A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored for individual strengths and weaknesses, facilitating the learning process and desired outcome. Most people know intuitively how they learn, as well as which modalities work best for them. Paying attention, listening, probing with questions, observing responses, being patient is the first part of my job. Often times the student knows what works best and can even tell you. So I just need to pay attention. Once the diagnosis is evident then I can prescribe, or at least give suggestions that help facilitate the desired outcome. Then it's evaluate, make adjustments, continue and expand on new learning sets and ac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Training Coordinator for service-learning projects throughout Florida, I learned about the effectiveness of service-learning strategies. The opportunity to apply what is learned in classroom settings promotes retention of all subjects. In one project, students learned about homelessness in Palm Beach County, Florida and throughout the United States. Students empowered themselves when they spearheaded a food drive and conducted an assessment of homeless people in Palm Beach County. This process enriched their empathy for people in need. In addition, I challenge students with thought-provoking situations that increase their critical thinking ability and communication skills. One such example included the shootings at Columbine and why young persons might commit such an atrocity. This helps to promote self-discovery and critical thinking as well. The treatment of individuals wi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe in students succeeding in school and life. Having a love for learning and school is the key to good grades and a healthy attitude. I don’t believe any child wants to fail. Quite the contrary, children want to succeed. When students fail, it is because the system failed them and not the other way around. I believe the key to teaching kids is to help that child experience immediate success so they can gain self esteem during critical elementary school years. Next, areas of strength need to be identified and emphasized while weaknesses need to be improved. Meanwhile homework cannot be treated as an isolated event, but should be incorporated into the learning strategy.

I have taught every type of student, from struggling to gifted, including 2nd language learners. My classrooms have always been models of structured learning, high standards and high achievement. I am very skilled at managing both large and small groups, using tried-and -true strategies. In small group or one- to-one settings, I am humane, empathetic and gently questioning. I believe that all students deserve the quality teachers and resources to reach their personal potential.

While earning my degree in English, I developed teaching and communication skills through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences. As an intended Secondary Education minor, I took many classes in education, including a middle and high school practicum. I also tutored students in grammar and composition, as well as foreign students in conversational English. I strongly considered teaching as a profession after graduation, but I wanted to earn my law degree first. While studying for the LSAT, I took an online course, mastering test-taking skills in all three parts: logic “games,” analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of Florida, with extensive work in research, analysis, and writing, these skills came easy to me. Currently, I am a teaching assistant for Legal Writing and Research and thoroughly enjoy helping 1L’s also ... read more

My teaching style has foundations in the Socratic seminar, where class discussions lead students to form their own understanding of the materials/subjects at hand. As students only retain 5% of what is spoken in lectures, I encourage students to follow a model of inquiry and responsibility for their own work. I support studying and reading at home in order to excel on tests, and offer individual assistance to each student. I also insist that parents take a strong leadership role in the education of their children, so that they may develop a yearning for information and knowledge. Lastly, I use the daily newspaper as reading material as well as topics for discussion and vocabulary acquisition. My goal is to help students become critical thinkers who take responsibility for their education.
Besides teaching language arts for the last four years in North Carolina, I have a lifelong i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions.
I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed.

While living overseas in both Ukraine and Mexico I taught ESL through a non-profit organization for 4 1/2 years. In addition to teaching beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes to students of all ages, I did extensive one on one tutoring with students, and eventually conducted all new teacher training. In Ukraine I volunteered at an orphanage where I taught Bible lessons to children who suffered with mental illnesses, learning disabilities, and other consequences of severe abuse. Upon my return to Florida, I joined my church staff as a minister to middle school students, and taught regularly for 1 ½ years. Additionally I have tutored students in ESL, Spanish, Russian, and GED preparation. As a student in FSU’s rigorous Russian Program I have continued to utilize and study learning techniques, literature, and grammar. Finally, other coursework has exposed me to a variety of di ... read more

I believe that every child can succeed with strategies to support their learning. My experience with students who do not know English and children who have disabilities, has really given me the opportunity to learn strategies to help all types of children learn. I have a proven record of helping struggling students to raise their FCAT scores. My number one priority when tutoring for the past ten years has been to motivate and get children interested in school. Many students need a little help with organizational skills, and after that, I show them how much fun learning can be! After transferring from the classroom to the State, I really miss working with kids, and the satisfaction of seeing a student's face when they really “get it.”
I have been passionate about teaching for as long as I can remember. I earned both my Bachelor and Master degrees in the field of Education, plus I am ... read more

A recent graduate with a double major in English and French, I have both academic and professional experience.

I have tutored students of various levels and various walks of life on both a free-lance and organizational level. I pride myself in my tutoring experience and truly enjoy the activity.

I also take an approach of learning WITH the student and wi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having studied psychology, I understand that children are very sensitive to negative feedback. I have experience in how to give constructive criticism to children and how this can only encourage them to do better.
Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and p ... read more
