My comments on tutoring Chess : I know the basic moves and strategies.

I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, reading, and math.
My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment.

"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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My classroom teaching experience includes teaching math (2nd grade through Algebra II) and science (2nd grade through community college); assigning and evaluating core academic lessons from Kindergarten through High School in both public and private homeschool programs. In addition, I have tutored numerous public school children in math and science. I feel I am uniquely qualified for tutoring due to my extensive experience serving independent study (i.e., homeschooled) students. For six years, I have facilitated the education of hundreds of students through the assignment and evaluation of coursework in all subject areas and all grade levels. I have expertise in curriculum options and creating assignments that match the students individualized educational goals, as well as meeting district guidelines
I am firmly committed to education and strive to make learning an enjoyable ... read more

Being a business student required many hours of research and writing. As I went further and further into my major it became increasingly important that my information was both current and accurate. This made me focus on being able to find, translate, and relate multiple pieces of information into a context that was understandable to both students and faculty. This gave me experience in speaking and writing to both those who knew a specific subject extensively, and those being introduced to a subject for the first time in a way that they could be understandable to all. I have worked in multiple group setting as well as one on one where I was able to translate ideas into words or writing that made a picture more complete or understandable.
I love teaching all age groups of children. I know that every child is capable of not only learning a subject, but being successful at understandi ... read more

Teaching and learning means student and teacher have a relationship with each other. I can show a student their strengths and allow weaknesses to surface during the learning process. Without condemnation, a student will excel. I love working with students of all ages because when that lightbulb goes off no matter the age, we all benefit, and this is the greatest thing~~
As a parent of 4 and an educator in Pasco County, I have learned that a student will develop according to expectation and ability. Assessing abilities will allow for appropriate expectations. Educating with excellence to all learners shows compassion, skill and patience. Working with both elementary and high school students has allowed me to understand the learning process for a diversity of learners at varying stages of development.

I believe that the easiest way for a child to learn is whatever method is easiest for that child. Not all students learn the same way. A great teacher takes the time to understand, through evaluation and listening, which teaching method each student needs for maximum success. I can see the potential in all children and strive to help them to achieve it. One great teacher can make a difference in a child's world. I want to be that teacher.
Over the course of my studies in Mechanical Engineering I learned the value of perseverance. My classes were extrememly difficult, but I did not give up. I had numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve my degree, but I finally did so in May of this year. Knowing that I have a B.S.M.E. and I passed my E.I.T. on the first try gives me a lot of pride in my work. Throughout my years in college and since I have graduated I have tutore ... read more

There is nothing better then watching "the light go on." I enjoy having fun with the students - physics problems, for example, can provide numerous opportunities for humour and enjoyment. I also like to provide practical examples of where this knowledge can be applied.
I have earned a BS (B.Sc. in Canada) in Engineering, which gave me significant insights into Math and the Physical Sciences. Between 1984 and 1989, I had significant tutoring experience in Edmonton, Alberta and Calgary, Alberta in Physics, Mathematics (all levels up to 12th grade), chemistry and French. I developed numerous tests and study aids, and was often called upon for numerous assignments, especially when others in the organization did not perform well. I passed a four part, three hour exam in French, given by the Government of Quebec, to become a Professional Engineer in Quebec. I have also been heavily invol ... read more

My teaching style varies depending on who I am teaching and what I am teaching. The consistent skills I use in teaching are getting people to develop and use different skills, particularly learning material and being able to apply it to life, ensuring people, and learning analytical (problem solving) skills. My goals include not only teaching material and skills that will help students, but truly making a profound difference in their lives.

I really love teaching. I also think that anybody can grasp any concept in any subject as long as they are subject to a good teacher that knows how to get down to the student's level. This helps the teacher to realize that the student doesn't know everything that the teacher knows, and therefore, has to realize that he has to break down the material in simple, approachable sections so that the average student can comprehend it easily.

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach is adapted to the needs of the student. People learn in many different ways. I encourage the student to communicate freely with me. A relaxed and comfortable student will assimilate information readily and I will be able to communicate effectively. My goal is to equip a student with the confidence and ability to approach any subject. The common regurgitation of memorized information has little bearing on the applicable understanding of the subject.
