I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Personally, I like to incorporate many different learning styles, whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Regardless of the subject matter, I constantly try to find ways in which to make the material exciting and relevant for the student. Motivating my students has always been a primary goal. Even though the main focus has been mainly the mastering of various academic skills, I am also somewhat of an academic rationalist in that I feel that all students deserve to be exposed to great ideas that have shaped our civilizations. Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of

10 years experience training space operators for US Navy and US Air Force. Training includes orbital mechanics, space operations, and computer operations. Education includes 10 semesters of calculus, differential equations, and other higher math. Other education includes physics, geometry, trig, electronics, mechanical engineering. Happy to help in any of these areas. I like to start with where the student feels comfortable, then go from there. I do not dictate, but listen and understand first, then try to explain in a style the student likes. I am happy to get into other areas learning if the student or parent wishes.

love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I am a certified teacher with MS in mechanical engineering earned in Romania.I have taught children all my life begining in high school when my neighbors asked me to help their children.Because of the extraordinary results I had I continued helping as many kids as my tim

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.

My teaching style is tailored to each individual student. During our first two sessions, I will be able to determine which teaching methods get the best response. Some students learn kinetically, with lots of motion necessary to avoid boredom, while others must have all their senses stimulated. For each lesson, in order to gauge the response of my student, I include audio/visual for listening skills and oral comprehension, picture identification for level of language skills, singing, repetition for pronunciation and language acquisition, conversation, reading and comprehension, and writing/cloze exercises for production of learning skills. Warning: I give homework! My specialties are reading, writing, and speaking. For over 20 years, I have done performances and workshops on literature, history, and acting in a variety of school and library settings. Most recently, I have expanded my

I was taught by my mentor to allow the tutee to teach themselves. Instead of making corrections for them, it was our writing center's policy to insist that each student held their own pen and made their own corrections. We would engage in discussion and challenge them to spot their own mistakes, acting as an invisible hand guiding them towards the knowledge that would serve them throughout their academic career instead of us becoming a quick fix for the present tense. Nothing is better than the look of recognition on a tutee's face when the light bulb goes off and you know that they simply "got it." While I was employed as a writing tutor in college, I was also taking additional courses to improve my skill set as a tutor. We focused on interpersonal communication and reaching out to students regardless of any baggage brought into the tutoring session. I worked as an undergraduate teachin

I believe in learning from mistakes and not being afraid to make them. I believe in enhancing a child's self confidence and exploring as many avenues as necessary to learn a specific skill or develop an aptitude. I have a Masters in Public Administration from the University of South Florida. I have spent the last twenty years either volunteering, substitute teaching, working as a consultant or tutoring in Pinellas County Schools. I enjoy working with students to accomplish specific goals and learn through various and creative ways of exploring a subject. I have tutored bilingual students who were Bosnian, Hispanic and of Eastern European descent.

My time as an undergraduate at Duke University sharpened my intellect to an incredible degree. At Duke, I obtained a BA in Public Policy, a minor in Economics and graduated Magna Cum Laude. The rigorous academic environment at Duke taught me vital study skills while pushing me to improve my writing abilities and problem solving skills. I was further fortunate enough at Duke to have the opportunity to serve as a Teaching Assistant for both an undergraduate and graduate level course in policy analysis. The course was writing intensive, giving me experience in editing others work. I believe one of the most vital components of teaching revolves around guiding the child to find a sense of accomplishment in their work. Learning can often be difficult and frustrating but even the smallest sense that they are getting it, picking up something really helps an individual find the motivation to stay

All children can learn if properly motivated. I use a modified socratic method of teaching, engaging the child in a dialogue about the subject matter. We explore together using books and the internet to find answers. All of my students improved in their school work in a dramatic fashion. Some saw their grades jump as much as 60%. After 33 years of trial law, I decided to teach full time. I have taught various classes off and on since 1972. I have tutored students for the last two years, including 15 middle school english and math students this last year in Hernando County. I also helped these students with science, geography, and social sciences. I now live in Tampa.

I have three years teaching experience, mainly with disadvantaged populations, and five years tutoring experience. My rigorous teaching experience gives me the advantage of being able to work with any type of student with patience and courtesy. I coached volleyball at the Junior Olympic level for five years, working with girls from 12-18. When they had trouble in school, I tutored them before practice in a wide variety of subjects. The students told me they were appreciative of my ability to explain concepts and my unwavering dedication to achieving the goals set out for us. My teaching style is one of patience and encouragement. Not every student learns at the same pace. It is important to me to analyze the student's style of learning and try to comprehend where they might be having trouble understanding the concept or problem. For example, if the student has trouble with spellin
