I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledge in the humanities, and my liberal arts education has helped me develop high reading and writing skills. I have four years of experience running writing workshops and tutoring first-year college students and non-native English speakers in study skills. From these experiences, I have gained expert knowledge in teaching literacy and study skills. Also, from my time teaching at a public high school, I am very familiar with the types of expectations teachers have of students and can help students "crack the code" of multiple choice, short answer, and research assignments and tests. My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individu

I gear my teaching style to the individual I am working with. In 14 years I have learned that even though a method may work for one student, it does not necessarily mean it will work for another. In the first few session I test a small variety of applicable teaching methods and adapt them as time goes on. I have been working with students in both one-on-one and group settings for going on 14 years. I began tutoring groups of children at an inner city after school program in Language Arts and Reading Comprehension. I went into further training at my high school and became a designated math tutor for those in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry. After high school I revisted my loved for tutoring at Jefferson County Community College where I tutored Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Study Skills. Throughout the years I have tutored a variety of students in various areas through freela

I use a practical approach to help students to strategize and implement their ideas effectively in creative writing and communications. My math and science skills allow me to offer many different strategies and explanations to help create a more complete understanding of the topic. I have tutored on many levels of math from algebra through calculus. Other areas I have proficiently tutored in physics, chemistry, creative writing, and test preparation. I worked as a math T.A. at Tallahassee Community College for two years. I have many years experience in tutoring people from all walks of life, gender, age, and ethnicity.

I have a good experience of tutoring hundreds of students over a decade period of time. I have tutored from first grade student to bachelors' degree students. I have formally taught students from grades four to ten for six months as a science teacher. Recently, I helped my wife in Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Lab and College Algebra. She got straight A's in them upgrading her GPA. Most importantly, my tutoring helped my students to uplift their self-esteem, confidence and to accept learning as a process which can be made more pleasant and simple. :)

Even though I received my B.A. in Criminal Justice, I am knowledgeable in several other areas of study. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays because of my interest in other various fields of study. I believe children want to learn, if it is done with humor and patience. It just takes the time and effort to find the way that works best. I am a person that wants every child to succeed and will work to find the best way for your child.

I have tutored students of all ages and abilities in math and economics for six years. I have learned that teaching quite often involves more than helping students learn the topics listed on their syllabus. My most challenging and rewarding tutoring position involved working with learning disabled students. I became a mentor to many of these freshmen; teaching them study skills and helping them adjust to college life. Last summer, I taught Health Care Economics to forty University of Florida juniors and seniors. I was responsible for all aspects of the class including planning lectures, creating exams, and grading. I also became a sounding board for students wishing to discuss career choices and graduate school. At the conclusion of the course, I received exceptional student evaluations. I know that the extra time I have spent with my students has helped them become better studen

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

As a Training Coordinator for service-learning projects throughout Florida, I learned about the effectiveness of service-learning strategies. The opportunity to apply what is learned in classroom settings promotes retention of all subjects. In one project, students learned about homelessness in Palm Beach County, Florida and throughout the United States. Students empowered themselves when they spearheaded a food drive and conducted an assessment of homeless people in Palm Beach County. This process enriched their empathy for people in need. In addition, I challenge students with thought-provoking situations that increase their critical thinking ability and communication skills. One such example included the shootings at Columbine and why young persons might commit such an atrocity. This helps to promote self-discovery and critical thinking as well.

I enjoy working with students in all settings, including small groups and one-to-one. My personal specialty was in one-to-one math and science tutoring. Students do best when they have a goal to achieve. My goal with each child is to use positive reinforcement and encouragement. I try to consider each child's individual learning styles when working with them. It is extremely important that the setting is comfortable and conducive to learning, whether it is in a classroom or a library. After graduating from Florida State University, I received a job at DISC Village in Tallahassee Florida as a Prevention Counselor in the Beta program. This program was school-based and involved working with at-risk middle school students at Wakulla Middle School. My duties included instructing 12-26 students in 6th-8th grade in social skills, behavior improvement, drug prevention, and study groups/tuto

During my ten-week internship at the middle school, I had five classes of sixth grade advanced reading students. Since each class was about 20 students, I had about 100 students in total. The middle school has about 908 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. Of those students, 58% are white, 24% are black, 8% are Hispanic, 4% are Asian, and 6% are multiracial. There are 49 teachers and three administrators in the west Gainesville middle school. Thirty-nine percent of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Teaching Goals and Focus Lessons: The goals for the class included addressing the different elements of reading.

I firmly believe in students succeeding in school and life. Having a love for learning and school is the key to good grades and a healthy attitude. I don’t believe any child wants to fail. Quite the contrary, children want to succeed. When students fail, it is because the system failed them and not the other way around. I believe the key to teaching kids is to help that child experience immediate success so they can gain self esteem during critical elementary school years. Next, areas of strength need to be identified and emphasized while weaknesses need to be improved. Meanwhile homework cannot be treated as an isolated event, but should be incorporated into the learning strategy. I am a mother of two school age children with entirely different learning styles and a college graduate who has tutored friends and family for the past 14 years. I believe that learning is an enjoyabl

I graduated from Florida State University in 2004 with a B.A. in Spanish and Italian with a minor in French. I have been tutoring with the Modern Language Department since 2001 and tutor in all three languages. I also spent a month in Spain teaching English to native Spanish speakers. As an undergraduate, I was involved with the America Reads program, where I was a reading coach/language arts tutor to elementary and middle school children. I am also qualified in tutoring basic math and college prep math. As a teacher/tutor, I find that being a good listener and paying attention to students needs creates a successful learning environment. Every child acquires information differently and their ways of learning should be respected. By creating lessons based on exciting, "real world" applications, students are more accepting to the content at hand.

The first year of teaching... Nothing could have taught me more about teaching or myself than this past year. My teaching style was solidified; my confidence in classroom management was grounded; and my teacher judgment was clarified. I am a gentle teacher, but not timid. I establish rapport by loving and respecting my students, first and foremost. It is important that they trust me before they can learn from me. I like to teach with the same enthusiasm for every concept and idea I present, as if each were the neatest thing I've ever heard. My goal is to equip and excite the students, and then draw them in, so they can take charge of the exploration. I encourage my students to think more critically, to imagine more vividly, to communicate more intentionally, and overall, to push themselves to create a better product than they thought was their best. I have been tutoring for as long as I
