I have a B.A. in Speech and Communications and a Masters Degree in Speech and Language. I especially love working with special needs children with learning disabilities and language deficits. I have experience in assessment and therapy for Articulation, Language, Autism, and Dyslexia for children and adults. During my tenure with the Palm Beach School District I was able to assist many middle school students with special needs to complete their IEP goals and be mainstreamed to regular classes. My philosophy for working with young children is that learning strategies are most effective when they are interactive and fun. I have been trained to use auditory, visual, tactile/kinesthetic strategies as well as adult learning concepts. Prior to becoming a tutor with a major national organization, I was engaged in training professionals in technical writing skills and computers, includ

I have spent the last five years in the United Kingdom working on my bachelor and master degrees in English Literature and Applied Linguistics. From 2003-2006 I volunteered at the University's Language Resource Center where I tutored international students on their English language skills (reading, writing, speaking) and study skills. I have just spent the past two months (July-August 07) working at a study tour program for Italian students. I was an ESL teacher and taught 15-20 students at a time, focusing on writing in English and conversation skills. I am also in the process of getting my MA degree in Applied Linguistics. As part of my degree I assisted in writing and study skill work shops for undergraduate students. I choose to become a teacher because I think educators are one of, if not the most, influential people in the course of someone's life. Every student has the potential t

I love seeing students discover that they have learned something new. I believe all children can learn and my responsibility as a teacher is to help each one find his or her unique way of learning. I will set high standards for your child's learning outcomes but my expectations will be matched by my patience and willingness to work on his or her special needs. I am a firm believer in discovery and experiential learning to cement concepts that have to be understood. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate tools and learning experiences. I strive to work with the significant persons in a child's environment to develop the most effective ways of ensuring results. I have a distinguished record as an educator and recently completed a stint teaching Language Arts at a high school in Port St. Lucie. I have been successful as a high school teacher, trai

Discipline in the classroom is something essential for me. I always take care of three main steps: warm up - where I review or introduce a new content, body - where I develop the topic with three or four different activities taking into account different learning styles and strategies and finally the wrap up - where I close the topic and assign the homework or any activity for the next class. Every single class is carefully planned becuase I always try to anticipate difficulties with the advanced students and with the slow ones...there is always a plan B. I have been an English and Spanish teacher for 25 years. I have taught in all levels of education - elementary, middle, highschool and university - it has always been a great experience because I have learned how to deal with children, adolescents and adults. Teaching languages is a very rewarding issue because you can see your stud

As a graduate of a liberal arts oriented school, it was always impressed upon me that the ability to question and draw conclusions would lead to later successes. In addition, creating links from the theoretical to the practical though research techniques and observation is the only way to accurately correlate classroom and real world learning. I have over 2 years of experience tutoring limited English speakers and 1 year of substitute teaching experience in the 6th grade classroom. In that year I was the primary teacher responsible for creating a conducive atmosphere to learning as well as assessing and managing students and their personal ability to learn in the public school environment. My approach to tutoring is very much student centered. I focus on encouraging my students to draw conclusions and by creating an environment which supports questions and critical thinking.

I began substituting for elementary schools in Palm Beach County two years ago. At the end of the semester I worked at Kindercare Learning Centers where I organized activities and projects in addition to teaching. I then moved to the Czech Republic and took a course to became TEOFL certified. I taught English as a second language to business people, high school students and others. Now, I volunteer as a tutor for the Palm Beach Literacy Project. I teach adults reading and writing skills. I specialize in teaching English, grammar, literature, composition and more. I use a very humanistic approach to teaching because I believe that many outside factors can influence a student's learning process. Also, I try to get my students to relate to the material I am teaching them. I feel it benefits a student to know why what they are learning is important. I set high expectations for my students bu
