Every child learns in a different way. It is important to find a way to help them interpret and learn so they will stay interested and encouraged. English and literature major. I work in the medical field but continue to use my journalism and proper grammar, as well as, use spelling and encourage the hobby of reading and comprehension to my own children.

I am very patient and like to use visual teaching styles. Throughout my grade school experience I never obtained anything below a 3.0 GPA. As a college student I have acquired a 4.0 GPA and feel confident I can assist with any educational needs. I have never made anything less than an A on any paper I have ever written. I have experience in all fields as I have already completed the basic requirements for my degree in Psychology. English, Science, and History have always been my chosen subjects in school. Math was not my favorite but with time and dedication I overcame any “additional” problems. I coached cheerleading for 5 years as I cheered for 16 years. I feel that experience alone has provided me with an adequate way of teaching. I understand what it takes to aid an adolescent in understanding their goal and exemplifying how to reach it. My goals now are currently bachelors in Ps

Working one-on-one with the student to assess their current level and what study methods will work for them. Will prepare before tutor session if you send curriculum/specific problems! I've helped in my mother's elementary and middle school classrooms since age ten. In high school and college, I loved coordinating study groups and helping (and learning from) my peers. Hoping to help both children/teens and adults as they endeavour to learn! I'm a current student at NAS Pensacola - so I'm always reviewing learning techniques myself and revising my strategies.

I have always loved working with children, in any capacity. Tutoring has not only combined my skills as a teacher but allowed me to work one on one with students in a way that is not possible in a classroom setting. I have had great success tutoring students of all backgrounds and academic levels because I strive to know them as individuals and find what works best for them. It is my belief that strong self-esteem is key to academic performance. Being genuine and providing continuity in instruction are elements of tutoring that I have consistently displayed throughout my years of experience and it has made all the difference for my students and for me. During and after completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I spent eight years as a volunteer tutor and three years as a paid tutor. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Melbourne, Florida and, most recently, as an AVID tutor for

I've previously worked with children at the Kids on Campus program at OWC, teaching Songham Taekwando. Both my parents are educators and have instilled in me the fundamental importance of education. I enjoy working with children and seeing them succeed on their own terms. I am willing to work diligently to see a child meet his or her educational goals. I believe that a comfortable learning environment makes learning fun for a child and also makes material retention longterm. I also encourage critical thinking and personal relationships to the mat

My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.

My style of teaching mathematics, science and Japanese is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. It is only through solving problems (for mathematics and science) and practice (for Japanese) that this knowledge becomes ingrained in a student so that they are confident to move forward. I began tutoring high school and college students in 1986. I have 6 children of my own who I have raised and taught science and mathematics. I worked 2 years as an adjunct professor at the University of Florida and was a volunteer instructor at Brigham Young University. I speak Japanese fluently and am semi fluent in German.

The ability to learn new subjects and experiences has always been a passion in my life. I strive to excel and enjoy interacting with people of all ages. I am a very social and outgoing person, and I try to place myself in positions to be active with the community. Communication is very important in any endeavor, and I received a AS degree in Communication Arts in order to enhance those qualities. I then proceeded to earn a BS degree in Psychology, with a minor in Criminal Justice, due to my interest in understanding human behavior and social interaction. During the last seven years I have helped teach English, psychology, math, the arts, and many atheletic activities. I look forward to helping people achieve their goals and aspirations, and in turn learning from others. I am very energetic and understanding when teaching children.
