I have been a high school Spanish teacher for the past two and a half years here in Florida. Before that I taught English as a Foreign language to adolescents and adults at a language school in Mexico and I tutored children at an orphanage as well. I have substitute taught for two years in Ohio and I have tutored Spanish and English as well in Ohio. I have attended University for a year in Mexico studying Spanish during my undergraduate studies. I studied teaching English as a Second Language at the graduate level in Ohio for two semesters and it really improved my understanding of how to teach English by only using the target language. I have many materials and techniques to teach Spanish or English in an engaging style that works! I love vocabulary, grammar and games! I really believe that increasing student speaking time over teacher speaking time is the key when learning a new

Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to discover the best learning style suitable to their abilities. As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in add

In working with children I have learned that it is important to be excited about what you are teaching. That excitement is contagious and creates a desire to self learn and creates long term study habits. That excitement will be reflected in a students' progress as they gain more knowledge about a certain subject. My goal is to inspire a child to realize what they are able to accomplish through hard work and fun. During my years as an undergraduate student I took on extensive study habits that included working in study groups and tutoring other classmates who were struggling with material. In my undergraduate experience I have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend extensive material including math, physics, chemistry, and life sciences. As an honors student I was required to speak in front of large groups of people and explain complex subjects in areas that I had rese

I am very organized, being on task and requiring my students to be so. I enjoy helping students learn and expect students to use their time wisely and productively. When a student does not get a concept, I break it down in very small steps; thus, helping the child pinpoint where they are making errors and correcting them. I encourage students by giving both verbal and non verbal rewards, such as stickers, and small prizes. Students seem to respond to my teaching style, and I have had success in improving student scores on standardized testing. I have taught Kindergarten through 8th grade, in elementary ed, language arts, writing process, and social studies. I have tutored students in math and English, as well as worked in after school programs that focused on tutoring. I have graded over 1500 writing props for the State of Missouri, and have taught writing in school, as well

I do not possess any formal credentials in the areas of education. However, I have been teaching the difficult task of martial arts, coordination training, and goal setting to children of all ages as well as some with disabilities. I have made an extraordinary commitment to mentoring these fine children on my own since 2003 for the Cape Coral Police (PAL) for Youth Services. I have empowered these children’s lives through an amazing curriculum in which I devised, as well as a tutoring process to ensure good grades in education. I have more passion for the youth in our community than you probably realize. I teach these lessons as a volunteer, and I host clinics in self-protection for the youth and their families free of charge. I would love to further leave a mark on every life I touch from academics on. I hope that you consider me as your new team member. I have an outstanding following

I hold a BA in Early Childhood, studied Communications, and absolutely love teaching. I do not teach in a classroom, however, I teach in the corporate world, which has given me the opportunity to learn new challenges and achieve different goals. When I started my career teaching, I taught Pre K – 1st grade. When I decided to change careers, I didn't want to give up teaching completely; my passion is to help kids achieve their academic goals and boost their self-confidence. I've tutored students in English, mathematics (including Calculus), reading basics, writing skills, and computer learning programs. Sometimes a child's obstacle is not always an academic challenge. A truly talented educator looks beyond the letter grade and must genuinely understand the student as a person and his/her life. Don't we all respond to someone who truly cares about our well being and performance? I pre

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

I am a firm believer in research based teaching. I combine direct instruction with constructivist methods of teaching. I also take a humanistic approach to motivate my students to learn. I take the time to learn about my student's interests and background knowledge so I can tailor my instruction to each student's needs and interests as much as possible. I also believe in adding fun and humor to learning, which has made the learning experience a very positive one for my students. I have been teaching for six years. I currently teach third grade at Edgewood Academy in Fort Myers, FL. I hold my professional teaching certificate in Florida and I am a highly qualified teacher. I am currently a doctoral student at Novasoutheastern University. The focus of my research is on reading.

Students learn best when they are doing. My teaching is style is a mix of modeling, hands-on and critical thinking. Depending on the subject and age, I enjoy having students use manipulatives or answer small real-life dilemmas as to understand concept better. In lessons I have taught, I focus on the learning objectives and match strategies that will help bring the information in the best way to each student, depending on their learning styles and background knowledge. I also like to start with an inviting introduction to pique interests’ into students. I assess frequently to see how student are doing in a lesson (or where there needs to be improvement) by using simple observations to small meaningful activities.

I prefer a very one on one style where I can figure out where the student currently is in the subject. I like to try to cater my teaching style to each students personality so that learning can be easy and fun. I often tutored fellow students through my high school career. I mostly focused on Reading, English, History and Science. Rarely did I tutor in Mathematics. I received my Educational Paraprofessionals certification in May of 2009, scoring one point shy of perfect. The certification allows me to be a teachers assistant in side classrooms in Lee County Florida.

Every student can learn. It is my responsibility as a tutor to approach teaching with an open mind and explore various teaching methods in ways that make sense to the child. Every child is different and one method of learning does not work for every, single child. Learning needs to be made relevant to the child's life and worldview. During my coursework as an undergraduate student, I completed several hours devoted to art education, educational leadership and educational psychcology. I also completed the on-the-field teaching of art lessons to a mildly autistic elementary student for several weekly visits. In addition to my undergraduate experience, I was a teaching assistant for four college classes and I served as an instructor for a beginnning metalsmith course during my graduate studies.
