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

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 to Site Coordinator where I was in charge of my own after school care group, including being in charge of organizing activities and managing youth counselors. Most recently I underwent PADI Divemaster training where I had real world experience teaching and assisting PADI Open Water students with classroom, confined water, and open water training. 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 inst

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

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

My teaching style is dynamic. I try to make all lessons interesting to capture the attention of my students. Typically, I teach the material for a short period in the beginning of the lesson, but focus my efforts on reinforcing the acquisition of knowledge and skill in the student through activities and cooperative discussion of the material. I enjoy what I do and the students benefit from my passion. I am lawyer. I've also taught and tutored for approximately 2 years. Since I read and write for a living, I appreciate the beauty of words and the impact that a carefully placed word can make. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology and I've worked with many personality types in my professional life; as such, I work well with variant personality types.

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

As a teacher of elementary mathematics, I understand how students of similar age can work on completely different levels. I believe to maximize comprehension, it is my duty to meet each student on his or her level and work from there. I have found that students learn differently and with different techniques and tools. As many of our students are technologically advanced, I incorporate this component into the learning process. For my visual learners, I provide visual cues. In all, I make what ever adjustments are necessary to meet each student on his or her level. As a student at the University of Miami, I studied anthropology and busines administration. I graduated from the University with my BA. I have over 8 years of administrative and financial experience working in the County government and at the University of Miami. My passion to work with the youth led me to make a career
