Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent through her citizenship exam practice. Another was when I prepped a friend for a lifeguard exam that she had failed twice. Seeing my students of all ages succeed is a joy. My motto is if at all possible, I want to ma

I enjoy tremendously my interaction with pupils. I like to observe how their self esteem increases as they master difficult concepts. I help them tackle these concepts by introducing more efficient techniques and by presenting information from a different perspective. I strive to create a learning environment where the student is comfortable enough to ask questions, reiterating that it's OK to make mistakes and that my positive perception of them won't deteriorate regardless of how many they've made. I let them know that serious learning occurs through analysis and acceptance of such mistakes, not through denial or avoidance of them. During 2005-2007 I participated as a Dual Language Elementary teacher (Spanish-English) at Palm Beach County's School District, FL. I served as a second grade teacher for the first school year and as a fourth grade teacher for the second period. In this i

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service. I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching.

As a graduate from the University of South Florida, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I earned my bachelor degree, BA in History, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of the social sciences as well as reading and writing. I had to learn extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and thesis papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last five years I have tutored students in history, English, psychology, the arts, mathematics, and sciences. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructiv

I like to assess my students and then come up with a plan that uses their strengths and interests to help them achieve their academic and social goals. Before you can teach a child you need to understand their temperament and gain their trust. I believe all children want to learn and can learn when the materials are presented in their learning style. I will use whatever it takes to reach a student; manipulatives, music, movement. My teaching style is very flexible and I will adjust my lesson to suit the student. I worked as a pre-school teacher for 5 1/2 years. During my last year I trained with Dr. Donald Lyman and developed a program for PK through 1st grade,and ran an after school tutoring program. I was so impressed with the results that I went to work for Dr. Lyman for the next nine years. For the first 5 years I worked with students 1-12 grade teaching all core subjects, at

I love working with children, or students of all ages. It is great to see the light "click" on when they grasp a new idea they have been struggling with. During the past four years, I have worked with students providing additional instruction when they have difficulties. I am easy going and patient which is advantageous with students who need extra guidance and support. My goal is to help them improve their skills and meet their full ability and potential to help them with a great foundation in life after school is completed. A solid educational foundation will make will prepare a student for college or life. My wish is for them to become lifelong learners, I have worked in the educational system in Pasco county, FL since August of 2006.

My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom. As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT.

Getting to know each of my students as an individual is the first step in my tutoring process. Seeing the world through his or her eyes helps me to connect the learning to the student's own paradigm or viewpoint. In my education courses, I learned the technical terms for what I've always known -- when a student can feel part of the process, he or she is well on the way to understanding. My students become part of the process, and as a rule, my students learn. A love of learning has always been my trademark. As a child, I came home excited after school every day, eager to share what I'd learned. Yet, when I found myself hitting a wall in math a few times, I learned what it was to fear school. My goal as a tutor is to move a student past that challenge so he or she can view learning as a fun, exciting experience. With patience and encouragement, I believe everyone can feel this way.

I am most comfortable teaching with prek-5th grade students, because that is my area of expertise. I love teaching these age groups because they are so impressionable and some of them still have that child like innocence that hasn't been stripped from them yet. My goal is to make all of my students feel safe and secure, but at the same time they should be getting an education not having to worry about their home life or what their wearing or who is looking at them. My goal is to get them to focus on the schoolwork ad realize their full potential which is outside of this classroom As a college graduate, I was ready ti conquer the world with my BA in Communications, but once I begin to think about what I truly wanted to do with my life, I begin to also look into childcare.
