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. 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 am a recent Bachelor of Science in Child Studies graduate of FGCU and hold a current FCCPC. I am considered a non-traditional graduate (which in my case means older), and I bring with me a range of personal and professional experiences that have developed and enhanced my capacity for learning, teaching, and adaptability. My primary interest in learning is focused on the social-emotional and cognitive influences that create the optimal conditions for brain function during the learning process. Providing both the necessary supportive social-emotional environment through positive guidance as well as the cognitive stimulation that physical, sensory, and creative and artistic activities produce are fundamental to implementing a brain-based learning approach, and I am trained to integrate hands-on activities across the curriculum and learning domains that relate to real world experiences.

As high school teacher in public alternative schools, I had many students with moderate disabilities. Continue to take classes and pursue Professional Development opportunities to stay current in latest scholarship and best practices for ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, RADD, ODD, and brain injury. I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. After attending (an

I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i

My career in education has spanned over 17 years and has included teaching in Special Education and regular education. I have a BS Degree in Special Education and a Masters Degree in Education. I have taught from preschool age to high school age in both Florida and New York. I am certified permanently in New York and held previous certification in Florida. I have also tutored in homes and in the public schools. I especially enjoy tutoring, as the environment and teacher-student ratio is much more conducive to student success. Because of my background in Special Education, I have learned to adapt curriculum to the individual levels and learning styles of my students. I have also learned that there are many creative ways to make learning more inviting for students. I have adapted many subjects to games and activities that students enjoy while learning. I have a patient spirit with stu

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 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.

My strong commitment to my students, my belief that they can and will succeed, my depth of background knowledge and experience along with my broad-based skill set, strong rapport with students, and my love of teaching, promotes academic success. It has been such a joy over the years to watch struggling readers finally “crack the code” and learn to read. In my retirement years, I would love the opportunity to continue to make a real difference in a youngster’s life. Before retiring this past January, I had worked in the field of special education for over 33 years in Connecticut in both public and private schools. My experience ranges from self-contained special education classrooms to resource rooms. My primary training and area of expertise, however, is with Learning Disabled students with severe reading disabilities. I am trained in the Wilson Reading Program, Orton-Gillingham Pro

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 be a stay at home mom. Since then I have had four children and currently subsitute teach for Sarasota County School Board. 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

I recently moved to Florida after working in an urban school for 3 years. Prior to working in a school as a School Social Worker and Special Education Director I directed an afterschool program for juvenile boys on probation. I have had extensive experience with special education students. I have been trained to work with difficult students including behavioral modification. Previous work includeds School Social Worker, teacher assistant and tutor. I currently working part time as a Child and Family Therapist. I believe that every child can learn. I love working with children and finding the style of learning that best fits them. I see learning difficulties instead as learning challenges that can be overcome. I take a creative, goal oriented approach and love to see students achieve their best.

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 school l

I graduated Central Connecticut State University with a bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education/Human Growth and Development with a concentration in English. Through my coursework I was able to develop the necessary skills to deliver lessons in all areas of general education for elementary school grades. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare facilities and after graduating college I taught Kindergarten for 2 years in a private school. This past school year I was a tutor in Connecticut and successfully helped children raise their reading, mathematics and science levels. I have always loved working with children. I’m a strong believer that the most successful teachers are the ones who are able to recognize how their student learns and find ways to adapt the teaching style so that the child can be successful. In order to do this it is important for the teacher student rel
