CLAST Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mims, FL

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. 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 have experience with all age groups and types of children. I volunteer at a school for children with learning/emotional disabilities, and I have also worked with troubled at-risk students through my time doing SES tutoring. These particular experiences, as well as others, have clearly demonstrated that all children are capable of learning, but it is imperative that certain children just have a little extra time and help. I believe tutoring is essential for this reason, because the tutor gets the chance to work a bit more closely with students, so that it is slightly easier to learn their style and capabilities. On my end, I offer this attention to my students and keep detailed info about all of their setbacks, successes, learning styles etc. This, paired with the appropriate instruction based on individuals instead of groups, is what propels me forward. In addition, I am consistent, pa

As a reading and technology teacher, I prepared high school students for college level.

My expectation is that all students will succeed, to have good classroom management, and to design lessons to help students reach mastery. My goal is to create self-aware, self-reliant, and self-governing for all students. A number of students are not aware of the importance of reading being a verbal intelligence.This was a

I have a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Natural Science and a Minor in Public Health. I worked for USF Housing and Residential Education. I also was a Peer Leader for Chemistry where I was basically a Teaching Assistant and led two sections by myself. I like the child to feel comfortable with me to where they are at ease and readily ask questions. I prefer to ask the student leading questions to aide them in coming to the conclusion on their own as opposed to simply telling them information. After a few questions have been answered then I am able to help them with the details of problem and a help them build a method for solving similar problems in the future.

I have always been involved in the teaching industry. Weather that is after school care or tutoring and mentoring. I was an Americorps Volunteer from 2000-2001 working within education. I was an in class tutor for kindergarden, 3rd and 5th grades. I also taught at Apopka Middle and drop out prevention at Apopka High School. I facilitated a boys group every Tuesday night and a youth group every Wednesday night. I did summer camps and tutoring after school as well. My teaching style is that we do not move on until you (the student) "get it". If that is an hour or two, that's fine, or a week or two, that is fine as well. I need the student to know the material in order to move on.

Students learn best from doing things. I try not to lecture, but to involve the student in the learning process. I can lecture, but I haven't found it to be as effective as other methods. I very much prefer tutoring to classroom teaching, mostly because I am helping people learn what they want to learn, and solve problems they are having troubles with. I have worked part time as an adjunct instructor since the '70s, including 22 years with the Orlando Program of Florida Southern College, and 11 years with Valencia Community College. The later provided me with dozens of short courses in education. I also completed and retired from a civilian career with the US Army and Navy, starting as an intern, and reaching Senior Executive levels. Very recently I have been tutoring fifth grade and seventh grade students attending Lake Highland in Orlando. Also worked with math students wo

It also creates opportunities looking into the future while minimizing the possibility of risk or failure. I like working with individual from all walks of life. Some are meant to be leaders while others tend to be followers. But in general, we all want to be heard! I normally encoruaged people to speak their mind an

As an undergrad at UCF, I spent time tutoring fellow classmates in english and math classes. I began teaching a student leadership class and continued that while in graduate school. I spent a year in Japan teaching english through a variety of teaching meathods. My master's degree education provided a great deal of technique and methodology in which to tutor students with special needs. I believe in determining the needs of each specific child. Some students need more structure, while others need more freedom and more creative pathways towards learning. I can facilitate both, specilizing in transformative, participatory learning. To see and hear are one thing, but learning by doing is the most successful. My goal in life is to provide opporuntity, motivate, and inspire others as others have done for me.

During my 13 years in the Navy, I have always excelled in my academics and I welcomed the opportunity to serve as a mentor to my peers as well as subordinates.

I have extensive knowledge in many fields that helped me achieve my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Criminal Justice. I also have volunteered at my local church for 3 years and am active in the childrens ministry, where I serve as a mentor and role model. When I educate young people, I believe in allowing the class essentially teach themselves and empower them to conduct peer reviews, which does wonders for their self esteem. For adult learners, I have served as a facilitator in many different types of forums and adapted my teaching me

My teaching style is essentially one of motivation and entertainment. It is my contention that a motivating teacher has to be somewhat of an entertainer to ensure he or she has the undivided attention of students. I have been so successful with this teaching approach that I have been cited by "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" on four occasions for teaching excellence. I am also able to inspire students by telling them of my life's story; one in which I started out in life as a high school drop out and was able through hard work to get back on a track of objective endeavor. I am a retired Police Officer having worked for the East Orange, New Jersey police Department for 27 years. My assignment at my retirement was detective bureau commander.

As a graduate, with a BA in Sociology and a GPA of 3.97, my biggest accomplishments during my matriculation are they ways I served others. As President of two organizations, one the International Sociological Honor Society and a member of other service organizations, including the Americorps Mentoring and Tutoring Alliance, I was able to develop and participate in various programs that promote social growth and change, especially in the area of education. I am now, pursing a MS in Leadership. My experience includes tutoring in traditional areas such as Reading, Math, Social Studies, English; however, through my profession as a Case Manager, it also includes teaching safety planning, Domestic Violence Education and empowerment. Based on empowerment and flexibility, I begin by learning my student’s strengths, weaknesses, learning style and his or her goals. Their strengths are used as a

I create a learning-centered environment that is a welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging place in which my students feel safe enough to explore and share their thoughts and observations of the world. I consistently communicate my interest in and enthusiasm for the course material by demonstrating the real-world application of the skills we are learning and by illustrating how much I respect and value my students’ thoughts and ideas. I believe the old authoritarian model of classroom teaching, in which the student is a passive receptacle, creates a threatening environment that allows for very little room for growth. I follow a more democratic approach to teaching that is participatory in nature and promotes active learning. I have over ten years of college teaching experience and have taught a wide range of subjects, including English composition, English as a second language, remedial
