Florida Certified Educator for Elementary to High School

I have two decades of experience in education. My first 10 years were spent in adult education training adults to work in various organizations in the business world. My last 10 years have been spent in public education classrooms working as a teacher for elementary, middle, and high school students. I have taught core content courses at each level. Therefore, I understand how each grade level builds upon the teaching and learning of the previous grade level.
I have a collaborative style of teaching. My ultimate goal is to get students to think, regardless of their age. With younger students, I tend to be much more directive so that we accomplish intended learning. With middle and high school students, I ask "Why" and "How do you know" quite often so that they learn to provide evidence for their thinking. Getting the RIGHT answer isn't the goal -- understanding and developi ... read more

I have always enjoyed teaching and helping others to learn. I don't believe in "I can't do it" or "I can't learn". I believe that anyone can learn anything as long as they're willing to learn and put an effort to do so. What is different is that some people have more ability than other to learn certain tasks, but eventually, everyone can learn. It is all a matter of adapting oneself to the student's need and ability to learn. My goal is to make the student learn what they set up their mind to learn in the first place, and help them improve their condition. It is very rewarding to see that you have made a difference in their lives.

More About This Tutor...

I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i ... read more

15 years experience in a broad variety of subjects!

I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor which puts students at ease- and it is proven that a tense mind can not learn, only when the student loses their anxiety over the material will they absorb it!
I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanit ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to enhance their study skills. For me, learning any new subject begins with learning its language. For example, in math and science, vocabulary and usage are keys to understanding processes basic to any application. Finally, I welcome the opportunity to explore you or your child's talents, helping to identify and adapt a personal style of learning to ensure educational success. )

I have vast experience teaching many subjects at various levels ranging from preschool to high school. The subjects I have taught include reading, writing, grammar, advanced literature, and history. In addition to graduating with honors with a Bachelor's degree in English Education, I am currently enrolled in Montessori training, which offers me additional teaching strategies to enrich students' learning.
I strive to adapt my teaching strategies to the individual needs of each student. My goal is to plan lessons that will be effective and enjoyable for each student. I believe in encouraging students to use higher-level thinking skills and in providing hands-on opportunities for learning. One of my strengths is determining each student's weaknesses and planning lessons that will lead them on the road to success.

I prefer to know my students as individuals. I can tell when something is bothering them or if they need to talk. We are teaching young people, not just scores that need to be moved. I feel a student needs to feel safe and secure with a teacher so that they will try their best. I respect my students and expect them to respect me, classmates and themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children of all ages. I believe that each child has a different learning ability. I believe it is important to incorporate fun with the learning experience. I believe that there are two types of learners, hands on and learning through example. I believe it is important that a child feels safe and secure to express him/herself. By providing a healthy and safe environment I believe that the child will be able to excel in their learning abilities. I believe if I can make a difference in the life of just one child that I can consider my life's goal a success.

I believe all effective educational experiences begin with an emphatetic, caring instructor. Students need to learn through their own efforts, not through a teacher or tutor "doing the work for them." Therefore, I help the student complete the work themselves. Students are sometimes afraid to try difficult subjects out of fear of failure. A quality instructor will enable a student break through this fear, by demonstrating how each is individually skilled and gifted. Giving a student a taste of accomplishment is one of the strongest motivators toward educational success. All students are valuable as learners. They simply need to be shown this value in their own work.
Besides my knowledge of computer programming, I hold a degree in in English and Secondary Education (grades 6-12), a Master's degree in Library Science, and CELTA certification in ESL (English as a second language) from ... read more
