My comments on tutoring Composition : Essays through Research Papers

I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading. During the past four years I have taught 2nd-adult English Language Learners and tutored K-adult students in all disciplines.
Helping learners find solutions to their problems is my passion. My greatest strength is compassion. I believe that anyone can achieve. I enjoy helping others discover their innate joy of learning. I thrive on seeing the "light" in a learner's eyes. It drives me with a determination to find the best way to help each individual become a lifelong learner.

Brain Builder-Building the Brain without the Pain

I have been in the teaching field for close to 10 years. My experience has consisted of teaching Special Education and Adults with Disabilities. I also have had experience teaching Elementary and Middle School students in Reading and Math. I have a Masters degree in English Education from the University of South Florida. I am also a Florida Certified teacher in English 6-12 with Reading and ESOL Endorsements and ESE K-12.
I have learned through my experiences of teaching individuals with disabilities that a great teacher needs to be flexible in their teaching styles. I am very self-reflective and am constantly looking for ways to help students overcome difficulties with learning. I have a very energetic teaching style and am enthusiastic about learning different subjects as well.

My comments on tutoring Composition : This is an area of expertise. B.A. and M.A. in English; 15-plus years teaching or tutoring writing to all ages. Includes test preparation, academic and business writing.

I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug.
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 t ... read more

Everyone deserves to love learning!

I am a recent graduate, having majored in biology and environmental studies. During my time in college I also had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for a genetics lab and took part in an environmental education program in New Hampshire. My science and liberal arts background makes the the ideal candidate to teach a variety of subjects in ways that are interesting and informative to students.
Relaxed, informal- students each learn in their own way, my objective is to learn from about an individual and cater to their own educational needs.

My comments on tutoring Composition : Published author of article on construction law; B.A. in writing-intensive History; Submitted numerous written pleadings as part of my law practice.

I bring a friendly and patient approach to tutoring. I know hiring a tutor can be a challenging process and a tough decision to make. Accordingly, I promise to make the lessons as enjoyable as possible, while ensuring you (or your child) truly understand the material. I owe it to my students to make the material fun and interesting.
I have over 5000 hours (nearly 10 years) of tutoring experience, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT and other selected subjects. I have been helping high school and college students get accepted to undergraduate and graduate programs all over the United States, including UF, Michigan, Stanford, FSU, UCF, and many others. My first teaching experience was with the Department of Juvenile Justice when I was fresh out of college. It was, believe it or not, a lot of fun! When I went on to Law School I was fortunate enough to be selected as a Teac ... read more

"Half of knowledge is knowing where to find it."

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.
Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

Experienced Educator who wants your child to love learning.

I have been a full-time classroom teacher at all grade levels for the last 12 years. I also have several years as a substitute teacher. I specialize in differentiating instruction for all learners. In addition, I can teach reading and writing skills using authentic sources and classroom subject matter so that students don't fall behind on content-learning at the expense of practice with unrelated materials.
I have a very engaging manner with students. I feel that learning is a joy, rather than a chore and I try to pass that attitude on to my students. I use frequent checks for understanding and reteaching when necessary. I also believe that a student's own insights and questions can guide learning to its highest levels.

Experienced language arts and English language instructor

I've served several long-term assignments as a substitute teacher: the latest involved taking over the classes of a fashion marketing teacher as well as a sports marketing class. I also tutored over seven students -ages ranging from 7 to 14 -in home settings and taught several after-school programs for a local elementary school.
