More About This Tutor...

I love helping students and believe every child has the ability to learn. I am passionate about encouraging them and inspiring them on the journey; sometimes, it may take multiple attempts before a child learns how to successfully organize an outline for an essay or complete an algebraic equation, which requires patience, consideration and persistence of the instructor. By meeting your child at whatever level they are on, and understanding his or her learning style, I will be there to motivate and push them to perform their best through modeling, guided practicing, and providing examples that are relevant to them. I can help train your child to become a confident, independent learner.
My BS in Secondary Education from Florida State University has equipped me with the knowledge and experience in educational psychology and teaching strategies through both course- and fieldwork in L ... read more

I love to bring history to live for students so I like to explain events in a story format. It is important for students to memorize facts, however, so I focus on memorization techniques and organization. Reading requires comprehension so I use a combination of techniques including reading out loud and repetitive reading. I am patient and creative, so I can usually find what works for that individual student.
I began teaching at Shepard Academy. I taught Social Studies to middle and high school students. Shepard was a small private school specializing in meeting the needs of students who had a variety of learning challenges. Many were diagnosed with ADHD or ADD. After a three year leave during which I stayed home with my children, I began teaching at Tallavana Christian School. Again I taught middle and high school students, but I covered 6th grade math and reading in addition to h ... read more

I was employed by the Interior Design department at FSU to teach undergraduate courses, being an instructor of record for the inital course for the department, Design Fundamentals. I have a passion for teaching and learning- it runs in the family as my husband is a middle school science and math teacher. Our parents are lifelong edcuators in Wakulla County. Now that I have earned my Master's degree I would like to continue that family tradition.
I believe that while students may forget specifics of what they are learning, they will never forget how teachers make them feel. I also belive that the best teachers are the ones that make themselves less needed the longer they teach specific studdents. I want to empower the students I teach to be able to learn and excell on their own in the future. I hope to make a difference by empowering the students I teach to learn to edcuate themselv ... read more

After teaching preschool age children for 5 years, I returned to school to pursue a BS in secondary Education with a concentration in political science. I graduated in 2007 after 3 years at Georgia Southern University. In 2008, my family and I moved to Wakulla County, FL. Here I began teaching 3rd and 4th grade at Wakulla Christian School. This year I moved into the 5th grade teacher position at WCS.
I enjoy working with children of all ages and am available for all subjects. My focus is teaching through discovery; whether by observation, research, or builiding upon previous knowledge. I believe all children need nurturing in academics and the biggest hurdle many face is self-confidence (or the lack of).

As a high level accomplished Master Teacher, my main focus is student achievement and success. Currently, I am a 2nd Grade General Education Elementary Instructor. I have taught general education for 5 years and inclusion for 5 as well. My vast background experience equips me with the proper tools needed to assist individuals in reaching their maximum academic potential.
I strongly believe that each child has the ability to learn if given the proper instruction based on his/her individual academic need. Instructors should be versatile in their teaching strategies in order to insure each child is successful based on individual ability. My job as an educator is to "reach and teach" and is strongly driven by my philosophy that it indeed "takes a village to raise a child".

Learning needs to have importance to a student. They need to understand why they need to learn the things they are being taught. Then it makes more sense to them. If possible, teach to their strengths. If they like computers, find a website that gives them practice. If they are better writers than listeners, have them dictate and read it back to you. Flashcards work well for some while others have difficulty remembering things. It all depends on the strengths of that child as to what is the best way to teach.
I have taught kindergarten through eighth grade special education for the last twenty years. I have had experience working with students who were struggling learners including my own child. Sometimes teaching means showing a different way to do it. I have learned the skills needed for students to learn and remember what they have learned. I have tutored many students ... read more

I am a very patient, soft spoken person who understands what it is like to struggle. I also had difficulty learning in school and wish someone would have taken the time to notice I wasn't being 'lazy' but really had a hard time comprehending and remembering what I read. Study habits need to be taught. Learning can be an adventure when you are feeling successful but when you are meeting failure, it is difficult. I try to teach the subject area while teaching strategies for lifetime learning.
As a special needs teacher, I have worked with many students who simply needed someone to show them a different way to learn the material. Learning can be made so much easier when taught in a format that is fun. This makes it enjoyable and more likely to be remembered. In a tutoring one-on-one kind of setting, times tables could be taught with a deck of cards and using the two numbers thr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have twelve years experience teaching students from 2nd to 5th grade. My first six years were spent teaching 2nd grade at Caroline Brevard and Florida State University Schools. Then, I taught Math to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade for one year at FSU Schools using the Project CHILD method which involved many hands on centers with whole group and small group instruction. After that, I was a Reading Coach for Crawfordville Elementary for one year and then taught 4th grade for three years. I currently work at Riversink Elementary teaching 3rd grade. I have worked there since they opened in the fall of 2007. As an Elementary teacher I have experience teaching Reading, Writing, Grammar, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
When I teach children I first look to see where they have the most need. I use a variety of assessments and tools to identify their areas of weakness and then plan ac ... read more

Understanding is a priceless gift. It is my ultimate goal to ensure that every student I help gets an understanding of what they are learning. I believe that my patience coupled with my desire to see a student succeed is what drives me to teach and mentor. I am confident that the best way to teach is to be interactive and hands on to ensure understanding while having a little fun.
As a college graduate I understand the importance of education. During my college career I was given the opportunity to travel to Darmstadt, Germany where I was a camp counselor to children's whose parents are in the military. During this time I was given the opportunity to tutor and mentor young military children. It was my goal to help each student understand the fundamentals of reading and writing. As a pre law student, I was able to strengthen my research and writing skills. I interned at the Florida ... read more

I've been told that I have a unique style of teaching. I like to teach using rhymes, antonyms, and relating the subject to familiar life situations. My experience with this style of teaching seems to help students retain information better while simultaneously enjoying the process. I try to incorporate fun into the learning process and always commend students for achieving their goals. Many times I offer incentives for improving grades or improved test scores/progress reports. I try to make the tutoring process enjoyable for both me and the student, while also making sure the student learns as much as possible in each session.
I successfully completed a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Social Work and a master’s degree in Public Health with a concentration in Behavioral Science and Health Education. I have tutored previous college classmates and K-12 students in Engl ... read more

My teaching style is positive, resourceful, and uses multi-media whenever necessary. I encourgae my students to seek their own answers and guide them on how to reach their learning goals. I combine learning with an increase in self discovery and self - esteem that stays with them beyond our present lessons. I believe learning should be presented as an ongoing, positive process that one never stops marveling at. My students know I believe in their successes which they enjoy reaching.

My experience with children and education are linked through my travels. I worked in a day care in Asheville North Carolina. I also volunteered at a mosque when I lived in London. I visited many schools when I went to Morocco. I am a student at Florida State University, working for a double-major in Creative Writing and Middle Eastern Studies. I have taken many English technique classes such as; poetry, essay, and fiction. I have extensive skills in grammar and English structure. My goal is to teach English abroad. I believe that education is the best tool you can give a child.
I believe that to engage and educate children requires a personal, hands-on, and creative teaching style. I recognize that everyone learns differently. However, I believe that a child can learn anything if he/she sees the connection between the information and their daily life. I am patient and open-minded ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very unique. I enjoy teaching math because I like to find different and more exciting approaches to teaching mathematical equations. I will alter my voice, bring props, make jokes or anything that makes learning math easier to understand and enjoyable. I am patient with students because I enjoy seeing them learning new things.
When I was in high school I excelled in math, particularly in Geometry. I assisted my father in tutoring a great deal of his clients. Once I graduated high school I pursued tutoring in Tallahassee where I attend college. I started off as an afterschool counselor for Belle Vue Middle School but my job soon turned into a teacher's assistant position because of my natural teaching abilities. Everyday after school I would be assigned to 20-30 students to assist with homework and other school assignments.

The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best teachers, not only because they possessed the necessary knowledge, but because they were animated and caring and able to cater to students' needs. I believe all children can be made to see the benefits of education through the right teaching methods. If there is anything I do not know, I am able to research and learn about it independently. The most memorable teachers did not always know the answer, but they always knew where to find it or how to help the students find it. I take these lessons to heart and hope to use them to help others.
I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gain ... read more
