A Little Bit About Me...

Worked in ECE for 2 years, worked at Elementary School for 2 years covering grades Pre-K - 5 for teachers as they attended the CARE meetings. I have two degrees: B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies, and an A.A. in Psychology, which has enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of reading comprehension and writing skills. I have also gained a considerable amount of knowledge in math.
I have a unique way with children, and I love children. Each child has a different way of learning, and as a teacher I recognize those ways and work with each child to help them achieve the highest level possible in education.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now that I am here in Florida I want to continue to tutor, mentor, and foster educational improvement.
I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment. I empower and encourage students through many different strategies. Making learning fun and exciting is often the tool that is missing in the classroom as well as differentiated instruction. Students learn though discovery and using all senses. I incorporate music as well since it has power to change moods and make connections in learning. I inspire students to make a difference in their own lives by empowering them to achieve success.
As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education. I have earned a BS and MS in Specific Learning Disabilities, Varying Exceptionalities, and English Speakers of Other Languages. I have always had a desire to work with students who have difficulties learni ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to teach. I presently teach at a montessori school for deaf children. I truly enjoy working everyday with my students. I have an innate ability to teach. I take pride in providing individualized education to all of my students. I guide them with respect and dignity to allow them to realize their potential. Being positive and having the right attitude can bring down many barriers that may block one from growing and learning and I make sure that each one of my students can learn the power of this.
I have a varied academic background. I graduated from an interpreting training program in 1998 and worked as an educational interpreter for several years. I then went back to college to get my degree in education. Most of my studies are in education, including deaf and special education, psychology, counseling, american sign language, child speech, language development, and ... read more

First, I have a genuine passion to inspire children to reach their full learning potential. Secondly, I would like to lead by example, continuing my own desire to be a life learner and thereby, encouraging our students to also feel the zest for knowledge. I believe knowledge promotes ones self-esteem and in return fosters higher growth and development. I am a calm, creative, confident teacher who encourages questions, engages in active listening and possesses a flexible teaching style that meets the needs of the individual. Lastly, I would like to be a positive and memorable influence on a young person’s quest for learning. As a result I am able to give back to the community that has provided me with my own foundation in life.

I really love working with all children and students. I have experience working with children aged 1 years old up to the college years. I have always been a lover of education and know the knowledge equals power. I believe that education requires hardwork but can also be very rewarding and fun, which is why I am very animated in my teaching. This also helps keep children interested and I learned this strategy working with young children, as well as working with children who went to school during their summer vacation. I believe that children can be the best that they can be with the proper encouragement and tools to do so.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to work with students of all ages, especially children. I am kind, patient, and enthusiastic about the process of learning and living. I believe it is essential to offer an environment that creates an upwards spiral and wide web of learning through utilizing methodologies like that of Vygotsky’s Scaffolding and a Montessori Approach, as well as employing ideologies from John Dewey, Alvin Johnson and Margret Wheatley – that when you learn what you love then you will realize that everything else that need be learned is intricately connected to each other. I have a creative essence that allows me to teach with ease and students to learn and be successful in every area of their education.
I have always had a passion for education and learning for myself and others of all ages. After pursuing my BA degree in Humanities awith a Minor in Leadership, I taught for five years in a c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am fluent in American Sign Language and have served as an interpreter mainly in religious settings. I taught at the preschool level for 17 years before completing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education K-6 with ESOL Endorsement from the University of South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in a south-county school which has allowed me to work with students from all walks of life and abilities. Working at a elementary magnet school for engineering, I have helped to write an elementary engineering curriculum that is standards-based and integrated across the curriculum. I have tutored students in primary math and reading capacities in the last 2 years.
I believe that all children can learn but they don’t all learn in the same way. It is important to maintain structure but in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to learning. I ascertain that children can make their own con ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Each child is unique and learns in different ways. By being an active participant, children are able to 'construct' their education more impressionistically, with the understanding that auditory and visual aids accompany. As a Montessori teacher I approach the students with attention towards their overall well-being. I guide my lessons with patience and clear direction, and note progress toward specific follow-ups/goals. I devote time to updating records and documenting observations.
As a teenager, I became an Eagle Scout and was a peer mentor (Big Bro./Big Sis.). I am an Earlham College graduate with a BA in Japanese Studies. After graduation I went on a study-abroad program to Japan and taught English to junior high students, and tutored elementary students in Japanese upon returning to the U.S. I was a counselor at a camp for teenage boys with behavior issues where I provide ... read more
