I define teaching as the process by which I help students to learn. I guide learning by helping students individually, at other times instructing an entire class, and still at other times by encouraging class participation. Spontaneity is a valued part of teaching. If the teaching appears memorized, not spoken diaphragmatically, not spoken with eye contact, and if there are no visual aids, learning will likely not take place. Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. It is the goal of every student and the task of every teacher to increase knowledge and understanding in the classroom. I feel that the concept of learning should be focused around four main areas. Independent thought is essential to the development of each student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems will serve them both in and outside of the classroom. Group interaction is also an imp

I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor. I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles.

I have earned a BS in civil engineering as well as an AS in general engineering along with my professional engineering license which has enabled me to gain a thorough grasp of many areas of math and science. I have taught many younger engineers the processes that were used company wide as well as how these specialized skills related to actual classroom situations and textbook references. I have also been a youth soccer coach teaching young children the skills and rules of soccer in a weekly coaching/game session. I have enjoyed teaching and working with many different children. The feeling of a child grasping knowledge and understanding that I have provided incredibly rewarding. I teach through a hands on approach by walking them through step by step and explaining the process in order for the child to grasp and understand the process. All children are full of potential when placed

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. Every child has the potential to learn, but each will do it in his or her own way. I am patient and easy-going, but also determined and driven to help your child succeed. As a recent college graduate, I feel I can relate to your child seeing as how it hasn’t been long since I was in their shoes. I take pride in my work and it is a goal of mine to make a difference in a child’s life. I recently graduated from college with a BS in Mathematics. Upon entering college, I was a Biomedical Science major, so along with my math skills, I am also experienced in the sciences. I have learned grammatical skills through writing essays and lab reports. As a high school senior, I tutored younger students in math and science. While I haven’t had an actual tutoring job in college, I constantly find myself helping others in their math and science

The experiences I gathered during my high school practices really defined a great deal of whom I am now, I loved the work I did with children. I know, first hand, the difference that a teacher can make, not only because of the teachers that influenced me for life but also because when we moved to the USA my son learned English but also received a great amount of support in a very critical period in his life from his teachers. I am pursuing a career as a teacher; it has been one of my long term goals, and I am eager to accomplish the requirements for certification as soon as possible. Currently I am working in elementary school as an ESOL (English learners) tutor, recently received my letter of elegiblity to teach Biology 6-12 and ESOL. The high school that I attended was a vocational school focused on social work; therefore I had the opportunity to work with different community develo

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. 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.

Math and Reading are my two very favorite subjects to teach. With a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and three years of experience teaching developmental reading, you can rest assured that I have the experience and education needed to help your child achieve their maximum potential. I have also taught and tutored students in Math at various grade levels, including the elementary, middle, and high school level with great success. I am currently teaching Reading at a local college in the area, but I am available to work with you and your child most afternoons or evenings. I am not only an educator, but also a Mother of two sons. One of my sons has dyslexia, which requires him to need a lot of extra work on his reading comprehension skills. Because of this, I have come to realize that students can be very smart and still need extra help with assignments. I am very compassionate, p

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 manner. My goal is to compassionatley help students progress and succeed in any subject. I worked for the District School Board of Collier County. As an art teacher, all subjects were intertwined into the curriculum. As a substitute Teacher,for grades K-12, from 2001 to 2005, I experienced working with students at all levels, abilities, and subject areas; including autism, learning disabilities, reading, math, science, english, the media center and history.

As a undergraduate my main focus was interpersonal and intercultural communications. I tutored at a local high school for two years in many different subjects, especially math and english. I spent two years living in a francophone country in Africa and also have two years classwork in french as well. I enjoy teaching and more importantly I love helping others. I am patient, easy going and understanding. I understand that learning is a process and is not the same for everyone. Some people response better to different forms of teaching than others and that is one of the major challenges teachers face. I work well with youth and enjoy challenging myself and trying new teaching methods because any student can learn. Any student can succeed.

I have loved teaching from the time I was in high school. My love of helping children came from teaching swimming to people of all ages. I truly believe that no child should be left behind, and everything I could possibly do to help a child will be done. I believe that learning does not only occur behind 4 walls of a classroom, but every minute of every day has the opportunity to be a learning experience. I teach through a variety of different methods, focusing on strategies that will help my students master any skill in front of them. I combine both teacher-directed and student-directed activities throughout my lessons so that students have a model to use, but also have the ability to discover things on their own. My name is Courtney Helff. I have a wide variety of experience in teaching, even though I am still fairly new to it. I have taught preschool (2 years-old), VPK (pre-Kindergart

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 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 Rosa, CA. for six years. After moving to Florida and working in The Department of Children and Families, I tried other fields of work. From 2006 on, I have worked as an independent contractor for a local tutoring business. I tutor all age groups and specialize in SAT, ACT, and FCAT preparation. I also tutor students in Reading Comprehension and Study Skills. 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
