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

My teaching experience and my hobby was directing and acting in productions. 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 important in a student’s success. 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 stude

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 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 the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally education. Near the end of this time, I felt that the best use of my talents and experience would be in the classroom helping to build a better society through the young people who cross that threshold. I spent three years in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area teaching 7th and 8th grade learning handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and autistic students. through all of these years I have also tutored students ranging from inner city broken homes to Ivy League geared people. I have found that the best way to teach is to be flexibl

I would say that my teaching style varies depending onthe person I am teaching. There are several ways that people respond to in order for them to understand. I thik that everyone has a unique teaching style but still needs to be flexible in order to help the student understand. I have been at Fccj for a little over two years. I have studied and mastered a variety of subjects. I am starting JU next summer to earn my BSN. I currently have my AA degree in nursing.I've spent a lot of time in the student life and leadership department that works one on one with students to help them with college success.

As a Post-Graduate student, I know the meaning of hard work that leads to success. In 2007, I have received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminology and currently completing my second degree in Biology. I applied my skills across a broad spectrum of science, math, behavioral studies, writing, research, and language skills. I have helped many peers in areas that were difficult for them. In 2006, I have participated in a short-termed program that provided help for grade school students struggling in classes. From that point forth, I have provided tutoring services to those that requested my help as needed. I have experienced that everyone learns differently; some people are visual, audible, physical, or a combination. I know because I struggled in classes before. I strongly believe that "no child should be left behind" due to lack of resources or lack of underst

Since high school, my passion for telling stories led me to my degree in Journalism. I worked as a professional news reporter for two medium market stations and was on my way to work for a larger market. My career took a turn for the better and I found my calling was education. I have always coached and been a choreographer, so working with children and helping them succeed was also a passion. I hope to utilize my skills in writing and communications, as well as my discipline and focus skills I acquired in band, cheer and dance, to help students succeed. My teaching style is very hands-on. I believe in practical knowledge and showing students several different ways to understand something. I also believe in providing students the opportunity to figure out solutions to problems on their own with encouragement, instead of just having them copy what I say. I also believe that all lea

I have been in the educational field for many years. My experience has led me to teaching, coaching teachers and directors in schools and training. I have tutored children in the primary years in reading, language arts and math. I believe that every child can learn given the respect and nuturing to cultivate their own self-esteem. I want my students to enjoy learning for this is the foundation of what they will be doing for many years. It is very powerful when you have assisted a student and they say, "I understand or this is intersting." You have to find the right tool that sparks each child and then you will have succeeded.

As mentioned in the above paragraph, I love helping and being around children. One has to have patience in working with children. You also have to try to see things from their perspective. I have always had a natural gift with children. When I am out and about kids talk to me and smile at me. My friends are always amazed that this happens no matter where I am. I consider myself a very fun woman that remembers what it is like to be a "kid". I believe motivation, organization, patience, & love is all you need in guiding a child. Most of my jobs & volunteer work can be related to counseling with children. My first jobs were mainly related to chiild care, baby-sitting, and being a nanny. In 1998, I became a Listener for the Mental Health Association. I met with children once a week for 30 minutes to help them work out their feelings and emotions. We played games & talked. I became their fri

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 minute of my chosen career path. My primary background is in both English and Theatre, though I have tutored in all subjects and have worked with several Florida tutoring organizations here in Jacksonville. I have worked as an English teacher at Bishop Kenny High School as well as an English tutor for 6th through 12th grade students, and believe that my background in both Theatre and English is what makes me an approachable, friendly, and very skillful tutor in any area in which I tutor. 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 le

I am nurturing, patient yet firm, encouraging and expect someone to work to the best of their ability. I believe that all children can do their best if they have the right support behind them. Children are all different and each child has a strength and a weakness. If a child has the support to overcome their weakness in a certain subject area it will improve, their self image and greatly improve their confidence. It's wonderful to see a child blossom when they overcome their challenges. As a Sociology major and History minor I was very much interested in people and how they lived, interacted and survived during their experiences in their lifetime. I have always enjoyed interacting and teaching people.

I have both the educational credentials as well as the work experience to be an effective tutor. As a professional, I have experience working in both the education and social work fields. This has given me a unique perspective on working with at-risk students. I have not only tutored and mentored elementary and middle school students, I have worked with them on goal-setting and behavior modification, provided counseling and family advocacy, and coordinated community services. My one and only passion has always been children. I strongly believe that every child should be respected and given an equal opportunity for success. In my experience, most children learn best through hands-on learning opportunities. Paper-and-pencil work has its place, however, I find it's important to provide other methods of teaching that cater to different types of learners such as kinesthetic and auditor

I am passionate about working with all children and making a difference. I know that all children can learn but that they learn differently and will need various teaching styles. I like to use a lot of manipulatives when teaching math and reading, to use songs, and to find things you child enjoys to teach them important educational necessities. I believe that high expectations yield high reseults. My experience with low income students in Jacksonville has shown me that anyone can learn if they are given the proper tools and enthusiastic support. I taught Kindergarten in Gainesville in 2008 and am teaching Kindergarten in Jacksonville at St. Pius elementary school. I have been babysitting, tutoring, and working with children for ten years. I spent the summer in Italy as an English tutor.
