I believe that the learner and instructor must work collaborative in order to be most effective. I believe in applied learnign which means that not only are the basics and mechanics necessary to form a foundation, but the learner must be able to see how the learning can benefit him or her now and in the future. I lean on case studies and items in the news to maximize interest in the learning program. Additionally, I am a consistent user of positive reinforcement. When the learner errs, I believe in facilitating their reasoning to discovering the best solution. I have been blessed with an inventoiry of skills that can apply across many topics: - Music - can teach singing and percussion - English - I am an author of 2 books, and have always been involved in editing and creative writing - Psychology - Much of my career has been based on managing human behavior - Speech - I am a profes

Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach. After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.

Have taken many professional communication courses that have enhanced my ability to communicate with colleagues, co-workers, classmates, and professors. Important life skill to be able to eloquently conduct yourself in a professional manner I truly believe in experiential learning as much as possible! However, sometimes this isn't always applicable. In others cases, I am a very visual person and like to teach with as many graphics and visuals as I can. I believe in trying to help students understand the "bigger picture" of a concept and then learning the details, rather than through memorization. I am a fun, bubbly person and like to make learning and studying as enjoyable as possible!

I have a lot of experience with children at that school since I was a volunteer there the entire time my daughter attended. Many children have short attention spans. It's important to keep them engaged. When reading, I challenge their retention skills in a fun way and encourage them to elaborate on the story. This breaks up the task and gives me feedback I need to guage how they are doing. Are retaining the informa

I believe in teaching study skills as well as offering general direction & encouragement. I believe that students must do their own work rather than being “spoon fed”. Preparing is important as this leaves the tutor free to engage with the student. Study space must meet the individual needs of the student. An agreed upon study plan helps to keep both student and tutor on track. Routine is crucial and appreciated by students. I work to find ways of helping a child internalize the value of learning ... “life-long” education is as much of an attitude as a process. It is as important to encourage effort as praising the end product. Children need to take personal pride in “doing the best that THEY can do.” I have worked with children the entirety of my career (20+ years) in some fashion or the other. They have been my passion and my calling in life. I have been a foster parent to teens, h

I have always enjoyed spending time and working with children. At a young age I helped my mother run an in-home daycare and I currently live with three younger cousins. I have spent countless hours assisting them with homework, provoking them to think creatively for school projects and helping them grow into responsible, smart and caring persons. I think every child has a special gift; you just need to help them find it. I feel that if you can find a way to spark interest in a subject and allow the student to relate their work to something they are passionate about, then they are destined to succeed. As a patient and kind person, it will be my goal to help my students strive to achieve their best work. I thank all of the educators in my life who have helped me along the way and I would love the opportunity to return that favor. Inspiring children to be proud of their work, knowing they g
