My comments on tutoring Special Education : Homeschooled 4 children over ten years. Room mom for five years. Adjunct Reading and Art teacher at both private and public schools for ten years.

My teaching style is to develop a student’s love of learning, rather than promoting rote memory. Relaxed, fun, collaborative lessons with a unit study-type engagement are her preferred methods of instruction.
I have enjoyed a life-long love of learning and consider it my service to share this with both my own children and others. Below are listed education, experience, qualities and skills I possess. Rhonda Gatewood Bio Rhonda Gatewood, mother of four, has been homeschooling since 2003. She received her B.S. in Biology with an interdisciplinary minor in Chemistry and Mathematics from Florida State University where she went on to earn an M.B.A. in Business Administration. Prior to homeschooling, Mrs. Gatewood worked in the agricultural industry for ten years, specializing in tissue culture laboratory production. Currently, her family owns and operates an indoor ornamental ... read more

I believe that children can learn in many different ways. I am constantly researching different ways and techniques I can use in the classroom to better assist each student. I try to mix traditional teaching methods with fun games, facts, and activities that help to engage the learner. I have been told by many of my students that they still do not like English, but they love having me as their English teacher.
English has always been my best subject. It was natural for me to major in English Education when I decided to go back to college. I believe that when I teach English, I make it fun but most importantly, understandable. I love reading and reviewing the different genres that this subject covers, especially short stories and novels. I have taken several workshops to help improve my ablility to teach writing and to help students prepare for the FCAT Writing Exam. However ... read more

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 whole group studious conditions. At all academic levels at Elmira College, I helped students to succeed at their scholarly endeavors. As a parent, I guided own daughters to be successful learners. This makes me an excellent candidate to help the next generation to be set on the pathway to thrive in their life vision.
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 stra ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 a bachelor degree in Human Development and Family Studies, which certif ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 prov ... read more

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.
