More About This Tutor...

Centers, Reading First, Everyday Math, Guided Reading and Phonics. I have a long resume of different programs I have been involved in teaching. I adore children having 2 grown children and five grandchildren. Teaching is a passion to me. I believe every child has the ability to learn with a loving and caring teacher.
I have taught all grades K-8 while tutoring after-school programs. Reading, Language Arts and Math. I have worked for the State Department in Mississippi training teachers both in Elementary and High School. Reading has always been the part of teaching that I seemed to have put my whole heart into. I have had some very high reading scores on the national reading test with my students.

More About This Tutor...

I have 18 years of experience at the middle school and junior high level teaching Language Arts, English, Reading and Mathematics. In addition to teaching, I served as Grade Level Faculty Team Leader, Newspaper Advisor, Florida Stock Market Game Advisor and was the recipient of the 1997 Florida Stock Market Game Distinguished Advisor Award. I also spent 6 years as the owner/operator of a direct mail advertising business. My most recent experience has been that of a recruiter for an online college that offers master’s degrees to teachers.
I would categorize my teaching style as that of a demonstrator or personal model. Students learn in so many different ways, but I feel that most everyone benefits by watching and then doing. I like to demonstrate to a student how to do a certain task or problem and then act as a coach to help the student apply what he has learned to accomplish tha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my college experience as a biology major. During my studies I found that my true love was not in the field of biology, it was in the field of teaching. I have experience with a varity of learner levels including regular education and special education. My experience also includes a variety of age levels between elementary and middle school. I am currently a middle school teacher and I have taught a variety of subjects. I have taught reading, science, history, language arts, math, and learning strategies. My experience in learning strategies has helped me discover the unique ways in which each individual is able to learn.
I believe that every child can learn. My job as a teacher and tutor/mentor is to discover which way will work best with each student. I am very patient and easy going. I believe in a reward system for all students. If students have something to wo ... read more

Following the birth of my third child, I taught at her pre-school and caught the teaching "bug". I then completed a graduate program in Elementary Education, taught for one year in the public school system in Florida and then taught for one year in Alabama. I have the ability to help children struggling in reading to make great strides and as a result, gain the self-confidence to do well in school. I believe in a "hands-on" approach as we all learn better by doing than watching. My goal is for a child to like school, like learning, and know he/she can do anything given a little hard work.
I believe a "hands-on" approach is the best way to retain knowledge given all learning styles. If we do it, we will remember it. If learning is considered fun, we want to do it and all subject areas can have an element of fun. Positive reinforcement within a structured environment is my sty ... read more

I love the written word and reaching people, so I ultimately chose to major in journalism. My love for teaching and instructing students led me to pursue my minor in education. In the past three years, I've tutored undergraduates in writing (grammar, composition, etc), graduate students (editing theses), proofing resumes and technical documents, and tutoring elementary and high school students in reading and basic math.
College students are difficult to work with because they think they know it all. This was a blessing in disguise because it taught me not only to learn different ways to tutor a student, but also to figure out through body language and little signals as to whether or not they were actually comprehending the information. Teaching is not just giving information and hoping they retain it. My teaching style consists of teaching, asking questions to ensure they know or u ... read more

Currently I teach 3rd grade in Pensacola, Florida. Prior to teaching full time, I worked as an in-home tutor locally. I enjoy each and every day with my students. It is my goal to assure that the students I work with are successful. I take pride in my job and want the best for my students. In addition, I enjoy building positive relationships with my students/clients. As your tutor I will do everything I can to help you/your child reach your(or) his/her goal.
As a teacher I am patient, driven, caring, and enjoy seeing children smile from success. I strive to make students feel comfortable and want to learn. From my past experiences with students of all ages and styles of learning, I feel that I am very understanding and willing to do what I can to help. If a child is provided what he/she needs to learn I feel that he/she will be successful! Learning is possible with a littl ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Our school accepts students from 12-17 and I work with students in each age/grade level. I helped create our school's After School Program and I currently run the program. This entails me working with girls on their own individual goals that span all grades, all learning levels, and subjects. Working with at-risk girls has taught me that anyone, no matter the age or circumstance, can learn and do well in school. An education can be the one factor that can change someone's life and I think every student deserves the chance and opportunity to do their best in school.
As a soon to be M.S. graduate, I have always been driven to aspire towards a high level of excellence in education. I have earned one bachelor degree, a B.A. in English, which has helped me to acquire a position at a non-profit school for At Risk girls. Due to my degree, I have excellent grammatical skills due to writin ... read more

In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both entertaining and beneficial, just as I believe that all students are capable of reaching new heights of academic excellence. All it takes is a little bit of patience and creativity on both sides, the teacher and the student, to have an unforgettable experience.
I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My clas ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching/tutoring while in graduate school. I tutored undergrads in sociology, psychology, and social statistics. I also taught driver's education to high school students while in grad school. After ten years working in law enforcement, I switched to social services and I have been mentoring children in foster care for the past twenty years.
I try to keep the material fresh and I avoid boredom and repetition at all costs. One of my best tools to connect with a young person is through humor. If the student feels relaxed they are more likely to absorb the information. I also use reverse psychology to turn the tables so they actually find themselves teaching me the material. This has been a successful tool with children I have mentored as well as my own children.

More About This Tutor...

I have always valued the importance of a quality education and have encouraged friends with no college ambition to start working on their degrees. I am not, however, an elitist. I think every endeavor is a learning experience, but there are basic skills that are necessary to be successful, such as grammar, spelling, and professionalism. My experience in formal teaching is mostly in college-level public speaking and coaching Little League, but I am a proficient and tedious writer. I am also familiar with APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, and BlueBook formatting styles. As a recreational scientist, as I like to call it, I have also learned a great deal about chemistry (mostly inorganic but some organic), biology, and anatomy and physiology.
I come into contact with a variety of different students with different areas of interest as a public speaking teacher. My teaching philosophy is to r ... read more
