I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels. Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

All through high school and college I was a tutor. I have taken numerous writing extensive courses. This qualifies me to tutor English. I have also taken many courses that concentrated on Social Studies. Science was always one of my favorite courses in high school, therefore I took a few science courses in college as well. I have previously tutored students in test preparation, and I have taken the FCAT myself. Math was another strong subject of mine, and I have also tutored students in this area as well. I feel that I am a natural educator. I often find my self teaching people simple tasks at work, or being called upon by friends and family members to assist them, or their children with their homework. I like to keep learning fun and interesting for all students. I believe that if you invoke an emotional response, like happiness, when you are teaching something, the pupil is much more l

I often tutored fellow students through my high school career. I mostly focused on Reading, English, History and Science. Rarely did I tutor in Mathematics. I received my Educational Paraprofessionals certification in May of 2009, scoring one point shy of perfect. The certification allows me to be a teachers assistant in side classrooms in Lee County Florida. I prefer a very one on one style where I can figure out where the student currently is in the subject. I like to try to cater my teaching style to each students personality so that learning can be easy and fun.

After graduating from Jacksonville University with a BS in Business Administration, I joined the field of professional baseball. I have been playing professionally in the Tampa Bay Rays’ organization for the past 5 seasons. During my off-seasons, I have been working for the Sarasota School Board as a preferred substitute mostly at Sarasota Middle School. I have taught in every subject at the middle school level with my specialties being math, science, and reading. My last assignment was running a tutoring program at Sarasota Middle. I have a true passion for helping children and young adults succeed, and would like to help your children as well. Apart from baseball, my second love is education. I feel that every student has the ability to grasp a subject or a certain idea. It is all a matter of finding out how that student learns. My main style of teaching is threw the Socratic m

Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn. I have worked with my daughter's home tutor for three years and also volunteered in her after-school program for four years. I admire the spark in a young child's eyes when they learn a new word or do something extraordinary. Sharing that excitement and giving the praise and encouragement is priceless. During my ten years of higher education and work experience, I have gained phenenominal creative writing skills writing research papers and reflections of childhood development,behaviors, and curriculum. Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model.

I am currently a local Florida Gulf Coast University Bachelor of Arts graduate of Special Education with certification to also teach general education students Kindergarten through Sixth grade. I chose to teach in the difficult area of Exceptional Education, because I desired to teach only using the best research and evidence based strategies so that every student I had the opportunity to teach will learn. Through my years of volunteering and in my final year of teaching internships at the Elementary school level, I am very excited to cater my services toward elementary aged children who need help in Math, Reading, Social Studies or Writing areas. Students learn best when they are doing. My teaching is style is a mix of modeling, hands-on and critical thinking. Depending on the subject and age, I enjoy having students use manipulatives or answer small real-life dilemmas as to understand

I feel that children should be given every opportunity to succeed so support of their inquisitiveness is essential. As children mature into middle school and high sc

I have a natural gift for teaching and I very much enjoy it. I am an upbeat person who is a natural encourager and I am a patient person. I am very methodical and organized in my teaching. I tend to come from a different angle, presenting information with a different perspective that allows for greater understanding. I love to see the "ah-ah" moments when someone understands something they had previously been unable to grasp. I find it very rewarding and exciting. I have 5 years of volunteer teaching experience. I have worked with ages of children ranging from infant to 5th grade. In addition I have a years worth of experience teaching adults. I have worked in the areas of memorization, art, music, stories and use of analogy. I have also focused on reading and writing.

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 would describe myself as laid-back and patient. I have found that my patience is what helps me in helping students comprehend the information they are learning. I teach to every learning style and intelligence. I believe all children can learn much more than we expect of them, they just have to be taught the way they learn. Diversity is what makes our world go around, and that is what I teach to my students. Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher.

As a part of my personal teaching style I believe that I need to have multiple ways of teaching material since many students have different ways of learning. I believe that educators need to be professional in order for students to conduct themselves in a professional manner. In order to teach successfully, there needs to be involvement of students’ families. Students not only learn at school but also at home. Families should be aware of any concerns, problems, or especially if their child is excelling. I believe it is important to teach students how to evaluate themselves and even learn how to become internally motivated as well as independent. I have worked with students with different ability levels in many different settings. I received my BS from Canisius College in Childhood Education and Special Education grades 1-6.
