My comments on tutoring Chess : I know the basic moves and strategies.

I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, reading, and math.
My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment.

"Half of knowledge is knowing where to find it."

Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.
After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really love teaching. I also think that anybody can grasp any concept in any subject as long as they are subject to a good teacher that knows how to get down to the student's level. This helps the teacher to realize that the student doesn't know everything that the teacher knows, and therefore, has to realize that he has to break down the material in simple, approachable sections so that the average student can comprehend it easily.

Over the course of my studies in Mechanical Engineering I learned the value of perseverance. My classes were extrememly difficult, but I did not give up. I had numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve my degree, but I finally did so in May of this year. Knowing that I have a B.S.M.E. and I passed my E.I.T. on the first try gives me a lot of pride in my work. Throughout my years in college and since I have graduated I have tutored several friends in calculus 1, 2,and 3; statistics and differential equations. I also tutored in advanced math for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.
I believe that the easiest way for a child to learn is whatever method is easiest for that child. Not all students learn the same way. A great teacher takes the time to understand, through evaluation and listening, which teaching method each student needs for maximum success. I can see the potential i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a parent of 4 and an educator in Pasco County, I have learned that a student will develop according to expectation and ability. Assessing abilities will allow for appropriate expectations. Educating with excellence to all learners shows compassion, skill and patience. Working with both elementary and high school students has allowed me to understand the learning process for a diversity of learners at varying stages of development.
Teaching and learning means student and teacher have a relationship with each other. I can show a student their strengths and allow weaknesses to surface during the learning process. Without condemnation, a student will excel. I love working with students of all ages because when that lightbulb goes off no matter the age, we all benefit, and this is the greatest thing~~

Since receiving my Elementary Education Degree fifteen years ago, I have had the opportunity to experience the many different aspects the teaching profession offers. Prior to relocating to Florida I taught for 4 years in Pennsylvania and this is my eleventh year with Pinellas County Schools. I presently teach 5th grade at San Jose Elementary in Dunedin and am currently seeking my Masters Degree through USF. I have tutored both children as well as adults, 10 out of the 15 years of my teaching career. I constantly strive to stay current with the newest educational trends through extensive reading, exploring new technologies, and through our nation’s multi-media. I also expand my knowledge by attending and/or participating in the different county-level courses that are offered to teachers throughout the school year.

In my opinion good teaching results from years of trial and error and the willingness to learn about teaching from veteran colleagues and from one’s own successes and failures. Teaching is both a science and an art; it is a science in the preparation, pedagogy, methodologies, and assessments; it is an art in the myriad of dynamic interactions that take place in the classroom every day which are affected by the teacher’s actions, class size, student backgrounds, subject area, physical conditions, etc. As in art, part of the attraction to teaching is its inherent complexity that makes it difficult to decompose and describe explicitly, and similar to art - you know the quality when you see it.

Being a business student required many hours of research and writing. As I went further and further into my major it became increasingly important that my information was both current and accurate. This made me focus on being able to find, translate, and relate multiple pieces of information into a context that was understandable to both students and faculty. This gave me experience in speaking and writing to both those who knew a specific subject extensively, and those being introduced to a subject for the first time in a way that they could be understandable to all. I have worked in multiple group setting as well as one on one where I was able to translate ideas into words or writing that made a picture more complete or understandable.
I love teaching all age groups of children. I know that every child is capable of not only learning a subject, but being successful at understandi ... read more
