My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

Even though I received my B.A. in Criminal Justice, I am knowledgeable in several other areas of study. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays because of my interest in other various fields of study.
I believe children want to learn, if it is done with humor and patience. It just takes the time and effort to find the way that works best. I am a person that wants every child to succeed and will work to find the best way for your child.

A Little Bit About Me...

All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored for individual strengths and weaknesses, facilitating the learning process and desired outcome. Most people know intuitively how they learn, as well as which modalities work best for them. Paying attention, listening, probing with questions, observing responses, being patient is the first part of my job. Often times the student knows what works best and can even tell you. So I just need to pay attention. Once the diagnosis is evident then I can prescribe, or at least give suggestions that help facilitate the desired outcome. Then it's evaluate, make adjustments, continue and expand on new learning sets and ac ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored students of all ages and abilities in math and economics for six years. I have learned that teaching quite often involves more than helping students learn the topics listed on their syllabus. My most challenging and rewarding tutoring position involved working with learning disabled students. I became a mentor to many of these freshmen; teaching them study skills and helping them adjust to college life. Last summer, I taught Health Care Economics to forty University of Florida juniors and seniors. I was responsible for all aspects of the class including planning lectures, creating exams, and grading. I also became a sounding board for students wishing to discuss career choices and graduate school. At the conclusion of the course, I received exceptional student evaluations. I know that the extra time I have spent with my students has helped them become better studen ... read more

I enjoy working with students in all settings, including small groups and one-to-one. My personal specialty was in one-to-one math and science tutoring. Students do best when they have a goal to achieve. My goal with each child is to use positive reinforcement and encouragement. I try to consider each child's individual learning styles when working with them. It is extremely important that the setting is comfortable and conducive to learning, whether it is in a classroom or a library.
After graduating from Florida State University, I received a job at DISC Village in Tallahassee Florida as a Prevention Counselor in the Beta program. This program was school-based and involved working with at-risk middle school students at Wakulla Middle School. My duties included instructing 12-26 students in 6th-8th grade in social skills, behavior improvement, drug prevention, and study group ... read more

I am a person profoundly shaped by my educational experiences and thus believe in the importance of education, particularly in a person’s formative years. Throughout college, I often tutored individuals of all ages in an array of subjects. Elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college too. Upon graduating from UF I taught middle school mathematics for several years. It was certainly a fulfilling experience, and though I don’t teach full time any more, I have kept education and the habit of teaching with me. I have tutored individuals off and on throughout the years and recently was teaching classes of undergrad students on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). I like working with students and helping them to understand what they must.
I thoroughly enjoy the transmission of knowledge. What's more is that I find it challenging and fulfilling to figure out what hindrances and expe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a Master's student in English Literature at Florida State University, not only did I hone my own writing skills via academic papers and presentations; I also gained valuable teaching and tutoring experience as a teaching assistant. While enrolled, I constructed curriculum for and taught 2 sections of Freshman Composition per semester, wherein I instructed classes and smaller workshop groups in grammar, syntax, and composition. I've also tutored undergraduate and graduate students in one-on-one settings on a freelance basis.
Through my experience as a teacher and tutor, I've learned that each student has a different threshold for learning, and a different speed at which they can process the information. The trick, of course, is to find the proper impetus and the proper speed for each student, and to nurture and enforce their efforts with positive feedback. I believe that I can pr ... read more

My teaching style has foundations in the Socratic seminar, where class discussions lead students to form their own understanding of the materials/subjects at hand. As students only retain 5% of what is spoken in lectures, I encourage students to follow a model of inquiry and responsibility for their own work. I support studying and reading at home in order to excel on tests, and offer individual assistance to each student. I also insist that parents take a strong leadership role in the education of their children, so that they may develop a yearning for information and knowledge. Lastly, I use the daily newspaper as reading material as well as topics for discussion and vocabulary acquisition. My goal is to help students become critical thinkers who take responsibility for their education.
Besides teaching language arts for the last four years in North Carolina, I have a lifelong i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching has long been a passionate calling of mine. I am motivated to help students of all ages to succeed academically and to overcome learning obstacles. I am patient, and simply cannot be discouraged in my efforts to make any topic understandable and enjoyable. Math is my particular favorite. I love seeing confidence grow in students as they build their math skills and discover that problem-solving is fun! I believe that every learning setting, whether in a classroom or a tutoring session, should be a safe place that is free from fear of failure. It's important to me to establish a good rapport with my students, and I find this generally comes naturally because I truly care about their success.
I have a B.S. in Computer Studies and have spent the last 19 years as a computer programmer. I have great tech skills, including the Microsoft Office applications. I am proficient ... read more
