Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent through her citizenship exam practice. Another was when I prepped a friend for a lifeguard exam that she had failed twice. Seeing my students of all ages succeed is a joy. My motto is if at all possible, I want to ma

I love teaching and working with all children. All children can learn, but each in a different way. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and adapting as needed. In my Sunday School classroom I have used a wide variety of materials and resources, implemented an effective classroom behavioral management program, and emphasized positive reinforcement techniques. I am patient, easy going, considerate and available to help your child find academic success. I have had the opportunity of working with children as 4th grade reading tutor, Alachua County School Board for one school year. Since then worked with elementary aged children on a weekly basis for the past 30 years by teaching Sunday School. My personal inspiration is to make a difference in the lives of children. Earning a BA degree in Psychology, minoring in English, along with my work experience has enabled me to develop

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow. As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teaching s

Every instructor brings a variety of personal knowledge and experience to their profession. During my ten years as an instructor of Special Education, I have taught a wide spectrum of subjects and grade levels. (Elementary, middle, high school math, English, reading, science, daily living skills, career preparation and experience). I am currently teaching mainstream math -- FCAT preparatory. In addition to my teaching assignments, I have continued my own educational growth through graduate level courses, training workshops and in-services. All of this upper education and training has proven successful through my ability to teach heterogeneous classes. In previous years, I have tutored students through the home-bound program in areas of math, English, science, and history. I recently particpated as an instructor of math through the Florida Virtual School. I enjoy teaching and I have a

Every child has personal strengths and weaknesses. Enabling children to believe in themselves is crucial to their success. I was told as a child I couldn't carry a tune, and to this day I am afraid to sing out loud in church. I understand how important a child's feelings are, and am very patient. I believe in interaction with the student, not just telling or showing them how to do a task. Providing an atmosphere in which a child is comfortable in asking questions and saying "I don't know" is essential. I have a Masters Degree in School Psychology, and 24 years of experience in assessments/interventions of children with learning difficulties. I retired as a School Psychologist in June of 2010, and am already missing working with children. I have spent time in the classroom observing teachers and have knowledge of the curriculum. Between earning my bachelor and master's degrees, I enr

My teaching styles is one of me being the facilator and the student being the participant. Therefore their success is a team effort. I have come to see that this approach has helped students I have worked with get the most out of their education. It has to be all about the student being the best they can be academically. If they become a full participant in the learning process they will be more willing to learn more. This is the motivation for me to continue to be an educator. I process degrees in school guidance counseling and human services. My work experience include teaching at the college level, a former school administrator and teacher. These positions have equipped me to tutor children at their current academic level. When taking the approach of partnering with students in their academic journey, it is recipe for success. This method of instruction encourages the student to

Hands on! I taught (and LOVED) K through 3rd grade self-contained EMH students (ranging from autistic to learning disabled, all speech-language impaired). I was trained in and have used the Great Leaps Reading Program, and have an entire library of resources and supplemental material to help teach special learners (particularly in the area of reading development). I enjoy the elementary level, and LOVE the energy involved in teaching that population. I am very hands on and use a variety of teaching styles to reach all learners, and believe learning should be FUN! After graduating college, I worked at a local children's shelter as the Director of Outreach and Prevention. Through this position I was allowed to work with at-risk children in the Marion County School System (through an interagency agreement). In an attempt to reduce truancy, our agency focused on literacy and tutored childre

I have taught for three year in county schools and have spent a year as a paraprofessional. I also spent a year teacin an alternative school. I was nominated for rookie teacher of the year at Howard Middle school in 2008-2009. I ams a very hands on teacher. It is very important to make sure each skill is mastered before you move to the next one. I am always positive with my students. The most important qualities in a teacher are patience caring and making the lesson attractive to the student.

I feel very strongly about a differential approach to my teaching methods. I believe every child is different and learns differently then the next child. I feel confident in developing a lesson plan that can be diverse enough to meet each and every child’s gifts and disadvantages. My life is dedicated to teaching and I hope that I will be able to teach for a very long time. My hopes are to eventually acquire a PhD in Education. I have attended CFCC and FCCJ. I am currently attending Liberty University for my Bachelor in Education. I have been teaching for about 7 years and through that time I have learned an extensive amount not only through in-services and training classes, but through my colleagues. I feel very confident in my ability to reach children that feel that they just can't get it. I have two children of my own, which I homeschooled for a year. My daughter, who is 13 years old

As a microbiology student, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry let me to take a position at the University of Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor but then I was moved to a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in an introductory chemistry class. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my tutoring skills. My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide the student to get the correct answer and not just

I am a goal-oriented, driven, and not afraid of hard work. I earned a bachelor degree in Secondary Education, with a minor in secretarial sciences. I taught typewriting in 1980, English in 2002 in a high school, and English in 2005 in an elementary school. I've had experience with both secondary and elementary children. I enjoyed working with both. I learned to understand each student individually. I dedicated myself to help each student personally so that they can learn and be the best that they can be. I advised them and gave them counseling in many ways. My interest is that all of them can progress in life in and be good citizens in the future. I want to earn their respect by giving the best that I can.
