Experienced, Patient, Versatile Tutor

have been tutoring for many years. I tutored students of Math especially. All my students,passed their tests successfully, with no exceptions. Moreover, they all left me equipped with good problem-solving tools that have served them in their future careers. I am sensitive to the specific strengths and weaknesses of each individual student, and I expect the maximum from each. It will be fun working together. But it will require effort. I deeply believe that success earned by sweat is the most important gratification in one's life. Usually the student's motivation for the tutoring is the desire to succeed in a test. But I understand the learning experience as a long-time investment, from which the student will continue to benefit throughout life.

Students should be active learners, not passive recipients.

My teaching style is largely reliant on the principles of systematic and explicit instruction. When teaching a new concept or reviewing a concept that the student is struggling with, I like to begin with content with which the student feels comfortable and familiar. Thus, we can build up confidence and feelings of competence before we move on to harder material. In addition, I believe in the individuality of the learning process. Students learn in different ways and different paces, which I strive to consider and respect.

I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and then received my Master's degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Educational Technology. I have done extensive work in the technology department at our school and continue to work with SMART products teaching other teachers how to use technology in their classrooms.
I love teaching children using hands-on and interactive techniques. I am also a personal trainer in my spare time so I try to incorporate moving into lessons because I think children work well when they can move around and really apply what they are learning to something they really like to do. I use technology constantly in my teaching and have found that my students really apply themselves more when they enjoy the fun that learning brings!

I love teaching others and would be a very positive model for those who have a defeatest attitude in the very beginning. It is my motto "a person can be set up for success or be set up for failure". I choose success for myself and others because even the most minimal achievement can mean a great deal. I believe at different ages children can be inspired to do well with their education.
As a graduate of The Ohio State University I was very driven to assist other individuals whenever I could to complete their education and help them in any way I possibly could. Because I was a non-traditional student have had such great experiences at both the community and university level of education, I am very excited to help others with most subjects to help them succeed. I have a great understanding of English and a great comprehension for many other subjects, as well. I am very well vers ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher trainer for the past 7 years, I have taught teachers research based instructional strategies to help struggling learners as well as applied these concepts in my own classroom. Although I primarily caught art during my 17 year career, I also was interested in ways to help students learn reading skills. I was a volunteer tutor in the 1997-98 school year for a program called Reading Rescue that used research based strategies to help below grade level readers, taught remedial summer school program one summer, and have many in service hours of CRISS training.
I believe all students can learn but some need explicit strategies to be shown to them. Research shows students who fail often have less background knowledge, remember less, their attention wanders and they lack automaticity, the ability to recall basic facts. I have a tool box full of research proven strategies ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida from the College of Education with a BA in Elementary Education. I entered the ProTeach program during my junior year at UF. I have been exposed to a lot of teaching strategies and ideas that have been used in the classroom from the past until the present. I had the opportunity to use these practices in actual classrooms by developing lesson plans to teach elementary students. I have the experience of being the teacher in the classroom and working with students one-on-one with reading and math. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree at the University of Florida in Elementary Education. I’m doing a full-time internship this semester in a 2nd grade classroom in Alachua County.
