I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile. I have taught kindergarten for several years. I have taught beginning readers in kindergarten, as well as reading comprehension to older students.I have homeschooled chil

I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests. I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparin

For the past 5 years I have worked with 4th grade students in school classrooms as well as tutored for FCAT Writes test. I have many tips and techniques to use when tutoring a student in writing. As an English major in Education at the University of Alabama, I took many specialized courses in writing and reading. I learned many techniques for teaching creative writing and reading comprehension skills. For the past five years I have tutored students in FCAT writes techniques, reading skills and comprehension, and basic mathematics. In my position of Title I teaching assistant I taught small groups (6 or less students) and one-on-one reading, phonics, and comprehension as well as creative writing. I absolutely love teaching and working with children. Children learn in unique and individual ways and sometimes struggle in school work because they learn at a different pace than the clas

As a contented student at Full Sail University, I am pursuing a Master's in Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I volunteer for Graduate Honors research in Latino/a Caribbean Studies at the University of South Florida, and serve as a freelance consultant for an aspiring media entertainment company. In addition, my Bachelor’s Degree in Literary Studies, Associates Degree in Education, and professionally polished communication skills are invaluable as a tutor. I have learned to be disciplined and skilled in the acquisition of critical thinking, written communication, analysis, logic and reasoning. To be literate and articulate in various languages is not only handy, but eases the transition of language barriers which allows me to continually acquire polished skills in all forms of expression. Possessing strong academic qualifications and leadership give me the advantage in helping others. I off

I enjoy working with children. I believe that all children have their own hidden potential and need the right kind of motivation to inspire them to be the best they can be. Educators are given the opportunity to motivate, inspire, and change the lives of young people. This opportunity should be taken seriously because the greatest legacy we can leave is the impartation of knowledge that motivate others to change their lives positively. I have been teaching since I was seventeen years old. When I was a teenager in the island of Jamaica, I had very few available opportunities, so after a one year youth service volunteer pogram in a pre-school and kindergarten, I opened my own pre-school to service the children in my community. After migrating to the United States, I taught at a number of pre-schools. I later began working in the mental health field, and for the past 12 years, I have been c

My teaching philosophy revolves around my belief that every child can succeed if given the tools and opportunities. I am a very encouraging person, and I am able to help students to realize that they matter and that they have potential in academic studies and beyond. Patience is an integral part of my teaching, but no more so than setting high standards for students. Often, students do not know what they are capable of accomplishing until someone encourages them and provides tools and guidance. My goal as a teacher is to find a way to connect to each individual child in order to help him/her succeed; and, because each student learns differently, this demands constant adaptation and creativity on my part as a teacher. I am dedicated to the students I serve. The bulk of my experience is in recreation and entertainment programs for children, although my bachelor's degree is in Music Ed

My teaching philosophy is to be kind, considerate, and respectful to each student and caregiver I encounter. I aim to teach students with respect by listening to their needs, giving them time to express their feelings, and allowing positive and creative time to practice what they are learning. I believe my role is to help them develop skills to not only master the subject which I am teaching (tutoring) but to develop tools they can utilize throughout their education. I encourage my students with positive reinforcement, and believe that students respond better to teachers and tutors whom they respect and have developed a relationship with. My goal is to make their education appropriate, exciting, and empowering. I also believe that learning is a “team” effort which requires work from the student, teacher, and supportive family. If applicable, I aim to show respect to caregivers by a

Through attention to the basics while keeping the atmosphere light, I am able to help children find their way to academic success. By encouraging the children to talk about their favorite subjects, I am able to tailor each session to their individual tastes. This has allowed my students to attain a high level of productivity in the time allotted to our tutoring sessions. As a skilled writer, I find that even the least willing reader finds it fun to read the stories that I place them into as leading characters. When caught early, every child's reading difficulties can become successes. During the last fourteen years, I have made it my goal to read about two books per week. During this period, I have taught myself the computer, trained students in a variety of subjects, and home educated three children. It has been my privilege to work with a number of students, encouraging them in their l

My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom. As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT.
