TOEFL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Atlantic Beach, FL

I consider it my duty to do what it takes to make the tutoring FUN for the person being tutored. I have helped friends (and their children) to prepare for exams since when in high school I won various awards for my performance on exams. I won the top score for the Regents exam for Duval County in 1971 and for this I was recognized by the downtown Rotary Club. Also I won the top statewide scholarship award for the Chamber of Commerce and for the N.H.S. due to performance on exams. Also I won the Merit Scholarship award. I have only recently started to do tutoring for pay. Over the years I have helped my children, my grandchildren, and friends and others to prepare for exams ranging from kindergarten phonics up to and beyond SAT exams.

As an engineer and I have taught planners and engineers how to use software to do calculations.

In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills through writing articles for publication and many professional reports. I enjoy teaching and working with children. While I believe that all children can learn, they do so in their own ways and at their own pace. It is the tutor’s responsibility to ensure that the student(s) understand the material. It is important to show students how one idea bui

Professional experience started with enlistment in the U.S navy in the year 2000, as a helicopter mechanic for 5 years. After an honorable discharge I've been an employee of Florida State College at Jacksonville as an instructional assistant in math and computers. Following this experience I was hired as an Arabic all call interpreter with language line in Monterey California. This job had to be terminated for the required student teaching experience that only ended in may 2010. Good teaching stems from the belief that each student is a unique individual. To help this unique individual reach his or her maximum potential, the teacher needs to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment in which students can prosper emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially. This does not mean providing students with necessary information only, but also equipping them with tools that wil

I strive to help students learn for themselves. As a tutor at the University of North Florida, I stressed critical thinking skills. I believe that critical thinking skills help a student improve all around. Through critical thinking students can pursue independent learning and feel more confident in themselves. Also, my approach to tutoring involves letting students release the concepts and answers for themselves. Though I help to reinforce key concepts and principles, a student should be able to come to conclusions by themselves this way, when confronted with real life situations or in class room situations, the student does not panic and can handle the problem. Formerly, I was employed as an ESL and Writing Tutor at the Academic Center for Excellence at the University of North Florida. My duties as ESL and writing tutor have put me in close contact with students who sought to bet

While working towards my bachelors degree in English (with a minor in Political Science), I worked as a substitute teacher in the public school system for a year and a half, in order to ascertain my affinity for many different levels and subjects. My writing and grammatical skills are excellent; in 2004 I was awarded First Place in Undergraduate Writing at the University of North Florida. My first professional teaching experience complemented my areas of expertise perfectly: I taught English as a Foreign Language to business professionals in Argentina for six months, using the communicative approach. During this time I learned much about South American politics and culture, as well as the Spanish language. Upon return I taught English to high school students for one year at a private school for students with learning disabilities and emotional/ behavioral problems. This summer, I ha

As an English teacher with an advanced degree in teaching from Emory University, I have taught students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. In addition to my BA in English, I also have a concentration in creative writing from the University Connecticut. My skills in teaching writing and grammar and analyzing literature have been honed over the years. I also have taken seven years of French and feel confident tutoring students through their third or fourth year. Having taught a variety of children, those with IEPs and learning disabilities to honors students, I have developed a variety of strategies to accelerate the learning process, mostly through differentiated instruction. Trying a variety of methods to access a child's learning style is key. Tutoring one on one or in a small group allows me to discover this and capitalize on it even more quickly than in a larger classroom.

I truly enjoy teaching and working with young people. I am a public school teacher (high school Spanish and ESOL). I am kind and patient, and provide an environment where your student can learn. I am well-experienced with coming up with creative ways to teach and engage students in the learning process. I believe that learning should be experience-based; we learn what we do. In my language classroom, little emphasis is placed on completing worksheets as most emphasis is on using the language and expression. As a teacher, I find myself addicted to what I call “light bulb moments.” There’s not anything like watching a young person’s face change when they finally understand. I have been a tutor for about six years. I began tutoring in college, helping classmates understand material from various courses. During my teacher preparation coursework, I began working in the public school system wi

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! I hold dual Masters degrees in Architecture and Construction and I have a passion for teaching. While earning my masters degree in construction I was a teachers assistant for construction courses and enjoyed teaching and helping over sixty students learn the material. While I was getting my first degree, which was in architecture, I worked at a music school and taught classes to children ages 4 and up. Currently I have been mentoring a middle school ch
