Florida Certified Educator for Elementary to High School

I have two decades of experience in education. My first 10 years were spent in adult education training adults to work in various organizations in the business world. My last 10 years have been spent in public education classrooms working as a teacher for elementary, middle, and high school students. I have taught core content courses at each level. Therefore, I understand how each grade level builds upon the teaching and learning of the previous grade level.
I have a collaborative style of teaching. My ultimate goal is to get students to think, regardless of their age. With younger students, I tend to be much more directive so that we accomplish intended learning. With middle and high school students, I ask "Why" and "How do you know" quite often so that they learn to provide evidence for their thinking. Getting the RIGHT answer isn't the goal -- understanding and developi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I made sure the basics are solid first. I feel that anatomy and clear understanding of the body and how it works is pivotal to success in dance. I am all about the details.
I have taught private lessons for a year, while also teaching ballet, modern, and jazz in studios. I also led dance class at a charter school for a year twice a week. During my private lessons I got to work one on one with individuals and truly see dramatic improvement. I strive to see my students grow and cultivate their own creativity in movement.

Currently I work at an alternative school for students with learning disabilities and behavioral problems teaching Math and Art. Although there is no art program, I voluntarily head up art contests and help students paint murals on the campus. My degrees are in Computer Information Systems, French, and Spanish. After being a Computer Programmer for five years, I decided to become more involved with education. I've taught Math at City College, ESOL at Valencia Community College, and all subjects in elementary schools. I've voluntarily tutored disadvantaged children at a local church and helped my sisters with their homework for years. Overall, I'm a jack-of-all-trades and enjoy discovering the many unique ways students think and learn.

While serving the education department at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, I gave hour long tours to student groups ranging from elementary age to college level in which I led discussions on several works of art. As a historian, I have been trained to analyze and communicate effectively, as evidenced by my success as a tutor at Rollins College. This position required me to clearly explain concepts, review material, lead study sessions, and edit student research papers and essays. In addition, my work as an Advanced Composition instructor for a preparatory school has further reinforced these skills, and has also given me valuable insight into the grading process for high school teachers.
The Socratic method of teaching has been instilled in me as the most engaging and successful approach to learning. Through a series of deliberate, well-directed, leading questions from a tutor, the st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Salut! I used both teacher-centered and student-centered styles because although coaching and facilitating a student in understanding the language, having the knowledge of which countries speak the language and the different terminology used by each countries can be a benefit to a student. I believe in interaction and practice of the language on the daily basis. It takes time to learn a new language but with practice, perfection follows. Anyone can speak a new language and my best reward is to see the achievement in all my student. If I demonstrate my passion and love for it, then they will enjoy learning it and have fun while doing so. It is not a matter of a teacher's knowledge but how to pass that knowledge to the student.

I believe that every student learns different ways and at different rates. As a teacher it is important to learn these differences in each student and adapt your teaching style to the student. I believe that it is important to provide constructive criticism without diminishing a student's self-confidence. I want the students to feel comfortable with me so that they will feel more confidant making mistakes and asking question. This is especially important when students are reading aloud in front of their peers.
I graduated with a BSE in English education. I previously taught 10th grade English at Ridgeland High School in Ridgeland, MS. My main objective was to prepare these students for the state English test. For the past six months I have been tutoring students of all grade levels in reading comprehension and writing through an online tutoring company. I enjoy teaching creative w ... read more

Teaching is an art that many people find difficult. I am a firm believer that through a good education students can have a future in whatever career field they choose. In essence, a teacher has the ability to give a child a future. I think one of the best was to educate is by practice and hands on experience. As a teacher my main goal is for the student to comprehend the material which they are studying.I believe with hard work all children can be successful in meeting their education goal.While it is true that not all children learn in the same way, this issue can be solved by a very compassionate teacher that wants success for all of his or her students.I do feel that I can give children and adult students this success.

I believe that when teachers raise their expectations of students, the students rise to that level of expectation. All students have the capacity to excel in any subject although their style of learning may differ from other students. When educators take care to find out about a student, including what interests and motivates him, the student is more likely to have successes in class if the educator use the information to hers and the student's advantage. Once a student begin to have successes, they will definitely look forward to performing well and building on that success. As a teacher, I believed that every child, regardless of background, deserved the very best education and should be constantly reminded of the unlimited possibilities that exist so they do not settle for less.

My teaching style is energetic and over the top. I like to think back to when I was in school and the subjects that stuck out to me, and why. It was because I was having fun learning, and that is how I try to approach each of my lessons. I relate them to real world situations if possible and try to put a personal spin on my lessons. What would make this lesson relative to the person who is trying to learn it? Children are so wonderful to be around and the smile they put on my face when they have grasped a new concept is priceless.

In addition to my already expansive coursework in philosophy, I took courses in computer science, chemistry and English literature. This breadth of exposure has given me a unique base of knowledge on which to draw for teaching. I have tutored many subjects throughout the last seven years, including most college-level math, sciences and arts. During the past year, I have held both a software training position at the University of South Florida, and an instructor position for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, which have together led to unprecedented confidence in the classroom.
The key to enjoyment and success in any subject lies in the student realizing how the material relates to their life. This can be revealed to them in various ways, usually through demonstration of practical applications or hypothetical extrapolation of situational relevance. But I have found that the commu ... read more

My teaching style uses technolgy to reach my students, using computers, digital cameras and media to capture the children's mind. Once you have their attention you can teach them whatever you like for a period of time. I also find competition to be affective.
When I graduated with a Spanish major, I took the route to become certified as a teacher. I took graduate courses in education while working as a teacher. I was a world language teacher and taught Spanish to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th grade students. I enjoyed my experience as a teacher.

Both my undergraduate and graduate collegiate experiences have given me ample knowledge and skills to draw from with regard to teaching and tutoring. The experience of doing it, however, gave me much more. While I was in graduate school at the University of Texas I tutored women athletes. My teaching career began immediately after I finished graduate school in Austin, Texas. I taught in Austin for a year at Virginia College and then took a teaching job at the Florida Keys Community College. I was a Speech Teacher. Teaching students how to present themselves in verbal and written presentation was rewarding because I knew that I was preparing them for the future. Tutoring and teaching are great because both student and teacher learn; it's a two-way street.
