I am a certified Special Education Teacher K-12 in Florida. I work with students who have dyslexia and related learning disabilities on a daily basis. I myself have dyslexia, but when I was in school, the McKay scholarship wasn't around. I am certified in the LindaMood Belle LiPS method. This method has shown, through research, to be one of the best methods for teaching student with dyslexia how to read. This is actually how I learned how to read. This depends on the student. I can teach verbally for students who are auditory learners, visually for student who are visual learners, and kinesthetically for students who are kinesthetic learners. I know that every student can learn, it just depends on finding the specific learning style for that student. I have been working as a teacher for three years now. I enjoy working in a private school setting (two years experience) because I can devo

Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn. I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my students.

Hello! My name is Kristin. I am 28 years old and very passionate about teaching and working with students. I am an experienced tutor and have worked with students of all ages and disciplines. In addition, I have also worked as a teacher's aid in Duval County working with elementary students one on one to help them master areas where they had difficulties in. The students I worked with all saw great gains in areas that they had previously struggled in. I prefer to use a more individualized teaching style and it is important that each and everyone of my student's program is specifically created and tailored to meet his or her educational needs. For school-age children, my current availability (as of 12/11/2013) is as follows: Tuesday- 7:30PM-9:00PM Thursday- 6:15PM-9:00PM Friday- 7:00PM-9:00PM Saturday- 1:00PM-6:00PM For adult or home school students, I am also available W

I believe every student can learn! School was never meant to be a struggle, an effort yes, but not a struggle! 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 certificati

Based on personal experience, not special training 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 am efficient, assertive and effective in working with all children. I have been extremely successful in my part time, private tutoring. I set goals for all my students and feel that my job is not complete until I see my student succeed. I currently am completing my Masters in Elementary Education and hold a bachelors degree from University of North Florida in Elementary Education. I have successfully passed all three portions of the Florida Teacher Certification Exam, including Subject Area of Elementary Education. I am a certified elementary educator, can and will teach "any" child to succeed from K-6. With my private tutoring business of 10 years I have been successful thus far in teaching / tutoring K-6, as well as, secondary students, in all subject-content areas geared directly to the Sunshine State Standards.

I have fifteen years experience in education. I am very much driven to see my students succeed. I have taught English from Kindergarten to Twelfth grade. I have also taught reading, math, science and social studies. I possess strong writing and communication skills. I excel in teaching. I expect nothing but the best from myself and my students. I love teaching and working with children. I am patient and easy going. I believe that all children can learn. I just have to find their learning style and what motivates them. I believe in using a mixed teaching method. I try to gear my teaching to how the child learns. I also believe in testing to see where the child is at so that I know where I can drive instruction. I will do my best to reach and make a difference in the life of a child. If you like what you've read please call me.

I have found that the best way to teach is to be flexible, understand your student(s), and find out what will work best for them. Some students need more 'hands on' math and science projects, some students express themselves best through art and/or oratory, and then of course there are the readers and writers. I have learned through my professional trainings and experiences that there are ways to reach and, more importantly, expand each person's capacity to learn by allowing the best expression of their talents and abilities. 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 educa

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.

I enjoy teaching and working with anyone willing to learn and even those that aren't as willing, i try to help them become more comfortable and confident in acquiring knowledge. I have many teaching techniques, depending on the student. My techniques range from visual, auditory and tactile. I am very patient and observant while teaching and I try my best to accommodate whatever is needed to allow learning progress. I have earned my Bachelors of Science degree in mathematics, which has allowed me to ascertain advanced knowledge in all aspects of mathematics. By having this degree, I have gained teaching experience in the Education field at an elementary school. During my college years I tutored college students in mathematics as well.

I believe all students can learn. I enjoy tutoring students one on one because it gives me an opportunity to discover their learning style. In doing so I can teach them in the way that is going to benefit them the most. I also believe it is important to show children their strengths and teach them how to use those to be successful in school. It is my goal to make a difference in the lives of the students I teach, not just in the subject that I am tutoring. I have always enjoyed working with people. This is why I chose psychology as my major in college. A short while after graduation I worked as a tutor. At The DePaul School of Northeast Florida, I was a part-time tutor. I was hired as a full time teacher at DePaul and worked there for six years. I then decided to take time off from teaching and spent three years working in social services. During my time in social services I wor
