Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Naples, FL

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I was a single parent to a son with cerebral palsy and "tutored" him through elementary, middle and high school as well as a community college. With his disability, my son required hands on help and patience and encouragement which I think I supplied with success. I am now married to a long time elementary school teacher and we frequently discuss experiences in teaching. She knew my son very well and we talked about his needs in education. I enjoyed working one on one with him, not only as my child but in seeing the comprehension and enthusiasm that he developed in our working together. The greatest thrill a teacher can have is knowing that a child enriched his or her own life through knowledge and learning.

I have taught many subjects and sports throughout my life. I have always enjoyed teaching. My tutoring results are mirrored in the grades of my students. I usually assess the present situation, attempt to bring the student current, then cover material expected for the grade level that may have been missed. A good basic knowledge and ongoing supervision with attention to student organization provides lasting results. I spent 6 years tutoring my children who were ESE and ADHD and have been tutoring others for a year. My students range from first grade through college in mathematics and grades 1-8 in all subjects and preparation for FCAT, SAT, ACT. I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in physics and and AAS in data processing. I use a variety of methods to teach effectively.

My compassionate teaching style is relaxed; stressing self-discipline and time management skills while learning to focus on the fundamental concepts in any discipline in a concrete and consecutive manner. Positive recognition and rewarding good behavior is a fundamental part of my style including clearly communicating the subject matter in a concise, practical, sequential manner from the the basic simpler material to the more difficult material, one step at a time. I hope to help all students that I meet to first and foremost feel good and positive about their abilities and themselves and strive to achieve their educational goals and do their best. As a graduate of Florida International University with a Master of Science in Education, I learned the importance of teaching by studying various subjects to enhance my teaching abilities and help me communicate in a positive and clear manne

My teaching style is based on; first instilling in the student that they "can" learn and there is nothing they cannot achieve. I teach them through building on successes and the skills they already know, then introduce new skills and practice applying them to real life situations where this step allows the students to see the relevancy of what they are doing. I believe in providing a multitude of verbal praise for each step of learning. I believe in encouraging students to ask questions and not be afraid to say for the one hundreth time, "I dont get it". My work experience over the last 25 years has been a variety of private tutoring, public schools, and a residential treatment center. I have experience working with all ages of children from kindergarten to college level. I specialize in teaching children with learning disabilites, or students who seem to struggle with learning new s

I like to teach by example and immersion. So much of what schools preach today is rote memorization, and to a certain degree, this cannot be avoided. But whenever possible, I like to try and find real world applications and demonstrations to get my lessons across to my pupil. Throughout high school and college, I've always excelled in my school work. I was president of the math club and often tutored my peers during my spare time. The University of Florida has provided me with a well rounded education, and I feel myself knowledgable in many areas, from languages like french, spanish and hindi, to the sciences like chemistry, biology, and physics. I'm also very familiar with writing term papers.

I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels. I meet them and determine their learning style as well as general abilities. Helping each student to discover his or her strengths is key to success in tutoring each client. Working with classroom teachers or counselors is also very important as communication should be a strong link in the ability to pinpoint areas of need. Being positive and encouraging is a hallmark of good and successful tutoring. My students enjoy our sessions and the older students recommend me to their friends as well. I worked in California for one year as a substitute teacher; I worked for three years in a Christian School first in a 3-4 combination, then a 5-6 combination, then a 4-5 combination. I then moved on to tutoring. My first year was with Sylvan Learning Center, then with a private tutoring group, One to One Learning Center in Santa Ro

I believe that education is the key to unlock the doors of opportunity. I love to watch the excitement in a person when they learn something new. Many times, it is just figuring out HOW a person best learns for a new concept to take root and grow into understanding. My goal is to help each student find their best learning approach, so that they are better able to understand the material. I believe that learning should be fun and exciting, and I hope that I can provide that atmosphere by individually discovering new and innovative ways to help provide better understanding of the subject. I am patient, nurturing, and love to laugh. My educational background has given me a strong foundation in several areas of higher education. My undergraduate training began in Biomedical Engineering; however, I switched my focus to Biological Sciences, with an emphasis on Neurobiology and Physiology,

As a graduate of a private liberal arts college, I was educated in English and multi-cultural literature. As a reflection of what I was learning, I became interested in participating in the literary tradition, and began to take creative writing very seriously. I developed a passion for both poetry and literature and wish to share it with my students. I have tutored English, writing, history, ecology, and screenwriting. My passion for language and literature drives my desire to teach; I love to share everything from a basic grammar lesson to an in-depth, critical exegesis of a foreign novel. I strive to provide an individual-based educational experience for each child. I draw on each student's strengths and weaknesses to tailor each lesson. As the poet Stanley Kunitz once wrote, "live in the layers / not on the litter."

What I like most about tutoring is the great nervous energy and excitement I feel as I work with children, this despite the fact that I have been tutoring for over 5 years. The anticipation of meeting so many new people and working with other students and starting adventure in learning gets my juices flowing. It is the excitements of the students that I come across keep my interest each time I interact with them. It never ceases to amaze me how every student develops their own personality and reactions to my teaching style. Ican tutor adults and student including days and nights and not one is the same. The content is the same but the way students handle the cooperative learning activities abd styles. Even within a smallgroups or individual setting, they function differently and develop their own personalities. I am qualified to assist with aspects of their education and training, if t
