Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jekyll Island, GA

Over the years (as undergrad and graduate), I have tutored middle school and elementary age students in various subjects. I have also been a resource for undergrad and graduate health science students while serving as a graduate assistant (public health master's program). I proctored exams and held tutoring and review sessions prior to testing. I have two master's degrees, three undergraduate degrees, and experience as a paramedic, nurse, and substitute teacher. I believe in completing an individual needs assessment and designing a study approach around that assessment. I believe in constant reinforcement and reassessment. I also believe it is useful to utilize as many and as varied forms of instruction as possible (written, audio-visual, demonstration, etc.) to solidify a concept. Promoting thorough understanding rather than route memory and recognition skills is paramount.

The method of teaching used will depend on the subject and student. As a general rule, I prefer method of explanation, demonstration, and drill. The person being tutored must have a desire to learn. This can be fostered in children by explaining how they will benefit from learning the material. I am a Systems Engineer with a BS in Business and a MS in Computer Science. Systems Engineering involves getting disparate systems, equipment, and/or people to work together to accomplish a goal. It requires broad knowledge of many subjects and the ability to communicate that knowledge, clearly and unambiguously, either orally or in writing, to others. I am a former naval officer with a current TS/SCI clearance. To maintain this clearance I must remain above reproach in all conduct, public and private.

I have experience with teaching having completed three semesters of internships through my undergraduate and graduate programs; I taught Kindergarten, First and Seventh grades. In said roles, I was given full control of the classroom by my mentoring supervisors. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and impacting young lives (most of these students came from low socio-economic backgrounds and were gravely in need of guidance). I generated creative lesson plans and taught according to state standards. I also successfully dealt with behavioral issues and worked closely with not only the students, but with the parents and fellow faculty. In college, I tutored in Biology and Health/Medicine classes for one year. Through my extensive coursework and research and practical application in the classroom, I found quite quickly that there are several different learning styles. It is important to create lesso

I have a passion for teaching and as such opened a tutoring service that I ran for four years. I hold a Bachelors of General Studies from Valdosta State University and will graduate with my Master of Business Administration in May 2010. I excel at tutoring in English, sociology, psychology, mathematics, science, literature, and social studies. I believe the greatest asset to learning for anyone at any age is learning "how" to learn. I like to use modern techniques and ideas to creatively teach a child or adult a new concept. I am patient and unique.

Everyone's teaching style is an accumulation of the teachers they have met. My favorite teachers were tough, they pushed me to do my best, and encouraged me to draft, edit, and to have high expectations for myself. Their goals were realistic, and relevant. As teacher, I want to give each student an advantage, over other students. I believe that writing and reading may be the most important thing a child can learn, but more importantly love and continue to do throughout their life. I am patient, flexible, and motivated. I strive to make the difference. My teaching experience began in high school, when I would review and edit my classmates essays. On several occasions, I also went through essays line by line. In addition, I taught swim lessons to preschool aged children, and helped coach crew to high school aged students. Throughout college, I continued to aid my peers with the

Throughout college I was a tutor with a Learning Center. I worked with children in grades K-12. At this center, we helped build reading and math skills individually and in groups. I was also a private tutor for a high school student. Together we improved her study skills and organization. I assisted her with writing assignments, projects, and daily homework. I also worked in the Camden County school system as a substitute teacher and secretary. At Mercer University, I earned my BA in Communications and Theater Arts, and an English minor. I also hold certifications through GACE (Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators) in Early Childhood Education and Middle Grades Language Arts. The most important element of achieving success in school is self confidence. The way I help build that in children is by being extremely positive, supportive, and full of praise. I observe their

Teaching, in general, has always been a passion of mine. I received my BA in Elementary Education in May of 2007. My internship experience was teaching Language Arts in a middle school in Chicago, IL. Upon moving to Fernandina Beach, I became a teacher for Catapult Learning in Jacksonville. During this time, I provided supplemental Reading/Math instruction to students in the first through sixth grades whose test scores were below grade level. I have also provided a six week tutoring service for the FCAT at Yulee Elementary. With my experience in teaching, I have realized that students are like snowflakes- all unique and they learn in different ways. I always pay attention to the different ways they learn and incorporate that into my lesson plans. As a tutor, I will discover the way your child learns to satisfy their academic needs. I am a firm believer that teaching is a career choice th

I have worked with a wide range of students: from Kindergarten to training adults in the workplace. I worked for UPS for over six years (Operations Management Specialist and Industrial Engineer). I left UPS to focus on my education and enter the field of education. I recently graduated with honors from the University of Illinois with a BA in English. I spent a semester in a K-8 grade school where I worked with Kindergarten-1st grade RtI (Response to Intervention)groups, 4th-5th grade (all subjects), and 6th-8th grade Language Arts/English. My Statement of Eligibility from the state of Florida allows me the opportunity to teach in the following areas: K-6th, 5th-9th English, and 9th-12th English. I believe that each child has the ability to succeed as long as they are given encouragement and the opportunity. It is my goal to give each child my personal best and to provide an environ

My teaching style is one of encouragement and positive reinforcement. I always conveyed the importance of good study habits and how vital it was to their success. I taught them that education is an ongoing process with failure as well as successes, but whatever the outcome, they must always put forth their best effort. My primary purpose in this diverse teaching style was to establish a positive rapport the students and be able to bring out their hidden potential. In my experience as a substitute teacher in the Irving Texas School District I gained a new passion for the struggle that children face everyday. To actually see first hand that no child is left behind was not only challenging but rewarding. During my two years of service I learned that it not only takes a commitment of time beyond measure but also a great responsibility of the heart to continue until you make a difference.

Throughout my teaching, I have adapted the classroom to complement and enrich each student’s learning style, a challenge I thoroughly enjoy. I believe in considering the needs of the whole child, so life lessons can become tools and participation in the journey of learning becomes key towards a measureable outcome of success. I have always attempted to connect with students in a unique and significant way, challenging them to them to expand and believe in their capabilities. With nurturing support children will strive for their potential, and if I can make it fun along the way, then everyone enjoys themselves, all the while important learning and growth has taken place. My B.S. in Elementary Education has provided twenty-five years of teaching in a wide range of experiences. I have taught K3-8 grade students, including those considered “at-risk” due to emotional and behavioral diffi

Everyone is special and unique in how they learn and incorporate new information. I like to get to know people to understand how they can learn on their skill level. Patience and understanding is key when working with students and young people because everyone is different and special. I have experience in working with children and young people in my missions and humanitarian work. I have lead teams of teenagers and worked with children in local schools, orphanages, and community organizations. I also worked at a daycare during my internship in 2004.

Encouraging youth and children to reach for their full potential is my life passion. I am a profoundly patient individual with a gift of encouragement. I possess a fervent belief in each person's extreme worth. My belief drives me to draw out the abilities and gifts I recognize in others, especially young people. While I am passionate and enthusiastic, I am also self controlled and gentle in my teaching approach as it is called for. My life mission is to benefit every person I have an opportunity to spend time with. I am a passionate mentor of youth and children in a church setting.

The teaching profession is considered to be a profession of continuous growth and reflective practices. When it comes to my own professional growth and development, I consider myself to be a lifelong learner. Since the beginning of my teaching career eight years ago, I have participated in numerous workshops, classes, and enlightening experiences; immersing myself in various strategies and techniques to bring back to the classroom. Such workshops include: CRISS training, ESE training, ESOL, Project Wild, Inclusion, Gifted Learners, KAGAN, FUSE, TIDES and Comprehensive Science III. One of my quests as a lifelong learner is to learn and apply various methods to help all children succeed. Before I began my teaching career, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education. I spent an entire semester working on an Action Research project. The focus of this investigation wa
