A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in".
I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing.

I am committed to helping each person reach his or her highest and greatest potential. My goal is to provide each student with an educational environment conducive for a successful learning experience. The tutor must establish the learning setting by creating parameters for the emotional, physical, and mental safety of each student. Specifically, this means the physical location must be without distracters, while the learning content is perceived as helpful, fun, exciting, relevant, and beneficial. The demeanor of the instructor must be serious while being neither stern nor judgmental.
Over the years, I have consistently maintained both high moral values and excellent academic standards. While earning my two BA Degrees, I served both as a tutor and substitute teacher in several elementary schools. My second BA Degree was earned from Warner University in the elementary educatio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of need.
I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of nee ... read more

For the last decade I have been teaching Language Arts and Literature to students from Middle School to Junior College. My students have ranged in ability from at-risk youth, and students with special needs, all the way up to Advanced Placement students. I am well versed in Composition, Literature, Public Speaking, and Research. I possess a bachelor's degree from the University of North Florida, and am currently working on a Master Degree in Reading and Literacy Studies from the University of South Florida.
Teaching is my passion. I am an energetic exciting personality that loves to see others succeed.

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a summa cum laude cultural anthropologist with field work experience in the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. I also worked for BP as geophysicist for the exploration department. I taught middle and high school in the middle east in the areas of Physical Science, Modern languages and Modern History. For three years I taught college students here in Florida Humanities and Anthropology. I have also privately tutored middle/high school and college level students in mathematics.
We educate students into the discipline of their choice in order to facilitate the achievement of their goals. The students in my classroom have a dream and that is the reason they are there, to pursue that dream. As an educator, my mission is to act as the facilitator of that dream. I help my students reach the goals that they have set for themselves, usually by translating textbook knowledge ... read more

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service.
I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students ne ... read more

My teaching style is "one-on-one" for the most part. My first instinct with tutoring is empathetic: if I were struggling in this particular subject, what would be the best way for me to understand it? If this method proves ineffective, I would choose a different technique. I am a visual learner so I often teach visually. I feel it is my job to inspire a student to want to love learning in the most effective manner of doing so.
I graduated with a BS in theology because I felt it was interesting as much as it was challenging! A reason for this is because I've always helped youth in a para-ministry setting (volunteer/paid) and found a knowledge of Theology helped a great deal. I worked for a non-profit organization off and on for a total of close to 4 years. For approx 3 of those 4 years, I worked in a private school setting with Jr. high and Sr. high students. My role was to p ... read more

I have a teaching style which refer to as "narrative." All memorable education takes place in the context of its history and personal usefulness. Therefore, I show the student how a topic has affected people in the past and pull it into personal relevance. Discussion is crucial, not only for allowing the student to ask questions, but for me, the teacher to discover the personal learning style of the student.
Most of my adult life has been spent in the arena of teaching and mentoring. My undergraduate degree, a B.S. in Biology, was largely a platform for the many other courses taken in order to teach mathematics and sciences more effectively. Even after I had moved professionally from teaching to military chaplaincy, much of my focus has been on mentoring others. My range of personal experience is wide, having taught or tutored the range from basic mathematics to differential equati ... read more

I have recently earned my associates degree in psychology with Axia College at University of Phoenix. I have been accepted to the University of Phoenix and will be perusing my bachelors degree in psychology.

I would like to achieve a position as a high school guidance counselor and proceed on with my doctorate in psychology.

I completed my BS degree in electrical engineering in 2007. While pursing that degree, I took coursework in Math (through Calc I-III, Differential Equations, and Linear Systems Analysis) Physics, and Chemistry. Following graduation I worked as a project engineer constructing and commissioning an oil refinery in southwest Asia. Among with my technical responsibilities, I participated in training future local operators via translator.
To begin, I have always loved science and working with numbers. I'm very patient when trying to explain a topic to someone. I believe the majority of problems with comprehension people have, especially in math/science, are due to an incomplete background or an unclear explanation. With time and effort, most anyone can learn just about anything, and participating in that is very satisfying.
