Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

My teaching experience and my hobby was directing and acting in productions. I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching allows me to share this joy. I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can he

Hello! I have 15 years of teaching experience in the classroom and have been tutoring now since January of 2012. I have a true passion for teaching! I have taught in the parochial, private, and public schools. I taught at Assumption Catholic School from 1997-2004, English and Reading to 6th-12th grade ESE students at The Broach School from 2004-2008, and Intensive Reading to 11th and 12th graders at Andrew Jackson High School (public inner city urban in Duval County) from 2010-2011. I have also conducted FCAT, ACT, and SAT prep, as well as study skills in the summer months when students don't have schoolwork! While in the classroom my average student came up 3-4 grade levels in a year in reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and language mechanics. My certification was in English 6-12 while in the classroom I believe every student can learn! School was never meant to be a

I adapt my style of tutoring based on the needs of the student. -I have been tutoring successfully for the past four years, aiding not only colleagues in their desire to obtain optimal grade point averages, but also kids with ages ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade. -I have tutored kids towards end of year exams and have turned desperate situations into passing grades. -I received a 1390/1600 SAT score and did not take the ACT.

I am the kind of person who is direct with my teaching. I do not sit around, I am there offering my services to help those who request my services. I teach them what the teachers do not or will not teach. I also help my clients understand the materials given to them and even help them find anything relating to their course of study which will help them in their assignments. Anyone who selects my services should note my array of interests which are numerous, considering I do not limit myself to one subject. I am a two year history major with a life long interest in history. I am also an avid writer with various blogs, articles, and a few books either written or edited. Lastly, my interest in art is also life long as is my love of science, social studies and various other topics.

Teaching is part of whom I am. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment when I have helped a child or teen progress and feel good about learning. I am patient and strive to know the student and their unique needs. I tailor my approach according to each student's learning style and academic level. There is no question that with a willing child and positive environment, all hurdles can be surmounted and the student can achieve the success he desires. I try to build a sense of self confidence in the student so that he/she can realize their potential. I have taught grades k through 12 and beyond in the areas of general elementary ed, reading, writing, advanced composition and literature, grammar and study skills. I have most recently tutored students at a local prep school in Advanced English. I have also had the joy of tutoring kindergardeners and first graders in basic reading s

As a professional holding my teaching degree and now working on my masters in Counseling for Education at the University of North Florida, I love working with students. I substitute taught in Nashville, Tennessee for a semester at the middle school level in every subject. This past school year I substitute taught at the high school level. I took over a Freshman and Sophomore Algebra class for the last two months of school. I loved every second of it and would have loved to have continued, but I already had plans to move to Jacksonville to start on my masters this summer. I also tutored a 6th grade boy in Nashville for a year in math. I am very good working one on one with students. I am willing to take on any challenge. I have the belief that every student can achieve and have success. I would have never gone into the teaching field if that was not my belief. I have high expectations for

With six years of experience in high school public schools -- a vo tech school, an alternative school and a regular zone school--I have ample experience with a wide variety of students. I teach English literature and grammar. I have editing experience as an editor of a newsletter, and I wrote a few published articles for newspapers. I also have a degree in teaching from a prestigious school. I prefer to get to know students and cater my style of teaching to what works best for each student. For some students at some points, a direct teaching approach works. For others a discovery method works well. I employ a whole child approach to whatever teaching methods I use.

I enjoy teaching and have always had a passion for working with children. i feel that with the right encouragement any child can learn the skill sets necessary to succeed. i believe that positive encouragement is the key to helping children learn. I have gained a different perspective in my current job while working with adults with developmental disabilities. It amazes me to see what structure and praise can do for a child. i desire to make a difference in the people's lives i work with by being a positive role model and never doubting a child's potential. As a college graduate at a small liberal arts university, I have always valued education. I received my bachelor degree in Psychology in spring 2006. During college, i had the opportunity to tutor for a 5th grade classroom in all subjects. After college I have worked at two jobs which allowed me to tutor. As a Family Services

In my opinion teaching a student isn't hard at all. With anything practice makes perfect, and that's exactly what most children need to succeed.I like to use the modeling approach to teaching.I first tell students what to do, then show them how to do it. I always ask the student what it is they think they're suppose to do, because it's my experience that sometimes students get confused on what it is they're tasked with doing. My objective is for the students to learn by understanding and not by memorization. I do this with care and patience. I’m a firm believer that with hard work comes great reward.I graduated with a BS degree in journalism. This gave me the opportunity to appreciate the acts of investigation, writing, and deadlines.I held the position of a substitute teacher, and I taught grades from kindergarten to 12th grade. I helped students in a number of subjects including mat

I believe that the key to a productive and happy life is a solid, formal education. I also believe that education should be exciting and challenging and that every child should dream big. I am a calm and patient tutor who will strive to find the teaching style that is best for your individual child. As a child I hated school and I was determined that I would do whatever it took to rear a confident child who was not afraid of school and loved to learn. I will do whatever it takes to address your child’s needs and find a successful approach for his or her tutoring. My first experience tutoring was in college as a Project Appalachia volunteer. As my daughter grew up I was very involved at her schools, as home room mother and volunteer. Susan is now a 21 year old pre-med, Honors Program senior with a 4.0.

Having spent 35 years as a public and private school educator, I have learned that every student has a capacity to learn. It is my responsibility to find the "key" to open the individual student's "learning door". I have always believed that a down-to-earth, personal approach is best. I am considered by former students as an understanding, compassionate teacher. "Reality based" is the best way to describe my teaching style -- we all can learn, but we all learn in different/unique ways. Having worked with ESE students(both gifted and challenged), has given me insight into "what works". I CAN help your student! I began teaching high school Journalism, English, and History in 1966 and have spent 15 total years at the secondary level. After four years in the Air Force and two years as a delinquent youth probation counselor, I returned to teaching with a Master's Degree in Exceptional Stu

I taught Kindergarten in Gainesville in 2008 and am teaching Kindergarten in Jacksonville at St. Pius elementary school. I have been babysitting, tutoring, and working with children for ten years. I spent the summer in Italy as an English tutor. I am passionate about working with all children and making a difference. I know that all children can learn but that they learn differently and will need various teaching styles. I like to use a lot of manipulatives when teaching math and reading, to use songs, and to find things you child enjoys to teach them important educational necessities. I believe that high expectations yield high reseults. My experience with low income students in Jacksonville has shown me that anyone can learn if they are given the proper tools and enthusiastic support.
