More About This Tutor...

Worked in ECE for 2 years, worked at Elementary School for 2 years covering grades Pre-K - 5 for teachers as they attended the CARE meetings. I have two degrees: B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies, and an A.A. in Psychology, which has enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of reading comprehension and writing skills. I have also gained a considerable amount of knowledge in math.
I have a unique way with children, and I love children. Each child has a different way of learning, and as a teacher I recognize those ways and work with each child to help them achieve the highest level possible in education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of difference in any child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now t ... read more

As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education. I have earned a BS and MS in Specific Learning Disabilities, Varying Exceptionalities, and English Speakers of Other Languages.

I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment.

Students learn though d ... read more

First, I have a genuine passion to inspire children to reach their full learning potential. Secondly, I would like to lead by example, continuing my own desire to be a life learner and thereby, encouraging our students to also feel the zest for knowledge. I believe knowledge promotes ones self-esteem and in return fosters higher growth and development. I am a calm, creative, confident teacher who encourages questions, engages in active listening and possesses a flexible teaching style that meets the needs of the individual. Lastly, I would like to be a positive and memorable influence on a young person’s quest for learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach. I presently teach at a montessori school for deaf children. I truly enjoy working everyday with my students. I have an innate ability to teach. I take pride in providing individualized education to all of my students. I guide them with respect and dignity to allow them to realize their potential. Being positive and having the right attitude can bring down many barriers that may block one from growing and learning and I make sure that each one of my students can learn the power of this.
I have a varied academic background. I graduated from an interpreting training program in 1998 and worked as an educational interpreter for several years. I then went back to college to get my degree in education.

I believe that all children can learn but they don’t all learn in the same way. It is important to maintain structure but in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to learning. I ascertain that children can make their own connections to what they are studying and then claim success for their learning. I use a variety of resources to help a child grasp understanding such as music, manipulatives, books, and technology. Through direct instruction of needed skills and strategies, guiding their practice, and individual practice, I scaffold children’s learning.
I am fluent in American Sign Language and have served as an interpreter mainly in religious settings. I taught at the preschool level for 17 years before completing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education K-6 with ESOL Endorsement from the University of South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in a south-county school which ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a teenager, I became an Eagle Scout and was a peer mentor (Big Bro./Big Sis.). I am an Earlham College graduate with a BA in Japanese Studies. After graduation I went on a study-abroad program to Japan and taught English to junior high students, and tutored elementary students in Japanese upon returning to the U.S. I was a counselor at a camp for teenage boys with behavior issues where I provided therapeutic action and wrote daily individualized reports. I have assisted in two classrooms and instructed P.E. at a Montessori school. I lead a classroom of lower elementary students (6-9 yo). I have extensive experience tutoring, teaching, and managing individual and groups of children.
Each child is unique and learns in different ways. By being an active participant, children are able to 'construct' their education more impressionistically, with the understanding that auditory an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really love working with all children and students. I have experience working with children aged 1 years old up to the college years. I have always been a lover of education and know the knowledge equals power. I believe that education requires hardwork but can also be very rewarding and fun, which is why I am very animated in my teaching. This also helps keep children interested and I learned this strategy working with young children, as well as working with children who went to school during their summer vacation. I believe that children can be the best that they can be with the proper encouragement and tools to do so.

A Little Bit About Me...

I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of your student and then apply my creative mind to finding ways to present information. Positive reinforcement has given me the best success with students through the years. I believe there are no stupid questions and assess continually until I know that a concept has been grasped. Celebrations of milestones and victories are a large part of what I do as I believe self-esteem and failure can be the biggest obstacle a student must overcome.
As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. ... read more
