My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : I grew up in Florida, so I am familiar with the content.

Although I have never tutored professionally, I have had extensive experience tutoring friends and family in need. I am experienced in tutoring young children as well as classroom peers at my level. I have two bachelor degrees from UCF, Bio-medical Science and Psychology, and I feel confident in my ability to help anyone learn. I'm looking to earn extra money while completing my Master's degree at UCF.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.
I have taught kindergarten for several years. I have taught beginning readers in kindergarten, as well as reading comprehension to older students.I have homeschoole ... read more

Online Music Lessons and Elementary Test Prep/Homework Help

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparing ... read more

Individual & Group Tutoring. Project-Based Enrichment

I have extensive experience as a k-12 and adult teacher of all subjects (excepting advanced math and science) and as a teacher of technology to all ages, including technophobes:) I offer specific subject tutoring, as well as project-based enrichment programs tailored to a student's interest. My experience is wide-ranging. I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught English/Language Arts for approximately 10 years, from 6th grade level through Freshman College. My strengths are in reading, writing instruction and vocabulary development. I have also tutored for SAT/ACT and FCAT prep. My goal with each student is to determine where their particular hurdles lie and tailor an appropriate and effective strategy to surmount them.
Tutoring provides the opportunity to teach in a way the traditional classroom rarely can; that precious one on one attention to a particular student's individual learning style, strengths and stumbling blocks. Often, a student's success depends less upon who their tutor is, than simply having a tutor at all. My experience with very academically challenged students has demonstrated that I seem to have a knack for finding the "sweet spot" that turns on the lights. Tutoring lets you know every day that you'r ... read more

Teaching is an art. It can and does vary for each individual. When I teach, I first attempt to assess what type of learner the child is. What causes the child to become a sponge? My goal is to provide the best understanding of the material possible. I firmly believe that with a if you allow the person to do the work and just simply facillitate them, they will come to realize they more than likely know alot more than they originally thought. This process helps to boost self-esteem which can at times are shown by the grades of the students after our tutoring sessions and even during.
As a future physician, working with people I find is necessary in order to be as efficient in every way possible. In the last five years, I have enjoyed working with kids of all ages as a tutor to middle school kids in high school, and then a tutor to college kids when at Valencia, and then as a tutor fo ... read more

While earning my degree in physics at the University of Central Florida I found that tutoring was an excellent experience for both my students and me. I have tutored many different subjects including math(from algebra to differential equations), astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology. I taught middle school students through presentations of physics in films. I also aided my student in their research papers and power point presentations as I feel comprehension and writing skills are an important part of science. I truly enjoyed doing this and hope to continue tutoring and teaching.
Throughout my years of tutoring I have found that there are many different ways that people learn. Once you figure this out learning is easy and enjoyable. I first go over what my students have been doing to learn and study the material. Once we have established their individual learning style, we go o ... read more

I find it a lot easier to teach something you're passionate about. I have helped tutor people before in subjects outside my major, but couldn't give much insight. In those instances I just helped develop better organization and study skills. I also have experience working with special needs children and teenagers.
I have a lot of experience tutoring friends and classmates throughout my college career. There are a couple students I have worked with for a couple of years, who are people I met through school and work. I mainly tutored in English Composition and English Literature, as it is my main area of study and I'm very experienced in it. I'm back at UCF now as an English Major and am taking classes in Communication Disorders because I eventually would like to work in Special Education. I have a lot of patience and a great understanding of how to help people learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy teaching and tutoring because not only am I helping others, I am learning as well. Teaching and tutoring are about giving: giving your time, your knowledge, and the things that you know will help your students. Every student learns at his/her own pace. My teaching style is adaptive to the particular student and subject matter. I like to encourage students to learn for themselves. An example would be to explain a theory and then have the student(s) demonstrate their understanding of that theory with a concrete example, so that they are participating in the process. I like the idea of learning by participation.
Both my undergraduate and graduate collegiate experiences have given me ample knowledge and skills to draw from with regard to teaching and tutoring. The experience of doing it, however, gave me much more. While I was in graduate school at the Universit ... read more

I have been a full-time instructor of 8th Grade Language Arts in preparing lessons and then instructing in the classroom. A major part of this experience has been in grading written reports, determining what areas are strong or weak, and then creating new and exciting ways to help the students achieve the next level in their writing and reading. I have also instructed students in Reading for Enjoyment and have a strong passion for the Language Arts. I have a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, which includes: English, Humanities and Behavioral Science. I have found that these three areas go very well together and have helped me become a better teacher.
I love seeing children grasp a new concept or create something new. Each student is so different, which is why I feel that having time with a mentor or tutor is essential to understanding their specific needs. Creating goals is another ... read more

Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother taught high school English for 15 years and my husband is also a high school teacher. Students must believe in themselves and their abilities in order to succeed. My approach to teaching is very methodical. I teach skills that build on one another. Students are able to see immediate successes for themselves, which builds their confidence and ignites their own desires to do well. Whether basic reading and writing skills need to be tackled or if you'd like to see reading and writing skills taken to the next level, my experience and teaching methods will get you there.
After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a BA in English, my first job was developing, writing, and implementing courses that taught adults how to use computer software programs. I took two years off from work to be home with my first daugh ... read more
