Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ponte Vedra, 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 allow my teaching style to mold itself to each individual student, finding methods of communicating the information that best suit the learning style of my student. I favor a holistic approach to learning, believing that education should be of the whole person. If a student learns how a skill in his tutoring session can be applied in real life, then his or her perception of the subject may fundamentally improve. I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, with experience tutoring at Tennessee Temple University, as well as University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in various topics, including biodiversity, mathematics (up to pre-calculus), history, and American Sign Language. I continue to study in my personal time as many topics as possible, with the belief that a good tutor is firstly a good student.

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

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 all my students. I know every child has different learning styles and I have been equipped with the skills needed to adapt to those needs. I do however think visuals and hands on learning is key. I'm not super strict, so if that is what you are looking for I am not your tutor. My principle is to learn while having fun. If we can't laugh and still get an A in school then we have done our children an injustice by making them think school is boring. I do my best to do whatever I can to make new material seem easy. 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

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 teach high needs, inner-city students every day, many of whom are classified as ESE. (Exceptional Student Education). I use a very engaged teaching style that encourages each child to work on an instructional-rather than a frustration-level. I believe all children learn differently-whether they are visual, auditory, or kinesthetic-or a combination of all. I believe that school was never meant to be a struggle-an effort yes, but not a struggle! It is my goal to give each child a fresh start and an enthusiasm for learning by making it fun and relevant to them in this 21st century. I began teaching Speech and Dramatic Arts in 1997 after 20 years in private industry. Initially I taught in a K-8 parochial school. In 2004 I began teaching ESE children at the Broach School (private school)in both English and Reading to high needs 6th-12th graders. Many of these students had failed in the pub

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 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.
