CLAST Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vero Beach, FL

I have years of experience teaching in which I have seen children with learning difficulties rise to the top of the class. I believe all children can succeed with a supportive, firm, and caring teacher to instruct them, support them, and help build their confidence. I am calm, caring, easy-going, and positive. I enjoy teaching and seeing your child grow and learn things he or she may not have thought possible. I have a total of four years experience teaching. I have taught all subjects and all ages in private schools and public schools. I have experience teaching challenging students as I have taught in a Level 10 Juvenile Justice Facility for nearly two years. I have tutored elementary children as well and have references available upon request. My certifications cover all subjects up to the middle school level and exceptional education for K-12.

I have an Interdisciplinary Social Science degree from the University of South Florida. While attending college, I worked as a nanny/tutor for 2 years. My time involved tutoring a young boy in all school subjects in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Not only did I help him with homework, but I also helped him learn study skills and organizational strategies. During the 2 years I spent with him, he went from a “B” student to an” A” student. I have knowledge in most school subjects, but I do especially well in anything involving history, geography, and basic math. I love spending time with children and teaching them new things. It is exciting to see children learn and make progress in school. When dealing with a child that I do not know, I like to have them talk. I think talking to children about anything, not just school, can help form a relationship with them. I also like the parents to be invo

I have been trained and always believed that all students can learn, under the right instructional forms. I use a variety of teaching styles to reach all of my students. Hands on, power points, lectures, movies, worksheets, diagrams, and even realouds provide learning for each individual in a different way. Exposing these learning methods to all students helps them find the best choice for them, while learning to learn through other methods. After graduating from high school, I felt that I could return to the high schools to provide a more engaging, caring education to many more students. Throughout the past fifteen years, I have taught various levels from gifted to varying exceptionalities, coached several sports, and enjoyed participating in many after school clubs and organizations. Since completing my masters degree, I want to continue to educate as many students as possible to

I never give up on a child or an adult. I recently tutored a law enforcement official to help him understand and pass algebra. He didn't think anyone could help him. The schools told me my son would never learn to read or write. He is my only child out of four who reads lengthy books for pleasure. Everyone has a different style of learning. My teaching methods I alter to suit those needs. I spent three years trying to help my dyslexic son learn to read one sentence. I have patience and I love helping people. I am also a volunteer crisis counselor for the local police department. I took every math course offered by a 4 year college, student taught for one 6 week session, and took some educational courses. After home educating my 4 children for 17 years, I returned to school to complete an AA degree in liberal arts and a BA degree in sociology. I now work as a math teacher working wi

I have had the experience of being taught by wonderful, kind, caring, and patient teachers. I have also experienced the teachers who are harsh, impatient, and ridiculing. Through these experiences, I realized that I learned much more through the teachers who were patient and caring. The teacher makes all the difference. Teachers are extremely important in molding and shaping the learning lives of their students. I strive to make learning fun and exciting, because a child/student who is having fun will want to learn more and not just the bare minimum to get by. These skills will last a lifetime. I know that each child/student learns differently, therefore, in my approach to teaching, I try to discern their learning style and best suit my teaching to fit that style. Children/students need exposure to a wide variety of concepts and in a wide variety of mediums. I am committed to prov

My teaching experience got its roots by substituting for the Martin County School District while attending Florida Atlantic University in pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree. After getting my BA in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Minor in English, I studied for and passed my certification exam for a temporary teaching certificate and subsequently taught at the Elementary level in the St.Lucie County School District. Each person, regardless of race, religion or socio-economic background is entitled to and should not be denied an education. Children should learn appropriate skills in the age-appropriate environment, and should be challenged to meet and achieve higher learning practices. Learning methods vary depending on how individuals perceive and utilize information; therefore various tools of learning should be implemented to facilitate various needs. I rely on tested theories and practi

I taught high school for one year and middle school for a year and a half. I was certified to teach social studies 6-12, though I have let my certification expire. I have worked with middle school students for the past four years in an administrative and service capacity. I am an ex-Member of the Florida House of Representatives and have informally many students at the middle school level. My degree is is in Business, but my passion is social studies and reading. Teaching is enjoyable to me, but the bureaucracy of the school systems is not. I believe that there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to helping students learn. My children attended Montessori school during their elementary school years, and benefitted greatly from that method of education. They were treated as individuals and it well prepared them for the next steps in their educations. One of my children is a Jud

I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and whole group studious conditions. At all academic levels at Elmira College, I helped students to succeed at their scholarly endeavors. As a parent, I guided own daughters to be successful learners. This makes me an excellent candidate to help the next generation to be set on the pathway to thrive in their life vision. My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies
