Teacher and Tutor: Certified

I am an certifed educator with over 7 years experience working with children in grades K-12 with learning needs. I have one-on-one and small group tutoring experience as well. I am certified in Special Education (P-12) and Elementary Education (P-5). I have experience teaching grades K-5, 6 - 8 and high school. I also have experience with children with special needs in the areas of dyslexia, dysgraphia, autism, Asperger's, EBD, SLD and many others.
I teach with the child's needs at the forefront of the learning plan. I believe everyone has the ability to learn but must learn in their own way with patience and nurturing.

Dedicated to helping children accomplish personal goals!

I have been working with special needs students with various disabilities for 10 years. I have worked with students ranging from ADHD/ADD to those who are bed ridded and need toileting assistance. I have also had to accommodate with feeding and those who are transitioning out of high school. I can teach students how to read and write and how to ride the city but to where they need to go and make it back home. I have also taught cooking and hygiene skills.
I am patient, go at the students level, and believe in the use various types of visual aids and hands on to keep my students engaged. Students learn and retain information quicker with continual repetition; however each student will grasp the information different from another and some will take more repetition than others.

A Little Bit About Me...

As primarily a middle grades teacher, I have 33 years of classroom experience and 25 years of private tutoring. My basic focus has been 6th grade math and the education of ESOL students. I hold 2 degrees in elementary eduction and an ED. Specialist in Administration/Supervision. The classroom has always been preferred, even though I hold a degree in Adminstration. I am the true success story that education does lead you out of proverty, having come from a migratory farm-worker background in a rural agriculture county in central Florida.
I believe in basic teaching with practice,and feedback. The differeniation of individual learning styles is always taken into consideration. My primary focus has been on 6th grade math and pre-algebra and having students understand the step-by-step process so they can not only know where the are, but where they are going and where they have been i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English. I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teacher, I have a close knowledge of students' approach to graduate school, and the process of improving their chances of acceptance to schools of choice. I am academically qualified and more especially interested in teaching humanities courses.
The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from wit ... read more

Even before I became an educator, I had the heart of a life-long learner. I believe I was called and gifted to be a teacher and to try to impart a love for learning to my students. I have a BA in English and French, and an MA in French Literature. In my 18 years of teaching experience, I have taught a wide variety of subjects (English, Spanish, French, Social Studies, Math) in mostly small school settings at both middle and high school levels. In addition, I have taught elementary students in various subjects. Much of my teaching has been in school settings which required individualization for my students, in effect, a tutorial model. I have tutored, as well, outside of my teaching experience.
My goal for all my students is to achieve success in their learning and to recognize in themselves that they are capable of that success. With that in mind, I seek to lead and guide the stude ... read more

I believe that teaching needs to be fun and engaging for students. If they can touch and experience what they are learning, they are much more likely to remember the key concepts they are being taught. Students also need to be shown how what they are teaching relates to the real world. All of this can be accomplished using research based methods that are proven to be effective in teaching students of all ability levels. All students can be successful in their learning, but each student is unique in how they will be successful. When they are taught using their primary learning style, then the learning process becomes easier for them. As a teacher it is my job to teach students how to be successful both in the classroom and outside.

The most important things in achieving academic success are the establishment of goals and discipline in achieving those goals. I help students to become involved in their own educational experiences by exploring different teaching and learning methods that best fit the student's needs and personality, creating their own goals over a period of time so that they can keep track of their own progress and by providing students with patience and encouragement so that they remain focused in achieving their own personal goals. I also push students to think outside of the box and challenge themselves rather than limiting themselves only to standards of their age or grade- appropriate level.
I have acquired a wide range of skills through my experiences in teaching and tutoring. For four years I worked with a dyslexic child to improve his reading skills. I used a variety of approaches in ... read more

During the past two years, I have taught Medical Terminology at the college level. Previously, I wrote and presented workshops for early childhood education teachers. Not only did this allow me to teach, it required me to continue my education in all academic areas. With a bachelor degree in Human Services Management and an associate degree in Medical Technology, I have gained much experience in Math, Science, Management and Public Speaking.
My goal is to help each child reach his or her potential. The best way to do this, is to first identify the child's learning style. When this is defined, projects should be tailored to fit that style. I prefer to use a hands-on approach to any subject and present each idea being studied in numerous ways.

Depending on the students aptitude my teaching style varies. I like to get to know how the student advances and think and considering those aspects i try to make them understand. I like my students to ask me a lot of questions for which i have a lot of patience. I also make my students think pro-actively by asking them a few questions just in order to develop their style of exploring ideas and looking more deep into the problem.

The style of teaching I choose to use is based on the learning style of the student. I have been educated in the various styles of teaching and base my style on what best suits the student I am working with at the time. Most children learn from hand-on teaching, so that is a style I use most often. Working one-on-one with a student gives the tutor a chance to use various styles within the teaching efforts.
I have taught in the private sector for 6 years and public schools for one year. I have been tutoring for the past 15 years. All of this is has been grades 1-8. I am currently tutoring some students with learning disabilities grades 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. I feel most rewarded in working with students on an individual basis, so I no longer teach full-time. So much more progress can be made with students on one-to-one teaching. I love teaching, but like to use whatever style ... read more
