I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in". I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing. I have learned many skills, especially High Yield Instructional Strategie

My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies, techniques, and skills that will direct them on the path to help my pupils to want to succeed and to have the desire to victorious in their dreams and perceive the idea that life is predetermined by where you are; instead, they catch a glimpse of who, what, and where they can go in the creation to develop a dream. I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and who

My style of education has always been as an encourager/motivator. I worked with middle and high school students at a vocational center, who the regular schools had given up on. I had great success since I have a high level of energy and passion for learning and motivating people, whether in the classroom, on the athletic field or in the community and church arena(both of which I volunteer in). Our goal was to prepare students for vocations and professions following graduation and I was very successful at this task, as is testified by the numbers of students working and owning their own businesses in the Ft Myers, Estero and Cape Coral area! I am a retired educator! I was a teacher/coordinator in Educational Supervision(adm) of sudents at a High Tech Center. I was also involved in Hospital Home Bound education for Middle and High School students as an additionally my wife and I tutor via

Though I am an easy going person, I am no nonsense when it comes to learning. I am non judgmental about a person's ability to learn, only their dedication and willingness. I believe anyone can excell in any subject, if they simply have the will to do so. I hold a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and an M.S. in Environmental Biology. I entered college later in life and worked and paid my own way through. I have excellent writing skills and am proficient in nearly all areas of biological sciences. Specifically, I am well versed in the areas of taxonomy, evolutionary biology, and anatomy of both plants and animals.

I have always been driven to succeed, especially in school. I graduated magna cum laude with my BA in Communication this past December. This degree increased my own ability to communicate effectively and I am now pursuing a BA in English this Fall so that I can teach high school English. I am fortunate in that I have done well in all of my general education classes, making me confident in my ability to tutor algebra I and II, geometry, chemistry, biology, earth science, and of course English, whether it be writing, reading, or grammar. This past year I have been tutoring Algebra, as well as basic math skills in order to catch my students up to their current grade level. I have worked with children for what seems like my whole life, mostly through church. I know that every child can succeed with the right help. I myself am caring, compassionate, patient, and encouraging. I believe that my

I am a 2010 graduate of the Teacher Immersion Program (TIP) from Florida Gulf Coast University. I have my Florida Teaching Certificate and am Florida certified in Math (Middle Grades 5-9) and Elementary Ed. K-6. I have experience volunteering in intensive/ESE math classes (grades 6-10) and a 9th grade Algebra I class. I have always been good at math.

Currently, I am proficient in Algebra, Geometry (middle grades), Probability, and of course basic math skills. In addition to math, I can also teach Language Arts (reading and writing). I chose the teaching profession because I wanted to be a positive adult male role model for students. I believe all kids can learn and can achieve academic success with a teacher who is patient and supportive to their needs. I have a systematic approach

As an employee of Collier County Public Schools for 10 years, I have been in the education field and enjoy working with students of all ages.

Students should be taught as individuals based on their particular learning styles. People learn at their own rate. My philosophy is that all students can be successful if taught by a caring qualified teacher in a positive learning environment. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges of teaching. My reward comes when my students are successful in learning and develop positive self-esteems towards learning. I am certified to teach both math and reading in Florida. I am particularly strong in helping students to understand the basics. I became a teacher because I feel that I can make a positive difference in my students' lives while providing them quality instruction from a teacher who truly cares. My last teaching assignments were in preparing high risk students to pass the FCAT and the GED. My students exhibited a ninety-seven percent pass rate on both tests upon passing my class.

Twenty-five years of service as a Christian educator allows me to offer experience, wisdom, and commitment to my students. I hold permanent New York State certification for nursery - sixth grade. Besides teaching fifth and sixth graders full time for thirteen years, it has also been a blessing to teach at every level from pre-kindergarten to adult education. One on one teaching opportunities have always been part of my ministry. The following are programs for which I have tutored: LaGuardia Community College, Ronkin Education Group, and Huntington Learning Centers. My students have been successful by learning hands on math concepts, higher level thinking in the content areas, and development of language skills. Each person is wonderfully made! I strive to find what learning styles will nurture the maximum academic growth for each student. Patience, persistence, flexibility, enthusia

Helping people is a top priority in my life. Knowledge is important and necessary for success. I believe that everyone can learn given the right teaching method. I try to individualize the ways I use to help each student. I use hands on learning techniques whenever possible and I feel it is important to use many different teaching methods(oral, written and example) to get ideas across and maintain student interest. I received my BS in 1978 and my continuing certificate 3 years later. I have worked with youth(6th grade-12th grade) in a classroom setting. I have also worked with adult learners to re-train them for the workplace. Another population of students I have worked with were imprisoned youth aged 13-21. As a substitute teacher I did a great deal of tutoring, especially in math. I also taught several home-schooled courses. Most recently I have been a fitness instructor whe

Teaching has become something that I discovered a great passion for while I was educating parents in a Parenting Class for Foster Parents. Each student is different and therefore our goal as educators is to adapt and shift according to the needs of the student. I believe that all are capable of learning with the right instruction. Students must dictate the type of learning they feel most comfortable with and as the tutor, I must adjust. Children are visual, investigative, imaginary, detail oriented, readers, hands-on, and as the tutor, you must be prepared for anything. I feel I am capable of reaching and helping any child once I determine the best way to help them. My level of experience in the education world has gone onto the Masters Level and I am currently pursuing my double master’s degree in Psychology. While in college, I served as a tutor in the Psychology Department for freshma

As an Engineer major, I am interested in math and science in particular. I carried a 3.85 GPA throughout college, and earned a Golden Key International Honor Society award. I believe that working hard to achieve the top grades of your class will make you successful, and a good student. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I enjoy children who can appreciate being challenged, wanting to learn, and children who truly want to succeed. I always strive for the best. I believe anyone can meet their potential if they are willing and able to put the time, effort, and sacrifice into what they need.
