As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obstacles during the learning path, is a blessing! I have been blessed to teach students of all grade levels (PK-College) and have tutored students from ages 5 to 25. Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses t

I use whatever works best for the child and can hold their attention span. It depends largely on the child's age, interests, and whether or not there are any learning, or any other disabilities. All children are capable of learning and enjoying to learn. I believe all children, whether normal developing or special needs deserves the same experiences, just delivered in different ways. I have worked in both General Education and ESE education. I speak spanish fluently and french, semifluently. I also have some background in American Sign Language. I have also worked with the emotionally disturbed child.

I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. in Elementary Education and Endorsements in Reading and English Speakers of Other Languages. I am currently working towards my M.ed in Reading Education at the University of Florida. During my schooling I gained experience in grades K-6th by working over 200 hours in schools. As part of my program, I also completed two part-time internships in 5th and K and a full-time internship in 3rd grade where all of my students passed the FCAT with a two or higher in math and reading. In addition to school, I was a part of the Best Buddies program and executive board which worked with people who have intellectual disabilities and I feel confident in my ability to meet the needs of others. I enjoy learning and I strive to teach so that my students enjoy learning as well. I choose to cater my instruction to my individual students so that

1) My experience has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of 11-21 year old students, who have an equally wide range of educational abilities. I worked one-on-one with students with special needs and helped educate students in regular education classrooms. Working with these students has allowed me to develop and adjust my teaching style to meet the needs of the students. For example, if a student was a visual learner, I utilized illustrations and created visuals to aid in their comprehension of the subject. If a student was a tactile learner, I provided creative and fun ways to make physical examples that would aid in their learning. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2007. I worked at Savanna Oaks Middle School in Verona, WI as an Educational Assistant specializing in Special Education for one year. I created lesson plans

I love teaching and working with children. I believe good communication is what makes life efficient. In my mind, good communication requires a positive, instructive, and detail manner. A better future requires a better education now, and how we pursue it is vital. Education empowers a mind, attitude empowers a lifestyle. As a former student and professional athlete, I am a very self-motivated person. From the University of Florida I earned a B.A. in History and a Minor in Education. Last year, I worked in the classroom as a substitute teacher on all three major levels of grade school education. In addition, I have been a supervisor and counselor at various camps which require long hours and spendig individual time with children.

I spent some time in college tutoring other students in subjects such as mathematics and Hebrew. I was asked by the academic support office to tutor because my advisor knew I was a committed student with a strong knowledge of many subjects. I was honored to be thought of in such a way. I did well with my students and they respected me. I was serious about accomplishing the tasks at hand when I met with them and the overall reflection in their grades showed very positive results. I am an excellent choice if you are looking for a tutor who is hard working, intelligent, and devoted to helping his students really grasp the concepts at hand. I consider myself to be a very good people person. I have a way of relating to the students that I'm helping. As mentioned above, my students respect me and see that I am serious and focused on helping them succeed in their studies. I look forward to

Learning has always been fun to me. I love helping and teaching others, especially kids. My Godmother has been the Director for tutoring services for FCAT for many years so I’ve shadowed her majority of my life. While in high school I tutored her elementary students after school in basic algebra and science. We also tutored middle school students on Saturdays getting them prepared for FCAT. I tutored kids in reading and math, mostly math because I have a strong background in math and I’ve always excelled in the subject. We’ve made a great difference in improving FCAT scores, making learning more fun for students while building their confidence in their ability to learn challenging things. I enjoy making learning fun for my students because it keeps them entertain and ready to learn. I like to find out what my students like and construct my teaching around that because it becomes

I am creative, witty, and have a great rapport with students. I understand the nuances of various learning styles and my first priority is to discover the style my learner is. I administer diagnostic skills which I use to help with reading and writing comprehension. I have taught FCAT skills as well as college prep. I believe in hard work, practice, and rewards. Having a background in minority education from UNF and ESOL certification has helped me understand how best to help students from different cultures and countries. I am passionate about teaching and as a recent retiree, I miss the opportunity to work with students. I have taught AP language arts, standard English to all levels of high school, drama, speech, adult ed (FCCJ), and dual enrollment English Compostion, and Introduction to Literature. I am distressed at the lack of student expertise in composition and I believe in

I have an interactive teaching style, focusing on accurate information and positive motivation. I will provide ample opportunity for students to learn though assignments, puzzles and real-life, practical examples. I’m naturally cheerful and encouraging with an optimistic outlook which makes practice not feel like work, although I expect students to work hard. My personal beliefs and life experices steer me in the direction to cultivate good moral character in all those around me. I was a volunteer camp counselor responsible for youth ages 12-18, teaching, leading for a week at a time for the duration of 9-13 weeks for three summers.

I believe patients is the key to all with learning. Especially to children who have a hard time at school or may come from a family that education is not emphasized. Children no matter what age can feel fustration and anxiety from others remaining calm, positive and assuring is the best way to get a child relaxed enough to be able stopo worrying about all other things going on in the lifes and focus on the subject at hand. Letting them know you 'know' they can do it and will stick it out with them until they do. I believe that having one person who believes in them can change a childs life and how they feel about themselves and there educational future. Every decision we make in life is a result of consequences. I would love to be that postive emforcement and make a difference in a childs life.

I guess teaching is in my blood. I enjoyed substitute teaching the best as i give me a chance to teach a variety of topics and meet different people on a daily basis. I have classroom experience in English, History, general math, and Social Studies. My teaching style is predicated on the belief that children truly want to learn. I like to introduce the goal or goals for today. Ask a few questions regarding ysterdays assignment and see if the class will bridg the two by itself.

I love teaching people of all ages. I believe any person is capable of learning if their education is made specific to their needs. Some people are auditory learners, some are visual learners and some are tactil learners. I believe learning should be entertaining and interesting, as well as informative.I am inventive, patient, enthusiastic and cooperative. I get along well with children, as well as with adults of all ages, races and socio-economic groups. I am an avid reader and would use my reading, writing and verbal skills to help any person overcome an educational obstacle. I graduated from the University of North Fl,Cum Laude. I am certified to teach K-5. I am qualified beyond that level because I supplemented my income in college by researching, outlining and writing papers for other students.

Every instructor brings a variety of personal knowledge and experience to their profession. During my ten years as an instructor of Special Education, I have taught a wide spectrum of subjects and grade levels. (Elementary, middle, high school math, English, reading, science, daily living skills, career preparation and experience). I am currently teaching mainstream math -- FCAT preparatory. In addition to my teaching assignments, I have continued my own educational growth through graduate level courses, training workshops and in-services. All of this upper education and training has proven successful through my ability to teach heterogeneous classes. In previous years, I have tutored students through the home-bound program in areas of math, English, science, and history.
