A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and have worked extensively with and for children including a Case Manager at Clay County Behavioral. I have always wanted to be a teacher so earned my Teaching Certification through St. John's River Community College in ESE and Pre-K through 3rd Grade. I have been a teacher's assistant at Wilkinson Elementary in the Trainable/Profoundly Handicapped class and am now in my 2nd year at Shadowlawn Elementary working with the Hearing Impaired assisting in all subjects. I have a minor in Psychology. I feel teaching reading is a strength utilizing many different approaches.
I believe every student has their own style of learing. I am very much a visual learner and utilize this style. Many students, though, are tactile learners and/or find their attention is kept using computers. I love discovering what type of learner each child is. ... read more

My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : I am currently tutoring students in preparatiion for Florida Writes.

I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching allows me to share this joy.
I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are import ... read more

Experienced Tutor

I enjoy teaching and working with children. While I believe that all children can learn, they do so in their own ways and at their own pace. It is the tutor’s responsibility to ensure that the student(s) understand the material. It is important to show students how one idea builds on the last. I will help your child learn the material in his/her own way. I consider myself to be patient, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable of the subject matter. I truly believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am very proud of the kind letters of thanks that I have received from parents of some of my students this year.
As an engineer and I have taught planners and engineers how to use software to do calculations. I have taught GRE preparation for Kaplan (analytical and verbal reasoning) both to small classes of 3 to 7 ... read more

Extremely patient, cool tutor wanting to help you

Extremely patient, but organized. Teach students how to be organized, how to properly prepare for tests and to be able to recall information when needed.
Seven years of experience as a case manager with Healthy Families, where we helped teach families for to be better parents and to become self-sufficient. Besides being extremely organized, I am very patient and try to reach everyone on whatever level they are currently on. I don't just shove a bunch of information at you and hope you get it. Instead, I build on what strengths you already have, and show you how to use your unique, individual learning style when I am tutoring you. My strengths have always been writing, spelling, and all things related to Language Arts/English Comp. Also, I have always been pretty successful at test taking and study techniques.

As an English teacher with an advanced degree in teaching from Emory University, I have taught students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. In addition to my BA in English, I also have a concentration in creative writing from the University Connecticut. My skills in teaching writing and grammar and analyzing literature have been honed over the years. I also have taken seven years of French and feel confident tutoring students through their third or fourth year.
Having taught a variety of children, those with IEPs and learning disabilities to honors students, I have developed a variety of strategies to accelerate the learning process, mostly through differentiated instruction.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my life, I was taught to work hard so that I can achieve and be successful. My education degree from Eastern Michigan University is a testament of hard work and diligence. I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree and have utilized my skills in the area of teaching. Additionally, I have cared for children in a day care atmosphere as well as being an after school care coordinator. I was a teacher in Duval County but was laid off due to budget cuts. My teaching certificate has expired but I would love to be able to tutor children and be of help.
I am a firm believer in making learning fun. My father was very creative in the way he helped us learn on a daily basis. I used these skills and incorporate this enthusiasm in the class room every day. In addition to making learning fun, I applied disciplinary skills to assist children in wanting to learn, be productive ... read more

I practice a diagnostic-prescriptive teaching style. I believe in on-going assessments to distinguish skills that have been mastered from those still needing practice. I consider myself as part of a "team" consisting of the student, parents, school personnel, etc. All students have special needs as well as gifts. I am committed to providing individualized interventions for struggling students. As a member of the International Dyslexia Association, I strive to keep abreast of current research and best practice. I am aware of how closely academic success is tied to a student's self-esteem, therefore my goal is to assist every student to find the confidence needed to succeed.
I have tutored dozens of elementary students in reading and spelling. My experience has been focused on working with dyslexic students, primarily beginning readers. I have training and experience using specialize ... read more

Teaching is performed at two levels; academic and artistic. Academics to ensure the immediate needs are met and the student learns the curriculum so they can pass the FCAT, move to the next grade, and demonstrate proficiency to function in life. Artistry is creation of an environment for the student’s desire to learn to flourish. Their knowledge of how they best learn, believe in themselves, and desire to learn is more critical than any academic subject because it enables them to improve and trust their own learning skills. The absolute goal is to balance the need to achieve the daily academics with applying various techniques, passion, desire, and love that will set sparks to the student’s natural desire to learn.
I have been in leadership positions most of my adult life, providing teaching experience to those around me. By professional titles were in computer application designs, ... read more

I began my college career at New College of Florida, where I studied both mathematics and chemistry. I was an active participant in the Math Clinic, a free tutoring service open to the Sarasota/Bradenton community. From there, I went to Bollettieri, where I worked regularly for two semesters, tutoring their athletes in different levels of mathematics. I have tutored all level of math and science from elementary through high school, including calculus, biology and chemistry. Additionally, I have studied History, earning a BA in 2007. I feel this makes me a very well rounded individual, as I have extensive experience in the humanities as well.
I am a very firm believer in the 7 pathways of learning. I work very hard to reinforce ideas in new and different ways to help any person understand any subject. No two people learn in exactly the same way, and no two people should be taught in ... read more

I love watching students finally 'get it', when that light clicks on and they begin to understand how letters fit together to form words, or understand a math concept. I feel it is my job as a teacher to find the way that a student learns best, and develop activities or lessons that go along with that. Each student is unique with different educational gifts or struggles. It is my job to do all I can to encourage and challenge them.
This is my tenth year teaching full time. I started teaching in Korea and discovered I loved it. While there I decided to seek my Master's Degree in TESOL. After 5 wonderful years in Korea, I returned to the states and worked as a resource teacher in North Carolina. I am now a kindergarten teacher here in Jacksonville, and am in my dream job. I have class of students who have a first language other than English, and it is a delight to watch them ... read more
