I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and whole group studious conditions. At all academic levels at Elmira College, I helped students to succeed at their scholarly endeavors. As a parent, I guided own daughters to be successful learners. This makes me an excellent candidate to help the next generation to be set on the pathway to thrive in their life vision.
My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop stra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of education has always been as an encourager/motivator. I worked with middle and high school students at a vocational center, who the regular schools had given up on. I had great success since I have a high level of energy and passion for learning and motivating people, whether in the classroom, on the athletic field or in the community and church arena(both of which I volunteer in). Our goal was to prepare students for vocations and professions following graduation and I was very successful at this task, as is testified by the numbers of students working and owning their own businesses in the Ft Myers, Estero and Cape Coral area!
I am a retired educator! I was a teacher/coordinator in Educational Supervision(adm) of sudents at a High Tech Center. I was also involved in Hospital Home Bound education for Middle and High School students as an additionally my wife and I tuto ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a Nurse Manager of an ICU, I was tapped to teach IV Therapy and heart rhythm monitoring classes.That developed into a FT position as a Nursing Inservice Coordinator,then later as a Director of a hospital wide education department,either teaching classes myself(such as in CPR)or coordinating others to teach.My years as a consultant I either taught seminars having to do with quaility improvement or worked with smaller groups and on-in-one in business/hospital facilities. As a Personal Coordinator, most recently, I taught new employees timekeeping,payroll procedures and specific computer access steps.I think my stronger suit might be in reading and science, but I think that I could manage elementary level math.
I like more interactive methods, as that is the basically what I did the majority of the time. I don't enjoy seminars with large groups as much. I try to be very patient a ... read more

I believe that children can learn in many different ways. I am constantly researching different ways and techniques I can use in the classroom to better assist each student. I try to mix traditional teaching methods with fun games, facts, and activities that help to engage the learner. I have been told by many of my students that they still do not like English, but they love having me as their English teacher.
English has always been my best subject. It was natural for me to major in English Education when I decided to go back to college. I believe that when I teach English, I make it fun but most importantly, understandable. I love reading and reviewing the different genres that this subject covers, especially short stories and novels. I have taken several workshops to help improve my ablility to teach writing and to help students prepare for the FCAT Writing Exam. However ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught Kindergarten for five years at two different Title-1 schools in Okeechobee, Florida. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of students including those afflicted with ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, and behavioral challenges. Prior to my teaching experience, I have also had experience interning in 2nd grade and 4th grade classrooms, worked with extended day programs and tutored elementary school students.
From my teaching experience, I have been able to remain sensitive to students’ unique capabilities and provide a supportive and positive learning environment. My greatest strength includes the ability to motivate students using a variety of teaching styles in order to accommodate the variety of learning styles among each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working with children for 10 years and absolutely enjoy it. My belief is that all students can succeed when given the chance. During my pre test I assess the student and observe to implement the best tutoring tactic for each and every child. All children are different and special in each and every way. The best reward in tutoring is to see the student being tutored academically succeed. When tutoring not only does the tutor need to know the material being taught but also be able to communicate well with the child and bond in order to get across and be effective. Another important thing is to communicate with the parents and the teachers regularly to that the areas in need are being reinforced in all aspects.

Engaged in academic activities with selected students either one-on-one or with small groups. Developed meaningful and positive relationships with children and their families. Assist children with daily homework tasks and supplemental assignments. Created a safe, respectful child development based learning environment.
I am a recent Business graduate with a 4.0 GPA, who volunteers my time everyday at James Stephens International Academy, as a teacher assistant. I don’t have a specific age group that I prefer; I love inspiring children to make the right choices, when it comes to education. I tell my daughter all the time how blessed she is to do any kind of school activity, because I didn’t make those wise decisions, I chose to drop out of school in the eight grade. It’s nothing that I am proud of, that’s why I am committed to enhancing and supporting the education of my daughter an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught Kindergarten through 8th grade, in elementary ed, language arts, writing process, and social studies. I have tutored students in math and English, as well as worked in after school programs that focused on tutoring. I have graded over 1500 writing props for the State of Missouri, and have taught writing in school, as well as in an after school program.
I am very organized, being on task and requiring my students to be so. I enjoy helping students learn and expect students to use their time wisely and productively. When a student does not get a concept, I break it down in very small steps; thus, helping the child pinpoint where they are making errors and correcting them. I encourage students by giving both verbal and non verbal rewards, such as stickers, and small prizes. Students seem to respond to my teaching style, and I have had success in improving stu ... read more

I am looking forward to sharing the skills which were developed over 30 years of teaching. My elementary classroom experience includes teaching grades 2,3,4,5 and 6. The successful experiences I had working with learning disabled students, unmotivated students, and gifted students brought me much satisfaction. One on my strengths is my ability to motivate and inspire students with different learning styles across many grade levels.
It is very important to find out what skills sets a child needs to be reinforced. The activities the student engages in must be based on his strengths and weaknesses. I believe in working with the student to explain their thought process. I do this by asking questions and helping them realize how to attack a task. I find the student by verbalizing what they are thinking is able to progress at a faster rate. This helps the student self confidence a ... read more

I chose the teaching profession because I wanted to be a positive adult male role model for students. I believe all kids can learn and can achieve academic success with a teacher who is patient and supportive to their needs. I have a systematic approach to teaching; I have found that when ideas and concepts are "broken down" and explained step by step, students have an easier time understanding and grasping those ideas. I also believe that the key to academic success lies in developing essential skills; such as, note taking skills, organization skills, and test preparation skills.

Teaching has become something that I discovered a great passion for while I was educating parents in a Parenting Class for Foster Parents. Each student is different and therefore our goal as educators is to adapt and shift according to the needs of the student. I believe that all are capable of learning with the right instruction. Students must dictate the type of learning they feel most comfortable with and as the tutor, I must adjust. Children are visual, investigative, imaginary, detail oriented, readers, hands-on, and as the tutor, you must be prepared for anything. I feel I am capable of reaching and helping any child once I determine the best way to help them.
My level of experience in the education world has gone onto the Masters Level and I am currently pursuing my double master’s degree in Psychology. While in college, I served as a tutor in the Psychology Department for f ... read more

I have a wealth of experience tutoring kids. My knowledge gains from college and in the work force allows me to provide accurate tutoring to students seeking help. I have tutored in subjects such as Math and Science. For the last 3yrs I have tutored students in inner city after school programs. I find great joy in providing assistance to students in the academic areas and to help improve our wonderful public school system.
Teaching is natural for me, especially kids. Every responsible adult is a teacher whether they know it or not. I teach and tutor on the premise of; with discipline, a child can accomplish anything set before him or her, and overcome any obstacle laid in front of him or her. I believe when giving kids the proper tools to succeed in life it is not a matter of will they succeed but it is a matter of when they will succeed.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to discover the best learning style suitable to their abilities.
As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, ... read more
