My first two years at a local community college were ... read more
