I gear my teaching style to the individual I am working with. In 14 years I have learned that even though a method may work for one student, it does not necessarily mean it will work for another. In the first few session I test a small variety of applicable teaching methods and adapt them as time goes on. I have been working with students in both one-on-one and group settings for going on 14 years. I began tutoring groups of children at an inner city after school program in Language Arts and Reading Comprehension. I went into further training at my high school and became a designated math tutor for those in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry. After high school I revisted my loved for tutoring at Jefferson County Community College where I tutored Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Study Skills.

I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the student becomes engaged in the learning process. I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Voluntee

When I teach children I first look to see where they have the most need. I use a variety of assessments and tools to identify their areas of weakness and then plan activities for their learning to strengthen those areas. I believe that finding and filling the gaps that may hinder their learning will help them gain academic success in the future. I believe that children learn in different ways and I aim to provide a variety of approaches. For example, they can learn through games, graphic organizers, hands on examples, or other means. I try to find the best approach to help children succeed. I have twelve years experience teaching students from 2nd to 5th grade. My first six years were spent teaching 2nd grade at Caroline Brevard and Florida State University Schools. Then, I taught Math to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade for one year at FSU Schools using the Project CHILD method which involved ma

Learning needs to have importance to a student. They need to understand why they need to learn the things they are being taught. Then it makes more sense to them. If possible, teach to their strengths. If they like computers, find a website that gives them practice. If they are better writers than listeners, have them dictate and read it back to you. Flashcards work well for some while others have difficulty remembering things. It all depends on the strengths of that child as to what is the best way to teach. I have taught kindergarten through eighth grade special education for the last twenty years. I have had experience working with students who were struggling learners including my own child. Sometimes teaching means showing a different way to do it. I have learned the skills needed for students to learn and remember what they have learned. I have tutored many students and a

As a special needs teacher, I have worked with many students who simply needed someone to show them a different way to learn the material. Learning can be made so much easier when taught in a format that is fun. This makes it enjoyable and more likely to be remembered. In a tutoring one-on-one kind of setting, times tables could be taught with a deck of cards and using the two numbers thrown out as the problem. Reading and writing can be done by taking pictures and creating a story from the pictures you have taken. It costs the price of a throw away camera and the students love it. I bleieve learning must be fun. I am a very patient, soft spoken person who understands what it is like to struggle. I also had difficulty learning in school and wish someone would have taken the time to notice I wasn't being 'lazy' but really had a hard time comprehending and remembering what I read.

My personal philosophy is to let children make their own discoveries. I am essentially a person that will guide a student to that discovery and ask questions all along the way to activate their brain in terms of problem solving. In my experience, a child will have a stronger retention of subject matter if they are allowed to discover it and understand it on their own terms. I am also a believer in bringing a child's confidence level up, as many children give up before they even start a project because of low self confidence. Simply by encouraging the child to believe in his/ her capabilities, I will increase the productivity of the session and build a relationship on trust and mutual respect. I moved to NYC in 2001 to become a Broadway actor; however, I did not want to live the actor "lifestyle" and in essence become a professional waiter. I signed up for an alternative teaching pro

I believe that learning is a great pleasure, not only for the student, but also for the teacher. In order for a student to truly learn and retain information, it is important to have a teacher who is patient, respectful of different learning styles, and able to convey information clearly. I have been told by many people that I am a very good teacher because I convey information clearly and simply. In addition, I am very detail-oriented, thorough, and patient. I believe that I can help your child succeed and help him/her truly understand the subject matter that he/she is struggling with. I am a young professional with a full-time job and I love to teach on the side. At the University of Maryland, College Park, I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Environmental Science and Policy with a high A average. I also earned a minor in Spanish in 2001.

Understanding is a priceless gift. It is my ultimate goal to ensure that every student I help gets an understanding of what they are learning. I believe that my patience coupled with my desire to see a student succeed is what drives me to teach and mentor. I am confident that the best way to teach is to be interactive and hands on to ensure understanding while having a little fun. As a college graduate I understand the importance of education. During my college career I was given the opportunity to travel to Darmstadt, Germany where I was a camp counselor to children's whose parents are in the military. During this time I was given the opportunity to tutor and mentor young military children. It was my goal to help each student understand the fundamentals of reading and writing. As a pre law student, I was able to strengthen my research and writing skills. I interned at the Florida Legisl
