More About This Tutor...

Tutoring is not my part-time job, it is a full time endeavor. I tutor in many subjects including Elementary, Middle and High School curriculums. I tutor all ages. By working with my students, their parents and teachers, we formulate a plan and goals for our sessions. Sometimes I am a tutor for a test, or a coach for a project or a study skills adviser. I have experience working with students with ADHD and those with specific learning issues and IEP's.

My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams.

I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug.
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 t ... read more

Upon enrolling my children in school, I decided to be an active part of their education. So, I assisted their teachers with everything I could. Eventually, I became a trusted part of the school system (an honorary teacher, so to speak). They began giving me more responsibilities, concerning the children of the school. I tutored hundreds of students to increase their FCAT results, single-handedly; I corrected documents, daily; I worked on setting up the computers for the teachers and students, and I trained both to use them. I even learned magic, so that I could help teach the students their studies, in a fun and exciting way. Previously, I opened my own computer shop, and thus, I had a tremendous advantage of all sorts of software, and Internet knowledge, that would help educate the students. Since I had an ADHD student at home (my son,) I was quite active with the ESE program. I helped ... read more

Holding a BA in English Education, I graduated valedictorian from my college. During my formal years of education, I worked as a tutor for the Manchester, N.H. School District. After graduation, I obtained seventh-grade teaching position. After three years, I obtained an English teaching position in an academy, where I taught the following courses for seven years: British Literature, Expository Writing, Persuasive Writing, and American Literature. Teaching adult education as well, I taught Greek Mythology, Creative Writing, and Short Story. Recently, I tutored SAT strategies to college-bound students. I love teaching, reading, history, and I am a published poet and playwright.
Teachers,as well as students, need to take responsibility for their actions. I have always given 100 percent to my students, and I expect students to give their all in return. I understand all too well, howe ... read more

My teaching style is serious, but fun. I want students to know that I care about their success and believe they are capable of doing great things. I am a very caring, very patient teacher. I like to build motivation in my students, as well as a desire to become a life-long learner. I teach many learning strategies, but emphasize students to learn how to activate these strategies at the right time.
I am very passionate about my profession and take it seriously, but still make learning fun. I taught two years of Intensive Reading and worked with students who scored a level 1 on Reading FCAT. My students made remarkable gains on their scores, many earned a grade-level score in Reading on the next test. I have also taught elementary and high school students as a tutor and test prep coach. I enjoy working with students of all ages and helping them reach their goals and succeed.

As a person with a Bachelors degree and masters, I feel as though I am fully qualified to teach in numerous areas. I always excelled in subjects in high school, undergraduate courses and my master's level classes.
Teaching to me comes quite easy. I have a great way of making sure the student fully understands all concepts and can apply them to any question or problem that the student may see in the future. I will adjust my learning techniques to fit the student to ensure the student is learning at an optimal level.

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught public school in Florida from K-12 for the last 16 years. I taught for more than 10 years in the private school. I am still teaching part-time at a private company. My passion for teaching and the diverse subjects and levels of students that I have taught are two of my great assets that can be very useful in the tutoring profession. I teach to help my student reach his or her highest potential.
Depending on the subject I use a highly academic and focussed style of teaching. If it is communication like English, Writing and Journalism , I use a lot of teacher-generated materials. I am very flexible and would like to meet the needs of a particular student by administering some kind of a skill inventory survey to identify his or her style of learning. An inventory of his interests and skills will also be a good tool for me to assess the student's strength ... read more

I have been an educator for 13 years. I was a special education teacher for 11 years and then I was an elementary guidance counselor for 2 years. I spent 5 years teaching high special education classes which included teaching many differnt subject areas. I have had a vast range of experience in all subject areas: English, math, history, and science. I was an inclusion teacher for 4 years in 7th and 8th grade classes. Also, I taught a learning strategies class for 2 years. Since I was an inclusion teacher for 4 years I have worked with 12 different teachers. I had to learn how to get along with different personalities, work around different teaching and learning styles of my students and teachers. Each year I was responsible for keeping my 25+ students passing all core subject areas and making sure they were behaving appropriately. In addition, I was a hospital homebound teacher for year ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati. However, I completed a Ph.D. in Education at the University of Florida in 1990. I was a full-time special needs teacher at Oak Park School in Sarasota, Florida from 1998 until 2006. I was responsible for teaching elementary, middle school, and high school grade levels. It was a very rewarding job and gave me experience in many different areas in education. Since retiring from Oak Park I have spent a considerable amount of time tutoring in several different areas, including English, history, and math.
I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the past five years I have been building experience in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to upper high school. My experience with these learning environments has helped me an undergraduate certificate in k-12 education. I have put special focus on language development and language learning skills. These skills translate to teaching literacy, writing skills, reading comprehension skills, English language development, and foreign language learning. My interest in language development and education lead me to receive a B.A in Spanish.
One of my favorite aspects of teaching is finding ways to integrate creativity into the learning process. I believe an active and animated learning environment is fun for both the student and tutor- there's no reason to stick to just the basics when generating lessons. Learning new concepts is a great way for students to explore their interests ... read more

It is my experience that students do better in smaller groups with more individual attention, which in turn helps me to get a better understanding of how to move forward. I've started at the phonics level in this regard, where patience and understanding is key. I like to maintain a relaxed teaching environment, though I like to keep things moving along.
In regards to experience, I'd taught in a middle school as a Reading Specialist, as a member of the Americorps national service program. During my term, I'd implemented a measurable reading workshop and organized two school-wide literacy events, recruiting over twenty local media personalities to guest read. I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and I have vast experience in document authorship, including both literary and technical compositions.

Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children. I have been working with the YMCA for close to three years. I graduated from Manatee Community College with my Associate’s degree in May of 2009. I am currently attending the University of South Florida in Sarasota to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I have also been a tutor for various English Language Learners over the past two years. This is truly my passion, and I am considering getting my master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages after I get my bachelor’s degree.
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of education. I believe that education is the key to our freedom in life. I hope to teach this philosophy to my students. As a teacher, ... read more

My teaching style is associative. I believe in visual cues as well as personal associations/visualization in order to learn and remember material. I possess excellent study habits that I believe I could convey/transfer to students. I find teaching children to be very rewarding. I am very patient and respectful of the student as well as a great listener. I understand the importance of giving the children the right tools of knowledge to work with so that they may learn and grow in their experiences. I strive to uphold the standards of excellence in teaching and am always looking to grow and learn in my experiences.
