PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tallahassee, FL

Graduate student from Florida A&M University who seeks job to further degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts. I am actively seeking an education position. I have had the opportunity to function in an educational setting making it easy to adapt to new situations and faculty concepts. In the fields that I have previously worked, I have demonstrated for my employers an exceptional facility for meeting organizational objectives and demands. My superior and student's parents have recognized that I have created constructive changes in student's academics, play, and home lives. My philosophy on education consists of repetition, consistency of lessons/homework assignments, and active participation amongst the students that would be expected and required. The class would have assignments that would not call for memorization, but for critical and analytic assessments that causes children to thi

I am a very attentive person who reaches children where they are with respect to learning. I prefer to differentiate instruction based on a child's learning style, comprehension level, and prior knowledge. I am a very positive, motivational person who gives lots of positive reinforcements during the learning process. Throughout my undergraduate years, I knew that educating youth was something I was very passionate about so I made sure to not ignore my passion. I completed a minor in Education including such courses as: Classroom Reading, Evaluation and Measurement in Education, Core Classroom Management Strategies, Intro to Special Education, and Young Adolescence. Also, I have had several hands-on experiences including, an opportunity to tutor students one-on-one at an elementary school, and to serve as a classroom assistant at both an elementary and middle school.

I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor. In addition to my strong communication skills, I also experienced a unique high school experience, so I find it easy to relate to students who prefer non-traditional methods of learning. I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the

My unique experiences have provided me with invaluable teaching experience which has shaped my teaching style. The pedagogical approach I utilized in ESL teaching called “teaching English through English” has resulted in my highly creative, adaptive, and practical approach. I not only teach the material, but also teach problem-solving techniques to enable the students to apply their knowledge to every-day life. I approach students with enthusiasm; all children are able to learn, and learn successfully! I don’t see myself as an ultimate authority, but as a facilitator of learning. Most importantly, I approach teaching with patience and commitment, as well as a true desire to see all my students meet and even exceed their own expectations. While living overseas in both Ukraine and Mexico I taught ESL through a non-profit organization for 4 1/2 years. In addition to teaching beginning

The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best teachers, not only because they possessed the necessary knowledge, but because they were animated and caring and able to cater to students' needs. I believe all children can be made to see the benefits of education through the right teaching methods. If there is anything I do not know, I am able to research and learn about it independently. The most memorable teachers did not always know the answer, but they always knew where to find it or how to help the students find it. I take these lessons to heart and hope to use them to help others. I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction.

As a Master's student in English Literature at Florida State University, not only did I hone my own writing skills via academic papers and presentations; I also gained valuable teaching and tutoring experience as a teaching assistant. While enrolled, I constructed curriculum for and taught 2 sections of Freshman Composition per semester, wherein I instructed classes and smaller workshop groups in grammar, syntax, and composition. I've also tutored undergraduate and graduate students in one-on-one settings on a freelance basis. Through my experience as a teacher and tutor, I've learned that each student has a different threshold for learning, and a different speed at which they can process the information. The trick, of course, is to find the proper impetus and the proper speed for each student, and to nurture and enforce their efforts with positive feedback. I believe that I can provide

Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and psychology, and love to pass this knowledge on to others. I also have three cousins who have come to the United States from Taiwan to learn and I have spent an extensive amount of time teaching them ESL. My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having studied ps

I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed. My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions.

My experience with children and education are linked through my travels. I worked in a day care in Asheville North Carolina. I also volunteered at a mosque when I lived in London. I visited many schools when I went to Morocco. I am a student at Florida State University, working for a double-major in Creative Writing and Middle Eastern Studies. I have taken many English technique classes such as; poetry, essay, and fiction. I have extensive skills in grammar and English structure. My goal is to teach English abroad. I believe that education is the best tool you can give a child. I believe that to engage and educate children requires a personal, hands-on, and creative teaching style. I recognize that everyone learns differently. However, I believe that a child can learn anything if he/she sees the connection between the information and their daily life. I am patient and open-minded. I do

I've been told that I have a unique style of teaching. I like to teach using rhymes, antonyms, and relating the subject to familiar life situations. My experience with this style of teaching seems to help students retain information better while simultaneously enjoying the process. I try to incorporate fun into the learning process and always commend students for achieving their goals. Many times I offer incentives for improving grades or improved test scores/progress reports. I try to make the tutoring process enjoyable for both me and the student, while also making sure the student learns as much as possible in each session. I successfully completed a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Social Work and a master’s degree in Public Health with a concentration in Behavioral Science and Health Education. I have tutored previous college classmates and K-12 students in English, S

I strongly believe that the best quality a teacher can have is adaptability. As an instructor I have a responsibility to conform to my students learning styles. I have never met a student of any age who was unintelligent or incapable of reaching their academic goals. If a student is having difficulty in a subject it is the responsibility of the instructor to seek out new approaches of communication and student engagement. With adequate amounts of instructoral persistence, dedication, and adaptability any student, regardless of previous difficulties has an excellent chance for success. On a personal level there is no greater joy, or motivator than assisting these challenged students with reaching their academic goals. As an undergraduate, I worked with the America Reads Program, mentoring a first grade student with reading difficulties. We met three days a week for an entire school year

I thoroughly enjoy the transmission of knowledge. What's more is that I find it challenging and fulfilling to figure out what hindrances and expedients exist for individuals in their pursuit to succeed in their studies. As the student is attempts to learn their required material, I attempt to understand the student, which cyclically benefits the student in their studies. I avoid treating all as the same and instead I try to creatively develop the most efficacious routes for each. I am a person profoundly shaped by my educational experiences and thus believe in the importance of education, particularly in a person’s formative years. Throughout college, I often tutored individuals of all ages in an array of subjects. Elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college too. Upon graduating from UF I taught middle school mathematics for several years. It was certainly a fulfilling experi

Besides teaching language arts for the last four years in North Carolina, I have a lifelong interest in education, as so much was provided to me. I have tutored students from Japan, India, Puerto Rico and Mexico in vocabulary acquisition and conversational English. My background in journalism provides my strong foundation in spelling, grammar and reading comprehension. I have also completed graduate coursework in linguistics in San German, Puerto Rico, as well as a semester abroad in China, focusing on International Relations. I am eager to help children succeed in school, and feel quite capable in relating to students at their level. My teaching style has foundations in the Socratic seminar, where class discussions lead students to form their own understanding of the materials/subjects at hand. As students only retain 5% of what is spoken in lectures, I encourage students to follow a mo

As a poet, recent MFA graduate, literary magazine editor, substitute teacher, and college writing instructor, I’ve spent the better part of the last eight years developing a command of the virtues of prose and their instruction. During that time I've had the privilege of working with a diverse array of students, both young and old, developmentally disabled and gifted, traditional and ESL. In addition, for grades K-12, I've taught nearly every subject offered in the Anchorage School District. If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way to comb
