Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Osprey, FL

Have worked with several students and teachers in preparation for both the Mass. and Fl. certification exams--General Knowledge and English (content and pedagogy). I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. 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

I love children and I love teaching. I am extremely patient and very considerate. I take into consideration that each child has a unique way of learning. A child will learn success in various subjects when the child feels important as an individual. Children know their limits. I encourage each student to work hard and pursue a higher level of learning. With proper encouragement and loving support, students will work and do well in various subjects. I truly believe that all students have a genuine interest in learning and in doing well. I am very positive with each of the students that I tutor. After I graduated from college, I was hired to teach elementary school in Venice, Florida. While teaching in Venice, I also taught graduate classes for the University of LaVerne, LaVerne, California, in "Schools Without Failure". I have taught kindergarten through high s

One of my gifts with working with children has always been the ability to relate well with them. I know what motivates children and have always shown patience and understanding. I have always tried to have children learn while having fun and try to give them multiple experiences because not all children learn in the same way. I have my professional certification in Elementary K-6 and Physical Education K-12. I recently taught Kindergarten and I have more than 30 years experience working with children of all ages. Along with teaching I have twice owned my own school and been the Director of many schools and summer camps. My strength has always been teaching Mathematics and I am taking the certification test next week.

I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Personally, I like to incorporate many different learning styles, whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Regardless of the subject matter, I constantly try to find ways in which to make the material exciting and relevant for the student. Motivating my students has always been a primary goal. Even though the main focus has been mainly the mastering of various academic skills, I am also somewhat of an academic rationalist in that I feel that all students deserve to be exposed to great ideas that have shaped our civilizations. Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels. Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I am a true believer that in order to effectively teach a child you must know the child’s learning style. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory. This method of teaching is essential in the tutoring aspect. I am a practitioner of culturally responsive teaching, which uses the cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles of students to make learning more appropriate and effective for them; it teaches to and through the strengths of students. I know each student is capable of learning. It is my responsibility to tap into their interest and knowledge level to assist them through the learning process. I am a passionate educator with five years of teaching experience ranging from middle school through high school. I have three years of administrative experience in a K-8 program. During my tenure I was responsible for writing curriculum and assisting teac

I tend to treat Math as a Game; how do I (the student) get to the answer? I go over the basics, set up the "plan of attack" to reach a conclusion. It's re-emphasizing the "Rules of the Game". I really want to get the parent(s) involved in this process. I love tutoring, especially when students get it! The "light bulb" goes on.The most remarks I get are - "why did'nt my teacher show us that way?" I was chosen to teach math at a charter middle school; but the Board of Education (Manatee) voted to shut down that school after three days on the job. Subsequently, I began tutoring Math at Manatee Community College for three years. I've taken several refresher Math courses at MCC (3.66 GPA). This included 2 courses with Dr. Paul Nolting, author of the book "Winning at Math"; which concentrated on visual, auditory and tactile methoda of learning.

I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a likeable teacher, who got results with the majority of students I worked with. I am an outgoing, friendly person, who understands that students learn at different degrees, but that all students can improve - with the help of teachers, family and community. I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama.

As a teaching professional with a diverse background I bring a breadth of experience to all levels of teaching. I have been tutoring for 10 years and specializing in one-on-one instruction. I currently teach English at the college level, but I tutor privately in a variety of subjects. Two bachelor degrees, in English and Communications, a Masters in English, plus 30 graduate hours in Education give me a strong foundation for instructing. My passion for teaching and learning, patience and understanding make me an ideal tutor. Kids respond positively to my teaching style. I am motivating and understanding about their needs while striving to make them feel at ease. I have found that a child learns better when he/she feels a teacher is giving that student his/her total attention. Students do not want to compete with other forces.
