Hearing Impaired Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jacksonville, FL

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 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 working with students that make an effort to learn. I believe in going the extra mile with a student and showing them their true potential. Students need focus and hope that they can achieve any goal they set for themselves. I take pride in believing anyone can learn if they are treated in a manner that promotes success. I respect the fact that each student is unique and need a teacher that can accommodate their learning style. I have been helping students in the classroom for 2 years and worked with Wise Choice tutoring for 2 years. I was responsible for teaching reading and providing lesson plans to fit the needs of my students. I have worked with ESE students and students with limited English speaking skills. I also tutored several students independently in Math and Reading. I am currently working toward my Masters Degree in Mathematics and learning to be more affective to hig

I have an AA degree in Elementary Education and specialize in ESE students and reading. I have created my own lesson plans as well as taught in front of elementary and middle school students in micro-teach lessons and while substituting for teachers. I have tutored elementary, middle and high school students during high school and through college, including students with disabilities. I have also tutored college students while in college. Some subjects I tutored were math, english, reading, writing, spelling, social science, history, and literature. I have a lot of patience, I am a good listener and I do not judge any one on their abilities. I hope to help as many students as possible from now and throughout my career. I look forward to working with you! Each of my students has a differing level of strength in listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is my responsibility to go beyond

My teaching style is very different, but I love being able to differentiate my lessons to best suit my students. I do believe that all children have different learning styles, so when I deliver instruction, I try to combine the types of styles and incorporate kinesthetic activities for the students to visually see and have that hands on experience. I believe repetition helps children to learn and grasp instruction as well. Through repetition and correct delivery, the student will be able to remember and recall the facts they need in order to succeed in those areas of academics. Teaching is always a learning process. You learn new ways and ideas everyday. As a graduate of East Carolina University, I have continued to be persistent in every aspect of my teaching career. I have earned only a bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in child studies, which have helped me to devel

As a former corporate manager and full-time mother, I received a BA in Theatre Arts and a MSW in Clinical Social Work in hopes of working with children and young adults in low socio-economic environments. I relinquished my job as a clinical social worker, and began tutoring elemenatary-aged students in 2004. I became a full-time teacher in 2005, serving 1st grade, 4th grade, and exceptional studuents (ESE). I have excellent writing skills, creative as well as technical. As a full-time parent, I have hosted several exchange students from Japan, Switzerland, France, and Germany. In the past several years, I have tutored all subjects on the elementary level, as well as worked as a professional scorer for NCS Pearson, scoring essays for 7th grade and 11th grade assessments. I enjoy teaching children the fundamental aspects of any subject, and delight in witnessing the brightening of that c

Each student engages homework in a different way. For example, some with a lackadaisical approach, some with a sense of being overwhelmed, some that are missing fundamentals and some unable to self-check. The one thing all students have in common: the desire to learn is in their minds. It may be pushed aside, but all students feel the power of knowledge. I am very friendly and tolerant, yet straightforward. I am clear about responsibilities and expectations. I won't waste anyone's time, nor take a paycheck for accomplishing nothing. I can communicate in a simple way the circumstances of a situation and make insightful assessments on student's work. For the last nine years, except for one break to finish my college degree, I worked at the Boys & Girls Club of Erie County. My primary job was director of education, where most of my time was spent tutoring, teaching and helping with homew

I love teaching people of all ages. I believe any person is capable of learning if their education is made specific to their needs. Some people are auditory learners, some are visual learners and some are tactil learners. I believe learning should be entertaining and interesting, as well as informative.I am inventive, patient, enthusiastic and cooperative. I get along well with children, as well as with adults of all ages, races and socio-economic groups. I am an avid reader and would use my reading, writing and verbal skills to help any person overcome an educational obstacle. I graduated from the University of North Fl,Cum Laude. I am certified to teach K-5. I am qualified beyond that level because I supplemented my income in college by researching, outlining and writing papers for other students. I also worked part-time as a tutor at the college level. I have a 20 year old son who is

I have always been a tutor looking back. My friends were always asking for help with their homework. I enjoyed helping them. When their parents learned that I was a godo tutor, I found myself helping my friends' little brothers and sisters with their schoolwork. It made me feel goood inside--- stil does. I guess teaching is in my blood. I enjoyed substitute teaching the best as i give me a chance to teach a variety of topics and meet different people on a daily basis. I have classroom experience in English, History, general math, and Social Studies. My teaching style is predicated on the belief that children truly want to learn. I like to introduce the goal or goals for today. Ask a few questions regarding ysterdays assignment and see if the class will bridg the two by itself.

I believe that my instructional abilities combined with my solid analytical leadership, interpersonal skills, and work ethic would greatly benefit your educational program. I believe that education is the key to success for young adult students. As a teacher, I will aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions. I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities by discovering what truly inspires them, while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential. Through my past experiences in coaching and developing, the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of management and a style used successfully as a teacher.

For the past eight years I have run a small business from my home and have been a substitute teacher, grades K-12 in Duval Co. since 2003. I have enjoyed teaching and have often taught ESE students and totally mentally disabled students. These children are often the most rewarding to teach due to their higher need and receptiveness. Therefore, I am very interested in tutoring those that are in danger of being left behind if not for the extra help that comes from personal tutoring sessions. My teaching style centers around listening and observing the child as an individual to determine his or her needs and style of learning. Not everyone learns in the same manner, therefore in order for each child to meet his potential in the classroom, especially a child that struggles, a unique plan may have to be devised.
