From my experience with my own education and in tutoring others, I realize that there is no such thing and an ignorant child. Rather, a successful student is a hard worker who often times needs a little guidance and patience. Because I am an easy-going and flexible person, I am able to connect to the child in fun and interesting ways. I try to use the same teaching techniques that helped me like flash cards, games, and better study skills. Frequently, I find that slowing down the curriculum and focusing on problem areas allow students to successfully grasp the subject matter. Because I was fortunate enough to receive an education, I always felt compelled to give back to the community in the same way. From my years at Summerbridge (now Breakthrough Miami), I tutored elementary and middle school students in math, literature, English, science, and history. Afterwards, attending a prest

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 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 thoroughly enjoy teaching and working with children in general. I have worked with children from various backgrounds and feel that I generally have a great rapport with all types of children, as well as with their parents. I believe in making learning fun and exciting, as well as using various teaching methods to meet the needs of each individual student. I believe that all children are capable of learning, from the profoundly mentally handicapped to the gifted; it is just a matter of learning how to reach and connect with each child. After graduating with a Master of Education from The University of Florida in 1994 I began teaching full-time at the elementary level. From 1994-2000 I taught 3rd grade, as well as 2nd-5th grade gifted students in both private and public school settings. After taking a break from teaching while I started a family of my own I returned to the education

My Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History with a minor in Economics only begins to suggest my varied interests and accomplishments. I have always valued a well-rounded education and my teaching experiences allow me to share that belief with students. In college, I refined my writing and analytical skills in order to complete an Honors Thesis on the future of the museum industry. To complete my minor concentration in Economics, I successfully passed several upper-level mathematics courses with applications in general finance, marketing, and statistics. Most recently I have taught students in grades K-6, executing lessons in Art as well as differentiated instruction in math, reading, and science. When I am working with students, I bring a high energy level and an equal measure of patience. I love showing children how what they are studying today will help them in the future. Every ch

There is no greater joy than to connect a child to a new concept or skill and see them develop confidence in their ability to learn. I love working one on one and finding out what the student is interested in or perhaps struggling with and help them build skills. I am patient, compassionate, and firmly believe that with time and direction that each student can find their way to a better understanding of new concepts. With my creative background and appreciation for popular culture, I have been able to connect with children of all ages and backgrounds in a positive way. Working with children is my passion. With my combined undergrad degree in art and my masters in library science, I have had a fantastic experience working with children as a mentor, a long term substitute media specialist assignment, a long term substitute art teaching assignment and as a youth service librarian.

Patience is, without a doubt, my biggest virtue. Taking art lessons can be intimidating, especially for an unsure student. With my experience, I have been able to identify the measures to instruct my students while keeping them comfortable in a positive environment. My goal for every lesson is to have my students leave confident and with a sense of understanding and resolution. Having grown up with tremendous support, I have been able to pursue my career in art and art education with focus and determination. After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Painting from the University of Florida, I found my way into the Duval County Public School System. Though my position was surplussed only two years later, I was able the witness the great need for an art outlet in children. I focused my attention towards the city parks and recreation system, where I have been teaching home school, after

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 a patient and caring individual that loves to teach and work with all different kinds of children and on different levels. Children are able to learn anything, but you as the teacher just have to figure out which method works for the individual child. Each and every child learns at a different pace and with different methods.I want to give every opprotunity to help children understand what they do not know and whatever way helps them with that, is the method I will try. I am a person that will not leave a child behind and will do everything in my power to help them along in their education. I graduated high school and college in National Honors Society. My main focus is to major in Elementary Education and minor in English.I have had a lot of experience in writing research papers and am knowledgeable with grammar and punctuation.

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 develop and become the teacher that I am now. During the last four years of my college career, I have taught in a public school and have tutored children to help them succeed in their academics. 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 s

I like to see what works for each person since everyone has their own way of learning. Then, I use whatever works best for them. Making students comfortable is important since they're more open to learn in that environment. As I was taking college courses, I also taught swimming lessons, after earning the ARC Lifeguard and WSI certificates. I also tutored grade school children during college in basic subjects. In college I also tutored other college students in basic English, as my major was communication and I have a fairly strong command of English. I also have experience in the newspaper industry and thoroughly enjoy helping people. I completed my BA in 2002.

I enjoy working with children. There are several assessment tools that I use in order to see where I would need to begin with any child. One of my favorite forms of assessment is Great Leaps.I have used this program and have seen growth in all subjects with students. Some students who were reading below grade level are now functioning with confidence on grade level.We all are like candles someone sparked our fire and now look how bright our lights our shinning.I would love to be that spark for your child. I come to you with thirteen years of teaching experience. I am the mother of three. I was raised and attended college right here in Jacksonville, Fl. I graduated from Edward Waters College in 1993.It is my vision and mission to give a student confidence and compassion in reading, writing, and history.All children can benefit!

I utilize a very structured teaching style that usually utilizes a lot of examples and visual aides. It also takes getting to know your student and what they best respond to. I'm a very no nonsense kind of teacher and do not allow my students to veer off track in the middle of sessions. I do believe that every individual child requires different methods to best absorb the topic which they're trying to understand. I do have strong skills in finding what works best for each child. I have an affinity working with chldren. I was as a social worker/court worker through the Department of Children and Families, a teacher at a school in Mims, FL for ESE kids for about a year and a half. This was from 200-2001.I worked as a therapeutic mentor for Devereux of Florida and also teaching social skills for the Department of Juvenile Justice/Board of Education for Volusia Co. Florida.
