A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very comforting, fun, and yields results. I know with nurture, time, patience, resources, and love ALL children can learn. I am an advocate of allowing children to try and work independently. I feel giving a child that confidence to allow them to make mistakes and be able to correct themselves is powerful. Being an ESE teacher has allowed me to differentiate my students in learning groups that will allow them to learn from each other and to grow as great scholars. They laugh, discuss, and learn together. My teaching style is a warm, family like environment. I love what I do!

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very positive and encouraging. Students need to feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them. Students' achievements should be recognized. Children learn through active participation with their environment. I plan activities that provide students with the experiences needed to build on their existing skills. These activities are geared toward giving children the opportunities for growth and to feel good about themselves while engaged in learning.

I taught prekindergarten (ESE), kindergarten, second grade, and remedial reading for first through fifth grade. I volunteered as a reading tutor while working at the Department of Education.

The most rewarding moment in my teaching career involved Emily, a college student who suffered an injury, leaving her with severe short term memory problems. She had great difficulty learning new math concepts. We could work on the same, problem over and over again and she wouldn’t remember completing it once, let alone a dozen times. I learned that word-for-word repetition was the best way to move ideas from Emily’s short term memory to her long term memory. After many hours working together, I received a phone call from an elated Emily telling me that she finally earned a B in College Algebra and couldn’t have done so without my help. Emily taught me how to adapt to my students. Each student has her own strengths and weaknesses. It’s my goal and passion to find the best method of helping each student understand concepts and excel in their class.

I am a firm believer in that every child can succeed in whatever they strive for if they are given proper instruction. Even difficult learners can succeed if the proper teaching methods are employed. Different students have different stimuli that they respond to. There is no one cookie cutter mold for teaching. After all, each student is an individual and responds in their own way. The challenge for the teacher is to find the most efficient way to engage and motivate the student to genuinely want to learn and succeed.

I am Florida certified in Exceptional Student Education and Middle Grades Integrated curriculum. I am currently teaching Science, Math, Life Skills and Social Personal Skills.

More About This Tutor...

Besides teaching language arts for the last four years in North Carolina, I have a lifelong interest in education, as so much was provided to me. I have tutored students from Japan, India, Puerto Rico and Mexico in vocabulary acquisition and conversational English. My background in journalism provides my strong foundation in spelling, grammar and reading comprehension. I have also completed graduate coursework in linguistics in San German, Puerto Rico, as well as a semester abroad in China, focusing on International Relations. I am eager to help children succeed in school, and feel quite capable in relating to students at their level.
My teaching style has foundations in the Socratic seminar, where class discussions lead students to form their own understanding of the materials/subjects at hand. As students only retain 5% of what is spoken in lectures, I encourage students to follo ... read more

My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions.
I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed.

A Little Bit About Me...

I greatly enjoy working with my patients and teaching them about their diagnosis. Watching them learn and listening to their challenging questions inspires me to continue my own education as an adult. I strongly believe that each child has his/her own learning style and it is your job as a teacher/tutor to tap into that style to reach that student. I focus on children's abilities and what they can accomplish with a little encouragement or guidance. My goal is to teach the student while challenging and stimulating their mind.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught children with a variety of exceptionalities which include learning disabilities, autism, and mental retardation. I especially enjoy the challenge of teaching students who having learning difficulties. The children I have been accustomed to working with have typically fallen in the kindergarten through 5th grade level. I am most accustomed to teaching math and language arts, but feel I am capable of also teaching students in other subject areas. I teach according to students' learning styles and according to the particular student's needs. I believe that all children are capable of learning given the appropriate environment and experiences.
After graduating from college, I taught preschool for 2 years. Since that time, I have worked with children with special needs in a variety of capacities. I currently work in the school system where I have been employed as an Instru ... read more
