A Little Bit About Me...

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 have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Biology and more recently, as BS in Information Systems, graduating with honors. As such, I have a thorough understanding of math, science and computer concepts, as well as a strong command of English skills. I have many years of professional experience in fields where analytical and problem solving skills were key requirements to successful job performance, as was the ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, and have been published in scientific journals. Currently, I enjoy helping my young nieces and the children of friends learn reading and math skills, and am always delighted when they grasp new concepts.
I love learning, and was a member of the National Honor Society while in school. I believe every child has the potential to become an outstanding student and to enjoy attaining goals. I feel that the big ... read more

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 have taught primarily at the high school level, and during that time, I taught 9th, 10th grade Language Arts, 9-12 Theatre, and 9-12 Speech classes. Since retiring, I worked with a local government grant program for youthful offenders, teaching GED classes and preparation for the FCAT exam. Reading and English were my focus.

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

Sometimes a child's obstacle is not always an academic challenge. A truly talented educator looks beyond the letter grade and must genuinely understand the student as a person and his/her life. Don't we all respond to someone who truly cares about our well being and performance? I present the child with the tools to succeed and allow him/her to hold the power of his success. When a person is given the gift to accomplish tasks for self-development, it's an intrinsic reward that can't be matched.
I hold a BA in Early Childhood, studied Communications, and absolutely love teaching. I do not teach in a classroom, however, I teach in the corporate world, which has given me the opportunity to learn new challenges and achieve different goals. When I started my career teaching, I taught Pre K – 1st grade. When I decided to change careers, I didn't want to give up teaching completely; ... read more

My teaching style is all about the children that I am teaching. They lead me to be the teacher they need to help them learn. I like to think that my basics are lead by good classroom management techniques, cooperative learning strategies, and positive behavior support systems. The students will determine what the best techniques will work and I will adapt to their needs. I like to teach through exploration and lots of hands on activities. A lot of the activities will be data driven by the students performance on previous activities or pretests and post tests. No matter what road I take to teach my students, I will do my best to teach in a way that my students will learn.
As a graduate on December 13th, I have learned more about being a teacher than I ever could have dreamed. My professors, mentors, peers, and most important, students have taught me how to be a great teacher. ... 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.

I love teaching and working with children of all ages, especially at the elementary and middle school level. I know that my job is not done until the student I am tutoring fully understands the subject matter. I believe students learn best through exploring the material at their own pace and applying life experiences to the material at hand. When I am teaching students I am both patient and considerate, as I know that the material can be difficult to learn.
During my years in High School, I participated in various programs that involved tutoring students in reading and language arts. I have also tutored friends and family throughout the years in reading, math, and history. As a current student at the University of South Florida I help fellow classmates with homework as often as I can. I currently hold my AA from Manatee Community College and will graduate from USF with my BA in Dec ... read more

After obtaining a BS in English and Secondary Education from Salem State College, I utilized my well honed skills in the business world for over thirty years. I have a strong background in human resources, a profession that required me to write and edit numerous employee manuals and directives. My class room teaching experience proved to be a great asset in helping me develop and conduct multi-media presentations. I was required to attend professional courses and seminars that demanded exacting research and analysis. I have been substitute teaching in the Lee County Florida School District for the last two years.
One of the truly rewarding aspects of substitute teaching is the fact that I am allowed to work with students of all ages and disciplines. I recognize the unique potential in every child and I welcome the opportunity to help your child develop that potential to its full ... read more

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 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
