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

My primary aim in tutoring students is to assess exactly where they are academically, including reading level and math skills. Then I teach to their exact level. I help them to set up realistic goals and strive to meet those goals. Encouraging students and helping them to see their progress is a big part of their feeling satisfied that their efforts are showing dividends. I have worked with both the extremely bright, gifted students as well as those with learning disabilities so I understand the importance of proper pacing and the use of various modalities for successfully tutoring each individual. I have always endeavored to excel academically and so sought after and received a top-level education at Duke University. Having a love of language and having a desire to be able to teach at all levels, I obtained an MA in English from the UNC-G. I have had 43 years of teaching and tutoring at

My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own. I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges.

I have years of experience teaching in which I have seen children with learning difficulties rise to the top of the class. I believe all children can succeed with a supportive, firm, and caring teacher to instruct them, support them, and help build their confidence. I am calm, caring, easy-going, and positive. I enjoy teaching and seeing your child grow and learn things he or she may not have thought possible. I have a total of four years experience teaching. I have taught all subjects and all ages in private schools and public schools. I have experience teaching challenging students as I have taught in a Level 10 Juvenile Justice Facility for nearly two years. I have tutored elementary children as well and have references available upon request. My certifications cover all subjects up to the middle school level and exceptional education for K-12.

I love children and believe in every students potential in achieving higher grades. I normally access their way of learning before engaging into the lesson. I believe lots of learning takes place when a student's full attention is there. So i always work on ways to capture their attention first. Learning in a life long process and i would be glad to be part of it. As a trained elementary school teacher, I have experience teaching a group of 15 students at a time in a classroom. I teach subjects like English, Math and Science for students age 6 - 12 years. 5 years of teaching has given lots of subject knowledge.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Spanish and Religion. I have been tutoring for over four years at all grade levels. I won the scholarly writing award for my writing and grammar skills, and have a broad knowledge of English and Spanish grammar. I have tutored various subjects including math, history, Spanish, and language arts. I love teaching, especially one on one where I can give my full attention to the student. I taught K-8 Spanish, then third grade. I understand that each child learns differently, so many methods may need to be incorporated. Repetition is something I rely on to learn vocabulary words or important concepts. Music and games are a fun way to help children and adults learn difficult or lengthy concepts. I want to be able to not only help the child understand what they're supposed to be learnilng, but also to enjoy learning it.

In the classroom my teaching is as interactive and engaging as my skills and students allow. One-on-one teaching is very Socratic. I guide and coach the student to learn for themselves by understanding their most effective learning styles, their strengths and weaknesses, their motivations and frustrations. I believe in building confidence through success and positive reinforcement. I believe in striving for understanding over rote memorization and will challenge students to apply what they learn through probing and thought-provoking questions and challenging problems. Will update in future. In summary, almost 30 year in corporate MIS/IT professional and management roles including adult technical education.

In my ten years of teaching I have consistently worked to improve my level of instruction through inservice and available learning resources. The strategies I have implemented in my classroom have been highly successful. I have had the opportunity over the last two years to tweak many of these ideas while tutoring students in math and reading. Eight of these ten years have been spent in fourth grade, which for Florida, is one of the three target grades for writing. As a result, I have attended and presented many training sessions on writing strategies including "six traits processing", "write traits", and differentiating between expository and narrative texts as a writer. I have a very strong background in all subject areas and I am flexible enough to assist students in just about any area they may be struggling with. My teaching style definitely has a tiered structure. Because ch
