I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the student becomes engaged in the learning process. I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Voluntee

All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored for individual strengths and weaknesses, facilitating the learning process and desired outcome. Most people know intuitively how they learn, as well as which modalities work best for them. Paying attention, listening, probing with questions, observing responses, being patient is the first part of my job. Often times the student knows what works best and can even tell you. So I just need to pay attention. Once the diagnosis is evident then I can prescribe, or at least give suggestions that help facilitate the desired outcome. Then it's evaluate, make adjustments, continue and expand on new learning sets and ac

Highly application oriented teaching methods stemming from direct field experience in modern engineering (advanced energy systems in nuclear, wind, solar, and robotics or special purpose machinery). Students not only learn from me their course work but also how to apply it to real life situations and the considerations that go into such real life applications. The result: students grow more comfortable and confident in what they are taught because the teaching becomes more of a partnership in real life. Award-winning US citizen educator of IGCSE (Cambridge) and IB physics/math with over nine years of teaching experience from USA to India.

I have been teaching for the last 8 years. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree from Greensboro College in North Carolina. I am Florida certified in Exceptional Student Education and Middle Grades Integrated curriculum. I am currently teaching Science, Math, Life Skills and Social Personal Skills. I have a great deal of teaching children who have difficulties grasping subject matter. I utilize proven research based protocols to ensure that my students are getting a quality education. I am a firm believer in that every child can succeed in whatever they strive for if they are given proper instruction. Even difficult learners can succeed if the proper teaching methods are employed. Different students have different stimuli that they respond to. There is no one cookie cutter mold for teaching. After all, each student is an individual and responds in their own way.

My teaching style is a mixture of rules and rewards. I believe that most children are eager to please and will often work harder when given positive reinforcement. By given them rules you are also giving them opportunities to excel become well rounded individuals. I have been working with educating children through various forms of community outreach for years. I began tutoring when I was in high school through the National Honor Society. I assisted students from pre-school to senior year in high school in all subject areas (Math, Science, History, English). This year I have been working with Americorps at Bond Elementary. The programs main focus is helping children who are below grade level to raise their reading scores. This has involved extensive training and certifications. I fill out weekly and monthly tutorial reports for each student to track progress. I am currently working with

I truly enjoy teaching, regardless of age or level. In order to succeed, I believe my students should possess a positive attitude when it comes to learning. Learning is about having the right attitude, and of course, the right help. I am flexible, but disciplined, and I will ensure my student learns the information correctly. I am persistent; if a student does not understand something in particular I will work with them to make sure they understand the material thoroughly. As a graduate of Florida State University, my ambition to achieve my goals and the highest possible level of education has never wandered. I have earned my bachelor degree in Finance and Economics, which has required an ample understanding of mathematics and statistics. Also, thanks to my European background I am particularly gifted at learning languages and at teaching them. I am a fluent speaker of English, Spanish a

I consider teaching as the most noble work a person can do. Both my parents are teachers since 1970s and I carried that gene. In my opinion, teaching is a partnership between the instructor and the student. Feeding the curiosity of the students can help them get passionate about the subject and try to find answers. Such style helped me explain hard subjects such as cryptography to non-computer students. Moreover, technology can enhance the learning experience by providing intuitive tools such as social networking to better the communication between students and instructors. A successful instructor is the one who is ready to be the student of his students. My fascination with computers led me to ear two bachelor degrees in computer engineering from Morocco and computer criminology from the Florida State University. Both degrees challenged my comprehension of complex problems in math, algo

I really enjoy teaching and working with students and continue to develop new ways to make learning fun and engaging. Focusing on each student independently, I differentiate instruction based on each individual's learning style. I value learning in a way that displays passion and a serious interest in every subject I teach. I believe in a fun and relaxed approach to learning, but maintain a focus and discipline I feel is required to achieve academic success. I have been working with youth for over ten years. As a private music instructor and substitute teacher I have had the opportunity to work with students K-12 with a wide array of abilities. During the school year of 2009-2010 I was a para-professional in a Kindergarten PDD class (pervasive development disorder/autism) where I helped administer IEP directed lessons for 8 children on the spectrum.

Upon graduating with a BA in International Affairs and Spanish in the Spring of 2003, I traveled to India to work in an orphanage and school for orphaned and underpriviledged children. For six months, I taught a wide range of subjects, including Reading, Writing, History, Social Sciences and Math in a small classroom setting (10-30 students). Last summer, I traveled to Guatemala and Mexico to work in an orphanage for abused children, to where I also returned for the past Christmas break. In the orphanage, I tutored children on a one-to-one basis in Math, English, and Reading. I also worked at an after-school program during the Fall semester of 2005, where I offered homework help to Third grade students. I truly enjoy teaching and working with children in all capacities. I believe that I am best when teaching on a one-to-one basis. I consider myself to be a very patient person and ha
