I have been teaching special education for 12 years.

I believe in a student-centered environment. I believe in a comfortable setting while maintaining structure. I have a laid back approach and want to get to know the students and build a positive rapport with the students.

Experienced Applied Behavior Analyst available to assist.

I believe in the whole body teaching approach. I do not solely focus on the educational aspect, but also the social, emotional and physical development of each student I work with.
My interest in working with special needs children began after I discovered that my son was diagnosed with special needs. In working with him, I found that patience and consistency were the keys to success. After my son entered grade school, I trained as an Applied Behavior Analyst and started tutoring. I remained with one family for 7 years and gained a wealth of knowledge over the period of time.

I have work experience in teaching students with ECDD, Autism, Mental Retardation, Speech Impaired, Learning Disabilities, and other health impaired. The diversity of my academic preparation and work experience, from my internship as a teacher in a mental institution to employment as a Special Education teacher, has prepared me to be an effective educator. I am a teacher because I enjoy hard work and helping others discover success.  I want my students to experience meaningful, interesting learning that applies to their lives.  I believe this can be accomplished through the use of hands-on/minds-on activities, cooperative learning, an integrated curriculum, and, when possible, technology and the Internet.
While residing in New York City I obtained a Master of Science degree in Special Education. This degree has given me additional teaching strategies which I apply within the cl ... read more

I love teaching! I am so glad that I get to do what I love. While teaching, I have found a real love of tutoring. I feel it is a better way to meet the needs of my students. I believe many students learn at different rates and some students just need more time. Tutoring allows time for one on one interaction, where I as the tutor can find where the student has deficiencies. This tells me where I need to start and what we need to work on, to get the student where they need to be. This is our goal, to get the students to be successful in the classroom and in life.
I have always known I wanted to be a teacher. I fulfilled my dream by getting my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education. Before graduating college I took and passed my Professional Teacher Certification and Elementary Education Certification 1-6. While teaching at the Elementary level, I started tutoring prior ... read more

I have taught in the public school system for the past three years.Seeing as class size has increased, it has become more and more difficult for teachers to provide the individualized attention students' require. Being aware of different learning styles will also allow me to customize my approach that is best suited for each students situation. Working with a tutor can help bridge the learning gap and make a lasting impact on students and their future education.It is personally rewarding to know that you have made a difference in the students life. Flexibility, time management, a sense of humor and most of all, patience are all qualities that I would incorporate into my tutoring sessions.
After graduating from Florida State University with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Marketing, I began a career in retail. I developed good listening skills as well as being able to effec ... read more

In John Dewey’s spirit, I would say that education occurs when an individual is stimulated by the social situations in which he finds himself, that the materials of education consist of the physical, moral, and intellectual resources that humanity has gathered together up to now, and that the product of education should be a person who has developed actions and feelings that promote and represent the welfare of the group to which he belongs. In that vein, a school should be primarily a social institution where a conglomerate of these resources are located and shared; however, education is a life-long process that can occur almost anywhere. I also highly respect the book "Teaching in the Tao" by Patrick Christie.

A Little Bit About Me...

I volunteer locally where I assist in 3rd grade and Kindergarten classes by mentoring, guiding students though assignments at centers, and supporting the teachers during classroom activities. I have a degree in Environmental Engineering and I worked for 10 years as an engineer, providing me with a strong background in math and science. I am now transitioning my career into education. My goal as a tutor is to ensure that children receive the extra help that they need so they can master the required classroom curriculum.
I believe that each child learns at their own pace and each child is inspired to learn by different things. Children need to be engaged in the learning process for it to be successful, therefore where some children may thrive in the conventional classroom setting, others need more individual attention. My goal as a tutor is to help children master the requir ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My educational and work experience backgrounds have provided me with proficient skills in math, organization, multi-tasking, computers and various software programs. Since 1992, I have taught subordinates, peers, managers and directors how to manage their budgets, understand their financial reports, and how to use their computers more effectively. For the past four years I have taught medical assistant students in the subjects of using a computer in the office and business ethics. I continue to improve my teaching skills by taking on-line teaching courses.
I have a natural gift for working with children. I am a good listener. I am very patient with those I teach.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is professional yet fun! I am always on time and I take my work very seriously. However, I find that humor can make learning fun and a lot easier for those that are having difficulty learning. I make sure to always try and teach a lesson through hands-on methods or games! However, not all leassons can be taught this way. Therefore, I like to provide humor for the students to make the atmosphere light and enjoyable. My ideal classroom is having all the students laughing and enjoying themselves in an acceptable manner. Yet I still require respect and hardwork from my students.
I have been passionate about Education since I was in High school. As a High School Senior, I became a Kindergarten Teachers Aide at Palm City Elementary during my 2 blocks off from school.
