Sculpting Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Odessa, FL

I'm an artist/ educator, who sees no boundaries to where thinking and art forms should go. I enjoy all mediums of expression, each for its own ability to communicate and serve its purpose. Life is about experimenting and mistakes happen, but never let this get you down. I've failed many times and always learn and come back stronger than before. Enjoy the moment too, don't always be looking too far ahead.* 20 years of teaching of Art & Design (4 middle school, 9 high school, and 7 college level) Relaxed, but always thinking. Merging ideas and mind mapping to get the form down. I like to use many mediums to help achieve the desired effect. Brain storming - Research - sketching - production - Assessment - Recreate

As an artist I am a visual learner, so I teach in that manner. I like to first teach the fundamentals of art such as perspective and proper proportions, how to draw from life, and a great understanding of color theory. Teaching these then allow no boundaries for personal creation and self expression. I will have a print out of the course and mini lessons to complete throughout the week as well as a materials list. Currently an art instructor at Painting with a Twist, where fun and fine art collide. I have experience with teaching all ages how to conquer a 16x20 canvas painting in 2 hours.

Although I believe the FCAT is a test that demands respect, I do not teach to the FCAT. My instruction is differentiated for each child and if they are able to give me more, I push them to their ability. My goal for my students is to teach to the highest level they excel in using a variety of methods........I want my students to be well-rounded in their abilities, not just able to pass a test. When I work with your child, they will look word to seeing me and I will look forward to watching and helping them grow. The best part of all is that their skills all build on one another and the difficulty to tackle new concepts is not as threatening to them because I leave them with tools in hand. I look forward to making a difference! As an educator that has taught in both the private and the public schools systems for the last 19 years, I have learned a great deal.....the child must always

Every student benefits from a special teaching style, dependent on the students' way of learning. I am best with teaching elementary school math using tricks and tools they may not get to learn in a typical classroom setting. I find it best when I ask a series of questions in the beginning to evaluate their knowledge. From there we determine the best way to learn. Sometimes students need help with discipline to memorize information. Sometimes students need material explained to them in a different way for it to "click". I will be there for them until they achieve their goal! I have worked as an elementary school substitute teacher for the past three years. I have substituted in math, science, music, language arts, etc. While teaching grades k-5, I have earned my teaching certification. In the summer of 2008, I tutored a second grader in math and had her dividing and multiplying in to tim

I love teaching children. I know from my experience everyone learns in different ways, but everyone can learn to their fullest potential if given the chance. I make learning fun and enjoyable for the child so that they understand what they are learning. I believe in teaching with visual, hearing, and hands on tactic. I like to see the expression on a child’s face when they have found the “AH-HA” moment. I like to make a difference in everyone’s life I touch. I currently hold an accredited teaching certificate. I also have graduated from the University of Tampa with a Bachelor in psychology and art. I have experience working and teaching children for 10 years. I have taught swimming for ten and I taught preschool for one year. As I started my career life my first job was working with developmentally disabled population teaching art and then being promoted to the program coordinator. I a

I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and certified K-8. After 3 years of teaching I went out to earn a Masters degree in Reading from Baldwin Wallace College. I taught for 8 years in a first grade classroom. During that time, my classroom was filled with a variety of children with a variety of learning styles. I was lucky enough to have hosted the inclusion classroom and the gifted children throughout my years of teaching which enabled me to adapt my lessons in a multitude of ways so each child had the ability to learn. I enjoy working with children and watching them achieve their goals. I help children achieve their goals, by teaching to their learning style whether it is tactile, visual, auditory, and physical or a combination. It is important to first understand the child’s needs and abilities and then create a lesson pla

I love teaching all age groups of children. I know that every child is capable of not only learning a subject, but being successful at understanding and applying the subject material. I use a hands on approach, looking to see what strengths and opportunities a child has to offer and working to improve the child’s ability to learn the subject. I believe that children respond better to learning when they realize someone cares about not only them, but what they think. When a child is able to recognize that you value them and their opinion, it opens up a whole new door of learning for them Being a business student required many hours of research and writing. As I went further and further into my major it became increasingly important that my information was both current and accurate. This made me focus on being able to find, translate, and relate multiple pieces of information into a context

As a student at the University of South Florida I had a minor in Leadership studies. With this minor I was able to take course that allowed me to work in the community with less fortunate kids. I volunteered for a semester as a tutorer at Elemenatry School. I help the kids inccrease their reading levels. I believe that all kids learn differently. Some may like things to be explained visually while other may perfer them verbally. So my approach is to use a variety of techniques in order to reach the different students. I believe that games are a good way to teach kids and to incorperate competition so that kids will learn to strive for the best and to be the best. I know that I can make learning educational and fun so that kids will learn.

I have always been interested in helping others, sharing knowledge, and teaching. In the fall of 2000, I began my early childhood education undergraduate studies in Puerto Rico. In 2005 I changed my major to elementary education, consecutively obtaining a BA degree (in January of 2007) and finally graduating with Summa Cum Laude (in June of 2007).I am currently certified by the state of Florida in elementary teaching (K-6), CPR (for infants, children and adults), and basic first aid. My long term goals consist in keep growing professionally by obtaining a master’s degree in a nearby future. I believe that all teacher's should have high expectations of each one of their students. I enjoy doing this, because this is their daily encouragement. I enjoy teaching students through hands on activities because it engages them more into the topic that I am teaching. They are my motivation to keep

I have worked with a variety of students at varying levels. My motivation comes from finding ways to present the materials differently such that they make sense to those who are struggling to grasp them. I am willing to review a concept 100 different ways if that is what it takes to find the way it makes sense to the student because everyone simply learns a bit differently. I believe that learning should not be forced or stressful but rather exciting and empowering. I have a great deal of patience and am willing to try multiple methods to help students discover the joy that is learning. As a high school student I tutored fellow students in both geometry and algebra I courses. As a college student I have developed a keen understanding of the social sciences and worked as a tutor for a 4th grade student to help her develop her language skills.

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned a BS degree in Education and Business. While interning at Gainesville High School I learned that understanding teen-agers was the key to teaching. Students are sometimes confused that education and goal setting are much more important than social satisfaction/needs. Key here is to listen, learn and be patient with the student to grab their needs and utilize their strenths. Thank you. When you figure out the motivational and emotional needs of a child, teaching becomes easier but still a challenge. When a student can grasp the basics/core of a subject and really absorb this beginning information, we can move forward using their abilities of discovery regarding the subject. I look forward to assisting in the future of their educational development. Thank you.

After volunteer tutoring at my daughters’ schools, I was determined to study teaching to have a better understanding of children with special learning needs. As a private college student, I was very motivated to obtain superior grades and I maintained an average G.P.A. of 3.50+ while caring for my children and home. As I began teaching I was involved in extensive professional development courses through each school district I worked. While working with many different teachers I aquired extensive amounts of content knowledge and teaching strategies in elementary education, biology, English, American government, world cultures and economics. As evidenced by my experiences, I enjoy teaching students on many different ability and grade levels. My students found me to be laid back and understanding with high expectations. I believe each student has a unique gift to offer but it takes enco

I'm a recent graduate with my BA in History with a Minor in Political Science and mentored students in before/after school programs for the past six years. Throughout my studies I have acquired a ubiquitous amount of knowledge in how vital education and structure is to every culture. Furthermore, I have learned critical thinking, grammatical, and public speaking skills through writing and presenting numerous independent research projects. I believe knowledge is the key to success and without that key the future will never be unlocked. My goal is to pass that key onto the next generation as it was passed onto me. I'm humble; understanding, firm, encouraging and I believe in learning through “trial and error.” My style is to guide students by providing them the key fundamentals and allowing them to blossom to surpass their full potential. Success only comes before work in the dictionary.
