I am hard of hearing and I have used American Sign Language my whole life. ASL is my second language, used when I attended school and when I hung out with friends. I went to a school that offered ASL as a class and I took three years of ASL, skipping the first year. I was in the American Sign Language honor society and I graduated with the Laurent Clerc medallion. I signed the National anthem at school football games, and at my own graduation with a couple of other students as well. While in the honor society, I was required to go to an event and sign there, I signed a couple of shows at the Florida Aquarium. I am a very hands on type of teacher/tutor, I will have a white board and marker with me at all meetings. I am avid about 'Voice-off' since it's the best way to learn ASL. I like to do games as well since ASL is very expressive and the best way to learn it is to do it. I don't like

I have taken 2 semesters of ASL at the college level and frequently interact with the local Deaf community in Lakeland, FL. I have tutored 1 student privately in Spanish for 2 years, and she went from failing her class to passing both the AP and IB exams with a 5 and a 6, respectively. I have also tutored small groups in Spanish for one semester ranging from high school introductory level to AP level. I have also tutored for one semester of ASL at the college level, and one semester of Japanese at the high school introductory level. I aim for all tutoring to be done in the target language, but I recognize that this is unhelpful for many students. Nevertheless, I will start out only using the target language, but will switch to the students' preferred language upon request.

While attending Mississippi State University I tutored 3-12 graders. I tutored them in mathematics, English, and science. It was quite rewarding for me to work with these students because I was able to see immediate results. Not only in their work but also in their behavior. I was able to provide each of my students with personal attention that was necessary in order for them to grow. In addition, it brought me joy knowing that I was helping someone; a child, to achieve their goal. Following graduation at Mississippi State I continued tutoring in English and other subjects as needed. I love teaching and working with children. I believe that with love and nuturing each child can reach their full potential. My goal is to determine each child's strengths and to build on them. I will do this by getting to know each child on an individual basis - talking with them, conducting assessment testi

I believe that every student deserves their own personal attention. Every individual has their own learning style and relates to their teacher differently than anyone else. I find my productivity and enjoyment only comes from accomodating to each students personalities, goals, and learning style. I have a Master's in Anthropology and have spent 8 years in the field working case studies on the effects of domestic violence on children under the age of 16. I have also spent 4 years analyzing these effects and comparing them to the amount of children who move on to have violent and abnormal outburts of anger and rage.

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 am known for my enthusiasm and motivation. I am good at listening to my students and taking their interests and turn learning into a fun event! I understand where they are at and know where they need to get to (state standards). I encourage them by focusing on their strengths and making an "I CAN" folder...here are the items we will be focusing on so they can learn and progress. I am great at making connections and make learning real, fun and relevant to them. There has to be buy in! :-) I have taught school for fourteen plus years. I have taught everything from TMH/PMH, reading recovery, kindergarten, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade...with a wide range of abilities. One of my strengths has been to really "know" where my students are at so I can differeniate and teach them accordingly. I have tutored privately for the last four years with great success.

My goal is to make certain that I know each child's own particular learning style and use the tools to make him or her successful. I use a variety of strategies, especially in writing, to make certain that students know how to write successfully. I use several graphic organizers for teaching the writing process and work with students until they find one that is a good fit for their learning style. I also believe in incorporating technology to help them become better writers through the use of online materials as well. I believe in finding the best approach for the student to help achieve success. I have 14 years of teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary education in the fields of English/Language Arts, Social Studies/History, and a minor in French. I have taught English/Language Arts at every grade level in middle school and high school as well as the collegiate level.
