A Little Bit About Me...

My preferred teaching style is up front and personal with students. However, I am highly familiar with "online" correspondence, via the computer or internet. I totally believe in having thorough knowledge of the required subject prior to teaching. I also enjoy working with children. I am a father of two young children (ages 10 months and 7 years), and I enjoy taking the time to cultivate their ability to read and comprehend.
As a former active duty Army soldier and non-commissioned officer with over 20 years experience, I have taught and trained military personnel in various technical fields and specialty areas. I have over 15 years experience as an immediate supervisor and/or mid-level manager of soldiers. I have taught people in a classroom environment, as well as in an outdoor setting.

I believe in teaching using the three learning methods- aural, visual and kinesthetic because I understand that each student's needs are different. I like to use examples, lecture, project work, teamwork and written assignments.
I began teaching and tutoring as a high school student. Those subjects included music and computers. I continued after receiving my bachelor's degree. I taught mostly in areas related to my field such as- digital video, film, music, computer op, writing, research methods and even digital video game creation. I've taught continuously, ages 2 through college, for the past 2.5 years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I achieved an A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies and a BA in Pre Law. It was due to my most excellent parochial elementary and secondary education, that I was able to achieve the academic success I experienced returning to college as an adult student. I appreciate being able to help individuals understand why they need to know things and the impact that knowledge has upon our lives. As a P.T.A. president my motto was “ The more you know the more you grow and the more you learn the more you can earn!”
I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. As a Literacy Volunteer and Substitute Teacher I was able to do that. I have a need to know approach learning. I’m rather no nonsense, but kind and patient. My goal is to help youth understand why and how they learn and help them use their knowledge the their daily lives so it help to develop the ... read more

I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves.
Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training.

My teaching style is very hands-on. I believe in practical knowledge and showing students several different ways to understand something. I also believe in providing students the opportunity to figure out solutions to problems on their own with encouragement, instead of just having them copy what I say. I also believe that all learning exercises can be challenging and fun, and not dull and boring. I plan to take what the child is interested in and apply it to their learning.
Since high school, my passion for telling stories led me to my degree in Journalism. I worked as a professional news reporter for two medium market stations and was on my way to work for a larger market. My career took a turn for the better and I found my calling was education. I have always coached and been a choreographer, so working with children and helping them succeed was also a passion. I hope to ... read more

I hold dual Masters degrees in Architecture and Construction and I have a passion for teaching. While earning my masters degree in construction I was a teachers assistant for construction courses and enjoyed teaching and helping over sixty students learn the material. While I was getting my first degree, which was in architecture, I worked at a music school and taught classes to children ages 4 and up. Currently I have been mentoring a middle school child for two years and I help her with math, spanish, language arts and social studies and she is doing great in her classes. I also currently tutor a college student in applied accounting and he is also getting better every day.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children are smart and can learn they just need someone who has the patience and ability to teach them as I do. I like it when children discover k ... read more

I would say that my teaching style varies depending onthe person I am teaching. There are several ways that people respond to in order for them to understand. I thik that everyone has a unique teaching style but still needs to be flexible in order to help the student understand.
I have been at Fccj for a little over two years. I have studied and mastered a variety of subjects. I am starting JU next summer to earn my BSN. I currently have my AA degree in nursing.I've spent a lot of time in the student life and leadership department that works one on one with students to help them with college success.

My teaching style consist of explaining the information, asking open ended questions and re-explaining the information again. If I notice the student is having trouble answering the questions then I use a different teaching approach. I try to relate the questions to something the person has experienced in his/her culture.
Since 1988 I have taught or tutored various levels of students from primary to secondary grade levels. As a student that always excelled (Member of Phi Theta Honor Society, Honor graduate, Raines Scholar, Who's Who Among High School Students, AP student, Vice-President of the National Junior Honor Society) I found it easy to help others understand concepts they may have missed during class. Most of the tutoring I did was due to a concerned parent asking for my assistance. One example was a young lady that I tutored during the summer. She had trouble during t ... read more

I have both the educational credentials as well as the work experience to be an effective tutor. As a professional, I have experience working in both the education and social work fields. This has given me a unique perspective on working with at-risk students. I have not only tutored and mentored elementary and middle school students, I have worked with them on goal-setting and behavior modification, provided counseling and family advocacy, and coordinated community services.
My one and only passion has always been children. I strongly believe that every child should be respected and given an equal opportunity for success. In my experience, most children learn best through hands-on learning opportunities. Paper-and-pencil work has its place, however, I find it's important to provide other methods of teaching that cater to different types of learners such as kinesthetic and a ... read more

I am the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally education. Near the end of this time, I felt that the best use of my talents and experience would be in the classroom helping to build a better society through the young people who cross that threshold. I spent three years in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area teaching 7th and 8th grade learning handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and autistic students. through all of these years I have also tutored students ranging from inner city broken homes to Ivy League geared people.
I have found that the best way to teach is to be f ... read more

As an educator and administrator with over 30 years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with students in grades 1-10, teaching many modalities. Besides my classroom experience, I have 12 years experience as a principal, 10 years as a director of a learning center where I coordinated daily operations, managed educational programs, etc. Recently I have devoted my time to tutoring, consulting with parents for better academic options, and home schooling.
I want children to know that learning is a lifelong experience and that it can be fun! Learning is a process of building blocks, and it is vital for a teacher to find interests and skills upon which to build. Children need to develop learning techniques that work for them, and it is imperative for a teacher to guide them. Children need self-esteem and confidence to be all they can be, whether it is academically or mor ... read more

My first job was with the Duval County Public School system(DCPS) as a paraprofessional at Fishweir Elementary, where I worked with children grades K-5th. My freshman year of college I tutored second grade students at Hubert O. Sibley Elementary in the America Reads program. Since then in I was hired by the Jacksonville Urban League as a substitute teacher based on the fact I have over 90 college credit hours in my chosen major English. I have gained a profusion of writing techniques due my extensive work with linguistic pedagogy in the professional writing field. Also throughout my years of learning I've tutored and aided several members of my church with their education.
Since I was young I've had a passion to help others learn. Anyone can learn something new on a daily basis even my self. You must remain teachable. I feel the best teacher also learns from their students. It is m ... read more
