I have worked in the public school system since 1996 in the area of teaching substance abuse and violence prevention. In 2002 I became the director of after-school programming under a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant in the Polk County Schools. I organized all aspects of after-school tutoring programs for 14 schools, elementary through high school. Right now I am substitute teaching in the Duval County school system. I love teaching children in creative ways. I recognize that all children (and adults) learn differently and therefore it is important to me to design ways for children to learn in their own way. That's why we had such successful after-school programming while I was the director. We designed a variety of classes so children could excel in their own way. I strive to provide quality services to children so they can be successful in school.

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 hold dual Masters degrees in Architecture and Construction and I have a passion for teaching. While earning my masters degree in construction I was a teachers assistant for construction courses and enjoyed teaching and helping over sixty students learn the material. While I was getting my first degree, which was in architecture, I worked at a music school and taught classes to children ages 4 and up. Currently I have been mentoring a middle school child for two years and I help her with math, spanish, language arts and social studies and she is doing great in her classes. I also currently tutor a college student in applied accounting and he is also getting better every day. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children are smart and can learn they just need someone who has the patience and ability to teach them as I do. I like it when children discover knowled

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 have earned my Bachelors of Science degree in mathematics, which has allowed me to ascertain advanced knowledge in all aspects of mathematics.

My style of teaching is interactive learning. As much as possible I provide ”hands on” experience with Cuisenaire rods and lock blocks for math as well as grammar cards to teach simple parts of speech and poker chips to teach place value and spelling. I use game formats such as "word Bingo" and "Jeopardy" to teach new content or to reinforce concepts already learned. I give words of praise, stickers, and prizes for work well done and try to encourage each child to reach his or her greatest potential. I break down complex tasks into simple steps to facilitate better learning. I try to make learning fun and to use much positive reinforcement. Through my educational and teaching experiences I have gained many skills which I can bring to a tutorial setting.

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 learning exercises can be challenging and fun, and not dull and boring. I plan to take what the child is interested in and apply it to their learning. 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 utili

I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves. Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training.

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

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 auditory learners. I also believe that children respond best to adults who have taken the time to connect with and show respect for them. And, most importantly, I believe learning should be enjoyable. As both a tutor and a parent, I take a firm, but fun approach to education. 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 u

My degree program emphasized the exegesis and hermeunitics of literary texts found in the Bible. As a result, my ability to communicate sound principles associated with understanding an author's intended meaning has been greatly enhanced. For certification in the field of secondary English, I completed a number of literature and writing courses after my undergraduate degree program. I have been teaching and tutoring secondary students in reading, writing, and speaking for the past three years. I have worked as a professional educator in both private and public schools. In my opinion, there is nothing that can replace the elements of positive regard and genuine concern for a student's welfare in developing a trusting relationship that engenders educational success. Also, I've found that the use of humor is helpful in developing a positive relationship with the individual learner. We

I want children to know that learning is a lifelong experience and that it can be fun! Learning is a process of building blocks, and it is vital for a teacher to find interests and skills upon which to build. Children need to develop learning techniques that work for them, and it is imperative for a teacher to guide them. Children need self-esteem and confidence to be all they can be, whether it is academically or more. Teachers can either be builders or destroyers in this process. I want to be a builder! Nothing excites me more than a child who discovers his/her own ability and soars! As an educator and administrator with over 30 years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with students in grades 1-10, teaching many modalities.
