If you're interested in learning sign language, I would be delighted to sign with you. I possess math skills ranging from elementary school to college level, including college algebra.

I have four years experience in American Sign Language interpretation and I'm very knowledgeable about ASL vocabulary, grammar, slang, idioms, and how to teach them in an understandable way. I fellowship with the Deaf every week so I know the current signs used in daily conversation. I've been studying American Sign Language (ASL) for over five years. I've taught ASL multiple times at community and church classes with great language success. I have snout four years of ASL interpretation experience ranging from church services to classroom settings to events to guided tours and more. I'm currently continuing my ASL interpretation studies at Valencia College. I'm fluent in this language but I also speak Spanish and conversational French. Adjustable depending on the client/student's needs. Can be simplistic yet extremely effective in ensuring language acquisition.

I'm working on becoming an interpreter; because I'm not an interpreter yet I do not consider my self an expert. I've participated in several Deaf Culture events. I completed all of my ASL classes at the University of Florida under a deaf professor. Although I graduated with a B.A in Linguistics I was very involved in ASL, and will continue to be in my graduate program as a Speech Pathologist and future Audiologist.

Both of my parents are deaf, I have been using ASL since the age of 1. I am now 20 years old and completely fluent in the language. I have been the designated interpreter for my mother and father who are both deaf for well over a decade. Throughout my years I have helped interpret for those in need at various events such as school, church, doctors appointments, and social events. To further my knowledge of the language I have taken ASL courses 1-3 at the University Of Central Florida. I prefer face to face teaching sessions but I can be flexible. To start of I like to see what the student may already know about the language. From there we will practice new material and once the student feels comfortable with the newly learned signs I will then have them attempt at having a conversation using the signs. This is so they can practice using the signs as well as receiving and comprehending th

I am a highly motivated individual with a heart and love for teaching others. During high school, I took advanced placement courses in English and Calculus and through these courses I was exposed to a large variety of concepts at varying challenge levels. In AP Calculus, I was able to utilize the foundations of mathematics as well as numerous other concepts. In AP English, I learned everything from classic literature and poems to advanced grammar and writing skills. At the University of Central Florida, I continued to excel in my courses and pursued a major in the legal field when I realized my dreams of going to law school. Through my legal education at Gonzaga Law School, I learned significant skills in proper grammar and writing as a result of the numerous legal research and written legal briefs required of law students and three years of required legal research and writing course

I have been a substitute teacher and also am certified to teach Pre-K through 6th Grade in Brevard County. I have a college degree in Business. I spent several years working in the corporate business environment. After that, I became a Home Daycare Provider for young children, which allowed me to spend more time with my 2 children. I love watching the children learn and grow every day. Patient, clear. I have worked several years with young children and believe I have a great deal of patience. I would describe my teaching style as comfortable and non intimidating. I love to see children learn and become confident in themselves.

I graduated with my BS in CSD and am now going for my Master's. I have worked with children of all ages specifically in literacy, writing, and speech. I am comfortable teaching up to and including Algebra,any history, and elementary school science. I don't just want to regurgitate information to a student; I want them to learn. I allow them to try to complete and assignment, and if they ask questions, I think of the child's learning style. How they learn affects how I explain it to them or how I show them. If they are having trouble understanding, i will model their question and answer it correctly. I will ten ask them the differences between the two. I am very patient, easygoing, and I give praise often.

I find that incorporating creative and fun learning techniques into academic lessons greatly improves student motivation. I enjoy learning the strengths and interests of the student in order to create opportunities to help them reach their full potential. I believe in using positive reinforcement and natural incentives in the learning process. My experience has taught me that students need to know the boundaries for classroom behavior. I believe this can be done in a positive, guiding fashion that leads to mutual respect of both teacher and student. Activities and projects help bring learning to life, so I enjoy making decisions together with the student which projects they would like to create. For example, we may create the solar system or learn to do a "Landscape" painting. As a Social Worker, I have gained many skills in working with people. My field has allowed me to gain exp

I like to encourage and support my students. Many students don’t want to learn or do not feel they can succeed. When a student is positive and feels that sense of pride; he will open himself up more to the idea of learning. Secondly, I will always do readings and visuals to stimulate both areas of the brain to ensure it is absorbed. I also believe in repetition of information once a student comprehends what has been learned. Lastly, I like to be consistent. I have always kept the learning styles very similar. I also explain to the student what exactly is expected of him and how I will do things so he will be fully aware. This way we are on the same page as to what the teaching session will entail. I have always had a passion for education, whether it is teaching youth or adults. I have gained about 3 additional years of teaching and now am working in a higher education setting. I hold a

First and foremost, I am passionate about education. I believe education is key to success for any person, young or old, as well as society as a whole. Before starting into my bachelor degree in Social Science Education at UCF, which I will finish in approx. one year, I worked at a Tutor Time in Phoenix, AZ. I worked with babies to 12 yr olds. I also volunteered at a live-in rehab center, which took in habituates and ex-cons. This year I have volunteered on a weekly basis at a local high school and elementary school, tutoring students in reading, writing, art, social studies, and economics. My teaching style comes from much of who I am as a person. I am easy going and laid back. I enjoy having fun, but not at the cost of flagrant misbehavior. I believe children can and do make mistakes. It takes the proper coach to guide them in a direction of better choice making. As far as learning, I

I do not have a particular teaching style. I am trained to teach different styles, but it is my goal to get to know every child as an individual and figure out the best way for that child to learn. I also realize one type of style may not be the best for every subject matter. After having 3 children of my own, I can say without a doubt that every child is different and what may work for one will not work for the other. Unfortunately, teachers today have class sizes that are to big to take the needed time to work with students individually and learn what each student in their class needs as individuals. Ever since I was in sixth grade, I have had opportunities to help children learn and see the benefits first hand from what I taught them. When I graduated from high school, I followed a different career path, but after a terrible car accident that left me unable to fly airplanes, I made

Through working for youth camps and volunteering I have gained a passion for teaching and encouraging youth to develop themselves into successful leaders, and it is something that I want to continue to do. With the experience I have gained empowering individuals while testing my own resolve under pressure in environmental summer camps as well as the experiences and the strong intellectual preparation of my undergraduate education. I am confident in my ability to improve the welfare of students by working towards strengthening their education and encouraging them to attain their greatest potential. During my undergraduate studies at the Wilkes Honors College at Florida Atlantic University, I have gained a passion for learning about math and the social sciences. I have earned a bachelor degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences with a concentration in Environmental Studies. I have taken math

My background knowledge of speech and language has helped me as an educator in my classroom. I can spot out students having difficulty immediatley and give them the extra help they need to master a skill. I can efficiently change my teaching style to accommodate all learning styles. By teaching kindergarten, third grade, and speech & language it has given me a varying range of teaching experiences. I like to incorporate real world experience as well as hands on teaching. My style of teaching depends on the class I have. I incorporate whole group and small group using many visuals. I also do read and respond with my classroom. For my auditory learners I use cassette tapes and reread instructions and stories. These are just some of the basic things I do in my classroom.

I have Montessori training and have worked in three different schools, two in Sarasota and one in Georgia. I was and still am drawn to the Montessori Method because of the hands-on approach, the creation of an interactive environment, creating a sense of confidence and self within each student, fostering social responsibility and embracing and recognizing the arts as a valid approach to learning and expression of self. I covered all materials but specialized in reading and tutored in reading as well. I also have volunteer experience in the British School, SHAPE, Belgium. I am a creative, patient and nurturing person who enjoys working and interacting with children. Some Univ. classes completed were "teaching art & creativity to children","teaching reading" and "American Sign Language & Issues in Deafness". My Montessori training was completely focused on child development and learning.
