To finance my education I have worked at a recreation center, supervising and mentoring children for 5 years. This enabled me to work with a variety of children and their personalities. I have earned a Bachelor degree in Business Administration with a major in International Business and a minor in Economics. Through writing several essays, research reports and preparing presentations which included critical thinking and problem solving, I've gained knowledge in math and writing skills. Along the way, I helped my colleagues by tutoring them in areas of difficulty. The summer after I graduated I also tutored students in economics. Additionally, over the past 5 years I have helped children with their homework ages 5-12. I am a firm believer in teaching through organization. I've realized that with any age I tutor, organization is a key skill to managing and focusing on areas of difficulty.

I do my best to incorporate/accomodate all learning styles of the various students I will encounter. I model what I would like my students to do and then I give them similar problems so they can follow what I showed them whether it is in critical thinking, math skill sets, and answering chemistry questions. Attended one of the sister colleges to the Ivy Leagues, I value a quality education and I believe in delivering that to my students. I have tutored college algebra, calculus, chemistry and taught all elementary subjects for 4 consecutive years from 3rd to 5th grade and left teaching to further my studies. ? Demonstrated commitment to quality evident in students’ performance, FCAT achievement, and learning gains

I have a laid back, yet no nonsense style of teaching that I believe works with most students. I am a friendly and supportive figure, but there is no doubt that I am the one in charge in the classroom or in a tutoring situation. I like for students to learn to think inside, outside, above, and beyond the box when they are trying to learn a subject. No one way is 100% correct, and if a child cannot learn one way, then there is always another way to process the information. Not all children will love to learn, but I do try to show them that they can respect the process, and use it to their advantage. I have a degree in Middle School Education that allows me to teach Language Arts and Social Studies, and have a Master's degree in English which allows me to teach at the high school and community college level. I have taught middle school in the public and private arena ( I wrote the curricul

I enjoy teaching and working with children. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing more important than a good education. Because my expectations are high, many of my students strive to meet these expectations and realize they are capable of doing more than they thought they could. I realize not all children learn at the same pace, and am therefore patient and relaxed in my teaching style. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the light bulb go off in a child's head once a concept is understood. I was a teacher in New York from 1971 to 1979 at the Junior High School level. I taught typewriting as well as Social Studies and English. In the evenings I taught business subjects to adults. I am proficient in music and am able to teach elementary music as well as elementary math, social studies, keyboarding and English. I have had many years of experience as a teacher and feel

I used several strategies including differentiated instructional methods. This year I will incorporate problem based learning as well as contructivist approach to my learners. I believe that all students are capable of learning and as a teacher we have to authenticate the instruction to make it more meaningful to high tech students. In addition, I believe in choice of products to progress whereby students are able to choose different products that are available to them. They may create, write, present or discuss their findings as long as everyone is comfortable and must show they means to take ownership of their learning. I worked in the Broward School system for the past eight years as an Interim Sub and Math Teacher. The last job I held was teaching mathematics which includes, Algebra, Geometry at HD Perry Middle School in Miramar Fl. I also secured a bachelors degree from Florida

I like to show students hands-on methods of solving problems. I believe this helps to make the information concrete and not easily forgotten. I feel each child learns differently and if one method does not succeed there is always another to try until we reach one that works for that child. I have also witnessed the effects of positive praise and reinforcement to help children build confidence in themselves. I have been working with children for 15 years through various organizations and activities. I have been a fulltime teacher for 2 years and currently teach Kindergarten. I enjoy helping children reach their full potential and seeing their excitement when they master a challenging topic.

I love teaching! I am so glad that I get to do what I love. While teaching, I have found a real love of tutoring. I feel it is a better way to meet the needs of my students. I believe many students learn at different rates and some students just need more time. Tutoring allows time for one on one interaction, where I as the tutor can find where the student has deficiencies. This tells me where I need to start and what we need to work on, to get the student where they need to be. This is our goal, to get the students to be successful in the classroom and in life. I have always known I wanted to be a teacher. I fulfilled my dream by getting my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education. Before graduating college I took and passed my Professional Teacher Certification and Elementary Education Certification 1-6. While teaching at the Elementary level, I started tutoring prior studen

I believe that all children have different styles or method of learning. I will often give students a choice designing and implementing their own complex learning projects and will act in a consultative role. In many cases, I will also teach a the students with diagrams or other images associated to the particular lecture. I enjoy young students company and I do not get frustrated or irate easily. I am a very optimistic individual who can bring the best in people, whether its through education or personal. I have had some great tutors and teachers in the past and would like to thank them by helping others accomplish their educational dreams. Higher Education has always been my passion. I recently graduated college, in May 2009, with a Bachelor degree in Business Marketing. Although my degree focuses more on different aspects of business financial growth, my dedication to assist others th
