Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I have been signing since 1994. Enrolled in college to receive an AA in American Sign Language, and will be continuing my education towards a Sign Language Interpreter Certification.

I started signing in 1994 when I met a deaf woman and her friend at my job. A few days later she came back and handed me a "Sign Language for Beginners" book. After many years of Deaf Clubs, Deaf Functions, and friends. Since 2003 I have been helping any deaf/hearing impaired people when they need help with communicating with what they call "Hearing" people. The deaf culture is very different and very interesting. I am now enrolled in college to get my degree in American Sign Language, then to get certified as a Sign Language Interpreter.
I try to keep away from the Sign Language books, It's hard to learn from a cartoon drawing or a picture with arrows showing the direction to move your hands. Sign Language can be a fun language to learn, you never know, the next person you bump into may be deaf. And wouldn't it be nice to be able to communicate with them?

Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I have been learning American Sign Language for five years. I am currently a senior American Sign Language/ English Interpreting major with a Deaf Studies minor at Valdosta State University.

Since sign language is a visual language it is important that students learn by doing and not just watching.
Hello, My name is Frankie and I am a sign language tutor/ interpreting student. I started learning sign language five years ago and fell completely in love with the language and the deaf community. My passion is interpreting but I really enjoy teaching American Sign Language as well. My long-term goal is to be an interpreter on Broadway so I can share my love of music and theater with the deaf community. Right now I live in Georgia and attend Valdosta State University. I am a senior American Sign Language/ English interpreting major with a Deaf Studies minor. I will graduate in May 2015 with my BSED. My family lives in Palm Coast Florida and I stay with them during winter break. I would love to tutor anyone in American Sign Language while I am in town. I am willin ... read more

Sign Language is one of my top subjects!

I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, with experience tutoring at Tennessee Temple University, as well as University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in various topics, including biodiversity, mathematics (up to pre-calculus), history, and American Sign Language. I continue to study in my personal time as many topics as possible, with the belief that a good tutor is firstly a good student.
I allow my teaching style to mold itself to each individual student, finding methods of communicating the information that best suit the learning style of my student. I favor a holistic approach to learning, believing that education should be of the whole person. If a student learns how a skill in his tutoring session can be applied in real life, then his or her perception of the subject may fundamentally improve.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned both a MA and a BS in Urban and Regional Studies from Minnesota State University. I spent 15 years working in local government management. Throughout my career, I have taken opportunities to hire and mentor graduate student interns. Several of these interns have gone on to successful careers in local government management and planning. Recently, I was accepted into the Educator Preparation Institute at St Johns River Community College. This semester, I am taking four classes, including Classroom Management, Instructional Strategies, Teaching and Learning Process, and Technology. I have received a passing score on the 6-12 Social Studies exam. Upon completion of the EPI program, I plan to teach high school social studies.
I believe that an instructor’s primary role is to create an environment that encourages a real desire to learn by presenting the subject matter in ... read more

I enjoy empowering people to achieve their goals. It is my thought that if a person is equipped with the proper tools, they can become successful. I am a very positive person who believes that learning should be fun and administered based on the learning style of the individual. My creative approach to teaching will inspire a person to believe that anything can be accomplished if you try.
As a social entrepreneur, I am very concerned with the graduation rates throughout the nation.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching degree is in Special Education with certification to teach Elementary School and children with Learning Disabilities. I’ve worked with children and teens in schools, teaching reading to adults, and art education to both children and adults. My business experience has allowed me to train personnel in a business setting. My grant writing experience has allowed me to further my creative writing talent, working with children in an Art Museum to pursue funding for educational programs.
I truly enjoy working with children and realize each child has a unique way of learning. Tutoring allows this one-on-one contact to discover how each child learns best. My teaching style focuses on improving a child’s memory and understanding of subjects. I like to alternate subject examples with practice to develop the student’s problem-solving strategies. I also help the student conne ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process.
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 obs ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel very strongly about a differential approach to my teaching methods. I believe every child is different and learns differently then the next child. I feel confident in developing a lesson plan that can be diverse enough to meet each and every child’s gifts and disadvantages. My life is dedicated to teaching and I hope that I will be able to teach for a very long time. My hopes are to eventually acquire a PhD in Education.
I have attended CFCC and FCCJ. I am currently attending Liberty University for my Bachelor in Education. I have been teaching for about 7 years and through that time I have learned an extensive amount not only through in-services and training classes, but through my colleagues. I feel very confident in my ability to reach children that feel that they just can't get it. I have two children of my own, which I homeschooled for a year. My daughter, who is 13 yea ... read more

Enriching the lives of today’s youth is something very dear to my heart. With the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced world, it gets hard for them to find out who they are, and focus on what they need to be doing. I feel they push their education to the side, because they are forced to become adults too soon. I also feel that focus will not be regained until they find an instructor or tutor who they feel cares about THEM. I don’t judge any student for any reason. I believe all children learn differently, and some need a more unconventional approach to understand what they are studying. My biggest goal is helping these kids and making an impact on their life. I want them to remember me as the “tutor who cares”.
As a teenager, I learned the importance of having role models, both in and out of the classroom. Some of my biggest influences are old teachers and coaches. After I grad ... read more

I began teaching in 1998. My previous job was taken away by forces of nature. I had taken advantage of the Military Troops to Teachers Program with no clear pathway to practice. Until I found myself with a possibility of unemployment. I I applied at a correctional facility and I was hired over the next week. Hence my introduction to the classroom and the world of academia. Over the next five years I was fortunate enough to teach both classroom and computer lab, loving the challenges and accomplishments more and more everyday. My students were adult learners whom appreciated accomplishing life goals. I continued educating over the next seven years with results that were uplifting and inspirational. Teaching requires a heart.
My teaching style is a type of facilitator approach. I realize the with every classroom there is middle level of learners the same as lower and higher ac ... read more

I have a Bachelor's degree in Speech Language Pathology field as an Assistant. I graduated 11 years ago from University of Puerto Rico Medical Science Campus. During my bachelor's degree I took some curses of American Sign Language. From 8/1998 to 2/2002 I worked in Clinica de Terapias Pediatricas working in one on one basis with students to get them improve in the areas of speech, language and comprehension. While I was working with them I used to help the students in all school matters like math, language arts and sciences. After that time I took some time and started giving tutorials at home to students of elementary school having them improving every single area seeing results from D to B.
I love teaching and working with children. I believe for my experience that all kids can learn but in their own ways and time. This means that there are approximately three kinds of lear ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I procured my Bachelor's of Science degree in Early Childhood Education with a double major in English in 2005 from one of the best teaching schools in the country. I am certified to teach Birth-third grade in the state of Florida and Birth-second grade in NY. I have been tutoring for No Child Left Behind for 2 years now in addition to private tutoring in English.
Working with children is truly my passion in life. My teaching style shows that I will have unlimited patience with a student that wants to learn, and shows that by giving it all they can. I notice that most students are this way, and they reap the benefits of their knowledge acquisition.

Since graduating, I have taught at the Katzenbach School for the Deaf as well as the Florida School for the Deaf. I am currently teaching Physical Science and Language Arts to 8th graders at FSDB. In addition, I work after school in the recreation department where I facilitate activities for students of all age levels. I have tutored students in Math, Reading, Language Arts, and Science.
While working with diverse deaf/hh and hearing students I have come to realize that every student is different. In realizing that, I know that no two students can be taught the same way. Two skills that I have developed and feel are crucial when working with students are patience and creativity.
