As a contented student at Full Sail University, I am pursuing a Master's in Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I volunteer for Graduate Honors research in Latino/a Caribbean Studies at the University of South Florida, and serve as a freelance consultant for an aspiring media entertainment company. In addition, my Bachelor’s Degree in Literary Studies, Associates Degree in Education, and professionally polished communication skills are invaluable as a tutor. I have learned to be disciplined and skilled in the acquisition of critical thinking, written communication, analysis, logic and reasoning. To be literate and articulate in various languages is not only handy, but eases the transition of language barriers which allows me to continually acquire polished skills in all forms of expression. Possessing strong academic qualifications and leadership give me the advantage in helping others. I off

After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD).

The experience I have gained while studying Education and Psychology, along with administrating exams for Wonderlic Scholoastic Testing and tutoring has enabled me to learn through understanding, hard work and dedication. I have learned through extensive courses in Psychology on how we learn, education courses that break learning down, and working with children and adolescence for over ten years with tutoring and patience, that with the proper tools and guidance, anything can be achieved. I believe that implementing the right tools, along with clearly stating what the student needs to learn, along with discussion, will ensure student success.Using multisensory resources, creatively using the newly formed knowledge, along with pre-testing will foster memory and recall.

I have been a full-time tutor since 2009, and have worked with almost 500 students! I specialize in making concepts clear and meaningful by adapting my tutoring to each student's individual learning style and experiences. I also use many hands-on materials and provide concise notes pages to give students the tools to be able remember and apply the material we have worked on. I tutor in my home, in Palm Harbor (off Tampa Rd., near Belcher), and have converted the front part of my home into a tutoring studio, where I provide a quiet, distraction-free, positive learning environment with many hands-on materials and other resources. I am incorporated as Seeds of Knowledge Tutoring, but it is strictly a one-woman business! I see clients six days/week (Sundays – Fridays), and have appointments available from 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM. I offer sessions that are 1, 1.5, or 2 hours in length. The

I believe that all children can learn and are eager to learn if they are properly engaged in the material. If children are shown things within the subject matter that they can latch onto and find interesting, if learning is made stress-free and enjoyable for them, then they will learn and be excited about learning. I strive to make learning an enjoyable process, and to teach children things they may not have heard about before, and will always remember. An example of this is when I taught a unit on the Salem witch trials to my 4th and 5th grade students at Lake Eola Charter School...a subject they had not heard of before and found fascinating....and then to cap the lesson, I directed the children in a modified production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, which we performed for their parents.

Communication and expectations are the top priorities in my repertoire of teaching strategies. I am able to communicate a sense of self-esteem in my students tempered with humor. They know I value them as human beings. In my experience young people are willing to live up to the expectations a good teacher demands. I use a direct, no nonsense approach and have found it extremely successful in all teaching environments. After having lived in Germany, teaching ESL in a middle school, I returned to the United States to teach in the Irving Independent School District in Irving, Texas. During that time I taught German, French and Spanish to middle and high school students. Subsequently, I was offered a teaching position for the Department of Dependent Schools, which is managed by the Department of Defense Education Activity. I taught Study Skills and German for three years in the Ramst

My teaching style varies according to the type of student. I have tutored at-risk students with attention and behavioral issues. With these types of students, they are indifferent about math, and I have to get them excited and interested by a rewards system. I get these students involved by putting the chalk in the student’s hand and have them explain the material to me, rather than lecturing to them, which results in their daydreaming. If they succeed, they get rewarded. With students who are willing to learn but are having difficulty understanding the material, I am persistent and supportive. I break complex materials down into pieces and work step by step so that students can reach their full potential. I recently graduated with a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech. At Tech, I volunteered three hours per week to tutor SAT's to immigrant stude

As the child of two educators, I am passionate that education can make a difference in people's lives. I believe in a constructivist approach to teaching and learning. It is my job as a teacher and tutor to discover students' strengths and weaknesses and build upon their strengths. Through the activation of prior knowledge and the connection to personal experience, I have seen students achieve great success in a variety of academic disciplines. I am currently a graduate student at USF, Tampa, in the English Education department. I have a temporary Florida educator's certificate in English 6-12. I have worked with students ranging from "at-risk" 1st graders, to professional adults returning to school. I have worked for The Princeton Review as an SAT, NSAT, and GRE teacher/tutor and have been self-employed as a private tutor for reading, writing, French, math, and intermediate science. In

I am employed with Hillsborough County Schools but have taken a medical leave to help with my father who has cancer through the Summer. I am listed as a Highly Qualified Teacher. I have been teaching for the past thirteen years and have been in the field of ESE for ten years. I have experience working with children who have a wide variety of disabilities such as Autism, Emotional Handicapped, Educable and Trainable Mentally Handicapped. It is my desire and passion to work with children in need of extra time and nurturing to help them have success in school and build their self-esteem by showing them that they can learn, they can do it! I believe that every child is unique in how they learn and grow. I believe that in order to do my best in educating our children then I must continue to educate myself.

I just graduated about eight months ago with a B.S. in Biomedical Science from USF. I plan on going to medical school in 2010 and I am currently studying for my MCAT. Studying for this exam has helped me to gain both a further understanding of the sciences from my undergraduate studies (chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy/physiology, etc.) as well as how the sciences relate to and build off one another. I also am a very skilled writer and avid reader. I have extensive writing experience in both general writing (i.e. for English class) and scientific writing (i.e. lab reports and abstracts) styles. I have tutored children between the ages of 5-12 as part of an afterschool program and I have participated in many peer writing review programs at both the University of Miami and University of South Florida.

As an SLD certified teacher, I have learned to adapt my teaching style to meet the learning needs of each student. I currently teach developmental reading to 8th graders and they will learn to read. Each child can learn and every teacher needs to make it their responsibility to reach each and every child. I am an excellent secondary English, Reading, and Social Studies teacher and I can teach any elementary gifted or special education student. I began tutoring in high school when I was VP of Y-teens, an organization sponsored by the YMCA. I tutored all through my college years and I still tutor in after school programs after my professional teaching day is complete. I am an excellent teacher and I love assisting students to succeed.
