More About This Tutor...

My philosophy of teaching is essentially helping students develop skills and insights in a supportive environment that they can use for a lifetime. For a student to be a skilled thinker and develop insight in any subject, he/she has to apply intellectual standards to access the information they receive in the classroom and eventually from the outside world. The teacher’s responsibility is to mold young minds by using a positive feedback mechanism to access the knowledge, skills, and more importantly the ability of students to apply their knowledge in a real life situation.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching philosophy drives my instruction. Cooperative learning, discovery-based learning, student-centered classrooms, and research-based methods are all components of my teaching style. With the support system I provide, students feel comfortable taking risks with new knowledge and aren't reprimanded for making mistakes. The fact that each student learns differently keeps me constantly adjusting and adapting my lessons and activities. I feel it is the role of the educator to do everything possible to make each child successful.
In 2001, I started my educational degree program. In order to better prepare me for my future career, I immediately started working in the school system. From 2001-2004, I worked as a 1:1 aide for a child in the primary grades, K-12 substitute in all subject areas, youth mentor for mentally disturbed children, and a life-skills tutor for a child with As ... read more

Having a Master's degree in Education and Human Services, I understand the importance and value of education. I have several years of experience in teaching in higher education. I also have experience tutoring children in my community. I have tutored children with reading comprehension and written composition.
I love teaching and enjoy working with children. I believe that children require a lot of patience and understanding. My goal is to provide a positive learning environment where children can feel motivated. I believe that children can reach their upmost potential when they are with a teacher that is able to provide a variety of techniques and methods based on their learning style. Their success is my first priority.

A Little Bit About Me...

As I went to University of South Florida, I tutored K-3rd grade with reading and writing. I graduated with a degree in Public Relations.
I love working with children and believe you need to have a great heart and a good source of patience. I love to help children and find different ways of learning for children. I was taught with games and I found myself able to do alot more then most children growing up.

A Little Bit About Me...

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.
My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to ente ... read more

I became a teacher because I enjoy working with children. I enjoy helping them in their learning process. When they do well in achieving their goal it's rewarding to me. I know I have accomplished something. All my students achieved a grade level or more whether I tutored on my own or with Club Z Tutoring Service.
I believe every child is entitled to an education regardless of any circumstance. They should strive to achieve all they can become. I try to be a teacher with patience, a good listener, and to encourage all my students with a positive attitude. My students needs come first and I try to always have extra time for them if they require it.
