One on one tutoring style--I provide one on one tutoring sessions that include the use of a variety of instructional strategies including worksheets, workbooks, sight words, vocabulary, Venn diagrams and charts, flash cards, compositions and educational websites.

In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both entertaining and beneficial, just as I believe that all students are capable of reaching new heights of academic excellence. All it takes is a little bit of patience and creativity on both sides, the teacher and the student, to have an unforgettable experience. I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My classes ha

My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on their st

My finding principle on learning rest on the works of John Dewey, "want for your students, what you would want for your own child". With that said, I am a person of great patience and consdiration. I recognize that each student learns at a different rate and allow students to explore how best they learn, and given them an opportunity to do so. "Wait time" is the key to success and I give my students that time in and out of classroom. Therefore,I use a variety of learning styles based on my students. However, I prefer the contructivist approach to learning, allowing students to critcally think and apply what they are learning while giving them an opportunity to discuss, revist,and share. For the past 13 years,I have had a great opportunity to shape the lives of many students. The students range from elementary, middle, high and adult learners.I began my journey in the field of education

Though I graduated with a BS in Secondary English Education, I have tutored and worked with students from elementary to secondary levels. From 2003-2008 I taught English and a little Spanish in both public and private schools, endeavoring to give my fullest and best to teaching all students who came across my path. Teaching in a U.S. public school and at a private institution overseas introduced me to a variety of students from different backgrounds, learning styles, and study habits. I have tutored and given instruction in all areas of English, grammar, literature, writing, English as a second language, and Spanish. Though not currently teaching, I hope to continue helping students achieve their goals and dreams. Variety is good! I enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, personalities, and academic levels. I have come to realize that we learn differently. What works with on

Both my parents are educators and have instilled in me the fundamental importance of education. I enjoy working with children and seeing them succeed on their own terms. I am willing to work diligently to see a child meet his or her educational goals. I believe that a comfortable learning environment makes learning fun for a child and also makes material retention longterm. I also encourage critical thinking and personal relationships to the material. Having moved between English, History, and Anthropology during my undergraduate years, I've surveyed quite an extensive portion of the social sciences. I have earned a major in Anthropology and a minor in History. The workloads for these courses included several 50+ page ethnographic reports in addition to the basic course curriculum.

At UM, I received a scholarship in which I tutored the students, helping with thesises, short papers, as well as summaries. I worked at the University's writing lab, and found it very inspirational as well as beneficially rewarding. At USA, I had a similar scholarship. I tutored students from overseas, checking their grammar, style of writing, punctuation, ect. Patience is second nature to me now, accepting that all students differently. I found it inspiring to teach those that were not native speakers of our country, learning how to communicate with them, and "find the idea behind the idea," the abstract meaning behind what they were trying to communicate on paper - their perspective; also challenging and rewarding. My style of teaching varies. On the most important note, I find environment important for focus. In addition, I find that the student-teacher relationship must be on

I have always loved working with children, in any capacity. Tutoring has not only combined my skills as a teacher but allowed me to work one on one with students in a way that is not possible in a classroom setting. I have had great success tutoring students of all backgrounds and academic levels because I strive to know them as individuals and find what works best for them. It is my belief that strong self-esteem is key to academic performance. Being genuine and providing continuity in instruction are elements of tutoring that I have consistently displayed throughout my years of experience and it has made all the difference for my students and for me. During and after completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I spent eight years as a volunteer tutor and three years as a paid tutor. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Melbourne, Florida and, most recently, as an AVID tutor for
