Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Valrico, FL

I take a student-centered, hands-on approach to teaching. Individual learning styles must be addressed, and tutoring is an excellent way for a student to receive the type of instruction best suited for his/her learning style(s). Science can often be a difficult subject to learn, and also a difficult subject to teach; often requiring a careful blend of subject mastery, an arsenal of teaching strategies, and creativity. I have 4 years of combined instructional experience from teaching at public high school and at a state university. I have taught across the spectrum; from learning disabled (ESE) to gifted (IB), as well as college students. A 60-hour ESOL class has been completed (as required by law), and I have worked extensively with ELL students. The following is a list of the disciplines in science for which I have experience teaching: Biology (regular and honors), Ecology, Physica

I am a teacher because I enjoy helping students. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy seeing students reacting to unerstanding concepts. I strive to have students understanding the concepts they are working to learn. I teach at the rate of student's understanding. It is not beneficial to go on without students understanding the previous concepts. Since I have a lot of classroom experience, I can present several explanations for difficult concepts. My students have always done well on AP Physics exams, New York Regents exams, and other aptitude tests. I have taught physics and mathematics in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Florida. I have taught mathematics through calculus and AP Physics. The majority of my experience has been at the high school level. In addition I have tutored students at summer camps. I have also tutored students preparing to take the New York Regents Examinations.

I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students needs are, and because it is based on the different students I am blessed with each term my style is constantly evolving and changing. I feel that I do make a difference in the lives of the children I teach because of my drive and willingness to go the extra mile for each one of my students. Watching my student grow is the greatest gift as an educator and one of the reasons I continue to teach.

One of the reasons I liked math when I was a student myself was because there is always one right answer. However, what I love to teach my students is that there are always multiple ways to find that answer. I often demonstrate several ways to solve a problem and look out at my students and see their “light bulbs” go off at different points of the lesson. Because children all learn differently and at different speeds, I think it is important to take the time to expose them to various methods of problem solving. In middle school, I believe it is crucial to give students all the tools they need to be critical thinkers. I also focus on teaching organizational skills and practical applications of concepts. Upon completing my degree in Marketing at Notre Dame and after internships in the banking and advertising agencies, I knew the corporate world was not for me. I took a position in th

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.

Since my days as a math tutor in college for high school students, I knew that I had the ability to explain numbers and abstract information to students across the demographic.
