Geography Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Islamorada, FL

My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For instance if I found that a student learns better visually then I would attempt to use visual cues and examples in lesson plans to make the material as easy to understand as possible. I also believe in keeping a very loose and pleasant atmosphere, and making sure that everyone feels comfortable and safe, which I believe also assists in the learning process. My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up t

My experiences as the oldest of seven children instilled in me the desire to educate others, so I obtained my BS degree in Biology and Secondary Education. I taught 7th and 8th grade sciences for five years before staying home to be a full time mother and substitute teaching on the high school level for 3 more years. I operated a small daycare during my children's growing years before returning to work fulltime in the business world. I have trained, mentored and supervised many, many young people over the years and still enjoy great personal reward from helping them grow as individuals, gain self-confidence and learn. I feel that the most important step to being an effective teacher is to make the material relevant. If the student does not see a relevant reason to learn the material, the learning curve will be much steeper. Then, I work hard to be sure the student understands my com

Almost all students get excited about learning when it is presented in a manner that fits their learning style and is appropriate for their ability/level. Assessment of both is mandatory before you can begin effective and meaningful instruction. Once these assessments are completed, learning objectives should be identified and consistently evaluated. Spiraling curriculum is a strategy that I frequently use with students during tutoring session. It allows a learner to activate their prior knowledge and then build upon it. It immediately allows a sense of accomplishment and confidence. I also utilize several medium in order to ensure my student remains engaged in the learning process. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri in 1993.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching young minds. Regardless of the reason that student is seeking tutoring, whether it be a demonstrated deficiency in performance, or a desire to excel in the subject matter, tutoring is an ideal method to provide individualized instruction to the student and tailor that instruction for maximum efficacy. As a tutor, one may vary their teaching style from student to student and further modify their approach with each student dependent upon daily emotional and motivational changes of said student. In all, I am firm in my overall teaching style but am malleable to the exigencies of the moment and the aspect of individualization is the component of tutoring that appeals most to me. I am currently a doctoral candidate for my PhD in Organizational Leadership. I also hold a Masters degree in Human Relations, an applied social science; a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Stud

Honestly, I can’t see myself in any other profession. I love what I do. There are those days that always seem tuff but at the end of every school year I am able to sit back and look at the impact I have made. I value education and realize the need for good educators to not only teach our students but get them motivated about their futures and the endless opportunities. I am patient and will work alongside any student who is willing to learn and try their best. I have truly enjoyed working with children from my early years in high school. Along with that I have always felt the need to help people in any way possible. Becoming a teacher has been such a great experience and opportunity. Overtime I have also realized that many students are unable to achieve their ultimate success due to external factors outside of school. That is one of the many reasons I have also chosen to become a school
