I have always had a passion to teach. I feel that when the students see that you're genuinely looking out for their best interest, they are willing to open up their minds to education. I try to show the children that you can succeed, regardless of your socio-economic status or race. As an overachiever, I was very much driven to become an attorney. I received my bachelors in three years in psychology with a minor in law and society, which enabled me to attain law school, where i excelled as a student. I was blessed with the persistence and great study skills needed to pass the Florida Bar Exam which i did on my first try.

I have recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in Sociology and a certificate in Behavioral Forensics. I graduated Cum Laude with University Honors and an overall GPA of 3.78. I place a high importance on education, knowledge, as well as good grades and was on the Dean's List every semester of my college career. My experience as a nanny for the past few years has allowed me to tutor children in all subjects of elementary school. I also have 1 year of previous experience as a tutor for a fifth grade student in all subject areas, including math, science, history, social science, English, grammar, vocabulary, reading and Spanish. I highly enjoy teaching and working with children. I understand that all children learn in their individual way and I make sure to cater to these differences. I am very pati

All children can learn if properly motivated. I use a modified socratic method of teaching, engaging the child in a dialogue about the subject matter. We explore together using books and the internet to find answers. All of my students improved in their school work in a dramatic fashion. Some saw their grades jump as much as 60%. After 33 years of trial law, I decided to teach full time. I have taught various classes off and on since 1972. I have tutored students for the last two years, including 15 middle school english and math students this last year in Hernando County. I also helped these students with science, geography, and social sciences. I now live in Tampa.

My career as an attorney has afforded me many opportunities to instruct people from various educational backgrounds on many complicated subjects that have affected their lives. I am extremely patient and model my instructional method to fit the cognitive mindset of the person I am teaching. Having taken bar examinations in three states, I can teach your child to take tests to the best of their ability, and to use the preparation methods to develop skills that will cross over into other subjects and other aspects of their lives. My methodology is to provide students with the personal guidance they need in order to get back on track to reach their goals. I have been a practicing attorney for 20 years and have recently relocated to FL, seeking a career in teaching. I am eligible for a FL teaching certificate in Physics for grade levels 6-12.

I believe the best way to learn is to teach and the best way to teach is to learn. As we alternate between these roles, we all grow together. I am well versed, patient and easy going. I think each individual has their own aptitude and tendency but if the teacher, with humor and practical experience, can encourage and challenge the student to think independently and bring the student to the next level, any subject can become interesting and useful to the student. Also, my goal is to bring education close to the real world, so the student, besides succeeding in school and make good grades, also has a solid practical background contributing to overall success. I have a great interest in accounting. My study has provided me with ample knowledge of accounting as well as sharpened my analytical and logical reasoning skills.

I believe one of the most vital components of teaching revolves around guiding the child to find a sense of accomplishment in their work. Learning can often be difficult and frustrating but even the smallest sense that they are getting it, picking up something really helps an individual find the motivation to stay focused and work hard. I find patience and encouragement are also very important. Everyone learns at their own pace and learns best through different mechanisms. My time as an undergraduate at Duke University sharpened my intellect to an incredible degree. At Duke, I obtained a BA in Public Policy, a minor in Economics and graduated Magna Cum Laude. The rigorous academic environment at Duke taught me vital study skills while pushing me to improve my writing abilities and problem solving skills. I was further fortunate enough at Duke to have the opportunity to serve as a Teachin

I was taught by my mentor to allow the tutee to teach themselves. Instead of making corrections for them, it was our writing center's policy to insist that each student held their own pen and made their own corrections. We would engage in discussion and challenge them to spot their own mistakes, acting as an invisible hand guiding them towards the knowledge that would serve them throughout their academic career instead of us becoming a quick fix for the present tense. Nothing is better than the look of recognition on a tutee's face when the light bulb goes off and you know that they simply "got it." While I was employed as a writing tutor in college, I was also taking additional courses to improve my skill set as a tutor. We focused on interpersonal communication and reaching out to students regardless of any baggage brought into the tutoring session. I worked as an undergraduate teachin

My teaching style is tailored to each individual student. During our first two sessions, I will be able to determine which teaching methods get the best response. Some students learn kinetically, with lots of motion necessary to avoid boredom, while others must have all their senses stimulated. For each lesson, in order to gauge the response of my student, I include audio/visual for listening skills and oral comprehension, picture identification for level of language skills, singing, repetition for pronunciation and language acquisition, conversation, reading and comprehension, and writing/cloze exercises for production of learning skills. Warning: I give homework! My specialties are reading, writing, and speaking. For over 20 years, I have done performances and workshops on literature, history, and acting in a variety of school and library settings. Most recently, I have expanded my
