Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Phoenix, AZ

I enjoy working with students, and helping them reach their full potential. In order to do this effectively, I believe in creating a comfortable, honest, and warm environment for my students. I am a hard worker, and I feel that is passed on to the children I am teaching and tutoring. I know that all children can achieve anything if they just put their mind to it. Before anything, they need to feel respected, and know that I am there to help them and reach their goals. I want to make a positive impact on students, and be a teacher as well as a role model. I am currently finishing up my degree in elementary education and will be graduating in May through Arizona State University. I have been student teaching this past semester in a fourth grade classroom, but have experienced various grade levels through internships and nannying. I am certified in elementary education through the state of

I absolutely love teaching children of all ages. Every student is capable of success and I do not take the responsibility of reaching a child's absolute maximum lightly. As a teacher, I get to know each and every child by assessing their needs and discovering what learning/teaching style works best for them. Every child in my class walks out the door each and every day knowing they learned something and are able to aquire knowledge and skill to anything they put their mind to. I am devoted and passionate about teaching. My students consider me patient, fair, and caring. I expect great things because I know every child can do great things. I am a highly qualified/certified fourth-fifth grade teacher. I have a Masters in Elementary Education in grades K-8. I have six years of successful experience teaching students in these grades. During the 2009-2010 school year, my students' t

Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at St. Mary's in East Dubuque, Illinois for six years. My principal nominated me in 2004 for the Rotary Excellence in Teaching Award for the State of Illinois. Throughout my college experience and years at St. Mary's, I was also a lead teacher/tutor at Prodigy Child Development for their after-school and summer programs. When teaching 5th/6th grade at St. Mary's, I also taught 7th/8th grade English. For the past two years, I have been substituting full-time K-12. I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. Regardl

I am a graduate student at ASU studying Education Administration. I have experience working with students of all ages 5-17. I currently work in a middle school and spend my weekends teaching life skills to troubled youth. I have taught for over 6 years and I plan to continue teaching for as long as I can. I enjoy working with children and sharing my passion for learning. I participate in ongoing professional development to be a better educator and I am always for looking for new ways of teaching children. My teaching style is very hands-on, exploratory and structured. I expect my students to work hard, stay focused, and give effort. I can work with any skill level of student and I motivated to try different techniques to ensure they not only learn the material but also apply it. I believe all children can learn, but it is up to me to find what works for the individual.

I enjoy tutoring because I am able to pass on the knowledge that I have learned over the years. This knowledge can help academic and self confidence problems linked the certain subjects. The key to successful tutoring is to link the "trouble course" to feelings of enjoyment. The path to linking the course depends on student personality and interests. The student will experience more motivation and interest once the subject is properly associated to enjoyment. This starts the foundation for increased learning and a way to bypass the “learning block”. Other keys involve patients and proper explanation of the subject, which are also very important. Through the process of entering and attending dental school I attained a great knowledge of the sciences and chemistry subjects. I have also learned vast organizational skills, which I would like to pass on. I have also written many research pape

As an elementary and middle school Language Arts teacher I believe instruction should be tailored to the needs of the individual learner and to the needs of the community. I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of settings and ability levels. Students confidently excel when they are in a learning environment that is tailored to their abilities and needs. I strive to build a relationship of respect with each student. I am focused, student-centered, and knowledgeable of subject matter. I can create and foster an environment that motivates students and helps them to learn. I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Elementary Education, a Reading and Literacy minor, and an endorsement in Middle School Education. As a teacher my students succeeded in reading literacy/comprehension, and improved their overall writing skills by several grade levels. After a successful teachin

I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the directions of how to play boardgames especially if they have a blast playing it! I know that every child wants to learn and I will strive to make sure that each and every child will have the opportunity to learn at their fullest potential. As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read many pa

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

I have always been described as person who truly loves children. I am patient and kind but hold high expectations. I believe all children want to learn and enjoy learning when they meet with success. Success in learning can bring a huge change in attitudes and behavior in children. I have seen it happen. I have ten years experience teaching elementary school. I have taught sixth, fourth and third grade. I also have one year experience teaching kindergarten. I have been trained in writing instruction through the state in North Carolina. I am also trained in the Literacy First reading program. I currently hold a valid teaching certificate in North Carolina for grades K-5. I am presently applying for my Arizona certificate.

I find that students have their own unique style of learning. I also believe that by establishing a solid set of study skills while catering to individual techniques of the student, the learning process can grow and thrive. Therefore, I would combine my training in theatre and performance to make learning an enjoyable process. I have a very kind and patient disposition which helps foster a supportive learning environment. The most rewarding education comes from self-discovery and I firmly believe that the best teaching comes from this principle. At this point in my professional career, I currently do not have any experience teaching in a formal classroom environment. However, my experience does extend into performance education, as I have three years experience working for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in which I increased participation of general visitor and school audie
