CLAST Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Okeechobee, FL

My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies, techniques, and skills that will direct them on the path to help my pupils to want to succeed and to have the desire to victorious in their dreams and perceive the idea that life is predetermined by where you are; instead, they catch a glimpse of who, what, and where they can go in the creation to develop a dream. I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and who

I have been trained and always believed that all students can learn, under the right instructional forms. I use a variety of teaching styles to reach all of my students. Hands on, power points, lectures, movies, worksheets, diagrams, and even realouds provide learning for each individual in a different way. Exposing these learning methods to all students helps them find the best choice for them, while learning to learn through other methods. After graduating from high school, I felt that I could return to the high schools to provide a more engaging, caring education to many more students. Throughout the past fifteen years, I have taught various levels from gifted to varying exceptionalities, coached several sports, and enjoyed participating in many after school clubs and organizations. Since completing my masters degree, I want to continue to educate as many students as possible to

I love spending time with children and teaching them new things. It is exciting to see children learn and make progress in school. When dealing with a child that I do not know, I like to have them talk. I think talking to children about anything, not just school, can help form a relationship with them. I also like the parents to be involved and know what their child is struggling with and what exactly they expect from me.From experience, I have realized that some teachers might teach in a way that makes it difficult for some students to learn.A tutor may be a solution to this problem. I have an Interdisciplinary Social Science degree from the University of South Florida. While attending college, I worked as a nanny/tutor for 2 years. My time involved tutoring a young boy in all school subjects in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Not only did I help him with homework, but I also helped him lear

Each person, regardless of race, religion or socio-economic background is entitled to and should not be denied an education. Children should learn appropriate skills in the age-appropriate environment, and should be challenged to meet and achieve higher learning practices. Learning methods vary depending on how individuals perceive and utilize information; therefore various tools of learning should be implemented to facilitate various needs. I rely on tested theories and practices, advice from peers and implement my own personal means of conveyance. Learning is not only achieved through lessons, assignments and evaluation, but by diversified means such as respect, caring and a true love of the teaching profession. My teaching experience got its roots by substituting for the Martin County School District while attending Florida Atlantic University in pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree. Af

I taught high school for one year and middle school for a year and a half. I was certified to teach social studies 6-12, though I have let my certification expire. I have worked with middle school students for the past four years in an administrative and service capacity. I am an ex-Member of the Florida House of Representatives and have informally many students at the middle school level. My degree is is in Business, but my passion is social studies and reading. Teaching is enjoyable to me, but the bureaucracy of the school systems is not. I believe that there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to helping students learn. My children attended Montessori school during their elementary school years, and benefitted greatly from that method of education. They were treated as individuals and it well prepared them for the next steps in their educations. One of my children is a Jud

I believe all children can succeed with a supportive, firm, and caring teacher to instruct them, support them, and help build their confidence. I am calm, caring, easy-going, and positive. I enjoy teaching and seeing your child grow and learn things he or she may not have thought possible.

I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need. I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of need.
