American History is one of my top subjects! History is one of our greatest learning tools. We can see the mistakes of the past and guide future generations to avoid making those mistakes again.

I go with the styles that fit the student. I generally use the first couple of visits to assess what works best for the student and then work with the student in a calm and patient yet firm manner. I do not try to force results, every student learns differently and has different aptitudes. Therefore, it wiser not to push the student too hard for results, rather I push myself to find new and inventive ways to help students learn the material.
Took three years of college courses on Psychology at Ashford University, trained with a Computer Troubleshooting Specialist for four years, have two books of my own written word poetry published. In my time at Ashford I picked plenty of shareable skills, study skills, time management, and using my keyboard to it's fullest potential to meet deadlines. While training with the Computer Troubleshooter, I learned more about how to use software and t ... read more

American History is one of my top subjects! I have lived in many historical places throughout the USA and am a huge history buff. I am a certified teacher in German and have my Masters in Secondary Education. I have taken over 30 credits in history including American History through film. I have lived in Gettysburg PA for three years and Richmond area in Virginia for two.

My teaching style is student centered. I will adapt the information according to the type of learner you are. I understand that no two students learn the same way. I create scaffolding lessons and activities focused on differentiated learning styles from hands-on learner to visual learner. My goal is to promote student learning, achievement, and success.
Since 2008, I have been a teacher and just relocated from teaching German at a high school in Pennsylvania to beautiful Sarasota. I do have my Pennsylvania Professional Teaching Certificate and am getting my Florida one. I love to teach and enjoying inspiring others to learn more about the world around them. I have lived in Germany and am fluent in German. I also am a huge history buff and have traveled to over 20 countries.

Experienced Educator who wants your child to love learning.

I have a very engaging manner with students. I feel that learning is a joy, rather than a chore and I try to pass that attitude on to my students. I use frequent checks for understanding and reteaching when necessary. I also believe that a student's own insights and questions can guide learning to its highest levels.
I have been a full-time classroom teacher at all grade levels for the last 12 years. I also have several years as a substitute teacher. I specialize in differentiating instruction for all learners. In addition, I can teach reading and writing skills using authentic sources and classroom subject matter so that students don't fall behind on content-learning at the expense of practice with unrelated materials.

American History is one of my top subjects! History was my minor in college and I have remained an avid student of American and World History. Because I was a college and university professor for decades, I saw the value of incorporating history into the study of literature. They are mutually illuminating fields. My extensive European, Central American and Caribbean travels have enriched my knowledge of history.

I am a serious, dedicated professional educator who is also hip, easygoing and fun. I enjoy teaching and I will make sure you enjoy learning from me.
I have been a college and university professor of English for over three decades. I have also taught many history and humanities courses. I have taught all ages, from junior high students through traditional college-ages students to adults and seniors. I make learning fun and easy. I enjoy working with students of many nationalities, interests and cultures.

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

I have strong desire and passion to work with children! I have a very positive and enthusiastic approach using differentiated instruction, Kagan Cooperative Learning strategies, and Bloom's Higher Order Thinking. I make learning fun for all children by finding out what interests them and develop my lessons around that.
As a student at the University of South Florida, I was required to complete three levels of internships. In my last internship, I was in complete charge of the class. I used assessments to plan my lessons, seeing if I could go on to the next lesson or needed to review. I am a very enthusiastic teacher, and I have had several of my interning teachers, students, and cooperating teachers tell me that I make learning fun. In addition to my BS degree, I have had experience tutoring co-workers and friends in high school algebra and college algebra. Lastly, I am a basketbal ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with junior high, high school, and college level students. I am able to communicate material that will encourage the student to be analytical and draw conclusions on his or her own, especially for subjects in the social sciences. I like to encourage students to explore and learn on their own, seeking out material that challenges their natural talents.
I first used my teaching skills while acting as a tour guide at the Astor House Museum in Golden, Colorado. I enjoyed communicating with school groups the history of the house museum, which was once a hotel back in the 19th century for travelers heading out to California to seek their fortune in gold. I presently work at Rosetta Stone and enjoy using my linguistic knowledge as a language consultant to help those interested in learning to speak a foreign language.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children and seeing them get excited to learn new information. I feel that all children are very capable of learning, just some need that extra one on one attention that is not possible to receive in a classroom setting. I love that look on a child's face when they finally grasp a new concept. By helping a child learn you are really changing their future.
Even though I hold a business degree I have always had a love for working with children. As a college student I worked for two different families as a nanny, where I assisted a total of five children with their school work and projects among other things. After obtaining my BS in Finance from the University of Central Florida I went on to get married and work in a bank. It was shortly after that when I realized that my real passion was with children. When I became pregnant I left my banking position to b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 school level with my specialties being math, science, and reading. My last assignment was running a tutoring program at Sarasota Middle. I have a true passion for helping children and young adults succeed, and would like to help your children as well.
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 Socr ... read more

My style of teaching is relatively comparisons and having the student recognize the use of information as it is used daily. Thus, middle school math is my choice and computer science to instruct. I use tape measures, yard sticks, beakers, pie charts money, and all visuals such as: dam’s bridges, and buildings for measurements.
My experience working, as a project manager in construction has been a nontraditional rewarding career. I graduated from Marshall University in the field of Safety Technology. The knowledge acquired from my degree greatly enhanced my ability to perform jobs in the industry without losses due to injuries, at rate comparibly to industry standards. My experiance with children and teaching has been at the substitute level for a combined years of four, primarily middle school.

A Little Bit About Me...

After I graduated from college, I was hired to teach elementary school in Venice, Florida. While teaching in Venice, I also taught graduate classes for the University of LaVerne, LaVerne, California, in "Schools Without Failure". I have taught kindergarten through high school, plus I have taught at the graduate level in college. I have been a teacher in public and private schools. The majority of my tutoring has been done in the homes of the assigned students. At Florida State, I exempted all of my math classes. As a result, I have taken supplemental courses to help me tutor math, grades 1 through 12. I have also tutored higher science and English courses. I have tutored for the SAT/ACT/PSAT tests. I have taught French to elementary and middle school students during the past thirty years in Sarasota County. I taught French in classes during school and after school. ... read more

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.
