For a six month period I worked in tandem with a highly proficient Latin instructor who had 14 students achieve Magna Cum Laude in Latin one year. As my language choice in high school, my studies in Latin have assisted in my achieving superior skills in English usage and expression and facilitated my learning French and Spanish. On my first visit to Italy, I found that I was able to comprehend a good part of Italian conversation. For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna, Austria for a period of 2 years and have offered ESOL instruction

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY Let me start by saying that in my family we have a lot of teachers, so it runs in my blood?. I teach Economics and Business classes. I have been teaching for the past 13 years so I have plenty of experience. I meet 40 new students a month. I taught for several universities online and on campus. Economics, my favorite course to teach is viewed by many as boring; there are right and wrong ways to approach questions, and finite answers to many questions. Of course, it is far more than that as economics should be viewed as a complex language with many shades of gray that necessitate complex judgment calls. I try to get beyond the procedures. My approach: A positive atmosphere. Students are called upon to discuss questions, but mistakes are treated as opportunities to explore misconceptions, not as a reflection of a student's abilities. A window on the world.

At a Wall Street bank, I trained new hires in the proper transmission of Telex and SWIFT messages. I later moved to SR&D as a Programmer Analyst. I worked in the creation and maintenance of programs needed by the bank. For 12 years, I recruited and trained independent salespeople, while conducting my own demonstrations. My income averaged upwards of $50k annually. From 1998 to 2008, I worked in an overnight freight setting as a supervisor where I was responsible for orientation and training of new hires. I reported extensively via email, spreadsheets, and on the ASR 400 system. Currently, I am in the Educator Preparation Institute where I am in the last months of qualification as a Florida "out-of-field" teacher. I believe that students will be more inclined to pay attention and remember if they are having fun. I try to put some fun in everything I teach. I have designed many

I believe that all students are different and will excel in academics by exposure to a variety of teaching techniques and strategies. As a result, I have made it my top priority to learn new and innovative teaching methods that will allow me to individualize my instruction for each student. I love to go to seminars which give concrete and explicit directions and training which will help increase the effectiveness of my instruction. Each student is capable of performing to their potential, it just takes a dedicated and motivated teacher whom never gives up to help them achieve their goals. As a student at the prestigious University of Florida, I aspire to obtain a position which will allow me to help educate the youth of today by providing them with an education that will prepare them to become successful individuals and active members of society.

My teaching style is interactive and based upon understanding, instead of mere repetition of the matter taught. I always put the subjects in their broadest context possible, historical, cultural or other. As a seasoned instructor in the Humanities I have a long and vast experience teaching at different levels: secondary school, college or university. My teaching has taken place in a wide variety of settings: from a traditional scholarly environment to courses of cultural understanding for the US Marine Corps. Geographically speaking my teaching experience is also rather vast; having taught in Western Europe, North- and East Africa and the USA.

Currently, I am a 7th Grade Social Studies teacher at an inner city school in Orlando. My perspective on the subject of education is unique due to my experiences in my first profession: television and communications. I was a news editor during Operation Iraqi Freedom and I had a unique look at file footage from both sides of the war. I learned first hand that every story has two sides. I bring this to my philosophy of education. I have excellent communication skills, and my research, grammar, and writing skills have been greatly improved by my documentary film production background. I have tutored my peers as a student, I taught adults how to read as a literacy volunteer in college, and now, professionally, I work with middle school students helping them to facilitate the skills necessary to succeed with their academic goals.

My style is very unlike most educators, but that is why I believe I have such a high success rate. I believe that each student should have fair and equal educational access and that each child has the ability to learn. I believe in having the highest expectations for EVERY student. I also believe in making sure that curriculum and lessons are relevant to the child's surroundings, and I practice the strategies of modeling and practicing the concepts or assignments with the student. For the past four years, I have spent much of my teaching career working with ESE children and those from low income backgrounds with significant learning barriers. I have been incredibly successful in making learning gains and working toward successful high school completion and college enrollment. I have also tutored students after school and during the summer for the past four years in all core subject areas

I am just as comfortable tutoring students in math and science as in reading and writing. As a secondary school student, I received a number of top science honors, such as first place honors in several state science fairs and being named a semi-finalist in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search. Since high school, my interests have leaned more to the arts and writing. I graduated with a BA with distinction in Art History from Yale University and a PhD in the same subject from the University of Manchester, UK. Overall, I have ten years of experience helping students sharpen their skills in reading and writing and tutoring students in subjects as diverse as drama, art history, general/advanced math and science, and English. I was the valedictorian of my graduating high school class and one of the top high school math and science students in the nation, but I was not always a stellar s

As a Literature MA graduate, I have written extensive article-length papers, conducted in-class seminars, and completed comprehensive exams. During exam semesters, I facilitate study-groups and tutor students studying for comprehensive exams. Currently, I teach English and Women's Studies at the University of Central Florida, as well as substitute teach for Seminole County Public Schools at all grade levels and for all courses. In 2007, I was a teaching assistant for two psychology courses and a sociology course. I know both postsecondary and secondary education Florida curricula. My strengths are in the humanities/liberal arts, including English, all humanities, and art history, as well as social sciences, including sociology, psychology, and anthropology, all of which I have tutored students. I have also tutored high school students in Latin I, II, and III. My teaching philosophy is mo

I enjoy tutoring because I believe that every child could benefit from one-on-one instruction. Since every child learns differently, it is difficult to reach every child in the regular classroom setting. When I tutor, I figure out what type of learner the student is and I work with him/her to find the best method of learning for them. Academic success is not only determined by intellectual ability, but also the ability to produce quality work in a timely fashion. With the help of a tutor, a child can reach their full potential. Throughout my academic career, I have had a myriad of success. I have consistently achieved high grades in every subject throughout school and have received many awards. I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in Classical Civilization and Art History, but I excelled in several subjects, such as biological sciences and English. Because of this success, I

The joy of teaching has permeated my professional career, whether as Director of Education at three churches, the editor of a curriculum line, a substitute teacher filling in at the last minute, a well-traveled seminar/workshop leader, a freelance writer of curriculum and classroom tools; the volunteer facilitator of an ongoing weekly class, or most recently, as an educator at a small academy, teaching Creative Writing, Journalism and Latin in an impoverished area of Orlando. I have enjoyed investing my teaching gifts in students ranging from preschool to those in assisted living facilities. My enthusiasm for learning has taken me from English labs in Caracas, Venezuela, to Upward Bound Camps in rural Virginia. It has been my experience that every child can learn when taught with enthusiasm, care, and creativity. I attempt to lead students in discovering for themselves, as opposed to del

Create and sustain an environment embracing diversity that fosters leadership and accountability for all employees and students. I have been teaching at Colleges and University since 1999. I have taught sociology, Psychology, Drug & Alcohol decency, Group Dynamics and Decision Making, Personality Theory, Human Development, Neuroscience and the Human Brain, Student Success and Comprehensive Stress Management. I love to teach adults and high school students.

I believe my strong communication skills and high energy come together to make me an effective tutor. My style of teaching is highly-interactive as I value the student practicing and demonstrating his growing understanding of the subject matter. I focus on creatively explaining material so that students can experience success. I began to realize my passion for teaching in high school when I started my own tutoring business. After studying English in college, I naturally wanted to use my understanding to help students grow in their abilities and confidence. For the past 20 years, I have been engrossed in teaching--at my church in the children's classes, at home as I home-schooled my three sons, and in school settings in various subjects. During the last four years, I have been teaching students in Latin, Language Arts, History, Mathematics and Bible.
