My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own. I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges.

I have always approached a teaching lesson as a learning opportunity. Learning is a fundamental skill. If you don't have your basic fundamentals, your student will have difficulty advancing. So, I always start with basic fundamentals such as; note taking, study skills, and comprehension! All sciences demand the ability to link concepts together. Ex. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems,etc.....! By understanding the make-up of cellular structures and relating that to tissue functions the students can fully understand a subject. This proves true with all subjects. By impowering the student with good base fundamentals, my students find it easier to link concepts together. 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

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band.

I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything.

Every student has strengths and weaknesses, and these should be determined for efficient tutoring. I believe in helping the student to learn and making sure they have the knowledge and help to understand the material themselves. I have eight years of tutoring experience for students ranging from second grade to high school seniors. This tutoring has been in a variety of topics, from elementary phonics to high school geometry to handwriting. I have also had experience in tutoring for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and FCAT.

I have attended private schools for my entire educational career except for the last few months of high school. I was raised to believe that education is one of the most important things one can attain for oneself. As an Early Admissions student, I was accepted to a private liberal arts college as a senior in high school. I always took classes full-time while working part time jobs and maintaining my Academic, Community Service, and Legacy scholarships. I never missed an opportunity to take classes over the summers. This helped accelerate me to graduate with a BA in Communications and a minor in Spanish by the age of 20. I speak Spanish fluently and I've earned several awards in writing and the fine arts. I have tutored students in several subjects including Spanish, English, Math, and Communications. I love kids and I'm definitely looking forward to the time when I will have some

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 flexible and creative. 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

I subscribe to a comprehensive overview initially to provide a basic structural outline of course content and criteria for learning goals. Students can then "fill in" this overview outline as new content is introduced, with open discussion and query to gain additional insights. Daily affirmation of progress with focused discussion addressing areas of needing improvement to keep engaged with consistent monitoring. Assessments should be brief with subsequent feedback soon after testing. Keeping within the overview outline while working each course section will serve to assist in learning comprehension and retention while developing a long term knowledge of the overall course curriculum. At Miami Dade College ADA services, I tutored learning disabled college students in areas of algebra, social sciences, biology, English writing and comprehension for (2) years.

I love teaching and working with students. As a teacher, I create an atmosphere that encourages the student to explore and rewards the student for his success. I am strong believer that the student learns best through discovery. All students can reach their potential if given the appropriate guidance and encouragement. One good educator can provide the positive influence to make a world a difference in a student's career. I work well with all levels of students and, I provide a teacher/student relationship that allows for self-discovery in a comfortable and rewarding yet demanding atmosphere. I am a former high school math teacher. I have taught and tutored in all math levels ranging from Basic Math to Calculus. I graduated from Faulkner University with a B.A. in Math while also taking classes in Music and participating heavily in Theater. This well rounded education led me to not only t

I prepare lesson plans for each lesson so that you as a parent will see what we are covering, and I constantly monitor the student for understanding. I strongly believe I can help your child not only do better in their studies, but also believe in their own abilities. Everyone can succeed with hard work and patience! As an Ivy League graduate, I studied many different fields, including Economics, Sociology, Literature and Visual Art. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school class and scored a 2340/2400 on my SATs (800 Verbal, 800 Writing, 740 Math), as well as 800s on my French SAT II and Math IIC. I have tutored elementary, middle and high school students before, and greatly enjoy the challenge of communicating difficult material in accessible ways to students.
