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

Experienced with writing rubrics,administration and scoring papers. 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. 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.

I have some experience with teaching writing skills at the middle school level and as part of the GED. My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment. I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents.

Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams. 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 we

I have tutored students in many subjects, including language arts, math, science, and reading. I have worked with students under NCLB and with FCAT (Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test program).

I was able to help them with their educational needs. I have an extensive academic background, possessing AA, BA, and MA degrees. I have a reputation for high personal integrity and positive results. All of my students have made significant improvements as I worked with them.

I began working with children at the age of 10 in the capacity of babysitter/activities director. As a teen I began working in daycare centers and have worked in the capacity of teacher/assistant teacher/ director/owner. I have taught public school in Florida and the Bronx, NY over the past 5 years. I have worked as a drop-out prevention teacher and have had the privileged to work with a large number of disadvantaged and at-risk students. I have strong classroom management skills and a passion for helping kids gain a better understanding for anything under the sun! I have high expectations of what my students can do, and help support them in achieving those expectations. My philosophy is that "can't" is the worst 4 letter word in the dictionary, as a result, I work to motivate my students to become life long learners and to enjoy learning new things.

I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i

I have worked with children and adults in a dozen venues over the last 20 years. With experience, I have become much more Socratic in my method. I endeavor to minimize my presence, thereby allowing the students an arena for true exploration and discovery. My role is to provide a setting where the goal of input is to maintain the student's forward motion. This is accomplished by questions, minimal corrections, and questioning the thought behind student action, so that he/she has an opportunity to use critical thinking skills to self-correct. It is my goal that every student will not just go through motions to get the answers 'right' but have an understanding of the learning process that will last his/her lifetime. My experience in the educational field is more varied than my resume indicates. What is not indicated is that during my years as an elementary level teacher (K-8), it was not un

I have earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education as well as my master's equivalency +34 additional graduate credits. I am a resourceful educator who combines an in-depth knowledge of both reading and math to create environments that stimulate the cognitive and creative growth of students. Patience, empathy, enthusiasm, creativity and flexibility are just a few of the characteristics that enable me to help each student meet success at their given level. Even though I am a retired teacher, I would like to continue working with students because of my passion for teaching.

I am a very passionate and dedicated teacher. I strive to be a positive role model for my students and I provide compassion that children need at such a fragile stage in life. I believe that children learn best when engaged and involved in the learning process. I provide goals to children and hold them accountable for their learning. Children need positive encouragement and timely and constructive feedback. I want to place a positive, lasting impression on my students and give children a positive view towards learning early on in life. As a graduate at Baldwin-Wallace College, I was very equipped for a teaching position in the Elementary level. I spent many hours in the classroom during my college experience and received a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Reading Endorsement. My teaching experience continued when I got a position as a first grade teacher at Guy B. Teachey El
