Florida Tutors

I believe that every person can learn any subject with enough exposure and practice. I have seen the impact that a passionate teacher can have on a student, even inspiring them to aspire towards a goal that they never felt confident in pursuing.
I believe that every child and person can succeed. My goal is to help students tap into this ability to be successful. Success creates an inner motivation to keep learning, and through creating stepping stones that result in success, I feel students will realize that learning can be fun and rewarding.
My approach to teaching is to work with students to help them understand the underlying concepts that can be confusing. Working one-on-one or in small group settings is ideal for digesting complex ideas and for sharing interpretations. Often I find it to be beneficial to all when groups work together to solve a problem. Thus, as an educator, I like to work with my students to find weak spots and to strengthen them in that area, one step at a time.

Chalk Talk: Playing by the Rules

One thing that teachers have to do that can sometimes be difficult is to generate comments describing how students are doing in class. Such comments may be ready-made, with teachers being able to select applicable ones for each student, but they are more credible if they are personalized by the teacher. These comments may appear on report cards, progress reports, notes to parents, etc. What kind of information should these comments contain? The most important thing is to make sure that the comment tells exactly what the student is doing well. Parents want to know how their children are doing, so it is important to be as specific as possible. A comment such as “the child does good work in the class” is too generic. When it comes to describing above-average students, teachers of course should comment on how they are excelling academically. Perhaps they are fluent readers who are able to comprehend what they are reading; such specific skills should be emphasized in the comments.
