Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Grand Island, FL

My motto is if at all possible, I want to make learning fun. When that's impossible, let's get it over with quickly, so we can get back to the fun part. I'm a lifelong learner, so I practice what I preach. Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent through he

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparing

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment! Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked for th

Getting to know each of my students as an individual is the first step in my tutoring process. Seeing the world through his or her eyes helps me to connect the learning to the student's own paradigm or viewpoint. In my education courses, I learned the technical terms for what I've always known -- when a student can feel part of the process, he or she is well on the way to understanding. My students become part of the process, and as a rule, my students learn. A love of learning has always been my trademark. As a child, I came home excited after school every day, eager to share what I'd learned. Yet, when I found myself hitting a wall in math a few times, I learned what it was to fear school. My goal as a tutor is to move a student past that challenge so he or she can view learning as a fun, exciting experience. With patience and encouragement, I believe everyone can feel this way.

My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom. As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT.

I instructed middle school and high school students for over 12 years before I became certified as a school psychologist in 1998. I have subsequently instructed at the college level since 1998 in the areas of psychology and teacher education. I am a tenured Full Professor. I also continue to complete psychological evaluations for our college's students through our Student Disabilities Service Office. As a psychologist I understand what it takes to transfer information and get it to "stick" in our central nervous system (brain). After understanding some things about the person I would be tutoring I would then develop a plan to present information to them (in a multimodal manner)that would easily associate with their particular "past environment." The material would be usually presented in a highly visual manner augmented with auditory and some hands-on instruction.

As a veteran Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) teacher, I have assisted hundreds of struggling students learning to read and write. During the past several years my job has been Support Facilitation, helping SLD students in the general education classroom. As a professional teacher, I can work well with all kinds of students.I have worked with all ethnicities and income levels. Teaching SLD students generally involves diagnostic/prescriptive teaching, which is very similar to the type of tutoring used by organizations working with Title 1 Florida schools. My teaching style is very dependent on learner style. I identify the way the student learns best and go from there. Motivation of struggling students is often dependent on the relationship of the student to the teacher, so it is very important that teachers reach out to care and build trust with the learner. I am flexible, positive,

I have a passion for teaching and helping our youth achieve their goals. My students can depend on me for my patience in any situation and the ability I have to break down information in an understanding way. They seek my advice and come to me in happy and distressed times. I understand the needs of my students and give all I have to help them achieve their maximum ability. When I was introduced to an assistant position at the juvenile facility I developed a passion for teaching. I have six years experience of working with teenagers and assisting them in educational advancement. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Educational Studies. My strongest points are in the areas of reading, English, and social studies.

I have dedicated my life to working with children from kindergarten to the college level. It is my belief that all students can learn if provided the tools to do so. The key to their learning is embedded in the way in which their specific learning needs are met. I believe in active participation by students through the use of hands on activities that allow for discovery and a constructive approach to learning. I am very easy going and patient but at the same time expect and encourage students to reach their fullest potential and to utilize what they have learned to critical think and apply what they have learned in new and different situations. I want students to seek their very best. As a professional educator I have taught for over 20+ years at all levels including the college level, I have learned to look for the very best in students and to encourage them to reach their fullest

When I educate young people, I believe in allowing the class essentially teach themselves and empower them to conduct peer reviews, which does wonders for their self esteem. For adult learners, I have served as a facilitator in many different types of forums and adapted my teaching methods accordingly to my audience and what it is I am hoping to get across. I am extremely patient and am a good listener, which are attributes that I know assist me in building mutually respected and trusting relationships with my students. During my 13 years in the Navy, I have always excelled in my academics and I welcomed the opportunity to serve as a mentor to my peers as well as subordinates.

Education is one of the best tools anyone could have to build a fulfilling life. It is my experience that students that require that extra boost through tutoring succeed when a role model that demonstrate the skills demanded for their grade level is demonstrated step by step. I emphasize on showing students how to work through a problem while giving support and encouragement when they attempt them. I encourage student participation during the lessons and assist them in developing skills that they could use to facilitate their learning when in the classroom. I possess 10+ years of experience in the field of school psychology. My current dual Florida certification includes the instructor of Foreign Languages (K-12 Spanish) credential.
