I am a patient, conscientious and dedicated mentor who is skilled at helping struggling students to become successful and good students to excel.

I will help nurture an atmosphere conducive to effective study and help you with your organizational skills if needed, so that your time on your own will be more productive. As a tutor I care about your progress and will work hard to help you with whatever you need.

I enjoy teaching. I find teaching methods that will be creative so my students are encouraged to learn. All my students learn at a different level. I provide alot of hands on teaching, which helps to motivate students. Each student has a unique way of learning, they are provided, with visuals, manipulatives, verbal prompts in order to learn the lesson being taught. Each student is on a different level, which means I need to provide individual learning techniques for each student while providing special accomodations for them. I have been teaching children with special needs for about 15 years I am also an ABA therapist/ Shadow. Presently I am teaching primary grades with ESE students with Autism, LD, ADHD and Behaviors. I also teach Art to students in grades K--12th. Drawing, painting, Holiday crafts, wire sculpting. I provide simple and creative lessons for the students.

I believe patience and attention are the key to good tutoring. I approach each problem slowly and carefully with the student. I pay attention to my students' academic strengths and weaknesses as well as their other interests and needs. I also try to incorporate the student’s extracurricular interests into the lesson plan. I encourage the excitement learning has to offer and the doors which newfound knowledge can open. I have always had a passion for learning, especially reading and writing. In the highly competitive environment of Yale University, I developed excellent studying techniques. As a history major, I learned upper level skills in analytical reading and writing. From peer tutoring in high school to my present work with elementary students I have tutored students of all ages and abilities in a variety of subjects including SAT/ACT prep, study skills, basic reading, writin

As a graduate of UC Berkeley and as someone who has lived and traveled through most of Latin America, I feel I have a strong connection with the local population. I have taught 9th, 11th, and 12th graders at Miami Beach High School in addition to after school tutoring. I feel I have definitely proved myself as an effective educator and have a passion for helping students succeed. After having several jobs in the private sector, I am thrilled with my new career as an educator. Every student has their own learning style and their own "gift." I try to tap into my student's interests and talents to make them feel like they can achieve academically and on a personal level.

While working on my Masters, I have been a graduate teaching assistant for the past two years. I have taught public speaking and film appreciation. In addition, I have tutored students in both creative and business writing. My degree is in Communication with a minor in English and each course requires a paper of at least twenty pages. I have also had several articles published in the University's newspaper and my first screenplay was selected from a school wide competition and made into a short film. I love helping students find their own voice and talents. I believe effective writing and communication skills to be the cornerstones of any successful educational process. I think students benefit from my teaching style as I encourage creative and individual thinking. There is no greater feeling than watching a student grow and reach new heights.

I prefer to focus on a child's strengths, even while teaching a subject that may be considered the child's weakest. I believe finding and integrating strengths promotes learning because it creates positive attitudes and a more productive learning environment. While understanding certain systems or theories is necessary, I think it is sometimes easier for a child to grasp challenging material when they see plenty of examples of the theory at work. As a recent graduate, with seven years experience writing in a professional environment, I excel at writing and editing because I understand the system of language, and I pay close attention to detail. I have nearly five years experience working with children in a structured environment, in addition to working with children of various ages as a summer camp counselor. I also hold a certificate with significant training in teaching English to

I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of different capacities. This enabled me to adapt to different styles of learning and develop a set of initiatives designed specifically for the child I am working with. I enjoy challenges and the opportunity to work with children who are at-risk. Additionally, students who may require a helping hand designated by a special need are welcomed as well. I use a very holistic approach. I am patient and easily establish rapport with the students I work with. I have worked at a local learning center and am presently working with the Dade County School system. Working with children and adolescents requires extensive experience to empower and motivate success not only in the academic setting, but in life outside of school as well. During my sessions with students, I incorporate and stress the importance of success-driven behaviors, such

I really love children! I believe that there is no such thing as a bad student; simply a student who has not found his style of learning. I am patient, understanding, and flexible, but I am also firm and able to redirect even the most wandering attention span. I try to make learning as fun as possible and will always try to combine a lesson with a real-life example to make each experience as accessible as possible. As a student at the University of Florida, diversity has always been a highly sought after attribute. I majored in English, but I also took extensive courses in Literary Film and both Hebrew and Hebrew Literature. Though my major offered a specialization in American Literature, I chose to expand my scholarship to include a broad spectrum of British, Israeli, and American Literature as well as Literary Theory. I have extensive writing and editing skills due to numerous es

In the last two years of college, I have become an expert on studying, critical thinking, and interpreting scholarly material. I have been equipped with knowledge in the field of science, language, communication, writing, sociology, psychology, and English. I had the privilege of graduating cum laude along with a number of other honors for my excellence in education. For the past year I have worked with autistic adults and children, teaching and tutoring them. Teaching in the field of autism has taught me that every child is unique in a variety of ways. Every person understands, interprets, and learns differently. My love of teaching brings me great satisfaction when I am able to help a child comprehend and understand by rewording or teaching in a manner that they can grasp. I strive to prepare children for future learning by first conquering the building blocks of basic academics

A great portion of my college experience was spent studying methods of learning in both humans and animals. I found that showing individuals the importance of what they learned as well as aiding them in integrating old information best conveyed and solidified their new ideas. I also acknowledged that a friendly, easygoing environment fostered quicker growth than a strict and punitive one. I like my students to feel comfortable making mistakes so that they can appreciate their errors and grow from them. My teaching style is persistent yet patient, humorous yet serious, and simple yet challenging. In the end, I hope to correct previous misinformation in order to guide students towards the right direction of new knowledge. Since high school, I have been actively pursuing opportunities to teach individuals new skills. I started off in 1999 as a math tutor for an honor society and moved on to

Determined to become a teacher,immediately after I graduated from the University of Central Florida, I started searching for teaching positions. I got hired in an alternative education setting.

I am a life long learner and as such I am a life long teacher. Because I love learning, I instill the love of learning in all of my students. My goal is to take children from where they are academically and with strategies, encouragement, and enthusiasm, bring them to their potential. All children can learn but not in the same way or in the same amount of time. My goal is to find a student's strengths and provide the scaffolding to develop his/her learning style, confidence, and academic improvement. I am a recently retired educator from Massachusetts. I have spent most of my career in the classroom but have been fortunate enough to have taught all age groups. My last few years in education were spent as a literacy coach and Director of Elementary Education. It was during this time that I wrote and received an NCLB grant for Reading First.
