Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Palmdale, FL

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and whole group studious conditions. At all academic levels at Elmira College, I helped students to succeed at their scholarly endeavors. As a parent, I guided own daughters to be successful learners. This makes me an excellent candidate to help the next generation to be set on the pathway to thrive in their life vision. My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies

I am a retired educator! I was a teacher/coordinator in Educational Supervision(adm) of sudents at a High Tech Center. I was also involved in Hospital Home Bound education for Middle and High School students as an additionally my wife and I tutor via our private company. I an capable of helping students write essays and also veterans and others write their autobiographies, biographies and novels. My style of education has always been as an encourager/motivator. I worked with middle and high school students at a vocational center, who the regular schools had given up on. I had great success since I have a high level of energy and passion for learning and motivating people, whether in the classroom, on the athletic field or in the community and church arena(both of which I volunteer in).

I have always been driven to succeed, especially in school. I graduated magna cum laude with my BA in Communication this past December. This degree increased my own ability to communicate effectively and I am now pursuing a BA in English this Fall so that I can teach high school English. I am fortunate in that I have done well in all of my general education classes, making me confident in my ability to tutor algebra I and II, geometry, chemistry, biology, earth science, and of course English, whether it be writing, reading, or grammar. This past year I have been tutoring Algebra, as well as basic math skills in order to catch my students up to their current grade level. I have worked with children for what seems like my whole life, mostly through church. I know that every child can succeed with the right help. I myself am caring, compassionate, patient, and encouraging. I believe that my

I believe that children can learn in many different ways. I am constantly researching different ways and techniques I can use in the classroom to better assist each student. I try to mix traditional teaching methods with fun games, facts, and activities that help to engage the learner. I have been told by many of my students that they still do not like English, but they love having me as their English teacher. English has always been my best subject. It was natural for me to major in English Education when I decided to go back to college. I believe that when I teach English, I make it fun but most importantly, understandable. I love reading and reviewing the different genres that this subject covers, especially short stories and novels. I have taken several workshops to help improve my ablility to teach writing and to help students prepare for the FCAT Writing Exam. However, my l

I am an extremely passionate teacher who believes that all children deserve a chance to excel. I believe that children all learn at different levels and in different ways, and that needs to be taken into consideration. I am patient, compassionate, and intuitive to the specific needs of children and young adults. I enjoy being around children and it gives me great pleasure to see them improve in all subjects and gain self-assurance in themselves. I have dedicated my life to the improvement of the lives of children and am adept in doing so. I can be the one who gives your child the confidence in themselves and their work and instill a love of learning. I graduated Cum Laude from Barry University with a B.S. Ed with ESOL endorsement. The ESOL certification trained me in the best practices for reaching students of other languages and nationalities. My student teaching internship and it gav

I have been working with children for 10 years and absolutely enjoy it. My belief is that all students can succeed when given the chance. During my pre test I assess the student and observe to implement the best tutoring tactic for each and every child. All children are different and special in each and every way. The best reward in tutoring is to see the student being tutored academically succeed. When tutoring not only does the tutor need to know the material being taught but also be able to communicate well with the child and bond in order to get across and be effective. Another important thing is to communicate with the parents and the teachers regularly to that the areas in need are being reinforced in all aspects. As an employee of Collier County Public Schools for 10 years, I have been in the education field and enjoy working with students of all ages. Since 2004, I have bee

I have taught Kindergarten through 8th grade, in elementary ed, language arts, writing process, and social studies. I have tutored students in math and English, as well as worked in after school programs that focused on tutoring. I have graded over 1500 writing props for the State of Missouri, and have taught writing in school, as well as in an after school program. I am very organized, being on task and requiring my students to be so. I enjoy helping students learn and expect students to use their time wisely and productively. When a student does not get a concept, I break it down in very small steps; thus, helping the child pinpoint where they are making errors and correcting them. I encourage students by giving both verbal and non verbal rewards, such as stickers, and small prizes. Students seem to respond to my teaching style, and I have had success in improving student s

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in". I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing.

As an elementary education major I have been given the experience in working with different grades in my internships. I have also learned and applied elementary school material. I was given the chance to observe the different ways of teaching and was given a chance to help students in small and large groups. I love to teach and help all children. I believe that each child has a different learning style, and I know that not every child should have to learn in just one way. I believe in hands-on activities to teach children. I believe that all children can learn as long as they are having a positive learning experience.

I am looking forward to sharing the skills which were developed over 30 years of teaching. My elementary classroom experience includes teaching grades 2,3,4,5 and 6. The successful experiences I had working with learning disabled students, unmotivated students, and gifted students brought me much satisfaction. One on my strengths is my ability to motivate and inspire students with different learning styles across many grade levels. It is very important to find out what skills sets a child needs to be reinforced. The activities the student engages in must be based on his strengths and weaknesses. I believe in working with the student to explain their thought process. I do this by asking questions and helping them realize how to attack a task. I find the student by verbalizing what they are thinking is able to progress at a faster rate. This helps the student self confidence and the

I hold a BA in Early Childhood, studied Communications, and absolutely love teaching. I do not teach in a classroom, however, I teach in the corporate world, which has given me the opportunity to learn new challenges and achieve different goals. When I started my career teaching, I taught Pre K – 1st grade. When I decided to change careers, I didn't want to give up teaching completely; my passion is to help kids achieve their academic goals and boost their self-confidence. I've tutored students in English, mathematics (including Calculus), reading basics, writing skills, and computer learning programs. Sometimes a child's obstacle is not always an academic challenge. A truly talented educator looks beyond the letter grade and must genuinely understand the student as a person and his/her life.
