Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waldo, FL

I have always been an avid reader and writer, as well as a natural teacher. As early as middle school, I was tutoring my fellow classmates at the request of their parents. I studied Latin for five years, which provided an exceptional foundation for the study of English, which I pursued as my major at Loyola University. I concentrated in Creative Writing, so the bulk of my college work consisted of reading and writing to very exacting standards. I graduated Summa Cum Laude, maintaining a 4.0 major GPA for my entire four years. I have since worked as an SAT Instructor for the Princeton Review and have also tutored privately and given music lessons for supplementary income. I have always had an inclination to teach. To me, there is something very exciting about conveying understanding of a concept to another person. I think I have a particular ability for identifying precisely what aspect o

I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of civil engineering. I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the

For me, meaning is at the heart of what it means to be a teacher. If what I am teaching means nothing to my students, then I can expect them to retain very little. Yet, if I can make learning dynamic, interesting, engaging, interactive, and fun, then learning—powerful learning--can happen. In addition, I believe students must create their own knowledge of a subject, learn through discovery, and question until they find answers on their own. I am ever the optimistic and idealist, seeking the best in all my students and believing in them no matter what their limitations are. Throughout the learning process, I believe expectations should remain high, laughs should be shared, and connections should be made. I am confident that I can touch the lives of my students by uniting meaningful teaching, a constructivist approach to learning, an unwavering positive attitude, and a comfortable wo

My education has enabled me to gain a good understanding of math and statistics. I have tutored students in English and mathematics.

I am the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally education. Near the end of this time, I felt that the best use of my talents and experience would be in the classroom helping to build a better society through the young people who cross that threshold. I spent three years in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area teaching 7th and 8th grade learning handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and autistic students. through all of these years I have also tutored students ranging from inner city broken homes to Ivy League geared people. I have found that the best way to teach is to be flexibl

Freud has influenced my teaching style: allow the student to learn from experience. I design the activity. I believe that kids should go beyond their potential.

I try to build a relationship with my students from day one, and I like that they build also a relationship with me. I encourage full participation of the student, while adapting my presentation to different learning styles. Students are expected to take full responsibility for learning what they need to know, and for asking for help when they don't understand something. I try to find activities adapted to the specific problems and learning styles. I have been teaching Foreign Languages (Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, German) for over 20 years, and have an extensive experience in all types of schools (private, charter, public), and in tutoring on a one-to-one basis. I have followed a lot of workshops in different countries in order to keep abreast of the latest development in teaching Foreign Languages.

My past experience thought me to be very patience and to bring out the best from each student, finding a different approach of teaching for each of them. Even with difficult students, I don't give up until I have reached a complete success, I want to teach my students love for learning, not only from books but also from every day life. I am a qualified educator and while still in College I started working in a private school, tutoring children with learning problem. Also I have always been eager to learn new languages and cultures. I spent few months in Greece after having achieved a scholarship and there I obtained a contract as translator by a private institute. It allowed me to share my love for literature making authors known in other languages. After graduation I kept working as a Latin and Italian tutor. In the States, I had the great opportunity to teach Italian, Latin and Mo
