CLAST Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sebring, FL

I am committed to helping each person reach his or her highest and greatest potential. My goal is to provide each student with an educational environment conducive for a successful learning experience. The tutor must establish the learning setting by creating parameters for the emotional, physical, and mental safety of each student. Specifically, this means the physical location must be without distracters, while the learning content is perceived as helpful, fun, exciting, relevant, and beneficial. The demeanor of the instructor must be serious while being neither stern nor judgmental. Over the years, I have consistently maintained both high moral values and excellent academic standards. While earning my two BA Degrees, I served both as a tutor and substitute teacher in several elementary schools. My second BA Degree was earned from Warner University in the elementary education majo

I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need. I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of need.

The last four years I have tutored at risk teenagers for a NY public school district. I also tutored privately. In NY I was a substitute teacher for K-12 which gave me experience in the different subject levels pursuant to each grade. Prior to NY, I was employed by Orange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida where I taught both 8th grade and 9th grade classes. I currently hold a temporary certificate with Florida and am finishing my Master's. My certificate is in General Science 5-9 but I have tutored other subject areas sucessfuly as well including GED prep and FCAT prep. My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to

My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies, techniques, and skills that will direct them on the path to help my pupils to want to succeed and to have the desire to victorious in their dreams and perceive the idea that life is predetermined by where you are; instead, they catch a glimpse of who, what, and where they can go in the creation to develop a dream. I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and who

As a graduate from the University of South Florida, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I earned my bachelor degree, BA in History, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of the social sciences as well as reading and writing. I had to learn extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and thesis papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last five years I have tutored students in history, English, psychology, the arts, mathematics, and sciences. I 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 constructiv

I just graduated about eight months ago with a B.S. in Biomedical Science from USF. I plan on going to medical school in 2010 and I am currently studying for my MCAT. Studying for this exam has helped me to gain both a further understanding of the sciences from my undergraduate studies (chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy/physiology, etc.) as well as how the sciences relate to and build off one another. I also am a very skilled writer and avid reader. I have extensive writing experience in both general writing (i.e. for English class) and scientific writing (i.e. lab reports and abstracts) styles. I have tutored children between the ages of 5-12 as part of an afterschool program and I have participated in many peer writing review programs at both the University of Miami and University of South Florida. English/literature and the sciences are my strongest su

I am a highly motivated individual with a heart and love for teaching others. During high school, I took advanced placement courses in English and Calculus and through these courses I was exposed to a large variety of concepts at varying challenge levels. In AP Calculus, I was able to utilize the foundations of mathematics as well as numerous other concepts. In AP English, I learned everything from classic literature and poems to advanced grammar and writing skills. At the University of Central Florida, I continued to excel in my courses and pursued a major in the legal field when I realized my dreams of going to law school. Through my legal education at Gonzaga Law School, I learned significant skills in proper grammar and writing as a result of the numerous legal research and written legal briefs required of law students and three years of required legal research and writing course

I took every math course offered by a 4 year college, student taught for one 6 week session, and took some educational courses. After home educating my 4 children for 17 years, I returned to school to complete an AA degree in liberal arts and a BA degree in sociology. I now work as a math teacher working with children who range in age from 9-17 and have special needs. I never give up on a child or an adult. I recently tutored a law enforcement official to help him understand and pass algebra. He didn't think anyone could help him. The schools told me my son would never learn to read or write. He is my only child out of four who reads lengthy books for pleasure. Everyone has a different style of learning. My teaching methods I alter to suit those needs. I spent three years trying to help my dyslexic son learn to read one sentence. I have patience and I love helping people. I am also
