Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Palm Beach, FL

As regards language teaching and learning, my ultimate goal is to help my students build in their brains an “implicit linguistic system” consisting of an unconscious system that lies outside of awareness: learners will be unaware of its properties even though they will use it every single second. Such a set of unconscious knowledge will allow students to interact in the target language in real time. Also, during the processes of building of the linguistic system, I attempt to stimulate the curiosity of my students for the most fascinating features of the Italian culture, like figurative arts and opera. Also, I am an experienced instructor of lyric diction for opera singers. Some of my former students are now professional opera singers working at national and international level; others are full professors of music at university level. If you are an opera singer (professional or student)

I am patient, flexible, enthusiastic and friendly. I put the student first; the syllabus second. I do not want to lose the student and will backtrack to consolidate the fundamentals. I strive to avoid talking down to the student but rather encourage him/her with what they have to offer. I emphasize positives. My approach is explanatory rather than judgmental. As a Ph.D. level student in Sociology (ABD) with all exams passed, I have 2 years of successful formal teaching experience at the college level. In research papers I have demonstrated excellent grammar and writing skills. My linguistic training includes 5 years of Latin all of which makes me a very language conscious person. I have tutored students in German, English, French, Sociology/Anthropology. Furthermore I have extensive exposure to Korean, Thai, and Japanese.

I am a former Social Worker from the Foster Care system. I realized thern I wanted to work with children, but more as an educator.

I tutor mostly in Human Service type classes on a college level, english and history on a high school level. I also work with special needs children from K-12. I try to make each lesson unique for my various learners. I have been known to teach in historical clothing, using props from the time period and a smattering of words in other languages. I also incorporate hands on learning such as crafts and some food making. I believe if a method is not working for my students, I change my approach. I also teach in language they are able to understand since their vocabulary is much different than what we spoke in 1970 as well as referneces cu

As a graduate of The University of Florida it was important to me not only to achieve a high grade point average but to participate in organizations which would promote self-growth, a broader cultural experience and challenging situations which would help to develop problem solving skills. While attending The University of Florida I was able to participate in many extra-curricular activities including Director of Parking and Transportation for student government and House Manager for Phi Kappa Tau, a social fraternity. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration majoring in General Business with a concentration in Mass Communications. What makes my teaching style unique is also what I feel makes it so effective. I will normally spend 10 to 15 minutes talking with a student about their interests and hobbies. Whether it is sports, art, music, money, boyfriends & girlfriends

Who teaches a student academic success more effectively than the successful professional student? Due to my love of learning, school has managed to engulf a big part of my life over the years. Throughout my own academic experiences, I've luckily managed to breeze through most challenges with competence. However, I've faced a few first hand challenges out of left field, and know what it's like to cope with frustration. To my credit, I now have a BA and MA, both in interdisciplinary programs valuing connections between culture, art, history, literature and more. Generally, with a high success rate, I found myself always helping out other classmates. While at UF, I volunteered with both high school and middle school students as part of my curriculum. Furthermore, throughout 2004-5, I worked as tutor in a special program designed for college students with learning disabilities. Currently, I

I have a B.A. in English, with a minor in Anthropology, from the University of Florida, class of 2001. I live in Broward Co., FL, and from 2001- 2003, I was a substitute teacher for the county's school district. In 2001, I passed the State of Florida teacher licensing examination. Since 2001, I have assisted individuals with Reading Skills, Writing, and GED preparation through various Social Service Agencies and churches. I thoroughly enjoy teaching Language Arts. I thrive in smaller classroom settings and prefer an interactive exchange approach to teaching Language Skills versus the ‘sit still as I instill’ method. Language is a living thing and I expect full participation from my pupils in Language Studies. I believe many students don't excel in the Language Arts due to the fact they don't believe that it is important. Language, being able to read and express our thoughts, separat

I am a life long learner and as such I am a life long teacher. Because I love learning, I instill the love of learning in all of my students. My goal is to take children from where they are academically and with strategies, encouragement, and enthusiasm, bring them to their potential. All children can learn but not in the same way or in the same amount of time. My goal is to find a student's strengths and provide the scaffolding to develop his/her learning style, confidence, and academic improvement. I am a recently retired educator from Massachusetts. I have spent most of my career in the classroom but have been fortunate enough to have taught all age groups. My last few years in education were spent as a literacy coach and Director of Elementary Education. It was during this time that I wrote and received an NCLB grant for Reading First.
