Recent College Grad, Working on Becoming a Certified Teacher

Recent college graduate with school-aged nephews whom I help with school work, one of my nephews has ADHD. Took all honors classes in school, including multiple AP classes (AP Biology, AP Environmental, and AP Literature). In college I majored in both Criminology and Psychology, so I have a lot of expertise there. I have never received below a 93% on a paper (including my time spent at FSU, in which I wrote A LOT of papers)
Creative, kind, patient

My comments on tutoring English : Wyzant certified in English; 690 SAT - Verbal score.

I bring a friendly and patient approach to tutoring. I know hiring a tutor can be a challenging process and a tough decision to make. Accordingly, I promise to make the lessons as enjoyable as possible, while ensuring you (or your child) truly understand the material. I owe it to my students to make the material fun and interesting.
I have over 5000 hours (nearly 10 years) of tutoring experience, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT and other selected subjects. I have been helping high school and college students get accepted to undergraduate and graduate programs all over the United States, including UF, Michigan, Stanford, FSU, UCF, and many others. My first teaching experience was with the Department of Juvenile Justice when I was fresh out of college. It was, believe it or not, a lot of fun! When I went on to Law School I was fortunate enough to be selected as a Teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to bring a combination of educational and professional experience to every session to allow people to understand the world around us.
My name is Perry Miles. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring and have attended some of the best schools in the country. I went to the Newhouse School (at Syracuse University) and studied broadcast journalism to get my bachelors Degree before earning my Masters in Health Informatics from USF Tampa this past December. Since I have moved from the Northeast to Florida, I have been able to help students prepare for the school year and improve grades in all areas. I try to combine my educational background with my professional experience to interest the students and help them apply knowledge. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send an email to perrym86@gmail.com or call me at (718) 309-4242.

My comments on tutoring English : FCAT, Stanford-10, ACT, SAT

I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading. During the past four years I have taught 2nd-adult English Language Learners and tutored K-adult students in all disciplines.
Helping learners find solutions to their problems is my passion. My greatest strength is compassion. I believe that anyone can achieve. I enjoy helping others discover their innate joy of learning. I thrive on seeing the "light" in a learner's eyes. It drives me with a determination to find the best way to help each individual become a lifelong learner.

Everyone deserves to love learning!

I am a recent graduate, having majored in biology and environmental studies. During my time in college I also had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for a genetics lab and took part in an environmental education program in New Hampshire. My science and liberal arts background makes the the ideal candidate to teach a variety of subjects in ways that are interesting and informative to students.
Relaxed, informal- students each learn in their own way, my objective is to learn from about an individual and cater to their own educational needs.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.I do and I get it.

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.

"Half of knowledge is knowing where to find it."

Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.
After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.

My comments on tutoring English : English is my native language. And am experienced in teaching it and knowing the rules.

When you choose me as your tutor you are getting the advantage of not only my teaching skills but the benefit from my private Life Coaching Practice. In my practice I work with all types of people coaching them to sound thinking and to positive goals for success. For over 30 years I have been teaching, writing and administering basic life skills in all levels of learning in all aspects of Communications which have included: visualization, non-verbal skills, speaking, writing, teaching basic computer skills, assertive listening skills, conversation etiquette and public speaking. Most people are totally unaware that there is such a thing as developing good conversation etiquette. I have worked with elementary children, as well as my own, high schoolers, college students helping them with resumes, essays, reports, and thesis, and adults who were taking adult education.

Accomplished English/ESOL/Russian Tutor

My approach to tutoring is that all students are capable of learning. Kids often benefit from a fresh perspective and it is my job to make them more confident again. I try to explain to the students that once the rules are understood it becomes simple to get to the final result. To start my tutoring processing, I try to identify what is needed to improve the defiance of the student. Then I try to see what method works best for the student. Thirdly, I go over the rules for the subject and write those down for the student to use as a guide to solve problems. And fourthly, we work at similar exercises of my own or from the book. I also provide references to material that can help advance the student knowledge. I believe in repetition, using new words or rules in a language environment, connected with the student’s personal experience or attitude, which enables a student to memorize th ... read more

Experienced language arts and English language instructor

I taught language arts for one year at Middleton High School in Tampa; 2005-2006. I've served several long-term assignments as a substitute teacher: the latest involved taking over the classes of a fashion marketing teacher as well as a sports marketing class. I also tutored over seven students -ages ranging from 7 to 14 -in home settings and taught several after-school programs for a local elementary school.
I feel far more effective teaching one on one

My comments on tutoring English : Taught English subject at high school level

Prefer one-on-one instructional situations. However, I'm proven as a classroom instructor as well. My style leans toward promoting higher level thinking whenever possible.
Offer ten years of combined corporate communications and recent teaching experience. Taught the language arts at a large high school in Tampa until 2006. Asked to instruct one-to-one, often, in my current position with Kelly Staffing Services -substitute teaching division. Received a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
