I'm an alumnus of the University of Florida where I received my bachelors degree in painting. I have experience in Acrylic and Oil painting. If you would like to see my portfolio please visit www.mirlandterlonge.com. I love what I do and would love to assist with helping willing students find their own talents in art. I am a very energetic teacher and like to get my students excited about what we are about to do. I like to tell them the days objectives and work with them from there. I plan eventually to incorporate other art forms for example poetry, or music to evoke emotional responses to paint. But before I delve into any of that I would be very thorough about the fundamentals of painting. Helping them to understand the differences and similarities between painting and drawing and how they both require the ability of seeing and perceiving. I'm a recent alumnus of the University of Fl

I would be comfortable working with students using acrylic or tempera paint. I have tutored a wide variety students on many subjects. I am most experienced tutoring high school students for the SAT. I worked with Let's Get Ready, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing high school students for the SAT and their college search process. I typically tutored students for the Math section, but I am capable of tutoring for the Critical Reading and Writing sections as well. Some of my other tutoring experiences have been with middle and high school students. I have tutored several students in math, from middle school level general math to high school Calculus I. I have worked with younger students to improve their grammar and writing abilities. Furthermore, I have had a lot of less formal tutoring experiences with classmates through out my education. For many reasons, I usually do

I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida from the College of Education with a BA in Elementary Education. I entered the ProTeach program during my junior year at UF. I have been exposed to a lot of teaching strategies and ideas that have been used in the classroom from the past until the present. I had the opportunity to use these practices in actual classrooms by developing lesson plans to teach elementary students. I have the experience of being the teacher in the classroom and working with students one-on-one with reading and math. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree at the University of Florida in Elementary Education. I’m doing a full-time internship this semester in a 2nd grade classroom in Alachua County. I am very passionate about the job career I have chosen at the University of Florida. I take pride in being a highly qualified educator by being exposed to t

I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the time I do a lot of question/conversation responses to allow them to find the answer for themselves. I like a problem based learning style, even for the youngest of children. I not only want to teach them how to properly concur their learning material but how to find the information they need if they do not know the answer. Additionally, I want them to have fun and enjoy quality time with a supportive mentor and gain an enthusiasm for school. I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with children. Es

My teaching style is geared more towards each individual child. Some are auditory learners, some learn just by watching and still others require tactile stimulation in order to learn. I generally use a combination of all three focusing on the one that is strongest for each individual child. I believe with patience and understanding all children can and will learn. I have had wondeful teachers myself and strive to pattern myself after them to make a significant difference in each child's life. I look fondly back at those teachers because they have molded me to the person I am today. I graduated the City University of New York-Brooklyn College campus in February 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Special Educat ion/K-6 grade teaching skills. I have also raised two daughters, one graduating from Fordham University magna cum laude and completing her Master's Degree in Social Work f

I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the correct direction. I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of

Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from the University of Florida in May 2007. While I was earning my Bachelors’ degree I was a tutor for Upward Bound. I tutored high-school students in numerous areas including math, foreign language, reading, and test preparation. After graduation, I became a site coordinator for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. I tutored elementary aged students during my time with the Boys & Girls Clubs. Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed working with people; especially youth helping them become successful and build confidence in academics and other areas. When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching metho

My teaching style is very hands on. I believe that children learn best when they are afforded the opportunity to learn through a tangible means. I enjoy learning, and therefore try to instill that same appreciation for learning in those in which I have had the opportunity to teach. The most important lesson that I teach any of my students is related to helping them discover the ways in which they learn best. Only then can the ongoing process of learning begin. As a recent combined degree student from the University of Florida I have simultaneously pursued both Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Health Education at the University of Florida. I have also managed to obtain an overall grade point average of 3.5. I am also a recipient of the President's Award as a result of obtaining a 4.0 semester grade point average during my last semester. I have conducted obesity research for the College of

After working with children for several years, I believe that every child can learn and do great as long as they are shown patience, compassion, and are rewarded for their good work and improvement. I think that learning should be a fun experience that children should look forward to and that's what I strive for when I tutor. I want the children to have a good time learning because that's the most important part. I will help your child be the best that they can be and will work as hard as I can to do achieve this. I keep reading logs and activity logs for the children to measure their progress and many of them improved greatly as weeks went by when I have tutored. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in a Social Science from the University of Florida, I feel that I have gained a well rounded education in all areas including English, mathematics, biology and natural sciences.I am currently p

My teaching style would be best described as creative and improvisational. Because I work with students from such varied backgrounds, I believe that the best method is one that allows for flexibility and at the same time incorporates lessons from several fields at once. For example, in both my GED and ESOL courses I incorporate music into my lesson plans. I find that music is an excellent avenue to explore contemporary topics that can then lead to essay topics. At the same time, song lyrics are poetry and can be studied as such. As a student in the PhD program at the University of Florida, I have been very involved in academic pursuits. However, this personal endeavor reaches beyond my own experience as a student and extends into my professional work as an educator. I have been working in the field of Adult Education for students pursuing their GED diploma as well as Instructing courses

I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors degree in Neuroscience. This degree has allowed me to achieve a great understanding of the sciences. I have taken math classes up to Calculus 2 and a variety of science classes. In addition to this, I wrote my own thesis paper for a neuroscience laboratory that I worked in for two and a half years. This improved my writing skills, lab skills, and critical thinking skills immensely. In high school, I tutored after school calculus for a year while in college, I have tutored fellow peers in science and math classes in which they had difficulty. I love teaching one on one because I believe that is the most effective way to teach one person. By teaching one on one, you can focus on the student's personal weaknesses and strengths in the subject and mold your lessons to their benefit. My teaching style involves showing lots of example

I love working with children for the past 7 summer I have been a counselor at a resident summer camp for kids, we always have a great time. My teaching style is patient, calm, and considerate.

I like to learn where the student is (not the age/grade, etc) and build from there. Success for the student is very important because without confidence, we are all lost. I like to be organized with certain levels to be attained. Achieving those levels and goals sometimes calls for creativity and diversity. I like to think of myself as creative and adaptable. I have many materials which have proven to be very successful for building confidence and ability while filling in the missing gaps for the student. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I tutored children from the neighborhood so often, I decided to get paid for it. I received my Bachelor degree in Anthropology and my "lifetime" teaching credential (any self contained) from California. When I retired, I discovered I still wanted to teach. I was in Salt La

I just recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BS in Legal Studies and a minor in Sociology. While earning my degree I have retained many valuable skills such as writing, grammatical, and researching skills. I have a good understanding of math as well. My past experience with Big Brother Big Sister I worked as a mentor for elementary school girls where I tutored them in all subjects and found new ways to make learning a fun experience. I believe education is very important and all children have the ability to learn. All children just need that extra push to take them to that next level. I am that person. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I believe in bringing new and exciting ways to learn and catch and keep children attention and interest. I am available to help your child succeed in their learning.
