As a teacher, I realize many students need exra help to comprehend their course material. I enjoy giving that extra help and working with the student to determine which style of learning best suites them. It is possible for every student to succeed. It is my goal not only to have the student understand the material but to enjoy the process. I explain and show the concepts to the student in a clear easy to understand way. I encourage my students to participate in the learning process. My greatest joy is to see the light in a student's eyes when they "Get it". As a private school teacher I hav taught all the math,science, and history courses at the middle and high school level. I have also tutored college Algebra and Trigonometry. Math is the subject I love teaching the most. I am very proficient in teaching all levels of math,science and history. I also have experience in teaching grade

I believe instructors should be fair and knowledgeable in order to be effective educators. I believe allowing students to have some flexibility and leadership in their own learning makes a more enthusiastic and motivated student. I believe instruction should be purposeful, meaningful, and appropriate for what each student is required and capable of attaining. I also use assessments (formal and informal) to measure and adjust learning goals for all students regularly. I have taught elementary through high school special education as well as regular education course loads. I have experience in alternative school settings, juvenile justice, and public school, as well as GED prep work. I regularly integrate technology into instruction and attend professional development opportunities when they are provided.

My goal is to provide the best education possible. I would use all the learning styles while tutoring a person to evaluate and develop the learning style which best fits the individual. I believe anyone can learn and have fun doing so, it is the teacher or his style or any combination which hinders the student. I am a college graduate with degrees in finance and real estate. Through the years I have educated myself through higher learning in all areas of academics. Years ago I performed all the requirements needed to graduate a four year college, one of which is interaction with other students in a study group atmosphere and either learning or teaching each other. I have always loved learning and teaching people which I believe qualifies me to tutor young people.

As I indicated, I have a B.A.in Philosophy and later studies in Art. Later, in 1975, I decided to return to obtain a DMD at BU. After that I joined the Army and served as an Army dentist. Due to events in my life following my brief sojourn in the Army, I traveled abroad to India and Asia. Upon returning, I continued to study, but this time in more spiritual matters. I currently live with my daughter and 3 grandchildren and we have a small family registered daycare. I also participate with the children. However, I do spend a few hours a day writing and I am also a webmaster. Of the essence in tutoring is to make the subject pertinent and fun, as well as applicable to everyday life. For small children, we have phonetics to help the child master sounds and words. I do use Ipod teaching games to involve the child actively. Obviously for older children, who may have trouble expressing them

I have learned to apply various teaching methods to reach each student individually. It doesn't matter how smart I am, a master of the subject or my business successes. It matters that they get what they can out of the subject. Even how to take a test or to test the reasonableness’ of the answer. Seeing the "light go on" is a great validation to me as a teacher. Also knowing I have helped them grow and have the tools to succeed in the world. I taught nights at Prospect Hall College in Hollywood for 4 years. 1-2 courses per quarter. They awarded AA degrees in computer programming, business administration and others. I taught accounting I & II, personal income tax, managerial accounting, business administration, bookkeeping and public relations. I did tutor my grandson last year for 4 months while his family stayed with us. Algebra was one of the courses. I can pick up programs and apply t

I have a natural gift for working with children. I am a good listener. I am very patient with those I teach. I try to find out what they need to learn and how they can best hear and understand the informantion. I meet them where they are and try to excel them from there to reach their goals. I also try to inspire them to want to learn and to appreciate their own unique skills and challenges. My educational and work experience backgrounds have provided me with proficient skills in math, organization, multi-tasking, computers and various software programs. Since 1992, I have taught subordinates, peers, managers and directors how to manage their budgets, understand their financial reports, and how to use their computers more effectively. For the past four years I have taught medical assistant students in the subjects of using a computer in the office and business ethics. I continue

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in". I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing. I have learned many skills, especially High Yield Instructional Strategie

I love to interact with somebody who is curious and interested in the subject, no matter what the subject. In mathematics, I believe in a very thorough and conceptual understanding of the subject, which enhances one's ability to use the knowledge in real-world settings, not just memorization of formulae and equations. Understanding, rather than memorization, is also crucial for the student who will continue to learn more advanced subjects in mathematics. At my undergraduate program, my professor for a course in Symbolic Logic asked to refer students in the class to me, if they had questions about the material. After the class had finished, the professor hired me through the university's Philosophy Department as a tutor for the same class. After graduation, I acted as a private tutor in my spare time. At Columbia University I was a Teaching Assistant for three college courses, giving

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 School. During 2009-2010, I was given a five-month assignment as an ESE facilitator. In that capacity, I tutored students one on one, administered and modified their assessments, wrote progress reports and took part in conferences with their parents. I’m regularly given VE and gifted classroom assignments and have established a reputation as an effective educator. 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

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 graduated, he’s doing great and tested out of college math through geometry. I have an AA degree from FL Community College with additional classes in Education from UNF. I’ve taken further courses from Flathead Valley CC in Montana on learning disabilities & strategies to overcome them. I have gained a great deal of insight on helping kids learn & achieve success. I was the most requested substitute in Columbia Falls, MT because I was highly successful with kids. I am most effective in teaching basic math through algebra II. 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 hav

I really do not have a teaching style yet. A one on one setting is what I am used to. I am open to different teaching techniques depending on the help the child requires. The internet is available and has many different techniques to learning different subjects I can research as I see fit. I have just received my BA in E-Business management with a minor in Criminal Justice. I am beginning my Masters in Criminal Justice in March and will continue to a Dr. in the same field when possible. I do not have professional experience teaching however I have experience tutoring my niece who I have been responsible for since she was 5. She is now 12 and a straight A student.

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 the time English as a foreign language in OSZ Handel Berlin, a comprehensive college for subjects related to trade and commerce. 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
