My comments on tutoring Latin : Taught and tutored Latin I and II for 10-plus years

After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD).
I believe that all students can and will achieve ... read more

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

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.
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.

More About This Tutor...

My education is a private-based curriculum comprised of small student-teacher ratios. Since 4th grade I was taught intensive Spanish. A prep student, I excelled in English, Algebra and Geometry. My BA in Political Science included History and theoretical modern political thought and processes with a year in Latin. I studied worldwide economical and political research, often including statistics. My MBA in Marketing and Management Strategy concentrated focus in an MBA program stressing disciplines in business including Financial Analysis, Accounting and Statistical Analysis. I have informal experience as an English, Political Science and Marketing tutor to my prep, college and MBA peers. I have taught private guitar for the past 10 years.
Excellent with children, I can adjust my teaching style with the personality of the child. No child learns the same, so it is important to creat ... read more

While I graduated Summa Cum Laude with the bulk of my courses in French, History, Psychology, and Classical Studies, my tutoring experience varies over a range of subjects including French, reading, grammar, math, science, history, and study skills. I have over 10 years experience tutoring, both formally and informally, from the kindergarten to college level in both private and group settings. My experience also includes work as an SES tutor
I am dedicated to being individualized and believe that my greatest asset as a tutor is an ability to adapt to different thinking styles and situations, often on the spur of the moment. All of my tutorees have learned to trust that I will come up with a way that he/she can understand the subject material. I believe that unraveling the way a student conceptualizes is key. When it comes to a skill, I like to start as basic as possible, then mov ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer inductive teaching rather than imposing lectures. An interactive style enables students to feel they are a part of the process and it personalizes the activities so that a feeling of success is ever present to solidify the foundations upon which to build a substantial knowledge base. I take the students from where they are to where they could be and urge them with positive feedback to reach goals they might have felt were otherwise unattainable. I treat them with respect which is returned without reservation.
Having been a secondary school educator for so many years, I have observed the changes in trends in teaching as well as in learning. I have adapted my personal views to change with the trends so that I could incorporate novel techniques and personal creativity to enable all students to achieve at least to the height of their abilities. I have learned in corporate com ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a middle school math teacher in Hollywood Florida. Prior to accepting my current job, I taught English in Japan for two years. My teaching experience, along with a liberal arts education at Emory University, has primed me to be a successful tutor in a variety of different subjects.
Teaching and tutoring, while similar, are actually two distinct practices. While teaching presents a subject to a large group of students, tutoring requires the tutor to work with an individual to determine his or her strengths and weaknesses, and go forward from there. As a tutor, it is extremely important to identify an individual's needs and work together accordingly.

More About This Tutor...

As a law school graduate and a licensed financial advisor I pride myself in teaching my clients why I am taking a certain course of action. I have earned two degrees a bachelor's degree and a law degree. While in law school I wrote for the school newspaper and as an undergraduate I wrote numerous research papers I have also have 25 years of practical experience in business.
I enjoy teaching others regardless of their age. I firmly believe that positive reinforcement is vital in teaching and engenders academic success. I am patient and easy going and respectful of others. I also am aware that each student learns in different ways, I witnessed this first hand with my own children. I was intimately involved in their education from pre-school through graduate school.

Read More About Mallory H...

With an extensive academic background in both the sciences and the arts, I have used many methods of learning. My strengths vary from languages to chemistry and I am an avid writer. I have experience tutoring peers in college and since graduation I have tutored children in elementary and middle school. I have tutored students in Latin, French, Chemistry, English (writing classes).
My favorite part of tutoring/teaching is the moment when you can see the proverbial "lightbulb" go off in a students mind. The moment they begin to understand whatever it is you are teaching is such a rewarding experience for me. I wouldn't say I have a set method for tutoring, I gauge an individual's learning style as I get to know their academic strengths and weaknesses and I adapt my teaching methods to fit their specific needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.
I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible.
