A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.

More About This Tutor...

I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.
I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students.

Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the related fields of accounting, computers, and engineering). My college education at Purdue University was interrupted due to financial reasons, but I returned to Lake-Sumter Community College at night while working full time and earned an AA degree. I know how important education is! I believe I am a natural teacher when it comes to mathematics and related fields - I helped my fellow students in high school during study halls, tutored through the National Honor Society, was my son’s private tutor, and assist my co-workers with their accounting and computer skills.
I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to v ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Governor's State University in December 1992 with a GPA of 3.9 on a 4.0 scale. My teaching certificate includes K-9 with a concentration in Junior High Math. I have worked with children with special needs, substituted at all grade levels, and instructed students in math at the Junior High level. I became a math coach for grades 7-8 math teams, initiated a Peer Mediation Group, started a Consumer Math class, and supervised a student teacher. I am presently working with Pre-school age children at my church.
I enjoy helping students to get involved in their studies by using hands on manipulatives, games, and real life situations. I believe the role of the teacher is to be a facilitator for her students. She needs to support, promote, recruit, encourage, model, and explain. My goals are to create an environment co ... read more

I have been teaching for over 20 years, both in the traditional classroom and online. My Bachelor’s Degree is in Physics and Math, and my Master’s Degree is in Physics Education. I have taught Physical Science, Physics, Conceptual Physics, Physics Honors and AP Physics as well as Earth Space Science, Algebra, Consumer Math, and Geometry.

My teaching style has always been to treat each child the way I would want my own children to be treated. I teach with respect, honesty, humor and patience.

More About This Tutor...

I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.
As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.

My teacher style is to first identify the specific area the student is struggling with. I help the students develop skills to better tackle the area. I believe in presenting the material in several different ways until the student understands it. I work hard to make learning a positive, fun and encouraging experience.
I am currently a School Psychologist for the school system. My job is to help identify students who have learning problems and develop interventions to target these problem areas. Since I have summers off, I usually work as a teacher/tutor. I absolutely love working with children on a one-to-one basis. I have experience working with students in Elementary School through College.

The areas of tutoring for me are reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science for grades K-5.

It truly does take a village to raise a child as the saying goes. I have been able to make many positive differences in many childrens lives by tutoring, volulnteering and working with them. I am able to teach in a variety of ways, which as most people know, everyone learns differently. Some people are visual learners, meaning they learn better through the written word. While others are auditory (listening) or kinesthetic (learn by doing). I believe that I can provide the best education possible by teaching in a variety of ways while making it fun.
I have a MA in Psychology from Concordia University. My BS in Human Development & Family Studies with a minor in Psychology is from Penn State University. I am currently taking Medical Coding and Billing classes on-line. I have over 15 years experience working with children in all settings (mental health, teaching, tutoring, volunte ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the rest of their lives. I treat each student with patience, respect and kindness. I believe specific praise will help students accomplish their goals and conquer their fears. Together we can make a difference.

I believe all children are capable of learning, if you can find something that excites and interests them. I am patient with my students and believe that teachers are there to help each child to find his or her own learning style and potential. As a teacher, I am there to guide each student and find out what works for them as an individual, then go from there to build upon that knowledge. It is important to challenge each student to be the best he or she can be.
I was an elementary school teacher for 11 years. I taught second and third grades. I also worked part time teaching reading and FCAT skills to elementary students from third to fifth grades. During the time I was teaching I also tutored students in other classes in math and reading.
