CLAST Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Palm Bay, FL

My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own. I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges.

I took every math course offered by a 4 year college, student taught for one 6 week session, and took some educational courses. After home educating my 4 children for 17 years, I returned to school to complete an AA degree in liberal arts and a BA degree in sociology. I now work as a math teacher working with children who range in age from 9-17 and have special needs. I never give up on a child or an adult. I recently tutored a law enforcement official to help him understand and pass algebra. He didn't think anyone could help him. The schools told me my son would never learn to read or write. He is my only child out of four who reads lengthy books for pleasure. Everyone has a different style of learning. My teaching methods I alter to suit those needs. I spent three years trying to help my dyslexic son learn to read one sentence. I have patience and I love helping people. I am also

I have had the experience of being taught by wonderful, kind, caring, and patient teachers. I have also experienced the teachers who are harsh, impatient, and ridiculing. Through these experiences, I realized that I learned much more through the teachers who were patient and caring. The teacher makes all the difference. Teachers are extremely important in molding and shaping the learning lives of their students. I strive to make learning fun and exciting, because a child/student who is having fun will want to learn more and not just the bare minimum to get by. These skills will last a lifetime. I know that each child/student learns differently, therefore, in my approach to teaching, I try to discern their learning style and best suit my teaching to fit that style. Children/students need exposure to a wide variety of concepts and in a wide variety of mediums. I am committed to prov

I enjoy working with diverse groups of students. My beliefs of teaching are to listen, encourage learning, and respect an individual’s efforts. In addition, with careful observation of human behavior patterns, I can develop strategies that address collaboration amongst various people groups and cultures within a classroom setting. This is key to communicating effectively with students and will promote success in learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given an opportunity to communicate their learning experiences with the instructor and peers. I believe that with assessment preparation and giving motivational feedback to students, they can reach attainable goals. As a Human Services: Business Management/Psychology graduate student, I have learned extensive communication and business skills. I have earned a bachelor degree in Criminal Justice and have written

My teaching style is candid and engaging. I believe that every student can succeed. I am forthright in teaching information and use feedback to ensure that concepts and ideas are grasped by the student. My approach is holistic in that I beleive each student's individual circumstances must be considered when teaching. My goal is to inspire students to WANT to succeed. When a student is inspired and beleives in themselves they are willing to do the work needed to succeed. As Director of Financial Aid I taught 1 class per quarter at the Freshman college level in Career Skills. The course focused on Financial Aid, budgeting, loan repayment, personal fiscal responsiblity, dressing for success, study skills, and professional behavior. I was also Director of the Grant Summer Program for children 6 to 12 and Head Counselor of Camp Rede for children 4 to 6. As Finance Director I also taught

I subscribe to a comprehensive overview initially to provide a basic structural outline of course content and criteria for learning goals. Students can then "fill in" this overview outline as new content is introduced, with open discussion and query to gain additional insights. Daily affirmation of progress with focused discussion addressing areas of needing improvement to keep engaged with consistent monitoring. Assessments should be brief with subsequent feedback soon after testing. Keeping within the overview outline while working each course section will serve to assist in learning comprehension and retention while developing a long term knowledge of the overall course curriculum. At Miami Dade College ADA services, I tutored learning disabled college students in areas of algebra, social sciences, biology, English writing and comprehension for (2) years.

I have years of experience teaching in which I have seen children with learning difficulties rise to the top of the class. I believe all children can succeed with a supportive, firm, and caring teacher to instruct them, support them, and help build their confidence. I am calm, caring, easy-going, and positive. I enjoy teaching and seeing your child grow and learn things he or she may not have thought possible. I have a total of four years experience teaching. I have taught all subjects and all ages in private schools and public schools. I have experience teaching challenging students as I have taught in a Level 10 Juvenile Justice Facility for nearly two years.

I like the child to feel comfortable with me to where they are at ease and readily ask questions. I prefer to ask the student leading questions to aide them in coming to the conclusion on their own as opposed to simply telling them information. After a few questions have been answered then I am able to help them with the details of problem and a help them build a method for solving similar problems in the future. I have a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Natural Science and a Minor in Public Health. I worked for USF Housing and Residential Education. I also was a Peer Leader for Chemistry where I was basically a Teaching Assistant and led two sections by myself.

Teaching the method of (keyboarding) typing as well as basic word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software using the Microsoft Office suite. Teaching students to learn basic business concepts, employment tips, reading, writing and creating research papers as assessment. In addition, students apply their skills learned to creat portfolio highlighting academic and personal achievements. Include teaching continuing education after school program and administered assessments. My expectation is that all students will succeed, to have good classroom management, and to design lessons to help students reach mastery. My goal is to create self-aware, self-reliant, and self-governing for all students. A number of students are not aware of the importance of reading being a verbal intelligence.This was a

I have experience with all age groups and types of children. I volunteer at a school for children with learning/emotional disabilities, and I have also worked with troubled at-risk students through my time doing SES tutoring. These particular experiences, as well as others, have clearly demonstrated that all children are capable of learning, but it is imperative that certain children just have a little extra time and help. I believe tutoring is essential for this reason, because the tutor gets the chance to work a bit more closely with students, so that it is slightly easier to learn their style and capabilities. On my end, I offer this attention to my students and keep detailed info about all of their setbacks, successes, learning styles etc. This, paired with the appropriate instruction based on individuals instead of groups, is what propels me forward. In addition, I am consistent, pa

I have a broad background as an educator. My years in the classroom as both an English teacher and an assistant principal have given me a unique perspective in both curriculum and the needs of the individual student. Following my public school years, I have taught freshman English composition at a local community college as well as served as a tutor to middle and high school students. I have enjoyed guiding students in improving their writing and analytical skills. I am also excited by the advantages of using the Internet as a teaching tool to a generation of technology-savvy students. Teaching is truly the joy of my life. I enjoy seeing students discover their gifts, and then watching them develop them. My philosophy of teaching is one of interaction rather than lecture. Students learn more effectively when they are partners in the learning experience. Reading comprehension and

I have prepared students for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and I have had great sucess helping students achieve passing scores on this test. I have tutored students in basic math up to algebra 1 and geometry. I am a teacher that teaches by showing examples and explaining. I encourage my students to ask questions and I don't mind going over a problem again and again until a student gets the full understanding of what is being asked. I want my students to feel comfortable enough to ask me questions, because that is how they learn.

Based on empowerment and flexibility, I begin by learning my student’s strengths, weaknesses, learning style and his or her goals. Their strengths are used as a tool of empowerment and their weaknesses establish what challenges exist. Flexible due to the differences in learning, I model my teaching style in accordance with the learning style of my student; this helps to increase the level of the student’s progress and decrease the time frame needed to begin seeing positive results. Through learning the student’s goals, I am able to help them feel empowered every time there is a positive result and have them feel accountable when there is not. I am also able to help them expand on their goals and possibly create new ones. As a graduate, with a BA in Sociology and a GPA of 3.97, my biggest accomplishments during my matriculation are they ways I served others. As President of two organi
