Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jasper, FL

Over the last 3 years, I have focused on delivering education to the Early Head Start Program in Alachua County. Now, I serve my children as an Early Head Start teacher with the Suwannee Valley 4C’s in Lake City, FL. Here’s what I can offer: - I am certified in Early Childhood Education; - I am certified as a Child Development Associate for the State of Florida; - I am certified as a National Child Development Associate by the Council for Professional Recognition; and, - I am returning to school to complete my degree in psychology/sociology. I believe in developing the early learning skills and experiences critical for a child’s future success in school. Through purposeful play as well as explicit instruction, I provide these eager learners with a strong foundation in early literacy, language, math, and science skills while encouraging personal and social development.

Ever since I was little I loved helping other people with school. I spent my summer with my aunt teaching English to Spanish speaking natives and my cousins. Even though I can teach well with large groups I have always felt a child learns best one-on-one. It eliminates competition and helps the child develop confidence in himself and the desire to learn. I like to find the area where a child is struggling and come up with a creative fun way that allows them to learn but also the encourages them to continue working on their own when I am not there. I also believe that it is important to involve the family in order to help the child grow. Whether it is working with them or just encouraging their progress. A good solid understanding of knowledge acquired is the foundation to success in the future. My last semester at FSU I internship with 1st grade students. I assisted students with area

My greatest teaching philosophy (though I cannot claim it to be original), is "Can't never could!" This is such an important concept, for students as well as their teachers and tutors. Without belief in the student on the part of the teacher or tutor, I feel that a student is more likely to fail. I believe in optimistic approaches and positive reinforcement in the teaching process. This tremendously helps a student succeed. I understand that it is not always possible for a student to gain understanding of a concept in one sitting. Every child should be given opportunities for expansion and growth. I will help every child I work with in every way I can towards their goals. I am currently attending ITT-Technical Institute in Jacksonville, Florida for an A.S. in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. I currently have 72 completed credit hours. My college grade point average is currently 3

I have worked in both General Education and ESE education. I speak spanish fluently and french, semifluently. I also have some background in American Sign Language. I have also worked with the emotionally disturbed child. I use whatever works best for the child and can hold their attention span. It depends largely on the child's age, interests, and whether or not there are any learning, or any other disabilities. All children are capable of learning and enjoying to learn. I believe all children, whether normal developing or special needs deserves the same experiences, just delivered in different ways.
