Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Terra Ceia, FL

Taught and tutored Latin I and II for 10-plus years I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry. Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

While I graduated Summa Cum Laude with the bulk of my courses in French, History, Psychology, and Classical Studies, my tutoring experience varies over a range of subjects including French, reading, grammar, math, science, history, and study skills. I have over 10 years experience tutoring, both formally and informally, from the kindergarten to college level in both private and group settings. My experience also includes work as an SES tutor I am dedicated to being individualized and believe that my greatest asset as a tutor is an ability to adapt to different thinking styles and situations, often on the spur of the moment. All of my tutorees have learned to trust that I will come up with a way that he/she can understand the subject material. I believe that unraveling the way a student conceptualizes is key. When it comes to a skill, I like to start as basic as possible, then move on t

Excellent with children, I can adjust my teaching style with the personality of the child. No child learns the same, so it is important to create a learning plan that builds trust and respect between the child and tutor. I have found my greatest attribute is the ability to make learning fun and “cool.” I am passionate about teaching. If the children you teach can sense your passion for the subject, they will absorb that energy and want to excel. I also consider myself very patient - frustration has a very negative effect when trying to create a positive learning environment. Finally, I believe in creating a benchmark style constructional curriculum. I strive to instill the same love for learning my teachers gave me. Learning is for life. My education is a private-based curriculum comprised of small student-teacher ratios. Since 4th grade I was taught intensive Spanish. A prep student,

I prefer inductive teaching rather than imposing lectures. An interactive style enables students to feel they are a part of the process and it personalizes the activities so that a feeling of success is ever present to solidify the foundations upon which to build a substantial knowledge base. I take the students from where they are to where they could be and urge them with positive feedback to reach goals they might have felt were otherwise unattainable. I treat them with respect which is returned without reservation. Having been a secondary school educator for so many years, I have observed the changes in trends in teaching as well as in learning. I have adapted my personal views to change with the trends so that I could incorporate novel techniques and personal creativity to enable all students to achieve at least to the height of their abilities. I have learned in corporate computer

Teaching and tutoring, while similar, are actually two distinct practices. While teaching presents a subject to a large group of students, tutoring requires the tutor to work with an individual to determine his or her strengths and weaknesses, and go forward from there. As a tutor, it is extremely important to identify an individual's needs and work together accordingly. I am currently a middle school math teacher in Hollywood Florida. Prior to accepting my current job, I taught English in Japan for two years. My teaching experience, along with a liberal arts education at Emory University, has primed me to be a successful tutor in a variety of different subjects.

My favorite part of tutoring/teaching is the moment when you can see the proverbial "lightbulb" go off in a students mind. The moment they begin to understand whatever it is you are teaching is such a rewarding experience for me. I wouldn't say I have a set method for tutoring, I gauge an individual's learning style as I get to know their academic strengths and weaknesses and I adapt my teaching methods to fit their specific needs. With an extensive academic background in both the sciences and the arts, I have used many methods of learning. My strengths vary from languages to chemistry and I am an avid writer. I have experience tutoring peers in college and since graduation I have tutored children in elementary and middle school. I have tutored students in Latin, French, Chemistry, English (writing classes).

As a law school graduate and a licensed financial advisor I pride myself in teaching my clients why I am taking a certain course of action. I have earned two degrees a bachelor's degree and a law degree. While in law school I wrote for the school newspaper and as an undergraduate I wrote numerous research papers I have also have 25 years of practical experience in business. I enjoy teaching others regardless of their age. I firmly believe that positive reinforcement is vital in teaching and engenders academic success. I am patient and easy going and respectful of others. I also am aware that each student learns in different ways, I witnessed this first hand with my own children. I was intimately involved in their education from pre-school through graduate school.

High-schoolers are my favorite students because, at 21, I am young enough both to garner respect and to build rapport with them. While accelerated students are often a pleasure, I enjoy working with slower students because their little breakthroughs are eternally satisfying. In the classroom, I like to stay casual but still maintain an environment in which everyone can learn. I focus on positive reinforcement and encouragement and try to relate to my students on a personal level. Listening, to me, is the key to good teaching; I don't mind hearing about my students' messy romantic entanglements as long as their stories can become viable supporting paragraphs for an SAT essay! I graduate on May 6 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature.

As a National Merit finalist, I have always been a dedicated, well-rounded student. I just recently graduated from the University of Florida with my BA in English (high honors) and minors in French and Latin. I'm a writer with excellent language and grammar skills. I have been tutoring since I was seventeen. During my college career, I tutored fellow students in English and writing. I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I am infinitely patient and understanding. I have a natural ability to spot the source of a student's misunderstanding and then to clear it up in a way in which they will best understand. My goal is not to produce a pupil who can glibly repeat back the information I've given him, but who can apply the data with confidence so that he can see the importance of it and use it later on in his studies or in life.

As a graduate student, I have been able to gain profiency in many areas of math, English, psychology, and overall science. I have extensive experience in writing research papers, lab reports, essays in many various areas of study, and an in-depth clinical psychology thesis. During my tenure in graduate school, I tutored students in English, psychology, mathematics, and sciences. Statistics, psychopharmacology, some chemistry, some of the physical sciences, English, and many other general topics are part of my knowledge base. I am competent with a variety of ages. With my counseling experience, I am able to foster a relationship with ease. I believe in making learning interesting and fun, while also expecting a high level of performance.

I feel that I am an empathetic teacher yet I hold my students to high standards of accomplishment. I try to bring a variety of materials to the lesson that help the student gain insight into the objective of the lesson. I try to make the lesson challenging, interesting and fun. Any good teacher will try to discover the strengths and weaknesses of their students and play to their strengths while remedying their weaknesses. Students need to discover the world but they also need to understand the perspectives of society and its cultures and traditions. Students also need to learn how to learn so that as adults they can continue to progress and advance. I think successful students become life-long learners. When I discovered how much I enjoy teaching I prepared myself to launch a second career. I earned a second degree and have almost completed my M.A. in History at USF. along the way, I hav

I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned in the lectures. The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encouragement whe

I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firmly convince that all children can achieve the maximum of a classrom expectations if all, the methods, environment, and management, and dynamism are present. Finally great teachers can always be defined not by the amount of their experiences but by the difference they made in their student' lives.
