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.

I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I am infinitely patient and understanding. I have a natural ability to spot the source of a student's misunderstanding and then to clear it up in a way in which they will best understand. My goal is not to produce a pupil who can glibly repeat back the information I've given him, but who can apply the data with confidence so that he can see the importance of it and use it later on in his studies or in life.
As a National Merit finalist, I have always been a dedicated, well-rounded student. I just recently graduated from the University of Florida with my BA in English (high honors) and minors in French and Latin. I'm a writer with excellent language and grammar skills. I have been tutoring since I was seventeen. During my college career, I tutored fellow students in English and writing.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I strive to make my teaching fun and interesting, I look for the student's hot button or passion and then use it to motivate him to excellence in his studies.
I have studied marine biology for two years at the Duke University Marine Lab; I taught chemistry, general science, electricity, and metric education at the high school and college levels. I have extensive knowledge of ocean and marine electronics since I have been charter boat fishing captain for last 8 years. I am very talented in working with the learning disabled since I have identical twin 19 yr olds that I have tutored for their whole life. Also I am a motivational speaker for a variety of schools and organizations (Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, and Rutledge Jr College). I have also taught business principles, management and marketing at St Ambrose University.

High-schoolers are my favorite students because, at 21, I am young enough both to garner respect and to build rapport with them. While accelerated students are often a pleasure, I enjoy working with slower students because their little breakthroughs are eternally satisfying. In the classroom, I like to stay casual but still maintain an environment in which everyone can learn. I focus on positive reinforcement and encouragement and try to relate to my students on a personal level. Listening, to me, is the key to good teaching; I don't mind hearing about my students' messy romantic entanglements as long as their stories can become viable supporting paragraphs for an SAT essay!
I graduate on May 6 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature. As a participant in the English Honors program and winner of the Outstanding Honors Student Scholars ... read more

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.

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.

My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessment. As a researcher investigating social learning theory, I have become equipped with the skills of noticing and reflecting on the behavioral "cues" of learning to further guide my students/guests to a higher ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) through engaging learning moments. I have worked with children as young as two and frequently facilitate the learning of older adult guests on matters of scientific principles and discovery.
My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential whic ... read more

I began my teaching career teaching free SAT preparation courses for students at schools in low socio-economic areas. This exhilarating and fulfilling experience led me to return to school to obtain my teaching certificate. I have taught both elementary and middle school students in a classroom setting, and have successfully tutored high school students in Algebra, Algebra II, Trigonometry, and Precalculus. I enjoy working with students of all ages and am passionate about providing excellent, individualized education.
I believe education should be individualized for each student. Instruction should be flexible and creative in order to adapt to a student’s learning style, speed, and personality. Additionally, students need to learn not just enough facts to pass a test, but they need to learn think critically and to problem solve. This means teaching not just the “what” and the “ho ... read more

As a foreign language graduate from USF I have achieved excellent credentialities from my former professor to obtain a post of assistantship at the same institution to teach undergraduate French level 1&2 for a period of two years. Based on my supervisor's comment I have accomplished outstanding experiences through the classroom management.I was highly involved and motivated to collaborate with the department administrators to plan and improve the foreign language program while working hard to earn my MA degree.
I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firml ... 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

I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned in the lectures.
The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encourageme ... read more
