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). Some of my past students had learning disabilities, such as Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, or diagnosed as "Slow Learner." Several of these students were being medicated and were repeating at least one grade. 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. In addition to tutoring, I have proctored grade school students in various subjects and adult learners in the GED as well as employment exams.

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 have some experience with teaching writing skills at the middle school level and as part of the GED. 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. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, reading, and math. 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

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. During the past four years I have taught 2nd-adult English Language Learners and tutored K-adult students in all disciplines.

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

Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams. I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling wa

During my time as a student in the University of Florida's Proteach Program I had many opportunities to work in various classroom settings and ultimately receive a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in children's literature. Since my graduation in 2003, I have worked as a fourth grade teacher, a middle school teacher in a Montessori school, and an adjunct professor at St. Petersburg College. I have also worked as a private tutor. I have a strong background in literature and writing and feel prepared to work with students at every level. Maria Montessori, one of the most powerful women in the foundation of educational philosophy, once said "Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” Each child must be seen as the individual that they are. Special attention needs to be placed on a child's growth both physically and emotiona

While working toward my Associate's and Bachelor's degrees in education, I began working extensively with adults with disabilities. It was during this time that I discovered my love for the field of exceptional student education. Since then I have received my Master's in Special Education. I have held classroom teaching positions in early childhood education as well as early childhood special education. Currently, I am teaching an Emotionally Handicapped class for the School Board of Pinellas County. My teaching style is based on the belief that student instruction should be individualized to insure the highest student achievement for all children. My lessons are hands-on, engaging activities that incorporate individual learning styles, interests, and past experiences. I believe that the opposite of strength is not weakness, but rather an area for improvement.

I have always had the desire to teach within me since I was little. I did explore other career areas in high school but always ended back at teaching. I believe this to be because I was created with a heart that loves learning and loves people, two of my greatest passions on Earth. Every single person on this planet deserves an equal opportunity to learn, no matter economic or social status. Learning opens endless doors that lead to endless possibilities and I teach with this in mind. I do have specific expectations for my students - to be respectful, responsible, and independent. These expectations provide a safe learning environment and allow for high student achievement in both academics and society. I also aim to teach to each student individually, based on who they are as a person and as a student, so every student may reach their highest potential. I have always enjoyed the

Having taught for the past 15 years has enabled me to hone my teaching style, which is mainly an instructor-centered approach. I believe students need to have a focus to be successful learners. It is the teacher who guides the student to have a focus. To focus a student to a particular task, skill, or strategy the teacher needs to fully explain the task, skill, or strategy. Students don’t retain much information when they are told; they need scaffolds and supports to process information. As teachers we need to...” ask ourselves whether we are explaining or telling.” Students need to be aware of the thinking process of the teacher whom demonstrates and models what is expected (skills and processes) and then acts as a coach or guide to assist the students in applying the knowledge. This style encourages student participation and utilizes various learning styles Since receiving my Elemen

As a result of my classroom being both student-centered and a place where learning is enjoyable, the educational opportunities I give my students are varied. Learners and the learning process are very complex. I believe that there is no one formula for teaching that fits all situations or all students. For this reason I believe that a variety of approaches thoughtfully geared to both the content to be learned and individual students is the best way to structure a learning program. As a graduate student from Mercy College,I was given the opportunity to work in New York City. I have recieved a master's degree in elementary education and a bachelors degree in psychology. I also had the opportunity to work and study in Europe which was a wonderful experience. Through my different experiences, I have learned a variety of teaching methods and tools and adapted those styles within my teaching.
