The experience I have gained while studying Education and Psychology, along with administrating exams for Wonderlic Scholoastic Testing and tutoring has enabled me to learn through understanding, hard work and dedication. I have learned through extensive courses in Psychology on how we learn, education courses that break learning down, and working with children and adolescence for over ten years with tutoring and patience, that with the proper tools and guidance, anything can be achieved. I believe that implementing the right tools, along with clearly stating what the student needs to learn, along with discussion, will ensure student success.Using multisensory resources, creatively using the newly formed knowledge, along with pre-testing will foster memory and recall.

Possessing strong academic qualifications and leadership give me the advantage in helping others. I offer great ideas and have established expectations that administer consistency and fairness as a leader overseeing the needs of others. Communication is not only speaking but active listening.

Tutoring is not my part-time job, it is a full time endeavor. I tutor in many subjects including Elementary, Middle and High School curriculums. I tutor all ages. By working with my students, their parents and teachers, we formulate a plan and goals for our sessions. Sometimes I am a tutor for a test, or a coach for a project or a study skills adviser. I have experience working with students with ADHD and those with specific learning issues and IEP's.

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 teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I believe that all students can and will achieve academ

Qualified in this subject by WyzAnt. In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits of a wide ranging education. For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly re

I like working with kids and be able to help them find joy in learning new things. I am patient with children. I had tutors when I was young and enjoyed learning with tutor because my tutors gave me an undivided attention that made me feel special. That extra attention also motivated me to learn more. I would like to do the same for children who I work with. I graduated in Palm Harbor High school in the IB program. I earned a 800 on the SAT math portion. My undergraduate degree was Management though the University of Florida and I am also pursuing my MBA degree at UF. My strong subject is math, any type of math. I have tutored a few middle school students. I have also helped my friends with their college math courses.

Maria Montessori, one of the most powerful women in the foundation of educational philosophy, once said "Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” Each child must be seen as the individual that they are. Special attention needs to be placed on a child's growth both physically and emotionally and the education of that particular child should be the focus of the teacher. Each student should be viewed as a success.Focus should be placed on a child's strengths while working to build and boost those areas which are not their strongest. As a teacher, you have the power to make an impact. During my time as a student in the University of Florida's Proteach Program I had many opportunities to work in various classroom settings and ultimately receive a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in children's literature.

During the last eight years I have tutored students in all subjects I have taken - math, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. I am especially fluent in the sciences as a result of having attended MIT. My writing skills are especially strong as well, due to my choice of major, and I believe I could be an asset to all types of students, especially older students. I enjoy tutoring children of all ages. I have nephews whom I tutor that are five and six, and have during the last eight years tutored many children in middle, high school and college. Because I have been very succesful myself in academics, I am often able to show children the simplest path to becoming successful - whether it is a trick to solving algebra problems or creating an outline to make an essay seem like an easily surmountable task. I believe there are very few children who do not want to excel in school and even fewer

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned a BS degree in Education and Business. While interning at Gainesville High School I learned that understanding teen-agers was the key to teaching. Students are sometimes confused that education and goal setting are much more important than social satisfaction/needs. Key here is to listen, learn and be patient with the student to grab their needs and utilize their strenths. Thank you. When you figure out the motivational and emotional needs of a child, teaching becomes easier but still a challenge. When a student can grasp the basics/core of a subject and really absorb this beginning information, we can move forward using their abilities of discovery regarding the subject. I look forward to assisting in the future of their educational development. Thank you.

I strive to make my teaching fun and interesting, I look for the student's hot button or passion and then use it to motivate him to excellence in his studies. I have studied marine biology for two years at the Duke University Marine Lab; I taught chemistry, general science, electricity, and metric education at the high school and college levels. I have extensive knowledge of ocean and marine electronics since I have been charter boat fishing captain for last 8 years. I am very talented in working with the learning disabled since I have identical twin 19 yr olds that I have tutored for their whole life. Also I am a motivational speaker for a variety of schools and organizations (Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, and Rutledge Jr College). I have also taught business principles, management and marketing at St Ambrose University.

I love working and learning with students of all ages. I enjoyed working in a magnet high school that concentrates on leadership, career development, and breaks the mold teaching methods. I earned a Masters degree in Library Information Science and now work as a School Librarian and Technology Coordinator. Elementary school libraries/tech labs are a happening place! During these years, I also worked as an in home tutor through Get Smart, tutored with Sylvan Learning Center, and shared a classroom with another high school English teacher at Night School. I find it very satisfying to work with students as they supplement their education. A positive environment and methodology is very important in the learning experience - especially if that learning experience is rooted in frustration. I do my best to connect the concept to a student's personal experience so they may relate and build co

While earning my bachelor's degree, I tutored reading and language arts in grades 2-5. I also worked at the speech lab at my alma mater. For students who had phobias about public speaking, I worked on helping them overcome fears and succeed in composing and presenting a speech. I also did extra course work in linguistics, which prepared me to tutor speakers of other languages as they learned English. I have tutored foreign speakers from age 8-80. It is very rewarding. Most recently, I tutored 2nd and 4th graders in language arts and math. Each student is an individual and they give cues to the teacher on how to best reach them. I use a variety of tools when I tutor. I have created a cookbook with a student to help teach spelling, dictionary skills and math. I created a puzzle book with another to promote reading, logic, as well as math and science skills. With non-native Englis
