A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching for 13 years. I began teaching Social Studies classes at the high school level and taught every variety of student for 6 years. I then received my Masters in Special Education and began working with special needs students in the high school setting. While teaching Special Education students,I received my Specialists Degree in Special Education. I currently teach Social Studies to learning disabled, emotional behavior students, and Mildly Intellectually disabled students. I am also in charge of the tutoring program for the whole school in Social Studies. I have a lot of patience and am willing to try anything. I also teach 2 resource classes to the LD and EBD students where we work on their individual problems. Every student is different so I have to be a jack of all trades to work with them.

My comments on tutoring Literature : Have a good knowledge of American & World Literature as well as. I have completed 7 courses in this subject matter

I believe that a student should have the time to figure things out on their own, but with guidance from their tutor or teacher. I think I should provide a student with all the tools they need, and then through example I will teach a student to figure things out for themselves. There is no other way that I know of to quickly build the confidence of a student and the belief in one's self, than to teach a student how to figure out problems on their own. It is a very uplifting and life changing experience for a student to finally have confidence in self. My role is to encourage, guide, and correct when they may be going in the wrong direction while learning.
Most all of my experience in life has been in business, Corporate America. However, I have always been a teacher at heart. I spent several years as a student tutor while I was attending college, both in the classroom and during my ... read more

I currently hold no experience with tutoring, but I am an Elementary Education major still pursuing my degree and would love to start teaching. I am a patient person, and I would prefer to work with children on Elementary subjects because it is specific to my major. Although I have no current experience with tutoring, I believe I have the ability to help you with whatever you may need.

I am confident that any student can learn the material; however, I know that sometimes different amounts of work are required, as well as different teaching methods. I try all methods until I find one that works. My job is to teach the student, and I do not stop until they understand the material. I am highly encouraging to my students, though I do push them to work hard in order to succeed. Nevertheless, I think the learning environment should be comfortable and fun in order to reduce tension for the child, so I strive to maintain an easygoing manner. Also, I long to impact student's lives, and so I try to teach them about life and to explain how the material can be applied in everyday life.
I have always been passionate about education. I pursued a double bachelor's degree in English and Spanish with the hopes of teaching the subjects one day. Indeed, I will, as in the fall I wi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Experience and education in child psychology and child development has furthered by breadth of knowledge in the special education field. I have had positive communication and working relationships with both parents and co-workers. Sixteen years teaching has seasoned my teaching skills and has given me the opportunity to employ different collaborative methods with fellow teachers and administration. I have been successful implementing a wide range of educational techniques and media in order to address the different learning styles of students. I have had the opportunity to teach students with disabilities coping skills, self advocacy and adaptive methods of learning and retaining information.
In step with my 8 years teaching in a Montessori School and being a special needs teacher, I am in tune and aware of many different learning styles. In my classroom I was very successfu ... read more

As a former U.S.Army academics instructor, I have taught several hundred students from many countries in South and Central America as well as Mexico. The academic program for these students was conducted exclusively in the Spanish language. I have received extensive education in technical terminology, lesson plan preparation, classroom conduct, and teaching aid operation. As a high school substitute teacher, I was able to implement my military experience into civilian use with a high degree of success.
I am a native of Puerto Rico. I learned English as a second language at the age of 11 years old. I recall the difficulty I had in learning the English language while at the same time trying to make it through the 5th grade. The task was frustrating and often overwhelming. The few teachers who made the effort to tutor me individualy were the ones who made the difference in my academic ... read more

As a graduate from a rigorous teacher training program at USF, I learned many skills and techniques to to teach students of all ability levels and ages. I had many opportunities throughout my college career to practice and experience teaching students from large groups to one-on-one settings. I was a recipient of the Michelin Scholarship Grant which allowed me to go to local Title 1 Middle Schools and tutor at-risk students. I was also responsible for watching and tutoring a boy in elementary school for two years. In my internships and practicums, I have had a lot of hands-on experience.
I truly believe all children can learn. I am very student-centered as I know that each child learns in different ways.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having just graduated in May 2008, I feel lucky to have already experienced a wide range of instructional opportunities. Last fall, I was employed as a Teacher's Aide and Learning Lab Facilitator. Serving in these capacities have provided me with amazing opportunities to experience the "Response to Intervention" program, IEP's, inclusion classrooms, as well as one-on-one and small group tutoring. In the Learning Lab, I taught both English and Math. In January, I was employed as an 8th grade Reading teacher. During this time I was introduced to a wide range of highly effective reading intervention strategies.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine and I thoroughly enjoy helping students to realize their full potential. I believe that all students are capable of achieving academic success so long as the teacher provides a means through which students can make personal connec ... read more

As someone who graduated with an associates in a scientific field, I know how important it is to be persistant in my knowledge of mathematics and how critical it is for others to succeed knowing the same knowledge that I know about math no matter what the career field.
My teaching styles and techniques very with the student and their knowledge of the subject and learning skills. I am patient, willing to listen to the student's(s') needs, and apply those needs in any way that I am able. My goal is the success of the student be beyond the classroom and apply that success above his or her peers. I strive to make a difference.

I find that teaching is as much about getting to know each person, finding there strengths and weaknesses and using those to benefit them in their process of understanding. I like to come up with creative approaches that will suit each individual's strengths for learning. I know that one on one attention, support and encouragement is a large component of what is missing in a lot of today's public school classrooms and love the opportunity that tutoring can provide to children who can learn just as well as anyone else, but may not be finding success in the classroom. I live for the moment when the "light bulb" comes on, there is no greater reward for that individual or the person that got to help them arrive there.
I am a lover of learning. My love for learning has certainly attributed to my working my way through a Masters of Arts in Teaching. My enthusiasm for helping others to le ... read more

As a student at Florida State University, Panama City Campus, I have been learning how to educate and tutor children. I currently tutor two children at my local elementary school that are below level/struggling readers.I have been learning how to teach all five areas(reading, math, social studies, art, science, and language arts) that are part of a child's learning experience. I am very excited to student teach in the Spring of 2011 and start helping children more by tutoring. I have worked as a substitute teacher over the past few years in Washington County and have worked in all the grade levels.
I am a very hands on type person and encourage students to use manipulatives, pictures, or various other visual aids that may help them further understand the concepts that are being mastered. I feel all children have the capacity to learn but it is up to us as educators to find how to h ... read more

My teaching style has evolved throughout the years, especially depending on the type of student, but has always included plenty of preparation and making sure I know how to work through each question properly in order to explain from more than one angle how to answer. I believe that I have a very outgoing personality that is relatable to many different persons. I have the patience to sit and work through each problem that a student may have until it can make sense to them.
While an undergraduate at Colorado State, I taught various levels of chemistry laboratories for 4 semesters, which included both teaching credits and paid work. I spent one year as a graduate student at the University of Michigan in which I taught general chemistry recitation and a laboratory section. I also was involved in a class that was designed to educate future professors on the field. I spent one semester ... read more

While at Purdue, I studied English literature and writing (academic and creative). I began college studying English education. This gave me experience in the classroom at the observation level. I pursued courses exploring classroom techniques, dynamics, and the incorporation of technology. My minor in Communication introduced me to Associated Press style and improved my copy editing skills. My second minor in Art fostered my ability to approach problems creatively. While I eventually switched my major to English, I have always loved teaching. In high school, I was given the unique opportunity to go into an elementary classroom on a daily basis and tutor students in reading through STRIVE (Students and Teachers Reaching in Volunteer Efforts). In college, I edited my peers' papers. Also during college, I babysat for two boys and helped them with their Kumon (an after-school prog ... read more

In class, I prefer a relaxed atmosphere, with emphasis on each student as a person, not inferior to the teacher, just not as yet knowledgeable enough to teach the subject at hand. In life, these students under my care at the moment may be wiser than I am in many ways regarding many things, but in the classroom where I am the instructor, I am the one in charge. Respect for the teacher and respect for the student is vital in having a well organized classroom, but a friendly atmosphere is just as vital to the learning process. Students who feel at ease with their teacher learn well and look forward to their time in the classroom rather than dreading it.
