All children learn in different ways and speeds. I am patient, and understanding. I will not give up on any child they are our future. I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the riht tools and education. Children need to find out who they are and what they want from life.

I truly enjoy working with others and watching the proverbial "light bulb" go off when a student "gets it." I am very comfortable and confident when working with individuals of all ages. I can contour my teaching styles to benefit adults, young students, and children. One of my primary goals as a tutor is of course to help the student comprehend the subject matter, but also to instill a sense of confidence in him or her. I believe that when a student is confident that he or she can do the work, he or she will do the work! If I can help one student succeed in his or her academic goals, I have succeeded in accomplishing mine. As an Eckerd College graduate, I have been exposed to an intensive four-year program focusing on molecular biology. I have taken many biological science courses including Cellular Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Physiology, and Genetics. Due t

I love using manipulatives with all subjects. It makes learning fun even for those that are frustrated with the subject. Since everyone learns in a different way I need to teach the material in different ways to find out which way is best for that student. By using manipulatives with verbal directions and giving examples for them to see covers the bases of physical, visual, and aural learning students. I was not very good in certian subjects like math in elementary school and I had to come up with ways to learn the material on my own. This has helped me to teach students that are like me when I was that age. I can relate to how they are struggling and their frustration in not keeping up with the rest of the class. I have been working at the same local elementary school since November 2006 working with EBD and VE student, tutoring students one on one and in small groups of up to four a

My teaching style is one that is more interactive than instructional. I continue to be amazed while I observe the thought process and problem solving techniques, of the many different and varying individuals and personalities. I am at my best in one on one situations, where I can troubleshoot and identify learning challenges in their early stages. I believe we retain 30% of what we hear and 50% of what we do. The remainder is acquired through repetition, which is a byproduct of a passion waiting to be discovered. My experiences involve the teaching and performance of music education. I am a skilled performer on the trombone, keyboards, drums and percussion. I am qualified to teach brass instruments at levels k-12 and stringed instruments at k-5. I have performed professionally in 7 states, Italy and Belgium, while serving in the military. I have created a choir for prime-time Europ

Having a great love for learning, I strive to achieve the highest level of education. I have an Associates degree in Secondary Education from HCC. During this time I completed 45 hours of observation with elementary and high school students. I earned my Bachelors degree from USF, majoring in English-Creative Writing. Here, I learned the skills I would need to teach my future students the joy of writing. I am currently working to attain ABA approved paralegal certification; in this field writing and grammatical skills are a must. I have experience as homework help teacher for a South Tampa Aftercare center. I have also volunteered for Primrose Preschool and done observation at Plant High School. I love children as of ages, and am eager to teach the writing skills, hoping they can find as much joy in writing as I do. I am patient and understanding, having worked with mentally ill persons

I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles. Every student has a different strength in which they are able to learn, and I believe as a teacher, it is important to recognizes these differences and be able to adjust or adapt to change in a short notice. The end result of an effective lesson plan can bring great reward in terms of a student’s success. As a teacher, I believe that the success of the student should always be the primary focus in the work of an educator, no matter what learning level or background the student has. In a little under two years, I have spent my teaching experience abroad, splitting time between contract work in South Korea and Costa Rica as an English Language Instructor of both Elementary and Ad
