PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sanford, FL

I actually don't have much experience as a tutor beyond helping classmates study, however throughout my experience in high school I've experimented with and adopted many avant-garde and unorthodox studying techniques and thought processes that have served gratuitously to my benefit, and I'm positive will serve yours as well. I'm currently a senior attending Winter Park High School. I have a slew of education and extracurricular related accolades, and have been commended highly for my skills in writing (both creative and professional). My transcript has a long history of Advanced Placement courses and my standardized exam scores are impressive to say the least least (30 ACT, 1800 SAT, multiple AP Exam credits).

Every student has strengths and weaknesses, and these should be determined for efficient tutoring. I believe in helping the student to learn and making sure they have the knowledge and help to understand the material themselves. I have eight years of tutoring experience for students ranging from second grade to high school seniors. This tutoring has been in a variety of topics, from elementary phonics to high school geometry to handwriting. I have also had experience in tutoring for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and FCAT.

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparin

I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own. I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges.

I have had the opportunity to assist fellow student athletes while in college. I was also a mentor during my senior year for a 12 year old girl through the student athlete mentoring program at Florida A&M University. We participated in campus events in addition to spending personal time with her going to the movies and assisting with school assignments. I also have a high-school aged brother and mother who is currently taking college courses that I assist with assignments. I hold an MBA in finance and have always been strong in and excelled in the area of Math. I am also confident in my ability to write reports. Thank you for the opportunity. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn. I am not one who likes to do something for you but provide you with the tools to be able to do it yourself.

I take pride in my ability to be innovative and creative to teach all children the way that they learn. I truly believe that there are 25-different types of intelligence. As educators, it is out job to determine how kids learn and teach them that way; not expect them to conform to a formula or out expectation. All children are unique and are brilliant in their own unique ways. In my experience through course work and volunteer experience, I have instructed teens in mediation, leadership skills, and assisted them in making healthy choices, created a social skills curriculum, and learned various psychological techniques and skills for assisting people. By utilizing a multi-discipline approach, keeping accurate records of all sessions and interactions with the kids and their families, and communicating necessary information to team members.

As a University of Central Florida graduate, I strived to achieve a higher level of excellence in my studies.

During the last six years I have tutored students in reading, writing, and math. I love to teach and work with children.

I have earned a BA in political science, and I will finish my PhD in May 2006. Through my graduate work, I have developed very strong math and writing skills that would enable me to be a very effective tutor for students in both math and reading. I have also worked with students to improve their writing style in the classes that I have taught, teaching them basic grammar and essay organization. My goal in the classroom is to find a way to make my students relate to the material. I want my students to care enough to ask questions and work hard to understand the material. I enjoy teaching very much. I believe that it is an opportunity to teach my students that they can do anything that they want to do in their lives. I know that I have made a difference in the lives of my students, because they have told me that I changed the way that they see the world.

I have always been a believer in teaching by doing. Students (based on my experience) learn best by doing and researching while having the support of their facilitator. I am an advocate of cooperative learning in most cases, but I do recognize the importance of pulling small groups for more intense learning. As an educator, it is imperative for me to be able to identify each child's learning style and to utilize that to the best of their ability. I have taught fifth grade for the past 8 years. I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialty in math from Queen's College in NY. I taught for 4 years in NY before relocating to Florida. I was hired to teach 5th grade in Florida and have done so for the past 8 years. I was nominated for "Who's Who of America's Top Teachers" and for "The Disney Teaching Award." During the past 8 years, I have taught students with

I like to perform the tasks in front of the student and explain everything, step by step, as well as give information on why I'm doing that step. Then, if the student understands and feels comforatable performing the task, I'll let them try it with me, being there to help out as needed. I like students to be very hands on when it comes to learning. Once they feel comfortable performing their task in front of me, they can usually be on their own after that. I also encourage students to ask as many questions as possible, and there are no dumb questions. As a graduate of Purdue University, I have earned a bachelor's in chemistry. My chemistry degree is also accredited by the American Chemical Society. To achieve this, I had to take advanced chemistry and math courses. Also while attending Purdue, I was a team leader for their Women In Science Program. Throughout this program, I ment

My first teaching experience was in a private school for children with learning disabilities. After gaining that experience for several years, I was then employed in the public elementary school. While raising my family I spent 20 plus years homeschooling my own five children from K-12th grade. As my children grew up I developed a private tutoring service working with children of all ages on a wide range of skills from learning to read to Algebra I. I am also employed as a clinician with a private company that remediates and retrains the brain with special programs for people with specific learning disabilities. Having many years of teaching and parenting experience I am comfortable with all ages and all personalities. I am a warm, soft-spoken person who is able to make children feel relaxed and comfortable, yet I maintain authority and stucture to challenge and motivate. I am liberal wi
