A Little Bit About Me...

I learn how the student needs to be educated and teach to the style that they need.
I believe that all children can learn and learn well. I enjoy working with students and teaching has always been a passion of mine. Before moving to Florida, I tutored at a community college in CT. I worked with students in the areas of French, Spanish and English. In Florida, I worked for six years as a paraprofessional at a school for children with learning disabilities. I have worked with many students in various areas for home school and public school. I taught grades 2 to 12 in math, reading and history. I am certified in Structure of the Intellect, that focuses on how a child learns based on 27 different intelligences in order to make proper gains in education. I am currently working for a private school in the Baldwin Oaks area as a math teacher for grades 3-9. Many of our children have lea ... read more

If it can be fun, make it fun. If not, make it short.

Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent through her citizenship exam practice. Another was when I prepped a friend for a lifeguard exam that she had failed twice. Seeing my students of all ages succeed is a joy.
My motto is if at all possible, I want ... read more

My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : I have over 15 years of tutoring experience, over 5 years of Academic Teaching Experience, which includes being a Student Advocate and Para-Educator. I have a degree in Psychology, and one of my focus is Learning Disabilities, ADD/ADHD, and Behavioral Modification. While working as a Student Advocate I had to: Work with at-risk elementary children Motivate children to learn and improve their conditions Meet with students one-on-one-, in groups settings, and do classroom presentations on character building lessons. Behavioral management and discipline plans Keep track on truancy problems Conduct Suicide Prevention Groups. As a Para-Educator my tasks included: Help elementary students from 2nd grade to 6th grade in their writing and reading skills. Work with students who have moderate to severe disabilities (learning, physical, and mental disabilities). Teaching functional and academic skills. Work with students in small groups. Use appropriate techniques for student and classroom management. Direct small groups of students in various areas of academics.

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.
Having parents that place a great emphasis in achieving higher education, I graduated from high school with the age of 15 years old and was accepted in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, for the degree in Life Science Biology. While studying in T ... read more

I worked as a pre-school teacher for 5 1/2 years. During my last year I trained with Dr. Donald Lyman and developed a program for PK through 1st grade,and ran an after school tutoring program. I was so impressed with the results that I went to work for Dr. Lyman for the next nine years. For the first 5 years I worked with students 1-12 grade teaching all core subjects, at Alliance Academy. His wife then purchased Baldwin Oaks Academy, I worked in a multi-age classroom for students 4-8th grade from 2005-07. My last year there I taught a 1-3rd grade class. I left BOA because I felt that a Montessori environment, where you have the same students for three years, was not enough of a challenge for me.
I like to assess my students and then come up with a plan that uses their strengths and interests to help them achieve their academic and social goals. Before you can teach a child y ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have spent most of my life working with children. I began in child care, working with both school age and preschool children. After receiving my Bachelor's degree, I began teaching middle school Language Arts and tutoring at local centers part time. It was as a tutor that I gained experience teaching many different subjects to students of all ages. I tutored students in English, reading, math, study skills, and speed reading. I then went back to school to earn my Master's degree in English Literature. Since then, I have worked at local colleges and universities teaching English, reading and composition.
I believe successful teaching depends heavily upon the following: the creation of a learning atmosphere that stimulates active individualized learning, the clear communication of performance expectations, and the implementing of assessments that are both varied and intriguin ... read more

I was a music specialist for one semester. It was a great experience that I truly enjoyed. I taught grades K-5. I was responsible for creating my own lesson plans and activities for the 40 minutes of music class. I introduced recorders to the 5th grade. Then I put together a booklet for them to teach themselves how to play more songs. They looked forward to working on this summer project independently. I tutored 5th and a 3rd graders this last year. A fifth grade student of mine was falling behind in her work load and brought home a below average report card during the first quarter of school. After my help her grades climbed to almost the A/B honor roll. Her parents were pleased with her improved grades, attitude, and self concept.

As a special education teacher I strive to help all children learn in any way possible. I have my BS from the University of Alabama in Education of Young Children with Diverse Abilities. I have learned different ways to present information to children so that they are able to learn the information any way possible. I have also been a Training and Programming Specalist for the US Army's Child and Youth Services program where I trained staff in all of their program areas on how to work with the children in the program no matter what their abilities.
I believe that all children can learn no matter what their ability level and love to find new ways of presenting information to children. I became a teacher to help children learn because of the help that was given to my youngest brother. He is many years younger than me and has Cerebal Palsy. I helped my mom homeschool him and woul ... read more
