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 students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching allows me to share this joy. 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

Students learn at different rates and are motivated to learn many different ways. You have to quickly identify their passion and then incorporate that passion in their education. All people young and old can reach their goals if you have patience and let them know you care about them and their future. I am very driven to achieve a high level of education. I have a Bachelors in Accounting and Masters in Business Administration. I am working to complete my law degree and have worked as a CFO and CAO in Fortune 1000 companies. I am technological savy and have been a CIO in Fortune 1000 companies as well. The only experience I have with students is working as a adjunct professor in Accounting at UNF. I can work with students in math,English,business and accounting. I also recently received my Law degree and passed the LSAT test.

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

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

My credentials include Spanish teaching at Florida State College at Jacksonville since 1997, Scala Language Consultants, and Sea Coast Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as English as second language at the ESL Institute.

I hold a BA degree, and as a Certified Test Administrator I have facilitated testing for state, national and vocational tests (Stafford, Iowa, TABE and GED). Having lived in the USA most of my life, I have very good appreciation and understanding of both, the Anglo and the Hispanic cultures. I believe that you need to learn a language with an expert.

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

My style is base on finding the indiviual need of the child and helping the child reach their potential. I would do this through counsultation with parents and teachers if it is possible.Through this hopefully the student will gain confidence in whatever problem areas he/she has.The tutoring session would be different than classroom setting. Not as formal but there would be expectations and priorities so that the sessions would be productive. After graduating from College, I entered the the field of social services as case manager. I employed for (12) twelfe years with serveral different companies working with cronically mentally ill adults. As a case manager my duties included, linking indiviuals to social and community services and monitoring their progress according indiviually designed service plans.I also worked as a mid manager supervising case managers.

I like to encourage people to pursue their potential. I hate busy-work, and try to give assignments that work on multiple levels; therefore, even if the student may not immediately see success in a trouble area, the student can be encouraged by their success in the stronger areas. I believe in tying subjects together through interdisciplinary studies. I use a method revolving around questioning and guidance, which challenges the student to be responsive, and verbally rationalize why they have come to a certain solution. This not only helps the student be engaged and active in the learning process, but also allows me to analyze the student’s thought processes. During my time in high school, I started going to math tutoring to work on my homework. There was one fantastic teacher, and many students. When I would finish my homework, I would help others. Later, in college, I passed math and

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 thoroughly enjoy teaching all ages, and because of my wide variety of experiences, I am able to keep the learning activities varied, relevant, and interesting. Working with so many ages and nationalities, I've become acutely aware of the many different styles of learning, and work hard to find methods that appeal to every learning style. I took the Montessori Method courses in my twenties, and was so fascinated by it I decided to get a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood. From there, I went to on to teach all elementary grades and subjects in both private and public schools. For a time, I taught English as a Second Language to both children and adults, and then moved into my favorite area, music! Throughout all these fields of interest, one constant remains: learning is what keeps life dynamic, no matter what our age might be!

Learning of any form comes from experience. I am willing as a tutor to help bring learning to a personal level for the student, making connections with their everyday lives and creating unique ways for the students to remember and retain the material being taught. I consider my approach to study to be that of patience, perseverance, and positivity. Students should be rewarded positively for grasping concepts that they are having difficulty with because too often in our schools small achievements are overlooked, and a few encouraging words can often make the difference between success and failure. If you give the student a reason to desire success, I believe they will find a way to make it possible. As a high school student, I spent time volunteering for a developmental learning center working with children who had mild to severe handicaps. While I found it to be a physically, as well as

As the parent of a college student with Asperger’s and several learning disabilities, I know firsthand that connecting with a teacher who is kind, creative, patient, and most of all, who believes in her students, can make a world of difference to someone who is struggling to learn. I am that teacher. I strive to understand my students’ individual learning styles, drawing upon Multiple Intelligence theory when appropriate. I have high expectations for my students and will not let them take the easy way out. I am also my students’ biggest cheerleader, celebrating every learning victory, big or small. I have yet to meet a child who cannot or does not want to learn; the challenge is finding the key that will unlock their door to success. I started tutoring students in Hebrew when I was fourteen years old, and continued as a teacher's assistant throughout high school. I loved teaching a

I keep an open mind that most children learn in different ways. I try to provide lots of different ways of learning the same subject. I have a background in Anthropology and have traveled extensively throughout the globe and feel that it is my duty to make my teaching style multicultural and to make sure that no one is falling through the cracks. I try to laugh and smile a lot and find that students are more able to open up to me when I do. I always try to lead by example and do everything that I expect my students to do. It is very important to have high expectations for the students and to let them know what those expectations are. I was enrolled in the Master's Program for Elementary Education at the University of Florida and volunteered over 300 hours in the public school system. I have only one year left before obtaining my advanced degree should I decide to return to school.
