I have been in the teaching field for 2 years now and I love it. Although I've taught during VBS and other church functions, I have been in the Gadsden County School District for 2 years. I enjoy teaching. It is my passion. I believe that all children can learn with the guided instruction, love, and attention. I have taught in the Elementary filed until the recent budget cuts. I have a temporary certificate that doesn't expire until 2009, but I'm not giving up hope. I only have one more test to take to receive my permanent and I'm not giving up the fight. In the classroom is where I belong! As stated earlier, All children can learn. I believe that all children have different learning abilities and it takes a positive ad patient teacher to notice and react. I am very patient, caring, and supportive.

I am currently a senior at FSU, due to graduate this fall 2010, with a dual major in philosophy, minor in English; and political science, minor in psychology. After I complete my degree I hope to go on to graduate school and law school. Where I intend to focus my research and efforts in the field of civil and social advocacy. I believe that the only way to a better future for humanity is education. Due to the rigorous reading and writing requirements of my studies I have developed excellent skills both in verbal and written communication. For the past several years while I worked to complete my degrees I tutored fellow classmates in the areas of statistics, psychology, English, philosophy, natural sciences and social studies. Having a minor in psychology gives me a unique approach to teaching and dealing with children. I have taken several classes dealing with human cognitive and psycho

Since 1991, I have been tutoring and teaching children in Florida, California and Costa Rica. In addition to being a tutor, I have worked with children in many capacities from after-school program coordinator to curriculum writer and summer camp counselor and instructor. I earned my BA degree from Florida A&M University in Visual Arts and History and my Master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in Dance Ethnography. Instructing my own ten year old daughter has also further enhanced my ability to work one-on-one with individual students. During the last 19 years, I have instructed and tutored students in reading, writing, math, English, Spanish, visual arts, dance, science, history and music appreciation. I deeply enjoy teaching children from all different age groups, cultural, social and economic backgrounds. I believe that patience and working with each child to fin

I believe that the relationship between student and teacher is one between equals, and that each must actively work together in order to accomplish a student's goals. This educational relationship and teaching style is heavily influenced by the Fine Arts and other creative pursuits that also maintains a strong hold on basic concepts in every subject. My role as a tutor, therefore, is to find each student's particular learning style in order to communicate fundamental knowledge in a subject, while also giving them the critical thinking and problem solving skills that will allow them to grow and enlarge their educational experience far beyond any single tutoring session. During my four years as an undergraduate at the University of Tulsa, in Oklahoma, I was able to gain extensive experience tutoring my peers in the School of Arts and Sciences, while earning my two bachelor degrees in the

Teaching is a rewarding and humbling experience. One of the most beneficial things for me as an artist is the time I spend researching books for my students. I find that the interacting with art books and magazines is far more engaging for the students than slides. Using a variety of critiquing methods seems to keep the level of energy and interest high. I enjoy using a “silent” critique, where students write each other candid and anonymous messages. I try to give projects that encourage personal investigation. My personal “Monster” project requires that the student write a narrative about a monster based on a personal fear. Then they create a 3-D artwork of the monster in its setting. I evaluate the students based on sensitivity, creativity, and thoughtfulness. After I get to be familiar with a student’s work I look for improvement, risk-taking, developing concepts and trying new t

As a gifted student in my primary education, I always excelled in consuming the world around me through knowledge. I wanted to share my love of information with others. My favorite subject is Black and African History. I decided to major in those fields at Florida State University. During my studies Ive gained experience in tutoring SES Students at Cheney Elementary School, then I decided to become a camp counselor in the summer of 08 at Camp Kateri. I love bringing out my inner child to reach students. I love using fun interactive games to help facilitate learning. Singing songs that get children to count and spell. Memorization games, like telephone or memory tag. Its my experience that the more engaged you keep students, the more they will retain information. In my 4 years experience as a camp counselor and tutor I have found that keeping an open mind and always spotting opportunities

While obtaining my Master's degree I had the chance to study many different subjects as well as tutor student from Kindergarten to undergraduates in many areas of study. I received 2 Bachelors degrees in International Affairs and Art History and studied several different languages that will make me well rounded tutor. I have excellent writing and editing skills as well as experience tutoring all ages in a variety of subjects. I have a love for education that I would like the chance to pass on to others. I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize.

As a poet, recent MFA graduate, literary magazine editor, substitute teacher, and college writing instructor, I’ve spent the better part of the last eight years developing a command of the virtues of prose and their instruction. During that time I've had the privilege of working with a diverse array of students, both young and old, developmentally disabled and gifted, traditional and ESL. In addition, for grades K-12, I've taught nearly every subject offered in the Anchorage School District. If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way to comb

I believe that all children are special and have unique learning needs. There is nothing better than watching a child have an "ah-ha!" moment. Sometimes a child (or an adult!) needs a little help to make that connection though. I enjoy the challenge of finding what works for each child. I am a creative individual and take the time to research and experiment with different teaching methods. I believe in positive reinforcement and in putting the student in a position to succeed. In my experience, teaching has been a privilege and a joy! As a newlywed and young mother, I decided to pursue an education degree at the University of Florida. I maintained a 3.85 grade point average. While at the University, I discovered a passion for helping children reach their educational goals. I have spent the last seven years instructing my children.

Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations. A's in school are just a by-product. I seek the real thing, which may not be found in this lifetime, in these bodies, with these minds, but I seek it anyway. Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to see wha

I am a teacher who loves to understand the student and work with where they are before getting them where they need to be. I have proven to myself and others to be patient, optomistic, and trustworthy. My approach to learning is strategic. All teachers should have a plan and follow through with it. I enjoy instructing and guiding, academically. Tutoring, mentoring, and teaching all go together and I have been blessed to be experienced in all three. As an HBCU graduate, I understand the need in education of the grade students within my Alma Mater's community. I have one degree, BS in psychology, with strong science and math background as a previous pharmacy major. I have taken precalculus and calculus in college and basic math courses in high school where I've received A's and B's. I have also tutored college students for math section of the GRE.

I began my higher education at Tallahassee Community College in 1997. After receiving my AA Degree I transferred to F.S.U where I majored in Criminology with a minor in Spanish and graduated in 2003. Since that time, I've worked as a legal assistant/paralegal with different law firms in town. Recently, I decided to return to school and received my certificate in Massage Therapy. The thing I love most about teaching is opening up someones eyes to something new and seeing the "wow" look on their faces. Sometimes certain subject matter is not always easy for a person to learn. I've always appreciated the teacher that went out of their way with a great amount of patience to make sure I understood. I take a lot from the amazing teachers I've had and would hope to be able to pass that on.

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests. The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best teach
