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

Over the years of my tutoring children, I have developed a certain way of approaching all my students. I believe that every child is unique and learns in a certain way. So when I first meet my student, I evaluate their favorite way of learning and the goals they and their parents want to achieve. Then I develop a easy to follow learning agenda that we will follow. Then I use multiple ways of teaching from using reading, writing, multiple examples, repetition, visuals, drawing, and flashcards. Throughout my students learning experience, I always make sure they are having fun while they are learning, so it's an education and fun experience for all my students. I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin, and had a very successful experience at college and grew through knowledge and great classes.

I have been teaching, volunteering and tutoring for 25 years. I owned an in home child care and wrote all the curriculum for 10 years. I have taught "Train the Trainer" classes for teachers in preschool and elementary school. I have worked for over a year with SES programs tutoring at schools, in homes, in the evenings and weekends. I've enjoyed working with kids who teach me as much as I teach them. I believe it takes a special talent and caring to teach kids when their home environment doesn't support learning. It also takes a special talent to deal with dire home conditions. I believe strongly in being nonjudgmental, respectful and supportive of the home culture. I work hard to discover each child's individual learning style and to write learning plans around not only their educational needs but their emotional and physical needs as well as their areas of interest. I try to provide ha

I try to make each lesson unique for my various learners. I have been known to teach in historical clothing, using props from the time period and a smattering of words in other languages. I also incorporate hands on learning such as crafts and some food making. I believe if a method is not working for my students, I change my approach. I also teach in language they are able to understand since their vocabulary is much different than what we spoke in 1970 as well as referneces current to them.

I feel that the relationship formed between tutor and student is as important as the information being taught. A sincere concern for people is the foundation for successful and influential teaching. I gladly spent extra time planning an English lesson if it allowed the student to connect better with the material. To keep interest levels high, I would teach a lesson and then create practice exercises around one of the student's favorite hobbies such as cooking, surfing, or music. These exercises aided comprehension and retention while providing a fun and enjoyable learning experience. I believe in challenging students, giving them the tools they need to meet that challenge, and watching them succeed! I recently graduated with the highest honors from the University of Florida. I double-majored in economics and international relations with a minor in business administration, giving me bot
