"Half of knowledge is knowing where to find it."

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.
Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

My comments on tutoring Chess : I know the basic moves and strategies.

I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, reading, and math.
My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment.

A Little Bit About Me...

I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles. Every student has a different strength in which they are able to learn, and I believe as a teacher, it is important to recognizes these differences and be able to adjust or adapt to change in a short notice. The end result of an effective lesson plan can bring great reward in terms of a student’s success. As a teacher, I believe that the success of the student should always be the primary focus in the work of an educator, no matter what learning level or background the student has.

For the past two years I have been running and organizing events for adolescents between the ages of ten and twenty-four. Being able to do so has given me a great opportunity to direct and organize young people, as well as to observe how the growing mind operates, all within the confines of a creative environment. One of the things I have learned is that students tend to learn better when they are guided to the answer rather than simply told them. For example, I’ve found when asking a series of questions that lead the student to deduce the answer on their own they tend to retain the information more readily. In this way it comes across as a puzzle that they’ve solved, making it an accomplishment for them.
As a graduate of the University of South Florida, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing and write a weekly column on the internet. My desire to be a teacher stems ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a kid I was very sickly and had back problems. This forced me to become patient with school. I have developed my own learning style in a way that relates to things that I find relevant. I use this strategy to help others better process information that may at first seem difficult to them. I have tutored elementary school children in basic science as well as college students in organic chemistry.
I graduated college with a degree in Psychology but have much experience in biology and chemistry. I have taken many science classes as I am now awaiting acceptance to University of Florida's Dental School. I am also a certified personal trainer so I am very familiar with anatomy. I have also been playing the guitar and piano for 10 years.

I believe all children can enjoy eating broccoli. I find this works best if the broccoli is smothered with cheese and accompanied on the plate with something fried. I have found that overeating is a very effective way to teach the student dangerous gastric consequences. I demonstrate this by ordering pizza, allowing them to eat as much as they want, and then immediately afterwards giving them free reign to various quarts of ice cream. I know I can make a difference in every students' stomach.
After graduating cum laude from Yale University with a PhD in Eating, I interned for two years at Dunkin Donuts, fine tuning my skills in eating pastries. I've also spent two summers eating in various food malls, specializing in China One, Chick Fil-A, and Baskin Robins. I have tutored students Overeating, Pizza, and Alka Seltzer.

Students learn best by being lead to discovery. Much of education is developing the ability to not get lost as one learns. I have found that given the time and the data at a proper gradient anyone can learn anything. Finding out what the student already knows and building, with clarity, upon that gives the confidence to learn and the desire to be educated.
I taught for 38 years before retiring. I have taught students from age 3 to age 106. Most of my teaching was with students that had learning problems, such as minorities,the underprivleged, the undereducated and the handicapped. I have a wide variety of skills and interests that makes tutoring fun and interesting for the student. My enthusiasm for life and my upbeat style has always been effective with children and adults of every age. I have taught Elementary School, High School, Adult Education, Special Education and English as ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent graduate, I was very driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I am a strong promoter of education advocacy and I truly feel "no child should be left behind". I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Biology/Pre-Med with a minor in chemistry which has enabled me to gain a vast understanding of various types of science.
I love working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am determined to assist your child in obtaining academic success in any way possible. I am understanding, outgoing and kind. I want all children to succeed and I am willing to find any way possible to help them do such a thing.

I'm from Ecuador and I speak native Spanish language. I'm studying Oil Engineering so all days I'm practicing English because all books are in English and it's easy for me understand them. I have earned a English degree in an English Language Institute named COPEI in Guayaquil-Ecuador. Actually, I'm teaching Basic Statistics at university. But always I've teached mathematics, chemical and physics for high School's students.
I love teaching young people. But I don't mind if they are older, because I'm very patient. Always, I prefered to ask the level of the person in any subject and I begin from the minimun level, step by step.. I always reach excellents results..

Having a love of knowledge and learning, I have always been interested in teaching. I tutored other students both officially and unofficially from grade school through college level. Just last year I spent most of the year instructing students in various computer-related subjects. I have always been proficient in Math and Sciences, as well as good knowledge of history, social studies, and all other general subjects.
I enjoy seeing anyone's eyes light up when they learn something new. Everyone has the capacity to learn, and I reflect that by tailoring my teaching style to each individual. In a classroom setting, I am patient and frequently ask questions and wait for students to ask their questions. While the students are working on their exercises, I will answer any questions. I try to get the student to work through the problem him- or herself rather than giving the answer straight ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love using manipulatives with all subjects. It makes learning fun even for those that are frustrated with the subject. Since everyone learns in a different way I need to teach the material in different ways to find out which way is best for that student. By using manipulatives with verbal directions and giving examples for them to see covers the bases of physical, visual, and aural learning students. I was not very good in certian subjects like math in elementary school and I had to come up with ways to learn the material on my own. This has helped me to teach students that are like me when I was that age. I can relate to how they are struggling and their frustration in not keeping up with the rest of the class.

I am a dedicated enthusiastic and effective educator.I believe,the teacher is only as good as her student,thus I thrive on the success of every student.I like the student to feel comfortable,and encourage them to interact with the lesson.I initiate discussion,ergo the student shares their thoughts on the subject matter.This gives instant feedback on student progress and comprehension. Above all I respect the intelligence of every student.I educate the student on the topic of study and let the student know he will conquer and master the subject matter.Most importantly,I am a firm believer in the smile, giving a friendly greeting and departing each lesson with a smile from my student to me.In closing learning should be fun.
