Have worked with several students and teachers in preparation for both the Mass. and Fl. certification exams--General Knowledge and English (content and pedagogy). After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned a BS degree in Education and Business. While interning at Gainesville High School I learned that understanding teen-agers was the key to teaching. Students are sometimes confused that education and goal setting are much more important than social satisfaction/needs. Key here is to listen, learn and be patient with the student to grab their needs and utilize their strenths. Thank you. When you figure out the motivational and emotional needs of a child, teaching becomes easier but still a challenge. When a student can grasp the basics/core of a subject and really absorb this beginning information, we can move forward using their abilities of discovery regarding the subject. I look forward to assisting in the future of their educational development. Thank you.

I love teaching and after twenty years experience in education, still am at it! I believe in differentiated instruction, so I modify assignments and assessments to meet the learning needs of each student. I am a very patient, enthusiastic and fun teacher. I believe in appealing to students' interests, since we learn best when we are motivated by personal investment in the topic. I try to appeal to students' multiple intelligences, bringing in art and music to the learning process. I have almost 10 years working as an elementary classroom teacher, elementary reading specialist, middle school reading specialist, and middle school English teacher. In addition, I have worked in educational assessment for state departments of education and for testing corporations.

During my time as a student in the University of Florida's Proteach Program I had many opportunities to work in various classroom settings and ultimately receive a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in children's literature. Since my graduation in 2003, I have worked as a fourth grade teacher, a middle school teacher in a Montessori school, and an adjunct professor at St. Petersburg College. I have also worked as a private tutor. I have a strong background in literature and writing and feel prepared to work with students at every level. Maria Montessori, one of the most powerful women in the foundation of educational philosophy, once said "Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” Each child must be seen as the individual that they are. Special attention needs to be placed on a child's growth both physically and emotiona

During all of my years of high school and college, I was very motivated and always strive to do my best. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education where my major is Math and minor is Science. Being an Elementary Education graduate, I have experience in all different academic areas, as well as experience in effective teaching methods and strategies. Also, I really enjoy Math and Science and have knowledge in many areas of those two subjects. After my student teaching, I was a substitute teacher for grades K-12 for about a year before I moved to Florida. Teaching is one of my biggest passions. My student teaching experience in a second grade classroom was the most memorable experience I had during my years in college. I believe that all children have different ways of learning and I feel that I can meet the needs of every child. Since all

When I lived in Brasilia-DF, Brazil I was the director, coordinator, teacher trainer and student advisor for Instituto Cultural America - a language Institute for Brazilian students/exchange program students to the United States - and I simply loved my work as I love making a difference in children's (and adult's) lives by educating, exploring, showing, providing, drawing out and bonding with my student's future, endeavors and education. I have noticed, in my 30 years of teaching, that students really need to bond with their teachers in order to believe that believing and learning is possible! I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to an American father and a Brazilian mother. When I was 6 years old, my mother remarried a Brazilian diplomat and I spent many years traveling, living and studying abroad. In 1964 we settled down in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I completed my studies and p

I love working and learning with students of all ages. I enjoyed working in a magnet high school that concentrates on leadership, career development, and breaks the mold teaching methods. I earned a Masters degree in Library Information Science and now work as a School Librarian and Technology Coordinator. Elementary school libraries/tech labs are a happening place! During these years, I also worked as an in home tutor through Get Smart, tutored with Sylvan Learning Center, and shared a classroom with another high school English teacher at Night School. I find it very satisfying to work with students as they supplement their education. A positive environment and methodology is very important in the learning experience - especially if that learning experience is rooted in frustration. I do my best to connect the concept to a student's personal experience so they may relate and build co
