I define teaching as the process by which I help students to learn. I guide learning by helping students individually, at other times instructing an entire class, and still at other times by encouraging class participation. Spontaneity is a valued part of teaching. If the teaching appears memorized, not spoken diaphragmatically, not spoken with eye contact, and if there are no visual aids, learning will likely not take place. Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. It is the goal of every student and the task of every teacher to increase knowledge and understanding in the classroom. I feel that the concept of learning should be focused around four main areas. Independent thought is essential to the development of each student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems will serve them both in and outside of the classroom. Group interaction is also an imp

I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles. I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor.

I learn best when I am to teach someone. I love the fact that I have to be enthused or they cannot be. My goal is to make a subject interesting. I am a firm believer in teaching through curiousity. I like William Glasser's approach to education and how it can be a joyful experience for all. I graduated with a teaching degree and taught high school as well as junior high. Since then, I have also been involved with elementary, kindergarten, and one on one reading (volunteer). I recently completed courses in Inclusion and Classroom management. Being involved in post-rehab and fitness, I have experience of working with adults as well. I am quite capapble of dealing with all types and ages of students.

I truly enjoy working with children. One of best rewards of being a kindergarten teacher is to see a child make progress in their learning. They are like little seeds that with the right care, attention, and tools you can help them blossom into beautiful learners. Currently I am teaching Kindergarten in Collier County. I have worked with tutoring students in various setting such as our school’s FCAT club and the afterschool program. I have a strong interest in working with younger struggling readers. As a recent graduate with my Masters in Education, I have spent the last three years researching and perfecting my understanding of pre-literacy skills and their correlation with successful learning. I also have a strong knowledge and background in developing writing skills in young students.

My educational background has given me a strong foundation in several areas of higher education. My undergraduate training began in Biomedical Engineering; however, I switched my focus to Biological Sciences, with an emphasis on Neurobiology and Physiology, in order prepare myself for further education in dentistry. I attended dental school, which relied heavily on my understanding of math, science, and engineering. My undergraduate studies also included a wide array of fine arts course work. My writing skills are strong and were utilized in writing essays, research papers, and laboratory reports. I worked during dental school as a teaching assistant for laboratory and lecture courses, which included tutoring students in dental course work. Additionally, I was hired upon graduation from dental school as an assistant professor, and taught clinical and laboratory courses in dental prost

It is the responsibility of a teacher to meet every child's ability level and learning style and to making learning fun. I try to reach the child's full potential through art, music, games and activities, at the same time, nurturing self esteem. I also think it is very important for a teacher to encourage higher-level learning in young children. I pride myself in the ability to communicate effectively with parents and to encourage a parent- teacher partnership. Only through parent, teacher and child relationships will ultimate learning take place . In thirty two years, I taught children of all socio-economic and ability levels, ethnic and religious back grounds. I have a Master's Degree plus 15 hours in Family Counseling. I achieved the highest level of teaching performance. (level III) in Tn. Career Ladder and spent two years working in Tennessee's Career Ladder program as a teac

My teaching style is focussed but relaxed and tends to incorporate real life and current events into the experience in order to provide a point of reference for the child. Mutual respect and effective communication of goals and expectations from both parties is an essential. I am a local professional with sixteen years of experiences in the Human Services field, most of those years in state and county government focusing on the protection of vulnerable populations. My other field of study in college was writing and I have strong grammar and vocabulary skills. I have edited medical research articles for several companies, edited newspaper articles, and I had a year of tutoring SAT prep courses through the Princeton Review.

As a undergraduate my main focus was interpersonal and intercultural communications. I tutored at a local high school for two years in many different subjects, especially math and english. I spent two years living in a francophone country in Africa and also have two years classwork in french as well. I enjoy teaching and more importantly I love helping others. I am patient, easy going and understanding. I understand that learning is a process and is not the same for everyone. Some people response better to different forms of teaching than others and that is one of the major challenges teachers face. I work well with youth and enjoy challenging myself and trying new teaching methods because any student can learn. Any student can succeed.

I am a very patient person and my teaching style reflects that. I will always make sure your child understands the concepts that the teacher is trying to teach. Even when he or she shows that the material is understood I will always go over it a few more times to make sure it really sticks. Everyone has a learning style that works best for them and I will try to figure out the method that will allow your child to improve the most. I will also try and make sure I teach at a pace that is appropriate for your child. I am a very recent graduate of Penn State where academics are a main focus. I have a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Political Science and feel qualified to tutor in spelling, writing, English, reading and related subjects. I would tutor a student in other subjects on a case by case basis. I have written a lot of papers and am very good at grammar. I have been an English tutor

I like to teach by example and immersion. So much of what schools preach today is rote memorization, and to a certain degree, this cannot be avoided. But whenever possible, I like to try and find real world applications and demonstrations to get my lessons across to my pupil. Throughout high school and college, I've always excelled in my school work. I was president of the math club and often tutored my peers during my spare time. The University of Florida has provided me with a well rounded education, and I feel myself knowledgable in many areas, from languages like french, spanish and hindi, to the sciences like chemistry, biology, and physics. I'm also very familiar with writing term papers.

I have earned a Doctorate in Education, a Master's of Science in Education, and a BA in Political Science, with a minor in Spanish.

I spent 6 years tutoring my children who were ESE and ADHD and have been tutoring others for a year. My students range from first grade through college in mathematics and grades 1-8 in all subjects and preparation for FCAT, SAT, ACT. I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in physics and and AAS in data processing. I use a variety of methods to teach effectively. I have taught many subjects and sports throughout my life. I have always enjoyed teaching. My tutoring results are mirrored in the grades of my students. I usually assess the present situation, attempt to bring the student current, then cover material expected for the grade level that may have been missed. A good basic knowledge and ongoing supervision with attention to student organization provides lasting results.

Teaching one-on-one is my forte. I can establish rapport quickly then ascertain what and how a person wants to learn in a time-efficient and respectful way. My approach is cordial give-and-take, with abundant humor and fun. It is important to have reperetoire of behaviors as an educator, clinician, parent and citizen. The challenge is knowing when to switch-up when the first tactic is not working. My aim is always to read the "message received and understood" light in a person's eyes, and the sense of mutual regard and appreciation in her face and body at the end of a session. Since 2nd grade, when my teacher sat me next to a 10-year old boy with Cerebral Palsy, it seems I have been called upon to instruct others. I tutored our high school rockstar drummer in French so he could graduate. In college I taught 3- and 4-year olds, learning as much from them,
