My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up to Site Coordinator where I was in charge of my own after school care group, including being in charge of organizing activities and managing youth counselors. Most recently I underwent PADI Divemaster training where I had real world experience teaching and assisting PADI Open Water students with classroom, confined water, and open water training. My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For inst

I feel that the most important step to being an effective teacher is to make the material relevant. If the student does not see a relevant reason to learn the material, the learning curve will be much steeper. Then, I work hard to be sure the student understands my commitment to partner with him/her in the learning process, and that process is a two-way street. And, once I've determined the method of learning that works best for a student, I design the material to accommodate that method. Once these goals are met, success is assured. My experiences as the oldest of seven children instilled in me the desire to educate others, so I obtained my BS degree in Biology and Secondary Education. I taught 7th and 8th grade sciences for five years before staying home to be a full time mother and substitute teaching on the high school level for 3 more years. I operated a small daycare during m

I am able to relate to students using their learning style and references that connect them to the material for better success. I am patient and use my sense of humor to figure out how a student learns to get the best results. I do not believe that one method works for everybody. I have a lot of experience with students with learning challenges. I love it when a student says "Wow." I like to support and reward their path to understanding. It's best when you see that they are proud of themselves and they did it! After graduating with a double major in Psychology and English with an emphasis in Literature, I started my graduate work in English and a teaching position as a high school English teacher. I took education certification courses and passed the state exam for the State of Florida for middle school and high school English. I was an instructional aide for Adult Education at Martin C

I thoroughly enjoy teaching young minds. Regardless of the reason that student is seeking tutoring, whether it be a demonstrated deficiency in performance, or a desire to excel in the subject matter, tutoring is an ideal method to provide individualized instruction to the student and tailor that instruction for maximum efficacy. As a tutor, one may vary their teaching style from student to student and further modify their approach with each student dependent upon daily emotional and motivational changes of said student. In all, I am firm in my overall teaching style but am malleable to the exigencies of the moment and the aspect of individualization is the component of tutoring that appeals most to me. I am currently a doctoral candidate for my PhD in Organizational Leadership. I also hold a Masters degree in Human Relations, an applied social science; a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Stud

I am lawyer. I've also taught and tutored for approximately 2 years. Since I read and write for a living, I appreciate the beauty of words and the impact that a carefully placed word can make. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology and I've worked with many personality types in my professional life; as such, I work well with variant personality types. My teaching style is dynamic. I try to make all lessons interesting to capture the attention of my students. Typically, I teach the material for a short period in the beginning of the lesson, but focus my efforts on reinforcing the acquisition of knowledge and skill in the student through activities and cooperative discussion of the material. I enjoy what I do and the students benefit from my passion.

I have a BA degree from the University of Central Florida in Education and a current Florida Teaching Certificate. I have taught high school for 18 years before relocating. At that time I worked in the informal education field as an afterschool program teacher and manager of a educational programming business, educational director at a Museum and Nature Center and opened my own educational business for developing educational programs. I am currently working on my Masters of Education Degree and desire to move into the Instructional Design and Technology field. I have tutored privately for families throughout these years in the fields of Math, Science and English. I am a firm believer that every student given an opportunity has the ability to learn. They also must be given an opportunity to learn in the style in which they learn the best, be it visual, auditory or hands-on. I believe and

As a teacher of elementary mathematics, I understand how students of similar age can work on completely different levels. I believe to maximize comprehension, it is my duty to meet each student on his or her level and work from there. I have found that students learn differently and with different techniques and tools. As many of our students are technologically advanced, I incorporate this component into the learning process. For my visual learners, I provide visual cues. In all, I make what ever adjustments are necessary to meet each student on his or her level. As a student at the University of Miami, I studied anthropology and busines administration. I graduated from the University with my BA. I have over 8 years of administrative and financial experience working in the County government and at the University of Miami. My passion to work with the youth led me to make a career

As an undergraduate student, I was actively involved with various grade levels. When I completed my undergraduate studies, I received a job working with children from pre-kindergarten up to kindergarten. I then, proceeded to graduate level courses where I studied Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization with ELL students. I received both degrees, Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts, and then began teaching as an ESE Paraprofessional within Leon County School District. I have worked with Leon County Schools for about 3 years. I enjoy working with children of various ages and multiply subject areas. I enjoy working with all children, no matter their race, sex, orgin, or physical appearance. I believe each child learns at his/her own pace, but the concept of knowledge can very well be attained through consistency, determination, and dedication.

I began teaching at the age of 17+ before attending college. My entire career has been principally teaching and academic administration. My students have consistently expressed praise at the approach that I take. To begin with, I believe that the needs of the student are paramount. Imparting the material to the student requires an understanding of their level of readiness; as a result I always begin by attempting to establish past experience. Once this has been done I then outline objectives, however students are allowed to participate at every stage, thus there is ongoing interaction. Questions and answers, followed by discussion are used, and no effort is spared to ensure that students learn. My academic training includes Structural Engineering, Construction Management and Industrial/Vocational Education. I have only the dissertation outstanding for completing the PhD in Cons

The subject that students need the most help with is math. I have noticed the differences in difficulty when trying grasp mathematical concepts and have found ways to somewhat cater to their specific trouble areas. It is very important to give lots of examples and practice problems. I think it is most important that I make the student feel comfortable, that I am creative in my teaching methods, and that I ultimately teach the material to reach a full understanding. I started tutoring at a learning center where I tutored children ages 5-17. I tutored every subject including the FCAT test. I decided to offer private tutoring on my own and travel to the students' houses. I found that the students felt more comfortable and it also gave me chance to discuss the progress of the child with parents to a better extent. I then became involved with a program dealing with foster care childre
