A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in a hands on approach when teaching the principles of art.
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, I freelanced food styled with recipe development for clients such as Sonic, Waffle House, Omaha Steaks, Yarnell's Icecream, and Harry and David catalogs. I have been published in Southern Living Magazine and Home Mechanix Magazine, as well as food/restaurand flyers and catalogs. I was able to use my Art Degree and the basic principals of Design with basic food knowledge to produce delectable print ads and video commercials.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of a private college, I have always been driven to perform at the top of my game. I have received two Bachelors degrees in both English literature and theater. Early in my collegiate career I gained a position as a teaching assistant (TA) and taught a required first year course for 3 out of my 4 years of college. In this position, I noticed that a lot of writing skills were missing from first year students that I felt that they should hav possessed and created and implemented a collegiate level writing and researching workshop that the college still uses. In addition to my TA position, I tutored nursing students in anatomy and physiology and biology classes.
I love teaching and learning. I grew up going to Montessori schools and truly believe that everyone is capable of learning its just finding the right way to teach that person--not all students can be boxed in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been mentoring/tutoring students for the pass fifteen years in school,church or community environment. I have been choosen to work with the most difficult students. My expectations are high but has proven to have a high success rate. I have earned a BS in Human Services/Management and I am currently working on my Masters in Preschool Education. I have mentored students in Pre-K-6th grade. Also work on everyday life skills.
I believe that a good quiet environment with one on one help can open the door for every student to be successful. Failure is never an option for any child provided that he or she has the right access in the learning environment. I will start with the student whereever they are academically and get them to where they need to be. Reassuring and encouraging the students as we both achieve our goals.

More About This Tutor...

My college experience in the subjects of Economics, Government, Language, Math, Science, and Social Studies was rigorous. After finishing undergraduate courses, I worked for a program that sent college students out to public schools to be Teacher's Aids. We were expected to help any students who were falling behind in a subject. The experience was so rewarding that after graduation, I took a position working with troubled students convicted of sexual assault, teaching them math and science for six months. That time was more challenging since students had wide-ranging ages and special needs. I learned how to work with I.E.Ps. Later, I worked as a tutor/teacher at a middle school in L.A. This assignment was my longest and most memorable.
There is no feeling like the joy felt once a student grasps a concept you're trying to share. For that reason, I attempt to explain things in multi ... read more

Children are individuals and you must find their style of learning and be able to adapt your teaching style for that child. I believe that you must geniunely love children and teaching to be able to reach children. They can sense when someone really cares. I have a passion for learning that I believe translates to the children I work with.
I taught preschool for 5 years and had a home day care center for 4 years. I have worked as a paraprofessional at Springfield Elementary for the 3 years and was an after school tutor for the SES program for 2 terms for two different companies. Although I have not yet applied for certification, I am eligible for certification for Elementary Education as I have passed the FTCE K-6 certification exam.

Good reading skills are critical in today's world. Without them your child will fall farther and farther behind. Every effort must be made to enable a young person to have a thirst for learning and reading is vital to that end. Patience and respect must be shown to a child. Learning must be a good experience. One teacher can make the difference. I can be that person.
I have been privileged to receive an extraordinary education. I want very much to pass along some of this treasure to a young person. My grade school and high school provided exposure to literary classics, languages, and history. My undergraduate work was at the University of California at Davis, which is a world-class school. Even though my major was art history, the ability to write is and was emphasized and required of all students whatever avenue of scholarship was being pursued. Research and the writing ... read more

My teaching style consists of being a facilitator and demonstrator. I like to encourage my students to use their problem solving skills with creative and active learning/teaching. I also like to encourage my students to take some responsibility for learning their material and asking for help or additional instruction when they do not understand something. I am always open to new styles and like to explore all areas of the teaching spectrum. Knowledge is power!
I have over 10 years of tutoring experience in the areas of English, psychology, mathematics, and sciences. I also served as the Math Lab Coordinator/Lead Tutor at Wallace Community College, Dothan, AL for two years and volunteered at several after school programs to tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in general studies.

More About This Tutor...

I began my teaching experience during college by first working as a teacher’s aide, after which I transitioned into substitute teaching, tutoring and after school care. Eventually I graduated and worked in elementary education as a teacher. I chose to continue my education and become an engineer. Since then, I have continued to volunteer through tutoring, Kiwanis, organizing a math competition for the schools within a five county region (MATHCOUNTS) and occasionally reading for afterschool programs.
Throughout my education experience, I was taught that whole learning is the best form of education. An education is not just gained through books; every life experience is capable of teaching a child. Math can be taught through books, games or even by counting the number of sprinkles on their sundae. Science can be taught by explaining why the cloud is in the sky and why it is raining ... read more

Today's students are tomorrow's leaders. That is why I am highly motivated to pass on as much knowledge as I can to as many students as I can. I do realize that all students learn differently. That is why my teaching style is one of patience. I will help a student out as long as it takes. I won't give up. I also try to create a comfortable learning environment. No one can learn if they are uptight or scared. Because kids will be kids, I sometimes have to be "hard", but I am never "mean". If given the right opportunities and mentorship, all students can have unlimited potential in life.
After graduating college, I served in the US Army for six years as a Chemical Defense Officer. My primary duty was to ensure that all 17,000 soldiers in the 1st Cavalry Division were trained and equipped to properly deal with chemical and biological hazards.

I enjoy children of all ages and gaining and keeping their respect and trust. I find it comes naturally to me to earn their trust and respect. They can tell that I genuinely care about each and every one of them, even the ones that have had a rough time and been through a lot. I have been at many Title 1 schools and am able to identify with children on their level by the process of mirroring.
I started out volunteering at my children's Mother's Day Out Program where I taught very young children and nurtured them to learn that it was OK for mom to leave because she always came back. We had circle time, learned the basics, how to share, give, receive, pray, hug and make friends. From there I graduated to a more formal training i.e. preschool, where I actually planned lessons and age appropriate curriculum. From there I progressed to substitute teaching elementary and secondary ... read more

Many of the things in life that we don't "get" are things we don't understand. When teaching, I try to break things down and simplify them so they can be easily understood. Often the kids in my class are those who do not like to be challenged, so I incorporate a lot of questions to provoke thinking and problem solving on their own. Since repetition is a key component to learning, I review a lot which requires patience but pays great dividends in the long run. I try to keep things fresh and fun by adding a lot of variety, and also like to motivate with real-world examples so students can see a practicle use for what they are learning.
I am in my sixth year of teaching in elementary school, and previous to that I taught for 3 years (GED prep, Life Skills, Cognitive Skills) at a prison. Prior to that, I worked as a Social Worker for ten years for the Florida Dept. of Children & ... read more

I believe that all children have the ability to learn. After 38 years in the teaching profession I find each year to be just as exciting as the last one. It is always so amazing to watch the "light bulb" come on with each child you touch. I believe that children learn by doing and am a firm believer in the hands on approach. I have worked the past five years providing intervention for at-risk students at my school. I also work with teachers to help them achieve the very best from their students.
I am a NBCT with 38 years experience teaching in the Bay District School System. I hold bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a masters in Reading. My Florida teaching certificate is in Elementary Education 1-6 and Reading k-12. I have tutored with SES program in Bay County for the past three years in both reading and math for elementary age students.

I received an AAS in 1984 at Alfred State College and was a nominee for Reatial Management Student of the Year.

A Little Bit About Me...

I approach teaching in a way that is very versatile and I am willing to adapt to accommodate a variety of learning styles. In general however I tend to back up and work on the material that the student already is familiar and comfortable with. Once some review on the known material has been done I like to begin moving toward the material that is currently being reviewed. The length of time spent in the "review phase" is completely dependent on the student's current situation. Some situations might require a mere problem or two in this phase, while others might require additional time understanding the fundamentals before moving to the more complex current problems.

As a proud graduate from Florida State University, I have earned a BS in Psychology, with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis, along with a minor in Criminology. While studying these disciplines, I have developed an extremely strong background in researching scientific data, a great repertoire of communication skills due to my multiple presentations, and the ability to properly produce exceptionally technical reports and proposals. I have used my wide range of knowledge gained from my various studies to tutor a now senior in high school for over a year, as well as helping others with high school to college level work in the fields of English, literature, psychology, music, math, and science.
By having a strong background in an analytical approach to studying human behavior, I understand the process of not only how we learn, but also how to effectively teach. This specific train ... read more
