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 finished my BA with concentrations in management and accounting at Troy University in 2007,then worked for three years in an Accounting Office. I left there in January 2010 to pursue my Masters in Accounting. I gained valuable experience in reading, writing and the application of mathematical formulas through working in a fast paced accounting office. I supervised one to three employees, trained them and audited their work. I have never officially tutored a student, but I have trained employees on accounting principals and how to write to the IRS and clients, as well as helping out friends and fellow students. I would like to tutor in reading, writing, history, business, and math.
Teaching is so rewarding, there's nothing better than helping someone understand something they have struggled with in the past. I am a very patient person who loves to work with people. I also enj ... read more

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 will begin graduate school to obtain my Masters in Spanish Secondary Education. With my English major, I not only perfected my grammatical skills but also my ability to write clearly and effectively, as I had to write many papers. As for my Spanish ability, I have been to Spain and Peru with my university, where I was able to practice my language abilities. During the course of my college years, I have tutored two ESL students in various subjects as well as assisted many students with writing papers and edited papers.
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 metho ... read more

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.

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 life. I would like to put my experience to use as a tutor who once walked a mile in the shoes of a young person who is striving to excell but is having difficulties due to a language barrier.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 connections with the material. I believe providing opportunities for choice encourages exploration of academic sources in even the most hesitant of students because their unique perspectives are being met and acknowledged. I am patient, knowledgeable, creative, and most importantly, dedicated to the academic success of your child.
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 "R ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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. I have a minor in Psychology which I use to help me understand the psyche of the child. Behavior is a very important aspect in learning and I employ Positive Behavioral Supports ... read more
