My comments on tutoring Latin : For a six month period I worked in tandem with a highly proficient Latin instructor who had 14 students achieve Magna Cum Laude in Latin one year. As my language choice in high school, my studies in Latin have assisted in my achieving superior skills in English usage and expression and facilitated my learning French and Spanish. On my first visit to Italy, I found that I was able to comprehend a good part of Italian conversation.

For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna, Austria for a period of 2 years and have offered ESOL instruction as a volunteer teacher at the Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College and with the Hernando County branches of H.E.A.R.T. and R.S.V.P. I have given prvate English language lessons to individuals from Nepal, Brazil and Puerto Rico. From December 2011 through April 2012 I was employed by "A Quantum Leap" as aa tutor under the SES program. While in the military, I volunteered to instruct Korean Air Force officers in correct ... read more

"Half of knowledge is knowing where to find it."

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.
Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

My comments on tutoring Latin : Taught and tutored Latin I and II for 10-plus years

After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD).
I believe that all students can and will achieve ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based on the premise that students want to learn and succeed. At times they are blocked in that endeavor by the level of difficulty, the complexities of a lesson or personal obstacles. It's my job as a tutor to find out what that hindrance is and help the student overcome it. I vary my teaching style based on the needs of the student.
I'm a journalist by trade. My love of writing began at an early age. A bachelor's degree in Theater immersed me in the works of Wiliam Shakespeare and from there I became fascinated with history and living history at that. I then obtained a Master's degree in Journalism to expand my skill set in both the English and Spanish languages. I have extensive experience working with bilingual students of all ages in the subjects of English-grammar,composition, literature. Spanish-grammar, conversational. History- World, Latin, American.

While we obtain knowledge in different methods, the role of a successful educator is to ascertain that method and then nourish it. People want to demonstrate success and independence. Learning is achieved in a safe setting with a committment to growth. Teaching is successful through kindness, encouragement, humility and discipline. While some shutter at the word discipline, discipline is not scolding or punishing as it can often be sensationalized. Discipline derives from the Latin word discipuli meaning one who is taught, lead or mentored- a student. It would be my obligation as a tutor to lead an individual to their greatest capacity.
With a great passion for knowledge my personal quest was to achieve academic success. I earned my BA degree 2 minors in 3 1/2 years, and a 3 years masters program in 2 years,summa cum laude, with a flawless 4.0 grade point average. Over the ye ... read more

I believe education should be individualized for each student. Instruction should be flexible and creative in order to adapt to a student’s learning style, speed, and personality. Additionally, students need to learn not just enough facts to pass a test, but they need to learn think critically and to problem solve. This means teaching not just the “what” and the “how” of a subject, but the most important and most frequently skipped “why.” Through patience, constructivist techniques that a allow a student to create their own deep understanding, and a good dose of humor, I have effectively taught a wide range of students, including students for whom English is their second language, students with learning disabilities, and gifted students.
I began my teaching career teaching free SAT preparation courses for students at schools in low socio-economic areas. This exhilarating and ful ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a foreign language graduate from USF I have achieved excellent credentialities from my former professor to obtain a post of assistantship at the same institution to teach undergraduate French level 1&2 for a period of two years. Based on my supervisor's comment I have accomplished outstanding experiences through the classroom management.I was highly involved and motivated to collaborate with the department administrators to plan and improve the foreign language program while working hard to earn my MA degree.
I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firml ... read more

The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encouragement when tutoring.
I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned ... read more

My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessment. As a researcher investigating social learning theory, I have become equipped with the skills of noticing and reflecting on the behavioral "cues" of learning to further guide my students/guests to a higher ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) through engaging learning moments. I have worked with children as young as two and frequently facilitate the learning of older adult guests on matters of scientific principles and discovery.
My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential whic ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel that I am an empathetic teacher yet I hold my students to high standards of accomplishment. I try to bring a variety of materials to the lesson that help the student gain insight into the objective of the lesson. I try to make the lesson challenging, interesting and fun. Any good teacher will try to discover the strengths and weaknesses of their students and play to their strengths while remedying their weaknesses. Students need to discover the world but they also need to understand the perspectives of society and its cultures and traditions. Students also need to learn how to learn so that as adults they can continue to progress and advance. I think successful students become life-long learners.
When I discovered how much I enjoy teaching I prepared myself to launch a second career. I earned a second degree and have almost completed my M.A. in History at USF. along the way, ... read more

I believe that each child's talents and abilities need to be nurtured through creative and constructive curriculum and delivery, including acknowledging the importance of integrating playtime with instruction. I have worked in many educational environments - public and private schools; juvenile detention facilities and home school cooperatives - each place offering it's own rules and protocol for developing and nurturing a child. One approach that I used in ALL these facilities yielded the best results for both child and educator (me!) and that was simply to follow this rule: provide trust and mutual respect, and give enough room for students to learn to make real, responsible choices in pursuing their true interests.
I am a creative educator and development professional with over 15 years teaching, curriculum development and program implementation experience spanning several count ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduate on May 6 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature. As a participant in the English Honors program and winner of the Outstanding Honors Student Scholarship in 2006, I have extensive training in reading and writing about literature. In addition to my academic studies, I have worked since early last year for the Princeton Review, a leading test-preparation company, as an SAT teacher and tutor. I lead classes with 10-12 students and do private tutoring in SAT math, reading, and writing.
High-schoolers are my favorite students because, at 21, I am young enough both to garner respect and to build rapport with them. While accelerated students are often a pleasure, I enjoy working with slower students because their little breakthroughs are eternally satisfying. In the classroom, I like to stay casual but still maintain an environme ... read more
