My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : I grew up in Florida, so I am familiar with the content.

Although I have never tutored professionally, I have had extensive experience tutoring friends and family in need. I am experienced in tutoring young children as well as classroom peers at my level. I have two bachelor degrees from UCF, Bio-medical Science and Psychology, and I feel confident in my ability to help anyone learn. I'm looking to earn extra money while completing my Master's degree at UCF.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.

I have 10+ years experience helping ESL students prepare for the TOEFL and IELTS. Beyond exam preparation I also instill unique lessons and rules of the English language to help students better grasp the skills it takes to function in the daily demand academically and socially of being a non native speaker.

Through attention to the basics while keeping the atmosphere light, I am able to help children find their way to academic success. By encouraging the children to talk about their favorite subjects, I am able to tailor each session to their individual tastes. This has allowed my students to attain a high level of productivity in the time allotted to our tutoring sessions. As a skilled writer, I find that even the least willing reader finds it fun to read the stories that I place them into as leading characters. When caught early, every child's reading difficulties can become successes.
During the last fourteen years, I have made it my goal to read about two books per week. During this period, I have taught myself the computer, trained students in a variety of subjects, and home educated three children. It has been my privilege to work with a number of students, encouraging them in t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT.
My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom.

My teacher style is to first identify the specific area the student is struggling with. I help the students develop skills to better tackle the area. I believe in presenting the material in several different ways until the student understands it. I work hard to make learning a positive, fun and encouraging experience.
I am currently a School Psychologist for the school system. My job is to help identify students who have learning problems and develop interventions to target these problem areas. Since I have summers off, I usually work as a teacher/tutor. I absolutely love working with children on a one-to-one basis. I have experience working with students in Elementary School through College.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching since I was seventeen years old. When I was a teenager in the island of Jamaica, I had very few available opportunities, so after a one year youth service volunteer pogram in a pre-school and kindergarten, I opened my own pre-school to service the children in my community. After migrating to the United States, I taught at a number of pre-schools. I later began working in the mental health field, and for the past 12 years, I have been committed to counseling and mentoring children. I also volunteer my time to teach Sunday school, and more recently began a volunteer reading program at a local commmunity center. For the past five years, I have also taught adult learners seeking a seminary education.
I enjoy working with children. I believe that all children have their own hidden potential and need the right kind of motivation to inspire them to be the best they ca ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Teachers College and also earning a bachelor's degree in sociology, teaching at the elementary level I desired to further my education in an area where I could better assist students to be successful. I have since earned an M. Ed in Special Education and Ed. S. in Educational Leadership. I have over 30 years of excellent teaching record at all levels - K-12. I have taught English, Math, and Social Science for most of my teaching career. During the last seven years I have worked as a Lake County instructional leader supporting both teachers and students. I am currently working with the students in the lower quartile to ensure success. I tutor, provide study and organizational skills where necessary.
I believe that all children can learn, maybe "not in the same way or on the same day" but at their own pace and to their learning style. Therefore I endeavor to tea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Florida State University with a degree in Child Development, I purchased, managed, and ran a sports-education program for preschoolers. I created all lesson plans and designed individual teaching programs for 2-6 years olds. During that time I also received my certification in K-6, as well as Athletic Coaching. I was a substitute teacher at a prominent private school in Orlando, and have worked as a tutor with various children and families in the Orlando area. My tutoring/teaching experience is with children aged Pre K-6th grade, however, I have Language Arts/English/Grammar expertise due to my other work experiences.
My teaching philosophy is to be kind, considerate, and respectful to each student and caregiver I encounter. I aim to teach students with respect by listening to their needs, giving them time to express their feelings, and allowing positive ... read more

My teaching philosophy revolves around my belief that every child can succeed if given the tools and opportunities. I am a very encouraging person, and I am able to help students to realize that they matter and that they have potential in academic studies and beyond. Patience is an integral part of my teaching, but no more so than setting high standards for students. Often, students do not know what they are capable of accomplishing until someone encourages them and provides tools and guidance. My goal as a teacher is to find a way to connect to each individual child in order to help him/her succeed; and, because each student learns differently, this demands constant adaptation and creativity on my part as a teacher. I am dedicated to the students I serve.

I enjoy a great passion for helping students learn the fundamentals to empower their lives. My goal as an educator is to facilitate critical thinking skills so young people learn to be intrigued by history, reading, and writing. I have the benefit of a passion for learning all I can, and want to encourage our youth to see the excitement that stems from being well-informed! All youth have the ability to learn, and it is important to explore different methods for working with individuals. One-on-one time can be the best way to help children learn. I have a nurturing, caring personality which brought me to the education field, to help children of all ages whose unique struggles do not have to define their worth in the world.

I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, in which I have utilized in the Orange County Public School system. In my first year of teaching, I served as the grade level chairperson for the 5th grade. I have a deep passion for children to excel in their academics; especially those children who are already facing challenges. Additionally, I have worked in trying to build literacy in adults, by being an adult literacy tutor. I am an advocate of education!
I truly believe that children learn differently, and my objective is to find that nitch in a child, and teach/tutor from that angle. I feel like children have to be able to relate to things in order to truly understand them. When you expose a child to things they are unfamiliar with, it opens up their capacity to learn and comprehend better.
