Hello! I have 15 years of teaching experience in the classroom and have been tutoring now since January of 2012. I have a true passion for teaching! I have taught in the parochial, private, and public schools. I taught at Assumption Catholic School from 1997-2004, English and Reading to 6th-12th grade ESE students at The Broach School from 2004-2008, and Intensive Reading to 11th and 12th graders at Andrew Jackson High School (public inner city urban in Duval County) from 2010-2011. I have also conducted FCAT, ACT, and SAT prep, as well as study skills in the summer months when students don't have schoolwork! While in the classroom my average student came up 3-4 grade levels in a year in reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and language mechanics. My certification was in English 6-12 while in the classroom I believe every student can learn! School was never meant to be a

I adapt my style of tutoring based on the needs of the student. -I have been tutoring successfully for the past four years, aiding not only colleagues in their desire to obtain optimal grade point averages, but also kids with ages ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade. -I have tutored kids towards end of year exams and have turned desperate situations into passing grades. -I received a 1390/1600 SAT score and did not take the ACT.

I allow my teaching style to mold itself to each individual student, finding methods of communicating the information that best suit the learning style of my student. I favor a holistic approach to learning, believing that education should be of the whole person. If a student learns how a skill in his tutoring session can be applied in real life, then his or her perception of the subject may fundamentally improve. I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, with experience tutoring at Tennessee Temple University, as well as University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in various topics, including biodiversity, mathematics (up to pre-calculus), history, and American Sign Language. I continue to study in my personal time as many topics as possible, with the belief that a good tutor is firstly a good student.

I prefer to get to know students and cater my style of teaching to what works best for each student. For some students at some points, a direct teaching approach works. For others a discovery method works well. I employ a whole child approach to whatever teaching methods I use. With six years of experience in high school public schools -- a vo tech school, an alternative school and a regular zone school--I have ample experience with a wide variety of students. I teach English literature and grammar. I have editing experience as an editor of a newsletter, and I wrote a few published articles for newspapers. I also have a degree in teaching from a prestigious school.

I enjoy teaching and have always had a passion for working with children. i feel that with the right encouragement any child can learn the skill sets necessary to succeed. i believe that positive encouragement is the key to helping children learn. I have gained a different perspective in my current job while working with adults with developmental disabilities. It amazes me to see what structure and praise can do for a child. i desire to make a difference in the people's lives i work with by being a positive role model and never doubting a child's potential. As a college graduate at a small liberal arts university, I have always valued education. I received my bachelor degree in Psychology in spring 2006. During college, i had the opportunity to tutor for a 5th grade classroom in all subjects. After college I have worked at two jobs which allowed me to tutor. As a Family Services

Having spent 35 years as a public and private school educator, I have learned that every student has a capacity to learn. It is my responsibility to find the "key" to open the individual student's "learning door". I have always believed that a down-to-earth, personal approach is best. I am considered by former students as an understanding, compassionate teacher. "Reality based" is the best way to describe my teaching style -- we all can learn, but we all learn in different/unique ways. Having worked with ESE students(both gifted and challenged), has given me insight into "what works". I CAN help your student! I began teaching high school Journalism, English, and History in 1966 and have spent 15 total years at the secondary level. After four years in the Air Force and two years as a delinquent youth probation counselor, I returned to teaching with a Master's Degree in Exceptional Stu

My first experience tutoring was in college as a Project Appalachia volunteer. As my daughter grew up I was very involved at her schools, as home room mother and volunteer. Susan is now a 21 year old pre-med, Honors Program senior with a 4.0. As a Human Services Planner for the City of Jacksonville I have honed my communication skills by preparing annual reports, white papers, a newsletter, grant writing, public speaking, and working with non-profit organization recipients of grants administered by the City. As a Family Development Liaison for the Head Start Program, I was responsible for monitoring three centers, conducted monthly meetings for parents, and was engaged in multiple activities with the families. I believe that the key to a productive and happy life is a solid, formal education. I also believe that education should be exciting and challenging and that every child shoul

In my opinion teaching a student isn't hard at all. With anything practice makes perfect, and that's exactly what most children need to succeed.I like to use the modeling approach to teaching.I first tell students what to do, then show them how to do it. I always ask the student what it is they think they're suppose to do, because it's my experience that sometimes students get confused on what it is they're tasked with doing. My objective is for the students to learn by understanding and not by memorization. I do this with care and patience. I’m a firm believer that with hard work comes great reward.I graduated with a BS degree in journalism. This gave me the opportunity to appreciate the acts of investigation, writing, and deadlines.I held the position of a substitute teacher, and I taught grades from kindergarten to 12th grade.

As a professional holding my teaching degree and now working on my masters in Counseling for Education at the University of North Florida, I love working with students. I substitute taught in Nashville, Tennessee for a semester at the middle school level in every subject. This past school year I substitute taught at the high school level. I took over a Freshman and Sophomore Algebra class for the last two months of school. I loved every second of it and would have loved to have continued, but I already had plans to move to Jacksonville to start on my masters this summer. I also tutored a 6th grade boy in Nashville for a year in math. I am very good working one on one with students. I am willing to take on any challenge. I have the belief that every student can achieve and have success. I would have never gone into the teaching field if that was not my belief. I have high expectations for

I have an affinity working with chldren. I was as a social worker/court worker through the Department of Children and Families, a teacher at a school in Mims, FL for ESE kids for about a year and a half. This was from 200-2001.I worked as a therapeutic mentor for Devereux of Florida and also teaching social skills for the Department of Juvenile Justice/Board of Education for Volusia Co. Florida. I was an aide for children at an Elementary School in Thief River Falls Minnesota. These jobs span from 1999 to 2007. These different positions have afforded me the opportunity to develop teaching skills for these children in the areas of math, science, history, grammar, and social studies. I utilize a very structured teaching style that usually utilizes a lot of examples and visual aides. It also takes getting to know your student and what they best respond to.

I enjoy teaching to the utmost level. I know my strengths lie primarily in students who are of the kindergarten through fourth grade levels. I feel students should have the opportunity to be themselves and is why I enforce a learning enviornment that is condusive to being independent learners. As a graduate of a prestigious college, I was inspired to change my major from music education to elementary education. This choice was made due to the growing decline in students level of achievement in reading. I have my degree in elementary education and also a special certification from NASA with an emphasis in mathematics and reading. During the last eight years I have tutored students through after school programs,Sylvan Learning, and also through individual tutoring through my home.

It is my personal belief that all students are capable of learning and excelling in any subject that they are having difficulty with, one must simply find a way to relate the information to the student with methodologies and lessons that appeal to their strengths and personal interests. My teaching style is one wherein the student and I are allowed to take advantage of a relaxed atmosphere that promotes both confidence and structure in the student(s) whom I am working with. I find that compassion, understanding, and constant positive reinforcement are the best methods to promote learning skills in a student's life, as well as to provide the student with the desire to further their work ethic in the classroom. I have spent the past nine years of my life as an educator working at all levels of education including elementary, primary, secondary, and undergraduate and enjoyed every min
