Vocals Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Punta Gorda, FL

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History. I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible.

I am uniquely blessed to be a third generation teacher/educator; I have experience at all levels of public/private teaching (K-12 and undergraduate college) and have been actively involved in teaching for over twenty years. My style is hands-on, engaging the student in a one-on-one discussion of the subject(s) to be learned---I approach difficulties/challenges from the philosophy that "together, we WILL master this subject!" I also teach and train the student(s) in HOW to study, and give him/her tools and techniques to absorb and learn new and/or challenging material.

Teaching one-on-one is my forte. I can establish rapport quickly then ascertain what and how a person wants to learn in a time-efficient and respectful way. My approach is cordial give-and-take, with abundant humor and fun. It is important to have reperetoire of behaviors as an educator, clinician, parent and citizen. The challenge is knowing when to switch-up when the first tactic is not working. My aim is always to read the "message received and understood" light in a person's eyes, and the sense of mutual regard and appreciation in her face and body at the end of a session. Since 2nd grade, when my teacher sat me next to a 10-year old boy with Cerebral Palsy, it seems I have been called upon to instruct others. I tutored our high school rockstar drummer in French so he could graduate. In college I taught 3- and 4-year olds, learning as much from them,

As a professional in the field of physical education it is my obligation to change the way physical education is perceived in our society. The purpose of Physical Education is to help children develop the skills they will need for becoming functionally active and healthy people in society. It is important to realize that the mind and the body are closely linked together. Physical education and academic achievement are closely linked in that physical fitness promotes a healthy mind. I want my students to not only achieve in my class, but also to achieve academically in other classes. By teaching with that in mind, society will see that I play an intricate part of my student’s education. • Efficiently managed a safe learning environment while organizing groups, reinforcing rules and procedures, and teaching various skills and life lessons. • Planned and implemented movement educatio

I like to make my classes fun and game like. I use different methods for remembering such as how to apply photographic memory as well as music and lyrics. I also like the use or repetition in order to memorize. I like to give weekly tests on the subjects studied and implementing the reward system. You do well on the test, you get a reward. (These rewards I have always asked the parents permission, examples are candy, toys or fun trips, movies, etc). I have a BS in Intntl Communications and Journalism and specialized in PR and Advertising. I carried out these studies in both Spain and the US.
