Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have worked with special needs children and adults for 26 years in all different settings, including work I did for the Department of Children and Families.

I am a fun, but no non-sense teacher, who pays attention to my student’s likes, dislikes and weaknesses in order to individualize my teaching and make learning interesting and exciting. I raise the bar for my students, while always remaining cognizant of my student’s abilities, strengths and weaknesses as to keep my expectations reasonable.
I am a sensitive, creative, and patient teacher with a bachelor’s degree in Exceptional Student Education and an Associates in Fine Arts, with more than 26 years of experience in championing educational and developmental student needs. I have worked in many different educational settings, such as preschools, public school, and therapeutic centers. I have also tutored children in academics privately for 19 years in many different subject areas and have been giving art lessons to students for the past 5 years privately in my home.

Improving Student Achievement

I believe that all children have the ability to learn. They each learn in a different way and at different rates but they all are able to learn. I promote a variety of teaching styles. Differentiated instruction is vital for student success. I believe in exposing students to different types of learning. Furthermore, I feel that students should be a part of their own learning process. I believe in working closely with the students and allowing to have their input on what way they believe is the best learning style for them. I believe that it makes them more excited about learning and they grasp the material being taught quicker. My goal in tutoring children is to promote positive and fun learning to help students succeed.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have great patience with children, helping them achieve their educational goals. I believe in helping each child attain his maximum potential, what ever that should be for that individual child. The key, for me, to teaching is to realize that each child learns at a different pace and in a different way. It is my job to tap into that for each child. Each child is an individual and will be treated as such.
I taught handicapped students (Birth through adulthood) for 20 years, with a Public School System in South Florida. My students were labeled with varying exceptionalities, such as: ADD, ADHD, blind, deaf, speech/language delayed, mentally handicapped, and physically handicapped. I also taught home-bound students, who were too ill to attend school. I trained parents of handicapped children, birth through age three, how to work with their children before they attended Publi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I absolutely love teaching children. What I enjoy the most about teaching is the feeling of accomplishment each and every child displays when they grasp the understanding of their assignment or subject. I am a firm believer that every child learns differently, thats why my approach and teaching method is different for each child. I try to coordinate the things they enjoy the most with the subject they are having difficulties in. For an example, for a child who loves to sing or compose music, but are having difficulties with their vocabulary. I would assist them with composing a song using their vocabulary, so it would be easier for them to comprehend and memorize their vocabulary.
During both of my high school and college years,  I have gained extensive experience in volunteering, tutoring and mentoring students in both Volusia and Hillsborough county. To name some of the programs ... read more

I struggled with math as a child, and know how frustrating it can be. Each person has an 'aha' moment when the numbers finally make sense, and I enjoy helping students achieve their own 'aha' moments. Learning the fundamentals is crucial, and I have numerous tips and tricks to helping students grasp and remember concepts. When working with a student, my policy requires them to work step by step, and show their work. This helps them remember the process, see their mistakes, and gives them notes to look back as a reference. I strive to find ways to make math relevant to their interests, and not just numbers on the page. I am patient, experienced, relatable, and believe that math is a hands-on learning experience that is fun, not a chore.
I have been tutoring math since I was an Algebra I student in the 8th grade. My experience is in basic elementary mathematics, Pre-algebra, Algebra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've always been passionate about teaching, and I love to work with children and youth. I have a wide range of teaching experience. I am educated as a high school teacher at the University of Oslo in Norway, where I come from. In Norway, I have been a piano teacher and worked as a substitute teacher in several elementary, middle and high schools. There I've taught subjects like French, ESOL, Math and more. I've also worked for Berlitz as a Norwegian teacher for adult immigrants. Here in Daytona Beach, I volunteer as a tutor for the Volusia Literacy Council. Right now I'm taking a Master's Degree, and working part time as a tutor would be ideal for me, as I really miss teaching!
I am a very patient person, that’s probably my best feature as a teacher. I don’t give up on anyone, no matter how long it takes to reach their goal. I strongly believe that all students can and will succe ... read more

As a counselor and a teacher, I've encountered students who learn best visually, students who are sight impaired, those with learning disabiliies, students who come from solid homes, and students who come from broken or dysfunctional homes. I feel strongly that it is my responsibility to meet the needs of all the students I tutor.
My philosophy of education is derived from my personal experience being both a learner and a teacher. I strongly believe that all students have the ablity and the desire to learn. I feel that it is a teacher's resonsibility to make sure that each and every student is given the opportunity to learn, and given the resources to satisfy that desire.

I find meeting and teaching children stimulation and rewarding. Children are like sponges that can learn at an amazing rate if taught in the correct manner. Anyone can teach, but to be a teacher who makes a difference is not an someone everyone can do.
In my everyday work, I teach a very diverse group of individual a very wide range of topics. My goal is to create an atmosphere of learning and growth. Each students' needs vary and need a teacher who will respond to that need. I am that teacher.

As a college senior, I have accumulated countless hours towards tutoring and mentoring those in need. Whether it's Pre-K, Elementary, Junior High, High School and College students, I spend a great part of my life not just accomplishing goals, but taking the time to extend a hand and bringing those once behind me to the forefront. I have grown to learn that the right amount of disciplne and nurturing go further than a full dose of either. The subjects I mostly excel in are mathematics, psychology, English, reading, and the Arts. I feel that the well-rounded education that I have received makes me versatile in the educational system as a multi-threat to the decline in graduation rates.
I find great joy in watching a child progress in their education. All children are capable of learning at their own pace, and through repetition. Your child will find success and ease in their academic ... read more

I have two bachelors degrees, however, I believe it is my experience teaching children that has helped me develop a good sense on how to approaching teaching scenarios. I have years of experience teaching children in academics, music, and dramatic arts, as well as coaching basketball and teaching golf at the professional level.
Each child is different. I always try to notice and acknowledge what benefits each student, as I think this applies to all forms of teaching from academics to athletics. Getting on their level is what ultimately benefits the child from the get go and gains their interest. If I'm interested, then the child is interested. I do my best to make sure the child is setting their goals and doing their best to achieve them in the way and style for which they are best suited.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education from my family history. I have earned a bachelor degrees, BS in Biology and a MS in criminology and Forensic with a concentration in security and admin. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports over the years, along with essays in many various areas of study. During my years in undergrad I have tutored students in psychology, reading, mathematics, and sciences and I loved every moment of it.
I must say that different teaching and learning styles can be accomodated by a variety of activities,I for one like to incorporate listening, interactive games for students, research perhaps in pairs or groups, also having them do a worksheets, sometimes slides, sometime film or tv.

I have been employed by Volusia County Schools for the last 20 years. I recently retired due to the fact that I was ready to work part time. I taught 16 years at Middle School. During that time I worked as a self-contained teacher for the mildly handicapped. I also taught ESOL for five years. After that, I spent four years teaching Elementary. Additionally, I tutored in the home bound program for a few years. I am certified in Learning Disability and ESOL. I have maintained a good record with Volusia County and can give references from principals I have worked for.
I am used to giving a good deal of individual instruction. I always begin at the skill level that will insure success of the student. I believe in finding the positives and abilities of the student. When working with small groups, I have strategies to see that each student is attending. I also believe that one m ... read more
