Experience Summary
I have a strong educational and professional background and I am interested in tutoring opportunities. As a "younger" [no pun intended] recent retiree [retired Oct. 2006], I am looking for an opportunity that enables flexibility, variety in scope, is interesting, challenging and, leverages my many skills, which excelled me in my past professional career. Over the past 20 or so years, I have experience in coaching, mentoring, and teaching students and adults. Also, I have experience with Junior Achievement and United Way and, I currently Chair the teenage volunteers at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Reading, English and elementary Math are my strengths. And, for higher-level students, business, and career coaching is a great fit.
Teaching Style
I thoroughly enjoy being around and working with children. I also like to make parents feel at ease and use my ability to speak conversational Spanish with those who are more comfortable in that language to gain a rapport. My teaching style consists of detail orientation and explanation in an energetic delivery. I am concise in articulation and extremely patient. I like for those I teach to be comfortable and engaged and I find ways to do that without adversely impacting the learning environment. I make learning fun.
