My comments on tutoring Sign Language : I have taken 2 semesters of ASL at the college level and frequently interact with the local Deaf community in Lakeland, FL.

I aim for all tutoring to be done in the target language, but I recognize that this is unhelpful for many students. Nevertheless, I will start out only using the target language, but will switch to the students' preferred language upon request.
I have tutored 1 student privately in Spanish for 2 years, and she went from failing her class to passing both the AP and IB exams with a 5 and a 6, respectively. I have also tutored small groups in Spanish for one semester ranging from high school introductory level to AP level. I have also tutored for one semester of ASL at the college level, and one semester of Japanese at the high school introductory level.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment. I empower and encourage students through many different strategies. Making learning fun and exciting is often the tool that is missing in the classroom as well as differentiated instruction. Students learn though discovery and using all senses. I incorporate music as well since it has power to change moods and make connections in learning. I inspire students to make a difference in their own lives by empowering them to achieve success.
As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education. I have earned a BS and MS in Specific Learning Disabilities, Varying Exceptionalities, and English Speakers of Other Languages. I have always had a desire to work with students who have difficulties learni ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After gaining a tremendous amount of experience as an elementary school teacher and after school tutor, I have learned that my approach is gentle and positive. My goal consistently remains to help students see their strengths, remain positive at all times, and see each and every student as a success. I believe every person has the capability to achieve and be more than average. My gift is teaching these students how to get there with patience, persistance, consistency, and genuine care.
After graduating from Central Michigan University, I began my career in education as an early childhood teacher. Soon after, I completed and passed the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations and advanced my career as an elementary teacher. In this time, not only did I develop and implement daily lesson plans according to state and district standards, but also tutored student according to their a ... read more

As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now that I am here in Florida I want to continue to tutor, mentor, and foster educational improvement.
I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach. I presently teach at a montessori school for deaf children. I truly enjoy working everyday with my students. I have an innate ability to teach. I take pride in providing individualized education to all of my students. I guide them with respect and dignity to allow them to realize their potential. Being positive and having the right attitude can bring down many barriers that may block one from growing and learning and I make sure that each one of my students can learn the power of this.
I have a varied academic background. I graduated from an interpreting training program in 1998 and worked as an educational interpreter for several years. I then went back to college to get my degree in education. Most of my studies are in education, including deaf and special education, psychology, counseling, american sign language, child speech, language development, and ... read more

My past experience living and teaching in Cairo, Egypt demonstrates both my personal and professional commitment to student achievement while at the same time overcoming language and cultural barriers. I believe this was accomplished by creating an environment where every child was respected and challenged to do their very best in a fun and relaxed manner. Throughout my working experience, I have realized that building strong relationships with all people is my key to success. I hope to be a role model who will inspire and help students achieve their academic goals.
First, I have a genuine passion to inspire children to reach their full learning potential. Secondly, I would like to lead by example, continuing my own desire to be a life learner and thereby, encouraging our students to also feel the zest for knowledge. I believe knowledge promotes ones self-esteem and in return fos ... read more

I love to work with students of all ages, especially children. I am kind, patient, and enthusiastic about the process of learning and living. I believe it is essential to offer an environment that creates an upwards spiral and wide web of learning through utilizing methodologies like that of Vygotsky’s Scaffolding and a Montessori Approach, as well as employing ideologies from John Dewey, Alvin Johnson and Margret Wheatley – that when you learn what you love then you will realize that everything else that need be learned is intricately connected to each other. I have a creative essence that allows me to teach with ease and students to learn and be successful in every area of their education.
I have always had a passion for education and learning for myself and others of all ages. After pursuing my BA degree in Humanities awith a Minor in Leadership, I taught for five years in a c ... read more

I believe that all children can learn but they don’t all learn in the same way. It is important to maintain structure but in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to learning. I ascertain that children can make their own connections to what they are studying and then claim success for their learning. I use a variety of resources to help a child grasp understanding such as music, manipulatives, books, and technology. Through direct instruction of needed skills and strategies, guiding their practice, and individual practice, I scaffold children’s learning.
I am fluent in American Sign Language and have served as an interpreter mainly in religious settings. I taught at the preschool level for 17 years before completing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education K-6 with ESOL Endorsement from the University of South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in a south-county school which ... read more

As a teenager, I became an Eagle Scout and was a peer mentor (Big Bro./Big Sis.). I am an Earlham College graduate with a BA in Japanese Studies. After graduation I went on a study-abroad program to Japan and taught English to junior high students, and tutored elementary students in Japanese upon returning to the U.S. I was a counselor at a camp for teenage boys with behavior issues where I provided therapeutic action and wrote daily individualized reports. I have assisted in two classrooms and instructed P.E. at a Montessori school. I lead a classroom of lower elementary students (6-9 yo). I have extensive experience tutoring, teaching, and managing individual and groups of children.
Each child is unique and learns in different ways. By being an active participant, children are able to 'construct' their education more impressionistically, with the understanding that auditory an ... read more
