I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.I do and I get it.

The experience I have gained while studying Education and Psychology, along with administrating exams for Wonderlic Scholoastic Testing and tutoring has enabled me to learn through understanding, hard work and dedication. I have learned through extensive courses in Psychology on how we learn, education courses that break learning down, and working with children and adolescence for over ten years with tutoring and patience, that with the proper tools and guidance, anything can be achieved.
I believe that implementing the right tools, along with clearly stating what the student needs to learn, along with discussion, will ensure student success.Using multisensory resources, creatively using the newly formed knowledge, along with pre-testing will foster memory and recall.

More About This Tutor...

While completing my B.A. in Management at Eckerd, I learned how to write effectively and enhanced my understanding of grammar, mathematics, history, social studies and economics. As a volunteer tutor at a public school and at my church, I began to develop my teaching skills. These rewarding experiences motivated me to become a full-time teacher. Teaching English and Learning Strategies for four years has taught me how to address students’ individual needs. I enhanced my knowledge further by successfully completing two American Literature courses last summer. I continue volunteer teaching children and young adults at two different organizations.
I discovered my love of teaching when I started volunteering as a reading tutor and youth group leader. I am most effective when I work with students in a one-on-one or small group setting, which allows me to focus on individual students’ ... read more

My teaching style varies depending on who I am teaching and what I am teaching. The consistent skills I use in teaching are getting people to develop and use different skills, particularly learning material and being able to apply it to life, ensuring people, and learning analytical (problem solving) skills. My goals include not only teaching material and skills that will help students, but truly making a profound difference in their lives.
As an undergraduate, I worked as a volunteer tutor in the Robles Park/Seminole Heights area for two years. I tutored kids in math, science, English, and social sciences. I also tought sunday school in my church where I was involved in designing the curriculum and planning lessons. I am also an experienced substitute teacher. I've been recently certified to teach social science's in grades 6-12 by the Florida Department of Education.

My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessment. As a researcher investigating social learning theory, I have become equipped with the skills of noticing and reflecting on the behavioral "cues" of learning to further guide my students/guests to a higher ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) through engaging learning moments. I have worked with children as young as two and frequently facilitate the learning of older adult guests on matters of scientific principles and discovery.
My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential whic ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always excelled at mathematics. I once was certified K-12 in math. I have taught math at the high school level and have tutored adults prepping for the GRE. My degree in Humanities was fulfilled by taking coursework in American Literature and English, which I have also taught at a local career college.
I love teaching. My style tends to be very hands-on, drawing analogies from many areas to clarify student understanding. I do this through games and word play. I usually utilize mnemonic devices to facilitate memorization of difficult concepts.

I am most comfortable teaching with prek-5th grade students, because that is my area of expertise. I love teaching these age groups because they are so impressionable and some of them still have that child like innocence that hasn't been stripped from them yet. My goal is to make all of my students feel safe and secure, but at the same time they should be getting an education not having to worry about their home life or what their wearing or who is looking at them. My goal is to get them to focus on the schoolwork ad realize their full potential which is outside of this classroom
As a college graduate, I was ready ti conquer the world with my BA in Communications, but once I begin to think about what I truly wanted to do with my life, I begin to also look into childcare.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have not had any formal experience teaching however I did take two semesters of early childhood education in college as well as two semesters of internship in elementary schools. I have tutored several students including my younger brother and his classmates. I feel that my broad education and personal experience as well as my personality encourages as well as inspires the children I have tutored. I tutored students in English, Algebra and Geometry.
I love interacting with children. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn any subject given the approprate attention and attitude. The greatest pleasure for me is seeing the faces of these children when they understand something that they were having difficulty with. My overall goal and objective is to just to help and if I can reach one child I would consider that a success.

I derive great satisfation when I see my student learning their subject. We never should not assume that any child does not have the the skills to learn. We need to find ways and alternatives that could help them. Every student have the capacity to learn. We need to be open and use any tools available as a computer, softwares and a good attitude.

I love working and learning with students of all ages. I enjoyed working in a magnet high school that concentrates on leadership, career development, and breaks the mold teaching methods. I earned a Masters degree in Library Information Science and now work as a School Librarian and Technology Coordinator. Elementary school libraries/tech labs are a happening place! During these years, I also worked as an in home tutor through Get Smart, tutored with Sylvan Learning Center, and shared a classroom with another high school English teacher at Night School. I find it very satisfying to work with students as they supplement their education.
A positive environment and methodology is very important in the learning experience - especially if that learning experience is rooted in frustration. I do my best to connect the concept to a student's personal experience so they may relate and bu ... read more

As a microbiology student at the University of Florida, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry led me to take a position at the University of Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor and then later I also taught in a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in introductory chemistry classes. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my teaching and tutoring skills.
My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help gu ... read more

I have two younger brothers, ages 14 and 15, who I feel have made me that great tutor that I am today. Along with the assistance and support of my mother, we have pushed them to learn at a young age, and more often that not I grew up assisting them from their multiplication tables to beginner calculus. I feel that with constructive support and encouraging educators ANY student can flourish. I am very patient, try to convey concepts in simple step by step fashion, almost how I process it in my mind. I really strive to make a difference in all the young ones who I come across in my life.

I believe my role as a teacher is to empower students to come to their own understanding of events, theories and concepts. Due to the unique nature, cultural identity, and personality of my students this may sometimes entail entertaining a multitude of responses, calling for fluidity in thinking on my part and from my students as well. Together we sift through multiple meanings, interpretations, and conclusions continually referencing the valid data at hand. To help students in acquiring essential learning skills in all subject domains it is important to provide opportunities and experiences to develop an understanding of what critical thinking is and what it is not. I use scaffolding, modeling, comparing/contrasting, mapping, logic, reflection, peer evaluations and discussions to explore new ideas. Inquiry or discovery learning also aids in developing habits of mind that lead to cr ... read more

During my time as a student in the University of Florida's Proteach Program I had many opportunities to work in various classroom settings and ultimately receive a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in children's literature. Since my graduation in 2003, I have worked as a fourth grade teacher, a middle school teacher in a Montessori school, and an adjunct professor at St. Petersburg College. I have also worked as a private tutor. I have a strong background in literature and writing and feel prepared to work with students at every level.
Maria Montessori, one of the most powerful women in the foundation of educational philosophy, once said "Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” Each child must be seen as the individual that they are. Special attention needs to be placed on a child's growth both physically and em ... read more
