More About This Tutor...

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama. I have also have two years experience in the areas of ESL/ELL with my previous school district.

I truly enjoy working with others and watching the proverbial "light bulb" go off when a student "gets it." I am very comfortable and confident when working with individuals of all ages. I can contour my teaching styles to benefit adults, young students, and children. One of my primary goals as a tutor is of course to help the student comprehend the subject matter, but also to instill a sense of confidence in him or her. I believe that when a student is confident that he or she can do the work, he or she will do the work! If I can help one student succeed in his or her academic goals, I have succeeded in accomplishing mine.
As an Eckerd College graduate, I have been exposed to an intensive four-year program focusing on molecular biology. I have taken many biological science courses including Cellular Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Physiology, and Genetics. ... read more

Upon graduating from Queens College I obtained a position as a middles school science teacher in New York’s Spanish Harlem. After 2 ½ years of dealing with extremely difficult and dangerous situations I decided to move on to take various careers in industry. In 1985 I became the field service representative for NEC America. As a field service representative I traveled around the United States giving seminars to electronic technicians on how to service and repair NEC’s cellular equipment. In 1989 with the birth of my first child I became a full time Mr. Mom. When my two children were old enough I returned to teaching as a Varsity Soccer Coach and Substitute Teacher in Florida’s Charlotte County Public School system.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that knowledge is one of the most important facet in developing a successful life. One of my favorite joys is to see another person learn something new and to make use of that knowledge in his life or career. Without education one is severely handicapped in the development of becoming a complete person. Education is the key. Realizing that people are all different, I am flexible in my teaching methods, slowing down or speeding up my delivery and/or the complexity of the material with each student. I believe that course development should be goal-oriented so that when the student progresses to successful completion of that goal, there is a sense of achievement.
I served 20 years in the Navy, and during that period earned my BS Degree. Many of my assignments were in development and institution of training programs including Equal Opportunity/Race Relations, Leadership and M ... read more

I try to present the information in an "entertaining way" and institute a great deal of student involvement. I have seen this approach work well with a number of students who were behind in my classes.

The first year I used the "Language" program and the second year I used the "Treasures" program .

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.
Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

All through school I had an advanced understanding of math and i enjoyed helping others better understand it, for the past 5 years i have been offering tutoring to those in need. I have great understanding in everything up to and including statistics, algebra II, and some calculus.
I have always seen math in a different way then those around me and have always been able to help others see the problems in a different light to better understand it. I take pride in my ability to help others understand even when they believe it will be hopeless

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style totally depends on the student(s) that I am working with. Not all children learn at the same pace, nor do they all have the same attention span. That said, I find that applying the “token economy” approach, in getting the children to focus on the task, is very effective. If given time and patience, children are capable of accomplishing most anything.
I have been working with children for more than 20 years, as a tutor and mentor. My profession and academic education was in business and psychology, but my passion has always been working with children. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a substitute teacher, for Lee County Schools. And for the last 5 years, I have spent my summer months traveling throughout SE Asia, volunteering time in orphanages and schools, teaching the children English.
