Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Safety Harbor, FL

Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach. After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.

Taught and tutored Latin I and II for 10-plus years I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in

For a six month period I worked in tandem with a highly proficient Latin instructor who had 14 students achieve Magna Cum Laude in Latin one year. As my language choice in high school, my studies in Latin have assisted in my achieving superior skills in English usage and expression and facilitated my learning French and Spanish. On my first visit to Italy, I found that I was able to comprehend a good part of Italian conversation. For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna, Austria for a period of 2 years and have offered ESOL instruction

I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I am infinitely patient and understanding. I have a natural ability to spot the source of a student's misunderstanding and then to clear it up in a way in which they will best understand. My goal is not to produce a pupil who can glibly repeat back the information I've given him, but who can apply the data with confidence so that he can see the importance of it and use it later on in his studies or in life. As a National Merit finalist, I have always been a dedicated, well-rounded student. I just recently graduated from the University of Florida with my BA in English (high honors) and minors in French and Latin. I'm a writer with excellent language and grammar skills. I have been tutoring since I was seventeen. During my college career, I tutored fellow students in English and writing.

I enjoy teaching others regardless of their age. I firmly believe that positive reinforcement is vital in teaching and engenders academic success. I am patient and easy going and respectful of others. I also am aware that each student learns in different ways, I witnessed this first hand with my own children. I was intimately involved in their education from pre-school through graduate school. As a law school graduate and a licensed financial advisor I pride myself in teaching my clients why I am taking a certain course of action. I have earned two degrees a bachelor's degree and a law degree. While in law school I wrote for the school newspaper and as an undergraduate I wrote numerous research papers I have also have 25 years of practical experience in business.

High-schoolers are my favorite students because, at 21, I am young enough both to garner respect and to build rapport with them. While accelerated students are often a pleasure, I enjoy working with slower students because their little breakthroughs are eternally satisfying. In the classroom, I like to stay casual but still maintain an environment in which everyone can learn. I focus on positive reinforcement and encouragement and try to relate to my students on a personal level. Listening, to me, is the key to good teaching; I don't mind hearing about my students' messy romantic entanglements as long as their stories can become viable supporting paragraphs for an SAT essay! I graduate on May 6 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature.

I strive to make my teaching fun and interesting, I look for the student's hot button or passion and then use it to motivate him to excellence in his studies. I have studied marine biology for two years at the Duke University Marine Lab; I taught chemistry, general science, electricity, and metric education at the high school and college levels. I have extensive knowledge of ocean and marine electronics since I have been charter boat fishing captain for last 8 years. I am very talented in working with the learning disabled since I have identical twin 19 yr olds that I have tutored for their whole life. Also I am a motivational speaker for a variety of schools and organizations (Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, and Rutledge Jr College). I have also taught business principles, management and marketing at St Ambrose University.

With an extensive academic background in both the sciences and the arts, I have used many methods of learning. My strengths vary from languages to chemistry and I am an avid writer. I have experience tutoring peers in college and since graduation I have tutored children in elementary and middle school. I have tutored students in Latin, French, Chemistry, English (writing classes). My favorite part of tutoring/teaching is the moment when you can see the proverbial "lightbulb" go off in a students mind. The moment they begin to understand whatever it is you are teaching is such a rewarding experience for me. I wouldn't say I have a set method for tutoring, I gauge an individual's learning style as I get to know their academic strengths and weaknesses and I adapt my teaching methods to fit their specific needs.

Teaching and tutoring, while similar, are actually two distinct practices. While teaching presents a subject to a large group of students, tutoring requires the tutor to work with an individual to determine his or her strengths and weaknesses, and go forward from there. As a tutor, it is extremely important to identify an individual's needs and work together accordingly. I am currently a middle school math teacher in Hollywood Florida. Prior to accepting my current job, I taught English in Japan for two years. My teaching experience, along with a liberal arts education at Emory University, has primed me to be a successful tutor in a variety of different subjects.

I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firmly convince that all children can achieve the maximum of a classrom expectations if all, the methods, environment, and management, and dynamism are present. Finally great teachers can always be defined not by the amount of their experiences but by the difference they made in their student' lives.

My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential which in turn guides my own instructional practice. While some learner's do require discipline and a strict agenda, I frequently relinquish powers to the learner in an effort to fully engage them in their own learning (while maintaining teacher authority of course). Through instructional facilitation, constructive practice and reflective play I look to encourage a well-rounded experience to advocate the love of learning to my student. My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessment.

I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned in the lectures. The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encouragement whe

I feel that I am an empathetic teacher yet I hold my students to high standards of accomplishment. I try to bring a variety of materials to the lesson that help the student gain insight into the objective of the lesson. I try to make the lesson challenging, interesting and fun. Any good teacher will try to discover the strengths and weaknesses of their students and play to their strengths while remedying their weaknesses. Students need to discover the world but they also need to understand the perspectives of society and its cultures and traditions. Students also need to learn how to learn so that as adults they can continue to progress and advance. I think successful students become life-long learners. When I discovered how much I enjoy teaching I prepared myself to launch a second career. I earned a second degree and have almost completed my M.A. in History at USF. along the way, I hav
