More About This Tutor...

Currently I attend Florida State University and I am majoring in Elementary Education. I have worked with many children throughout the years including a summer camp which I helped students attending summer school with homework and volunteering in 1st and 2nd grade classrooms where I worked with children.
Whatever I feel works best with the student.

English Comp, Sociology, History

I hold an MA in sociology with a minor in history. My primary focus in sociology is race and ethnicity, social theory, and political sociology. I am a current PhD student in history with a focus on European and Middle Eastern history. I also have over ten years experience teaching English language in the US and abroad.
You can expect my teaching style to be very interactive. I believe learning should not be done to you, but you should actively learn. Therefore, my approach is hands-on, not ears on!

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

More About This Tutor...

The best way to describe my teaching style without being technical is to state that at teachers' college, I took the top prize in teaching technique after being observed in the classroom by two university professors. At the university level, I discovered that my classes were always full, and I discovered subsequently through the grapevine that the students were saying that "this guy is really funny; take his class, for you are going to learn through fun."
Teaching has been my career ever since I entered a primary classroom at age 16 and finished teaching graduate and undergraduate students. I was trained as a teacher at The Leewards Teachers' Training College (in Antigua), an affiliate of University of the West Indies (Jamaica). As a Primary and Secondary School teacher, I taught English Grammar, Mathematics, and the Social Sciences. Although I have strong mathematical skills, I pr ... read more

"Knowledge is power & enthusiasm pulls the switch" -S. Droke

I have my A.A. degree in Theatre and Communications and will be receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing with a minor in Film Studies in December of 2012. I have experience with children ranging from grades K-12th. I have been a Teacher's Aide since 2004 and a Summer Counselor since 2006. I am also bilingual and although it is not on my list for tutor availability, I do have experience in the language barriers concerning English and the Spanish language. I am Cuban American and wouldn't trade that for the world. It allows me to enjoy the cultures around me as well as given me a thirst to explore new ones. I look forward to helping someone else do that same!

My comments on tutoring Composition : I enjoy assisting others in the learning process and I am very patient. I have experience working with children/adults of varying ages.

Get to know me and let's discuss your needs.
I have worked with the following populations throughout the many years of professional experience: mental health patients - (children & adults), special needs, developmentally disabled, people with learning disabilities, those with ADD/ADHD, Children, Adolescents, and Adults of varying ages and skill sets. I know some sign language so I am able to communicate with others who have little to no hearing. I have worked within the schools and have experience aiding students. I am very flexible and willing to adjust for the needs of the student and meet them where they are in the learning process.

Super tutor!

I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the student becomes engaged in the learning process.
I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Vo ... read more

Out with the old in with the new! Get a tutor today!

Repetitious in manner.
My experience has been primarily with children within my school or those around my neighborhood. I find that children are more capable of learning in a stable environment that they are familiar with. Children respond well with well timed incentives and subtle reprimands of lost focus. Students are more likely to acknowledge a lack of concentration skills once their intelligence is put into question. Under my tutoring students are able to concentrate more and see an improvement in their grades. Ill behaved children are more likely to round out their behavior once an appropriate hobby is acquired for them and holds their interests. All materials should be produced based on the individual child's rights.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in Education. I will be graduating this fall. Fall of 2014 I spent the semester tutoring a 12 y.o. girl in the English Language. This meant reading stories and answering questions about them, going over vocabulary, and learning new concepts. I have worked with children from elementary school through high school.

My comments on tutoring Composition : Composition is essential in getting your point across. There are not many jobs that do not require some type of communication in writing, so you must have sound composition skills! Get them here!

I hold a Bachelors in English with a minor in Philosophy and Religion. I have years of experience in business writing and in creative writing and poetry; some work in advertising and PR as well. I read books for money, forecasting pre-publication fiction for the trade magazine Publisher's Weekly. English is the most beautiful, malleable and useful language on earth! Whatever you learn now will greatly assist you in school and in the job market of the future.

I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentoring, and tutoring. I have taught high school and college students on and off since 1986 and have had several students go on to VERY successful careers, perhaps one of the best ways to evaluate ones ability as a teacher. My most recent success (2006-07) was a 7th grade C and B student who had straight A's after only two months of working together and finished 7th grade with straight A's. Her confidence level increased dramatically (as noted by her family and friends) and she now has set her sights on Harvard as a real possibility someday.
I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching has long been a passionate calling of mine. I am motivated to help students of all ages to succeed academically and to overcome learning obstacles. I am patient, and simply cannot be discouraged in my efforts to make any topic understandable and enjoyable. Math is my particular favorite. I love seeing confidence grow in students as they build their math skills and discover that problem-solving is fun! I believe that every learning setting, whether in a classroom or a tutoring session, should be a safe place that is free from fear of failure. It's important to me to establish a good rapport with my students, and I find this generally comes naturally because I truly care about their success.
I have a B.S. in Computer Studies and have spent the last 19 years as a computer programmer. I have great tech skills, including the Microsoft Office applications. I am proficient ... read more
