My comments on tutoring Musical : I was in many musical theater productions

I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are important in a student’s success.
I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching a ... read more

Everyone is special and unique in how they learn and incorporate new information. I like to get to know people to understand how they can learn on their skill level. Patience and understanding is key when working with students and young people because everyone is different and special.
I have experience in working with children and young people in my missions and humanitarian work. I have lead teams of teenagers and worked with children in local schools, orphanages, and community organizations. I also worked at a daycare during my internship in 2004.

Throughout my teaching, I have adapted the classroom to complement and enrich each student’s learning style, a challenge I thoroughly enjoy. I believe in considering the needs of the whole child, so life lessons can become tools and participation in the journey of learning becomes key towards a measureable outcome of success. I have always attempted to connect with students in a unique and significant way, challenging them to them to expand and believe in their capabilities. With nurturing support children will strive for their potential, and if I can make it fun along the way, then everyone enjoys themselves, all the while important learning and growth has taken place.

I achieved an A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies and a BA in Pre Law. It was due to my most excellent parochial elementary and secondary education, that I was able to achieve the academic success I experienced returning to college as an adult student. I appreciate being able to help individuals understand why they need to know things and the impact that knowledge has upon our lives. As a P.T.A. president my motto was “ The more you know the more you grow and the more you learn the more you can earn!”
I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. As a Literacy Volunteer and Substitute Teacher I was able to do that. I have a need to know approach learning. I’m rather no nonsense, but kind and patient.

My style is base on finding the indiviual need of the child and helping the child reach their potential. I would do this through counsultation with parents and teachers if it is possible.Through this hopefully the student will gain confidence in whatever problem areas he/she has.The tutoring session would be different than classroom setting. Not as formal but there would be expectations and priorities so that the sessions would be productive.
After graduating from College, I entered the the field of social services as case manager. I employed for (12) twelfe years with serveral different companies working with cronically mentally ill adults. As a case manager my duties included, linking indiviuals to social and community services and monitoring their progress according indiviually designed service plans.I also worked as a mid manager supervising case managers.

I tailor my teaching style to the student. I believe that the lesson should be based on the learner and not the preference of the teacher. Repetition is good for learning; therefore, the use of various teaching methods are employed in order to maximize the information retained and learned by the individual student. I may use music, writing, reading (various types of writing materials),arts & crafts, and real life relations to engage the student in retaining and comprehending information; not just for the class, but for a solid foundation in the subject area. I desire for the student to retain the information beyond the test.

A Little Bit About Me...

Since high school, my passion for telling stories led me to my degree in Journalism. I worked as a professional news reporter for two medium market stations and was on my way to work for a larger market. My career took a turn for the better and I found my calling was education. I have always coached and been a choreographer, so working with children and helping them succeed was also a passion. I hope to utilize my skills in writing and communications, as well as my discipline and focus skills I acquired in band, cheer and dance, to help students succeed.
My teaching style is very hands-on. I believe in practical knowledge and showing students several different ways to understand something. I also believe in providing students the opportunity to figure out solutions to problems on their own with encouragement, instead of just having them copy what I say. I also believe that a ... read more

I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves.
Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training.

I have always enjoyed working and playing with children. I am a positive person, “The glass is always half full.” Through positive response and encouragement, I feel that students become more self assured. Every child has potential, and we as educators and parents, must tap into that potential. Not every child learns the same way. It is important to find how and what makes a student want to learn. Positive reinforcement, constructive criticism, consideration and respect for each other and patience are all a part of my teaching style. I strive to make a difference in each student I tutor.
After graduating with High Honors from the University of Florida, I started my career in the field of Special Education. I taught both mentally and physically handicapped children/adults. I taught both in a school setting and home setting for students unable to physically attend school. Af ... read more

As a graduate of a prestigious college, I was inspired to change my major from music education to elementary education. This choice was made due to the growing decline in students level of achievement in reading. I have my degree in elementary education and also a special certification from NASA with an emphasis in mathematics and reading. During the last eight years I have tutored students through after school programs,Sylvan Learning, and also through individual tutoring through my home.
I enjoy teaching to the utmost level. I know my strengths lie primarily in students who are of the kindergarten through fourth grade levels. I feel students should have the opportunity to be themselves and is why I enforce a learning enviornment that is condusive to being independent learners.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of East Carolina University, I have continued to be persistent in every aspect of my teaching career. I have earned only a bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in child studies, which have helped me to develop and become the teacher that I am now. During the last four years of my college career, I have taught in a public school and have tutored children to help them succeed in their academics.
My teaching style is very different, but I love being able to differentiate my lessons to best suit my students. I do believe that all children have different learning styles, so when I deliver instruction, I try to combine the types of styles and incorporate kinesthetic activities for the students to visually see and have that hands on experience. I believe repetition helps children to learn and grasp instruction as well. Through repetition and correct delivery, ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children are smart and can learn they just need someone who has the patience and ability to teach them as I do. I like it when children discover knowledge on their own so I like giving them feedback to help them realize the answers on their own and feel like they really have accomplished something. The look on the face of a child when he or she finally understands is priceless!
