A Little Bit About Me...

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.

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 ... read more

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 across multiple curriculums and helping them to become academic achievers. I have a nurturing way of teaching, by applying life long experiences to the classroom environment so, that my students can use what they have learned and apply it to everyday life. I believe by providing a positive learning atmosphere in a structure based classroom, children have an opportunity to apply his or her critical thinking and problem solving strategies to foster in academic excellences.

I was a classroom teacher for over 19 years. My experience is varied with all grade levels. Experience has taught me that many students struggle in later years in math because they lack the basic skills taught at the elementary level--4/5. I recently tutored students at the college level who had difficulty with entry level math. Again the same problem---basic skills lacking. After retiring from teaching full time I continued to tutor math through Club Z as part of the No Child Left Behind program. I tutored for 4 years. I currently reside in Palm Coast Fl. and would like to help students who struggle with math as I have a great love to help, one on one, those students who become frustrated with a subject I find fascinating.
I try to analyze the weakness of each student that I tutor--- to begin where the confusion started for the student. I make sure each understands the why and the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I gain great satisfaction in knowing that I can help others. I know good teachers can make a difference. It was not until college that I had a teacher who respected and believed in what I could accomplish. In my youth I had tremendous doubts about my capabilities. I received little encouragement from family. My parents cared but they were too busy doing other things. My teacher’s support gave me the courage to finish college. Without the expectations that I could achieve, I probably would not have become a teacher. I believe amazing things can be accomplished through hard work and dedication. As a teacher I want to inspire young people to soar intellectually and personally.
I received my BA in Speech and Theater and taught in New York City. I loved teaching and continued my education earning my professional administrative certification. In 1997 as a principal I opened the ... read more

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.

As a seasoned business executive I have not only assisted with teaching at the college level (advertising, editing and writing, math, history and civics) but have also trained hundreds of managers and sales reps through various seminars, and workshops. I have extensive grammatical skills, due to writing lengthy business proposals, professional letters, and complicated product summaries. My math skills have remained honed through thousands of contract negotiations, and department budget exercises. I love to not only instruct, but to also teach how various exercises will help students succeed in everyday life.
I enjoy working with children and young adults, and am aware that everyone grasps learning at a different pace and in a different manner. An approach that works with one student might not work as well for another. I am patient, enthusiastic, and committed to your child's succes ... read more

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 tal ... read more

I took Spanish throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I then took two Spanish courses in college. I've travelled to Latin America on four occasions and did fieldwork for my MA dissertation in Spanish. My level of spoken and written Spanish is high enough for tutoring at lower to intermediate levels. I spent 10 months in Brussels, Belgium. While living there I shared a flat with two native French speakers. I also took private French lessons for 5 months. I was also able to carryout day to day activities such as getting/giving directions, shopping at the grocery store, and going to the laundromat using my French. My French skills are strong enough for tutoring only at the most basic levels.
I like kids a lot and have been told several times that I have an uncanny ability to relate to the younger generation. My education philosophy is much like that of a trainer ... read more

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 through my assistance. I am patient and understanding, yet persistent. I firmly believe in encouraging a child to discover his/her strengths in order to overcome whatever obstacles may present themselves. I make learning fun by using everyday life siutations parallel to each equation. If more learning were hands-on, more students would be able to apply learned techniques to their situation at hand.
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 bring ... read more

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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 achievers. My goal becomes aimed at the middle with reserves and encouragement for the lower as well as higher students.I often try ro challenge the classroom wholly and getting to know my students individually. This is key. My goal should be shared by my student instead of mowed over by it. Together we learn not individually.
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 for ... read more
