I enjoy teaching and working with children. All children can learn, as I see it. Learning should be enjoyable, and something a child is eager to do. Some simply feel overwhelmed, and need to have subjects simplified and to be inspired to want to learn. In today's world, some subjects initially seem too complex. I am available to help your child feel inspired and to feel a sense of satisfaction in learning. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I strive to find ways to simplify something a child finds difficult and frustrating. I believe a good educator can make a profound difference in a child's education.
I am a retired US Coast Guard officer with twenty three years service, now holding a Bachelor of Science degree. I initially studied electrical engineering for two years, including chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and earned two year degree in mathematics and history. ... read more

I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.
I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible.

I have over 30 years of work experience, many in the customer service and one on one area. I have a bachelor's degree and graduated with a 3.65 GPA. I am currently teaching as an adjunct professor for Rasmussen College in their Allied Health Program. I have tutored students in specific classes. While I have no hands on experience in tutoring elementary students, I feel that my communication skills and abilities would allow me to do an excellent job.
Currently, my experience with teaching has been in an online environment. In the past I have worked with staff members to provide training. In regard to children, the thought of being able to help them become successful with their reading and math skills draws me in, and I feel that my creativity and organization as well as desire to meet challenges would make me an excellent tutor.

During my years in High School, I participated in various programs that involved tutoring students in reading and language arts. I have also tutored friends and family throughout the years in reading, math, and history. As a current student at the University of South Florida I help fellow classmates with homework as often as I can. I currently hold my AA from Manatee Community College and will graduate from USF with my BA in December of 2010.
I love teaching and working with children of all ages, especially at the elementary and middle school level. I know that my job is not done until the student I am tutoring fully understands the subject matter. I believe students learn best through exploring the material at their own pace and applying life experiences to the material at hand. When I am teaching students I am both patient and considerate, as I know that the material can be diffi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I served 20 years in the Navy, and during that period earned my BS Degree. Many of my assignments were in development and institution of training programs including Equal Opportunity/Race Relations, Leadership and Management, and Professional Development. After I retired I worked as an engineer for government contractors writing training programs and systems manuals for state-of-the-art communication systems. I earned a Washington State teaching certificate for Broad Area Social Studies and History, grades 4 - 12. As a pastor, I concentrated my efforts in teaching theology to my parishioners. I have also writing skills, concentrating on grammar, punctuation, and style.
I believe that knowledge is one of the most important facet in developing a successful life. One of my favorite joys is to see another person learn something new and to make use of that knowledge in his life or caree ... read more

I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama. I have also have two years experience in the areas of ESL/ELL with my previous school district. I have taught primarily at the high school level, and during that time, I taught 9th, 10th grade Language Arts, 9-12 Theatre, and 9-12 Speech classes. Since retiring, I worked with a local government grant program for youthful offenders, teaching GED classes and preparation for the FCAT exam. Reading and English were my focus.
I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a ... read more

I am certified to teach both math and reading in Florida. I am particularly strong in helping students to understand the basics. I became a teacher because I feel that I can make a positive difference in my students' lives while providing them quality instruction from a teacher who truly cares. My last teaching assignments were in preparing high risk students to pass the FCAT and the GED. My students exhibited a ninety-seven percent pass rate on both tests upon passing my class.
Students should be taught as individuals based on their particular learning styles. People learn at their own rate. My philosophy is that all students can be successful if taught by a caring qualified teacher in a positive learning environment. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges of teaching. My reward comes when my students are successful in learning and develop positive self-esteems towards learning ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is my passion. I love to see the look on a child’s face when they have grasped a concept. Through my experiences I have learned that children are all different and learn in many different ways. The challenge of figuring out the best way for your child to learn, I find to be a great opportunity. I am a very understanding, motivated, and hard working person who wants the very best for each and every child I have the chance to work with. I believe in hard work. I believe in teaching by example and giving students the most opportunities to try their best. I am in favor of guided discovery. I am devoted to making a difference in the lives of children.
I have always felt that academics are a vital aspect of my life. I have maintained a 4.0 grade point average while working on my bachelor’s degree and also in my studies for my master’s degree. Not only have I had academi ... read more

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.
Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I would describe my teaching style as very patient, supportive and goal-oriented. I bring various activities to the class, including games and music, and generally let the students do as much work as possible, especially practicing speaking, writing, listening or reading. I learned that Student-Centered teaching is a good method and I try to use it as much as possible. I have a very clear speaking voice and most students find my classes to be fun and inspiring. I am used to being in front of people as a music performer and I find this helps in making the class more interesting and motivates the students to work hard.
I have ten years of experience as an ESOL teacher. I began my career in Costa Rica in 2001 and upon returning to Sarasota began working for Sarasota County Technical Institute. I then moved to Barcelona, Spain to obtain the Cambridge CELTA certificate from Internat ... read more

The Multiple Intelligence Theory considers various possibilities for children’s (and adults’) capacity to learn. Gardner believes that there are any number of ways a person can be successful. I feel that all children are capable if they receive encouragement and that all children have a talent to offer. I also believe that talent and intelligence should be nurtured because everyone is special and has something to contribute to society.
My career in education began thirteen years ago. I started by volunteering in my son's classes as well as in the library. While volunteering in the library, I taught children how to do to research, write essays and reports, construct Power Point presentations and, finally, how to present their work in front of their peers. I attended the substitute training course and, as a substitute, I have worked with children of all ages and backgrounds as ... read more

I have a good understanding in math and its applications. I do not have formal tutoring experience as an adult, but have taken a break from my career in business to stay home and take care of my children, currently 5 and 7 years old. I have helped my daughter with most of her math concepts and homework and she is one of the best in her class, and I have helped both with their English and Spanish vocabulary and pronunciation. I would say I spend about 2 hours daily (during school days) teaching them and making sure they understand the concepts taught in school. In high school, I was also a member of Mu Alpha Theta (Math honor society), and volunteered as a math mentor after school for 1 year.
My best trait as a tutor is that I will not give up on my student, even if they have given up on themselves. It is my belief that most concepts can be understood if taught properly, and r ... read more

Apart from baseball, my second love is education. I feel that every student has the ability to grasp a subject or a certain idea. It is all a matter of finding out how that student learns. My main style of teaching is threw the Socratic method of dialogue and real world examples. However, I am very open minded, patient, out going, and I am not satisfied with doing things one-way. There are many different ways to climb a mountain but it is important to know the most productive.
After graduating from Jacksonville University with a BS in Business Administration, I joined the field of professional baseball. I have been playing professionally in the Tampa Bay Rays’ organization for the past 5 seasons. During my off-seasons, I have been working for the Sarasota School Board as a preferred substitute mostly at Sarasota Middle School. I have taught in every subject at the middle sc ... read more
