A Little Bit About Me...

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education with a minor in math. I have a Master's of Science degree in Elementary Education K-6 with a math concentration. These degrees and the nine credit hours in Gifted Education have enabled me to have an extensive understanding of mathematics, logic and critical & creative thinking. I have taught second, fifth, and sixth grade self-contained classes, sixth and seventh grade math, and I was the coordinator/teacher of the Gifted & Talented program for our district which included grades K-8. I have tutored students in mathematics and language arts.
For me, teaching is not just a career, it is a passion. I enjoy the challenges it has brought me through the variety of grade levels and concentrations that I have taught. I have been lucky to have worked with diverse populations at all grade levels K-8. I encourage students to be cr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I've worked with children for the past 20 years and know the importance of helping children develop a positive attitude towards learning! Chances are if a student is having difficulty achieving academic goals, then they probably don't enjoy that subject and naturally resist that, which they need most. There are ways to develop a child's self esteem so they want and even enjoy learning!
I am a seasoned professional Tutor for the past 5 years; all subjects all grades. I have a BS from Florida International University and MS from Nova University (all coursework completed earning all A's). Having success in learning has as much to do with attitude as it does understanding and retention. This is the ultimate goal not only for the student, but the Tutor as well!

I have earned a degree in Elementary Education and am certified to teach grades k-6. I am a general education teacher so I am well experienced in teaching all subject areas. I currently teach second grade but have experience in other elementary grade levels. I have attended many inservices that have introduced various instructional strategies to help children at all levels and abilities.
I am an outgoing individual who is eager to help any child reach thier own potential. I am willing to try new approaches to help a child succeed. I often design my own content driven hands on manipulatives to help children build skills that are lacking. I like to use games to help a child explore ideas that are new or difficult. In my current teaching position I work with children at many levels and have the ability to differentiate instruction to fit those different needs.

I am now married to a long time elementary school teacher and we frequently discuss experiences in teaching. She knew my son very well and we talked about his needs in education. I enjoyed working one on one with him, not only as my child but in seeing the comprehension and enthusiasm that he developed in our working together. The greatest thrill a teacher can have is knowing that a child enriched his or her own life through knowledge and learning.
I was a single parent to a son with cerebral palsy and "tutored" him through elementary, middle and high school as well as a community college. With his disability, my son required hands on help and patience and encouragement which I think I supplied with success.

What I like most about tutoring is the great nervous energy and excitement I feel as I work with children, this despite the fact that I have been tutoring for over 5 years. The anticipation of meeting so many new people and working with other students and starting adventure in learning gets my juices flowing. It is the excitements of the students that I come across keep my interest each time I interact with them. It never ceases to amaze me how every student develops their own personality and reactions to my teaching style. Ican tutor adults and student including days and nights and not one is the same. The content is the same but the way students handle the cooperative learning activities abd styles. Even within a smallgroups or individual setting, they function differently and develop their own personalities.
I am qualified to assist with aspects of their education and training ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels. I meet them and determine their learning style as well as general abilities. Helping each student to discover his or her strengths is key to success in tutoring each client. Working with classroom teachers or counselors is also very important as communication should be a strong link in the ability to pinpoint areas of need. Being positive and encouraging is a hallmark of good and successful tutoring. My students enjoy our sessions and the older students recommend me to their friends as well.
I worked in California for one year as a substitute teacher; I worked for three years in a Christian School first in a 3-4 combination, then a 5-6 combination, then a 4-5 combination.

I spent 6 years tutoring my children who were ESE and ADHD and have been tutoring others for a year. My students range from first grade through college in mathematics and grades 1-8 in all subjects and preparation for FCAT, SAT, ACT. I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in physics and and AAS in data processing. I use a variety of methods to teach effectively.
I have taught many subjects and sports throughout my life. I have always enjoyed teaching. My tutoring results are mirrored in the grades of my students. I usually assess the present situation, attempt to bring the student current, then cover material expected for the grade level that may have been missed. A good basic knowledge and ongoing supervision with attention to student organization provides lasting results.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based on; first instilling in the student that they "can" learn and there is nothing they cannot achieve. I teach them through building on successes and the skills they already know, then introduce new skills and practice applying them to real life situations where this step allows the students to see the relevancy of what they are doing. I believe in providing a multitude of verbal praise for each step of learning. I believe in encouraging students to ask questions and not be afraid to say for the one hundreth time, "I dont get it".
My work experience over the last 25 years has been a variety of private tutoring, public schools, and a residential treatment center. I have experience working with all ages of children from kindergarten to college level. I specialize in teaching children with learning disabilites, or students who seem to struggle with learning ... read more

As a graduate of a private liberal arts college, I was educated in English and multi-cultural literature. As a reflection of what I was learning, I became interested in participating in the literary tradition, and began to take creative writing very seriously. I developed a passion for both poetry and literature and wish to share it with my students. I have tutored English, writing, history, ecology, and screenwriting.
My passion for language and literature drives my desire to teach; I love to share everything from a basic grammar lesson to an in-depth, critical exegesis of a foreign novel. I strive to provide an individual-based educational experience for each child. I draw on each student's strengths and weaknesses to tailor each lesson. As the poet Stanley Kunitz once wrote, "live in the layers / not on the litter."

I am a very patient person and my teaching style reflects that. I will always make sure your child understands the concepts that the teacher is trying to teach. Even when he or she shows that the material is understood I will always go over it a few more times to make sure it really sticks. Everyone has a learning style that works best for them and I will try to figure out the method that will allow your child to improve the most. I will also try and make sure I teach at a pace that is appropriate for your child.
I am a very recent graduate of Penn State where academics are a main focus.

I would tutor a student in other subjects on a case by case basis. I have written a lot of papers and am very good at grammar. I have been an English ... read more
