I have been active in all aspects of education over 20 years. I enjoy working with students and seeing them succeed in what they desire. I have worked with elementary through high school age students preparing them for their next transition. I have taught Language Arts/English skills to kids in elementary through high school. I have tutored kids in English and Learning Strategies. I have worked with ESOL and ESE students--and feel comfortable with them. Students learn differently, as a teacher it's my responsibility to learn how each student learns and teach accordingly. I have found students who are active in learning are more productive than those who aren't engaged. I like to involve students in the learning process. I am creative and capable of applying situational learning to ensure students comprehend the concepts being taught.

I can help your child be successful. I take time to listen and understand each student first. Determining what kind of trouble they are having and what type of personality they have helps me make a decision about how to move forward. I establish a rapport with each student so they understand that I know what it’s like to have difficulty and I’m there to help them. Most kids have trouble concentrating, I like to keep them focused while still having fun. I ask questions to encourage students to talk. I use creative approaches, fun memory techniques and different ways to think about the subject so they have tools they can use. I love working with kids and enjoy the challenge of helping them be successful. I spent ten years as a substitute teacher for middle and high school. I volunteered to assist teachers. I did this because my son had difficulty learning. I worked with him until he

Having spent the first 15 years of my sales career working with and teaching non-native English speakers I realise that listening skills, patience and empathy are three of the most important qualities that an effective teacher must possess. Minds are like sponges that absorb whatever they are immersed in, but at different rates, so it's important to understand that all students learn in different ways and progress at different rates, therefore flexibility and patience are absolutely required so the teacher can maximize their students' learning experience. I have spent the past 25 years in the field of direct-sales and sales-management. The nature of my products required a "consultative" selling style with an emphasis on teaching my clients. I had sales agents in various countries who had to be trained in the technical details of our equipment as well as their operation. Our agents were n

I recently received my BS degree from University of Florida and am very interested in tutoring students in science and mathematics. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in life sciences through writing laboratory reports, conducting laboratory data analysis, and reading scientific journals. After completing my degree I entered pharmacy school at Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have informally tutored at University of Florida's tutoring lab in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, biology, and chemistry. I have a "can do" attitude and have a passion for mentoring since I have always been personally guided by my mentors. I believe that everyone can acheive full academic success through hard work. I understand that everyone comes from a diverse background, yet everyone posesses the same mental capability to succeed academically. I belive in the "can do - must do" attitud

Teaching for me is a form of life. The students I taught were 16 to 20 years old, and adults. My aim has always been to help my students to become professional, independent and self-conscious persons supporting tolerance and democratic society. Furthermore I aim to teach students organizational skills and methods to learn. Methods of teaching vary according to the subjects and classes. I am cleared by Palm Beach County Schools to tutor their students through the No Child Left Behind program. After completing my studies of Economics I taught Statistics, Business, National Economics, and social sciences as an adjunct professor in Berlin colleges: Freie Universität Berlin and Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin. For four years I was employed in a private company as an Import-Export Manager. The last 26 years I taught Economics, Business, Math, German, Social Studies, Computing, and most of

I am patient, flexible, enthusiastic and friendly. I put the student first; the syllabus second. I do not want to lose the student and will backtrack to consolidate the fundamentals. I strive to avoid talking down to the student but rather encourage him/her with what they have to offer. I emphasize positives. My approach is explanatory rather than judgmental. As a Ph.D. level student in Sociology (ABD) with all exams passed, I have 2 years of successful formal teaching experience at the college level. In research papers I have demonstrated excellent grammar and writing skills. My linguistic training includes 5 years of Latin all of which makes me a very language conscious person. I have tutored students in German, English, French, Sociology/Anthropology. Furthermore I have extensive exposure to Korean, Thai, and Japanese. My multilingual training has sensitized me to inference-related

All children can learn. I believe that positive reinforcement is a key factor when teaching. Children have different learning styles and abilities. I taught in the N.Y.C school system. I have a strong art background and used a lot of art in my lesson plans. I taught various subjects such as special education, gifted and talented and gym. I also have experience with pre-k.

My style of teaching consists of two parts: first, to understand and visualize the concept and the problem; and second, doing the mechanics of problem solving. I prefer to work with the basic equations rather than memorizing the variations of the formula. I work with examples. I work as a civil engineer and geophysicist. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Physics and BS in International Business which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During my college years I was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant serving as assistant to a class in physics courses; I have also tutored adults and teenagers in physics, mathematics, and sciences in private classes.

My teaching style is a combination of humor, question and answer, life experience, and history. I treat my students as adults. I follow the road, but go with the flow; no battle plan survives the first shot. There are many paths to learning. I never assume mine is the only way. Teaching is as much about learning as it is teaching. I listen to what my students have to say, and respect the opinions they have. I value honesty and set an example by admitting what I don’t know. My job is to discover, inspire and develop wisdom. Every teacher has been surprised by some brilliant insight expressed by a "low" performing student. It happens everyday. I’m convinced every student has a particular wisdom we just have to find, and encourage it. I've been a full time substitute teacher in the Martin County School District since 2007. During 2008-2009, I was a permanent substitute at Stuart Middle S

I tutored a 10 year boy in all subjects for about 2 years Monday through Friday which was a fantastic experience; he is now at Baylor University in Texas. I substituted 5th and 6th grade and tutored one-on-one students whom required additional assistance. I recently tutored the FCAT curriculum to students ages 8-15 as well as foreign students and a child with ADHD. The positive feedback from the parents and students has made this position enjoyable. I first assess the child's knowledge (test them) and their study routine. Following, I create an individualized plan of study for him/her. What material does the child enjoy? How would he/she like to study? My goal is to create a fun learning environment therefore the child retains the information and wants to continue to learn. Games, pneumonic, songs, dice, cards, etc. are a part of my teaching style.
