Shortly after receiving my degrees, I started my own child care center in New York, and directly operated it for 10 years. In 1989, I worked at Lutheran Medical Center as Director of Community Programs. In this role, I opened and operated an infant/toddler center, as well as a Family Literacy program. In 1999, I moved to Florida, where my work in education continued. I became Training Coordinator for DCF and an adjunct professor of Education at both FGCU and Edison College. Throughout my residence in Florida, I have repeatedly taught early childhood courses on the college level and have remained involved in a wide variety of staff development, parent training and consistent consulting work with the Lee County School District. I have often been told that I am a "natural-born" educator. Teaching has always been my passion, and I know this passion comes through whenever, and whatever, I

As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in addition to tutoring both Math and English as a part-time job. Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to di

I am dedicated to helping all students learn valuable communication skills, become more compassionate of others, confident in their critical thinking, and hopeful about their futures. I create a nurturing and safe environment of mutual respect that continuously focuses on both individuality and building community. I enthusiastically apply all course content directly to students’ past, present and future so they can emotionally connect to the material. I bring current events and pop culture into my classrooms regularly in order to help students develop a healthy respect for both the formal and informal ways in which they can become lifelong learners/critical thinkers. I understand that my students may have both explicit and implicit personal challenges that impede learning, so I take the time to know them individually in order to help them succeed. I feel it is an honor and a privile

Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children. I have been working with the YMCA for close to three years. I graduated from Manatee Community College with my Associate’s degree in May of 2009. I am currently attending the University of South Florida in Sarasota to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I have also been a tutor for various English Language Learners over the past two years. This is truly my passion, and I am considering getting my master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages after I get my bachelor’s degree. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of education. I believe that education is the key to our freedom in life. I hope to teach this philosophy to my students. As a teacher, I woul

I am a very recent graduate of Penn State where academics are a main focus. I have a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Political Science and feel qualified to tutor in spelling, writing, English, reading and related subjects. I would tutor a student in other subjects on a case by case basis. I have written a lot of papers and am very good at grammar. I have been an English tutor to foreign adults and my students always do well and enjoy learning. I am a very patient person and my teaching style reflects that. I will always make sure your child understands the concepts that the teacher is trying to teach. Even when he or she shows that the material is understood I will always go over it a few more times to make sure it really sticks. Everyone has a learning style that works best for them and I will try to figure out the method that will allow your child to improve the most. I will also try

Coming from a family where my parents were both educators, no worder why education was so important for us kids growing up. First,I experienced teaching as a teenager leading catechism classes in the Catholic Church for a couple of years. I remember loving it. Later on, I had a change of heart and felt in love with teaching again. I started as a teacher aide, helping ESOL students. When I saw how much I could help them, it made all the worth of the world. Now, after certification and 10 years teaching, with all the ups and downs, there are always students that I can help in any way, from learning a subject to even in a personal matter, and when I acomplished that, I feel satisfaction and a sense of work well done. I am always learning and improving myself to give to the class and my students all what is available and interesting for them. I am very creative and energetic, and I try to br
