Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pomona Park, FL

As both a registered nurse and a retired Navy officer, I am an avid practitioner of lifelong learning and a zealous teacher who has vast experience in teaching students in military and private settings. I have gained invaluable insight in teaching both adults and adolescents during my many years as a mental health and medical-surgical nurse. Additionally, my previous instructional experiences in the military superbly complement my abilities in the absolute necessities of education: reading, writing and mathematics. Yes, "the three R's" are truly the basis for a successful education, and I look forward to sharing their importance with future students. A teaching style developed over many years as a registered nurse and military NCO and officer affords me the opportunity to boast that I truly believe in the diverse talents of every person. Each student possesses a unique range of tale

The nature of my teaching style is to be highly adaptive to the needs of each specific student. As a teacher of students with various learning abilities or disabilities, I have focussed on individualized and highly varied approaches to learning. I have passion for teaching and empathy and compassion for my students. Their success is my fulfillment. I have a diverse background, having worked with a variety of student age groups and abilities. I have approximately three years of experience teaching Anatomy and Pathophysiology and Medical Law and Ethics at the college level. In addition, I have approximately three years of experience teaching high school English and one year of teaching Exceptional Students with learning disabilities. Likewise I have been an athletic coach for approximately fourteen years with experience working with athletes ranging in ages from elementary school to

I believe that all students can learn. It's just a matter of finding the instructional style that matches their learning style. I am a firm believer in the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Dr. Howard Gardner and adapted to the education field by Thomas Armstrong. It's not how smart you are, but how are you smart! To me there is nothing better than seeing the lightbulb go on in students' eyes when they "get it." My job as a teacher is to figure out how to bring each individual student to that point and guide all of them to reach their fullest potential. I have 19 years experience as a high school teacher. In that time, I have taught several different English classes and reading. I have been a department chairperson, a reading coach, and have taught a variety of graduate level education courses to teachers as well. I was honored as Wentzville High School teacher of the

In my four years of employment for a national fraternity, I have spent years creating educational programming for college students. Additionally, I traveled to over 90 college campuses to work one-on-one with students, administrators and alumni. The only way to teach people is to find some common ground that you and the students have. Once trust, respect and understanding have been established, it makes the learning process much easier.

As an educator, I have strived to keep up with technology by pursuing a Master's degree from Concordia Unversity.I have earned a bachelors degree from Coppin State University, in Liberal Arts, with concentrations in Criminal Justice, Education, and Biological Sciences. In addition, I have learned to effectively write MLA and APA styled research papers,scientific laboratory reports,participate on On-line Learning Teams, and Action Research Projects. For the last ten years, I have tutored at an after school program, as well as, taught students both on the Middle and High school levels in English, Mathematics, Algebra, Life Management, Sciences,Social Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Religion Studies,and Contemporary Arts. I often incorporate all three of the VAK modalities while teaching, I do this so that each student's learning style is addressed. I truly enjoy teaching children a

I do believe that all children have the ability to learn the subjects however not all children are in the right mind to do so. My goal is to show in real world, understandable terms the subjects we will work on. I believe that if a child is explained the rules in terms and words he/she understands, then he/she will grasp the material and carry it with them into the future rather than trying to cram for an exam with no retention. I graduated from UNF in 1993 with a Bachelor's of Business Administration in the field of Management. The degree required classes in Accounting, Finance, Algebra and Economics. Mathematics has risen to be one of my preferred subjects, tutoring this subject for a year to date.

I have over 22 years of teaching experience at the Secondary and Adult level. I have written and implemented several innovative courses, and redesigned curriculum to include interdisciplinary education. I have addressed several NEA conventions on teaching across curriclum boundaries. My favorite composition of curriculum was my work at combining English composition with Western Civilization and Fine Arts. I have also authored several papers on writing technique for teachers to become more effective teachers of writing essays and research papers. My teaching style varies with audience. I believe that most students need to first understand what a question is asking, (we all assume what is being asked yet never give it a great deal of thought) then proceed to elaborate on the wrong answer. Study technique is to me a critical element in learning. This usually means SQ3R. I am not a talking h

As a college senior, I have accumulated countless hours towards tutoring and mentoring those in need. Whether it's Pre-K, Elementary, Junior High, High School and College students, I spend a great part of my life not just accomplishing goals, but taking the time to extend a hand and bringing those once behind me to the forefront. I have grown to learn that the right amount of disciplne and nurturing go further than a full dose of either. The subjects I mostly excel in are mathematics, psychology, English, reading, and the Arts. I feel that the well-rounded education that I have received makes me versatile in the educational system as a multi-threat to the decline in graduation rates. I find great joy in watching a child progress in their education. All children are capable of learning at their own pace, and through repetition. Your child will find success and ease in their academics thro

As indicated previously, I believe all children can learn. More importantly, parents and teachers can learn a great deal from their children, specifically by listening and recognizing what motivates, excites, and draws the child in. I am extremely patient, but firm in drive and conviction to provide the best educational opportunity for every student. As a life long learner, the parent of two school age children, and a business professional, I continue to be intrigued and encouraged by the willingness of students to learn. As an adult student earning a bachelors and masters degree, I gained a passion for education as I was not the typical college student. Rather, I was a very typical high school student, and later a part time college student, who was not prepared for college. My passion is to bring out the best learner any student can be, plain and simple. Through my work as a school

I began teaching in 1998. My previous job was taken away by forces of nature. I had taken advantage of the Military Troops to Teachers Program with no clear pathway to practice. Until I found myself with a possibility of unemployment. I I applied at a correctional facility and I was hired over the next week. Hence my introduction to the classroom and the world of academia. Over the next five years I was fortunate enough to teach both classroom and computer lab, loving the challenges and accomplishments more and more everyday. My students were adult learners whom appreciated accomplishing life goals. I continued educating over the next seven years with results that were uplifting and inspirational. Teaching requires a heart. My teaching style is a type of facilitator approach. I realize the with every classroom there is middle level of learners the same as lower and higher achiever

In every subject I am qualified to tutor I have taken high school, college, graduate, and/or professional courses and earned at least a "B+" (91%), with exceptions only for attendance points being removed due to chronic health issues.  In addition, I have tutoring experience at both the high school and college level.  Every student has given me the highest evalution possible to my superiors. Finally, I have professional experience in both personal use and the teaching of written communication, oral communication, photography, and internet and networking setup. It is my practice and continued goal to use all of these experiences to best suit you or your student's learning needs. Every subject has its own teaching style, yet there are some consistencies throughout. I teach based on how the student learns. This may require adapting typical styles to meet the individual student's ne

I recently completed my education to be a communication and English educator at the University of Minnesota - Duluth. Through the program I spent a year as an apprentice at a middle school and high school. At these locations I not only observed, but also conducted the classroom a day each week. Also at this time I spent a day tutoring a low functioning reader one-on-one for the entire semester. The following year I student taught high school English and creative writing. In this year I also spent time tutoring after school in all content areas, (English, writing, science, math, study skills, etc.) To me teaching is about solving puzzles. Each student needs different devices or strategies to learn at their full potential. This is why I believe in experimenting with how class or a learning session is conducted. I pride myself on my courage to try something new and original in order

I enjoy teaching children. I do have a particular interest in middle school and high school ages, but have enjoyed tutoring my daughter's younger friends as well. My approach is friendly and practical, but firm. For example, I'll use humor to keep children engaged, but explain, in very real terms, why things have to be learned (i.e., you must pass Math to graduate!). At the same time, I don't like to waste time on discipline. I believe that most children will rise to the expectation placed on them. In other words, I expect you to behave, so that together, we can achieve our common goal. After graduating from Flagler, I was immediately offered two teaching positions. I chose to teach at the middle school level and remained there for two years. I enjoyed working with this age group very much. I taught Science the first year and Language Arts the second. Prior to graduating, I wor

As a college graduate, I have obtained the knowledge in order to convey what I've been taught to those in search of such knowledge. I earned a BA in English with focus on European Literature especially authors including; William Faulkner, Samuel Beckett...etc. I also took many writing classes and have grammatical skills due to creative writing and analyzing novels and short stories. I have tutored students in Elementary Mathematics with focus on factions, equations, and arithmetic, and English with focus on grammar, sentence structure, reading, and comprehension. I love teaching and working with children or anyone that has a lust for learning. Everyone has the ability to learn but each of us requires a special path in order to understand and attain the information. I understand that not everyone has the capacity to learn at the rate I teach which has made me patient. My main goal is
