Brain Builder-Building the Brain without the Pain

I have learned through my experiences of teaching individuals with disabilities that a great teacher needs to be flexible in their teaching styles. I am very self-reflective and am constantly looking for ways to help students overcome difficulties with learning. I have a very energetic teaching style and am enthusiastic about learning different subjects as well.
I have been in the teaching field for close to 10 years. My experience has consisted of teaching Special Education and Adults with Disabilities. I also have had experience teaching Elementary and Middle School students in Reading and Math. I have a Masters degree in English Education from the University of South Florida. I am also a Florida Certified teacher in English 6-12 with Reading and ESOL Endorsements and ESE K-12.

Since 2008, I have been a teacher and just relocated from teaching German at a high school in Pennsylvania to beautiful Sarasota. I do have my Pennsylvania Professional Teaching Certificate and am getting my Florida one. I love to teach and enjoying inspiring others to learn more about the world around them. I have lived in Germany and am fluent in German. I also am a huge history buff and have traveled to over 20 countries.
My teaching style is student centered. I will adapt the information according to the type of learner you are. I understand that no two students learn the same way. I create scaffolding lessons and activities focused on differentiated learning styles from hands-on learner to visual learner. My goal is to promote student learning, achievement, and success.

Experienced Educator who wants your child to love learning.

I have been a full-time classroom teacher at all grade levels for the last 12 years. I also have several years as a substitute teacher. I specialize in differentiating instruction for all learners. In addition, I can teach reading and writing skills using authentic sources and classroom subject matter so that students don't fall behind on content-learning at the expense of practice with unrelated materials.
I have a very engaging manner with students. I feel that learning is a joy, rather than a chore and I try to pass that attitude on to my students. I use frequent checks for understanding and reteaching when necessary. I also believe that a student's own insights and questions can guide learning to its highest levels.

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent Bachelor of Science in Child Studies graduate of FGCU and hold a current FCCPC. I am considered a non-traditional graduate (which in my case means older), and I bring with me a range of personal and professional experiences that have developed and enhanced my capacity for learning, teaching, and adaptability. My primary interest in learning is focused on the social-emotional and cognitive influences that create the optimal conditions for brain function during the learning process. Providing both the necessary supportive social-emotional environment through positive guidance as well as the cognitive stimulation that physical, sensory, and creative and artistic activities produce are fundamental to implementing a brain-based learning approach, and I am trained to integrate hands-on activities across the curriculum and learning domains that relate to real world experiences. ... read more

My career in education began thirteen years ago. I started by volunteering in my son's classes as well as in the library. While volunteering in the library, I taught children how to do to research, write essays and reports, construct Power Point presentations and, finally, how to present their work in front of their peers. I attended the substitute training course and, as a substitute, I have worked with children of all ages and backgrounds as well as in all subjects. More recently, I received my BA in History and my certifications to teach Elementary Education, Art K-12, Earth/Space Science 6-12, and Social Studies 6-12 (which encompasses US history, World History, Geography, Psychology, Religion, and Sociology).

I believe that every child has it within them to learn, along with a desire to achieve. I try to foster that growth through patience, understanding, and encouragement. My style is mainly to understand first where there are issues with learning and then work through problems to find specific areas. I work with the child to explain why certain steps are taken, building up to them explaining to me how to attack a problem. Finally, I try to finish with teaching the child how to apply what he has learned to similar issues to cement in what was learned.
I am probably not the typical college graduate. I entered the work force and gained more responsibility quickly. I eventually believed that in order to maintain my growth, I would need a degree and went to the University of Phoenix for a degree in Business Management. If there is one thing that I have learned it is that there is a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach people of all ages because I have so much passion in education and learning. I enjoy using different techniques to help each child learn at their own pace. The best gratification is to see a smile on a child's face after they have learned or accomplished a task which they didn't understand before.
I have attained a Master's Degree in Sociology, with an undergraduat degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology. I am also fluent in Armenian. My strenghth has been in the English language, which has helped me with many research papers and also writing my Master's thesis. I also have attained certification in many computer programs. I have been tutoring friends and family for over five years, and I would like to continue with my teaching certificate.
