Sculpting Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Spring Hill, FL

I'm an artist/ educator, who sees no boundaries to where thinking and art forms should go. I enjoy all mediums of expression, each for its own ability to communicate and serve its purpose. Life is about experimenting and mistakes happen, but never let this get you down. I've failed many times and always learn and come back stronger than before. Enjoy the moment too, don't always be looking too far ahead.* 20 years of teaching of Art & Design (4 middle school, 9 high school, and 7 college level) Relaxed, but always thinking. Merging ideas and mind mapping to get the form down. I like to use many mediums to help achieve the desired effect. Brain storming - Research - sketching - production - Assessment - Recreate

As an artist I am a visual learner, so I teach in that manner. I like to first teach the fundamentals of art such as perspective and proper proportions, how to draw from life, and a great understanding of color theory. Teaching these then allow no boundaries for personal creation and self expression. I will have a print out of the course and mini lessons to complete throughout the week as well as a materials list. Currently an art instructor at Painting with a Twist, where fun and fine art collide. I have experience with teaching all ages how to conquer a 16x20 canvas painting in 2 hours.

I graduated from USF with a B.A.'s in Anthropology. I also gained an immense knowledge in understanding and researching groups, as well as individuals, by participating in an Honors/Thesis program offered by the department of Anthropology. As such, I have acquired superb writing and grammatical skills. Additionally, I have played the viola, a classical string instrument, since the 6th grade. Being a well-rounded individual, I have also studied art while attending college, and enjoy creating my own arts and crafts frequently. Also, I speak and write some Spanish. I am currently enrolled in an Educator Preparation Institute to obtain my certification to teach. In the meantime, I am employed as a substitute teacher for Pasco County, and I previously volunteered for after school care tutoring programs for children between the ages of 6-18.

After volunteer tutoring at my daughters’ schools, I was determined to study teaching to have a better understanding of children with special learning needs. As a private college student, I was very motivated to obtain superior grades and I maintained an average G.P.A. of 3.50+ while caring for my children and home. As I began teaching I was involved in extensive professional development courses through each school district I worked. While working with many different teachers I aquired extensive amounts of content knowledge and teaching strategies in elementary education, biology, English, American government, world cultures and economics. As evidenced by my experiences, I enjoy teaching students on many different ability and grade levels. My students found me to be laid back and understanding with high expectations. I believe each student has a unique gift to offer but it takes enco

I believe that all teacher's should have high expectations of each one of their students. I enjoy doing this, because this is their daily encouragement. I enjoy teaching students through hands on activities because it engages them more into the topic that I am teaching. They are my motivation to keep educating myself in order to give them what they deserve. I have always been interested in helping others, sharing knowledge, and teaching. In the fall of 2000, I began my early childhood education undergraduate studies in Puerto Rico. In 2005 I changed my major to elementary education, consecutively obtaining a BA degree (in January of 2007) and finally graduating with Summa Cum Laude (in June of 2007).I am currently certified by the state of Florida in elementary teaching (K-6), CPR (for infants, children and adults), and basic first aid. My long term goals consist in keep growing profess

I love teaching all age groups of children. I know that every child is capable of not only learning a subject, but being successful at understanding and applying the subject material. I use a hands on approach, looking to see what strengths and opportunities a child has to offer and working to improve the child’s ability to learn the subject. I believe that children respond better to learning when they realize someone cares about not only them, but what they think. When a child is able to recognize that you value them and their opinion, it opens up a whole new door of learning for them Being a business student required many hours of research and writing. As I went further and further into my major it became increasingly important that my information was both current and accurate. This made me focus on being able to find, translate, and relate multiple pieces of information into a context

I love teaching children. I know from my experience everyone learns in different ways, but everyone can learn to their fullest potential if given the chance. I make learning fun and enjoyable for the child so that they understand what they are learning. I believe in teaching with visual, hearing, and hands on tactic. I like to see the expression on a child’s face when they have found the “AH-HA” moment. I like to make a difference in everyone’s life I touch. I currently hold an accredited teaching certificate. I also have graduated from the University of Tampa with a Bachelor in psychology and art. I have experience working and teaching children for 10 years. I have taught swimming for ten and I taught preschool for one year.

Over the years I have learned that all children are unique and have their own sense of learning style. I consider myself patient and hard working with a very flexible schedule. I have always focused on providing the best learning environment for the child, even if it means going to extreme lengths to help them learn. My main goal has always been to challenge the student and make a difference in their learning experience. As a graduate at USF, I have pushed myself very hard to be the best that I can be. As of August 2010, I will be graduating with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Public Health. My learning skills in college have been reflected in my tutoring. I began tutoring when I was in sixth grade. I started working at my high school daycare for three years and later transferred to the University Community Hospital Children’s Learning Center.

As an educator that has taught in both the private and the public schools systems for the last 19 years, I have learned a great deal.....the child must always come first! My degrees are in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with most of my career spent in Kindergarten and First grade. I have tutored students of all ages, and have even had requested to lower my rates to include a group looking to pass their high school entrance exams and work as a group. I am very patient, organized, and creative and use these characteristics to meet the needs of all my students.I am the tutor that is sought out in March, so the student will have one of the few spots that open up each year. I look forward to working with you and your child. Although I believe the FCAT is a test that demands respect, I do not teach to the FCAT.

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. I begin at USAA Child Development Center for almost two years. I felt so comfortable with the kids and I relished in the fact of being able to mold their minds to learn their abc's and 123'. I knew right then, this is going to be my career. I went on to Hillsborough County Headstart program, where I taught 3-5 year old for almost two yearss as well. It was definitely a challenge, but it was a learning experiencr. After that I moved on to becoming a kindergarten teacher for walton academy for the performing arts and I stayed there for five years. 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 i

During the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology I had the opportunity to work with the Maricopa College District, as well as the No Child Left Behind Program. While working with the Maricopa College District I assisted students that were enrolled in the ACE Adult Program. These students ranged in ages from 18 to 65 years old. Additionally, I worked with Martin Porres Educational Services and the No Child Left Behind Program. During my years of tutoring I have assisted students in Psychology, Statistics, math courses up to Calculus, basic science classes, reading, English, computer courses, and nursing courses (relating to mathematics). Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general.

I have worked as an elementary school substitute teacher for the past three years. I have substituted in math, science, music, language arts, etc. While teaching grades k-5, I have earned my teaching certification. In the summer of 2008, I tutored a second grader in math and had her dividing and multiplying in to time! Every student benefits from a special teaching style, dependent on the students' way of learning. I am best with teaching elementary school math using tricks and tools they may not get to learn in a typical classroom setting. I find it best when I ask a series of questions in the beginning to evaluate their knowledge. From there we determine the best way to learn. Sometimes students need help with discipline to memorize information. Sometimes students need material explained to them in a different way for it to "click".

I enjoy working with children and watching them achieve their goals. I help children achieve their goals, by teaching to their learning style whether it is tactile, visual, auditory, and physical or a combination. It is important to first understand the child’s needs and abilities and then create a lesson plan that best suits them. Learning is about discovery and it my job to help the children discover they can learn and enjoy it, too! I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and certified K-8. After 3 years of teaching I went out to earn a Masters degree in Reading from Baldwin Wallace College. I taught for 8 years in a first grade classroom. During that time, my classroom was filled with a variety of children with a variety of learning styles. I was lucky enough to have hosted the inclusion classroom and the gifted children t
