My comments on tutoring Continuing Education : Middle school and Adult age

I receive my bachelors degree in Early Childhood and Elementary education K-6 from the University of West Florida.My teaching styles include using a hands on approach, involving all 5 senses of a child, positive praise and motivation, some rote memorization, cognitive recall, and tactile materials.
I am a veteran teacher with over 21 years of experience teaching PreK, Kindergarten,First,Second, and Third grades in two public school systems. I have worked for 3 years preparing adults for the GED. I have experience working with children of all ages with many different disabilities. I have used several reading programs to teach language,reading,and writing skills. I use many different kinds of manipulatives when teaching math concepts. I believe that each student is different and I use many different approaches in teaching all subjects. I am very passionate and dedicate when teaching ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In my recent years of experience with babysitting kids I have gained an appreciation and love for teaching smaller kids how to learn. I graduated with honors and was always determined and hard-working throughout my years in school. I then began study criminal justice and have passed several test for law enforcement, now I am doing part-time tutoring for younger kids who may be struggling or just need the extra attention.
Fun, hands on approach.

I believe that an instructor’s primary role is to create an environment that encourages a real desire to learn by presenting the subject matter in a way that is interesting to the student and by striving to make it make it relevant to their lives. It is my role as an instructor to take abstract concepts and breathe life into them and make them real to the student. I think that it is important to understand and be constantly aware that different people learn in different ways. Because of this, I feel that it is important that an instructor uses a wide range of teaching methods in order to give each student the best opportunity to learn and understand the material.
I have earned both a MA and a BS in Urban and Regional Studies from Minnesota State University. I spent 15 years working in local government management. Throughout my career, I have taken opportunities to hire and mentor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching art to all age levels. I really enjoy it when I show someone an art technique, they learn it, and make it their own. When teaching art, I feel it very important to demonstrate a technique, discuss how the technique has been used in different cultures, and then for the student to mimic my actions. Once the technique has been mastered, the student can take the technique and use it in their own way. As a math tutor, I work closely to find a method that clicks for the student. I am very patient, and I use various ways of solving a problem to find the one that the student can most understand.
As an art teacher of over 15 years, I have taught painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic arts, art history, and darkroom photography. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts at Christopher Newport University and my Master of Arts degree in Teaching an ... read more

A teaching style developed over many years as a registered nurse and military NCO and officer affords me the opportunity to boast that I truly believe in the diverse talents of every person. Each student possesses a unique range of talents; however, each has his or her weaknesses as well. Tapping into one's talents and using that talent to learn new concepts associated with those weaknesses is the key to successful learning and sustained retention of information. Learning is fun; it is not fun when the student feels inadequate, insecure or scrutinized. Recognizing a student's talents is the first element in teaching, since failure to do so provides no solid foundation upon which to build.
As both a registered nurse and a retired Navy officer, I am an avid practitioner of lifelong learning and a zealous teacher who has vast experience in teaching students in military and private ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 stud ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student in the PhD program at the University of Florida, I have been very involved in academic pursuits. However, this personal endeavor reaches beyond my own experience as a student and extends into my professional work as an educator. I have been working in the field of Adult Education for students pursuing their GED diploma as well as Instructing courses in ESOL. This field has been a passion of mine and has enabled me to work with students of various backgrounds and educational stages.
My teaching style would be best described as creative and improvisational. Because I work with students from such varied backgrounds, I believe that the best method is one that allows for flexibility and at the same time incorporates lessons from several fields at once. For example, in both my GED and ESOL courses I incorporate music into my lesson plans. I find that music is an excellent av ... read more
