I have worked with youth for the past eight years, beginning with my volunteer work as a camp counselor with my community 4-H group. I have since worked as summer camp staff; lead tutor for a private tutoring company; case manager with a focus on academic improvement, college preparation and dropout prevention; and most recently as a kindergarten and third grade English teacher. Because I have worked with children who came to the US as refugees from developing countries, I am very comfortable working with diversity. I have spent time working and studying outside the US and speak advanced Spanish and basic Arabic. Because of my extensive writing experience as a freelance journalist, I am very comfortable tutoring even the highest level of English or writing. I have bachelor degrees in Spanish and International Studies from the University of South Florida, both of which are magna cum ... read more

With a BA in communications and a minor in sociology, I have an understanding in many subject areas such as, english, history, speech and media. As a graduate student I have extensive experience in writing papers and doing extensive research. I have worked as a newsroom researcher in the past. I am currently working on my graduate Thesis as well. I have experience in teaching students in elementary school up to the college level. At Long Island University I have worked as a graduate assistant, and a Tutor. I also have experience in working with students in after school programs.
I am a very hands on person, who believes that with patience each person can learn. Some people must understand that each person learns in a different way. I do not believe that people should compare one child to the next, because it is unfair.

Last spring I graduated from the University of Florida Romance Languages and Literatures Department with a BA in French. Notably, I was one of only two students to graduate with honors. Not only am I a qualified tutor as a result of my strong academic capabilities and background due to writing extensive research papers in both French and English, but I also have a wide variety of experiences. I have tutored and/or taught students from nearly every age group and background including: elementary, middle, high school and college students to sixty years old adults. Since my freshman year of college, I have been teaching and tutoring a wide range of subjects including elementary to college level French, English and ESL, basic mathematics, test-taking and study skills. In addition, I worked at the University of Florida Career Resource Center helping students draft and revise resumes, co ... read more

My teaching style is direct, disciplined, relaxed and conversational. It will not work to just dictate to a student! The point, I think, in tutoring, is to develop good study habits and identify and discard the bad ones. Once we know what works, we can proceed from there. It is also a question of knowing that studying can be made interesting and fun. Most high schools serve up tedious, boring curricula in tedious, boring ways. Yes, there are some things that need to be memorized, there is some brain sweat involved, but overall I believe that my education is expansive enough to offer a new way that can rejuvenate your child's interest in learning and the subject matter involved.
My teaching experience was ultimately a learning experience for me. While attending Brown University to get my MFA in Fiction Writing, I also got the opportunity to teach two college courses in my d ... read more

I have spent the last eight years in school earning a Bachelors degree and will be earning my Doctorate in Chiropractic in March 2011. During this time I have tutored numerous subjects ranging from science to world history.
I am excited about helping children grow in an academic environment. I personally feel each child has their own way of learning and developing their skills that will help them in their future. I look forward to being a part of this process.

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the years, I have volunteered in orphanages in Central America, worked as a camp counselor and a soccer coach in Canada, tutored English in illiteracy centers in Dominica and tutored various subjects in school settings in Canada and USA. From all of my experiences, I discovered the diversity and unique qualities that each child possesses. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child so he/she can reach their personal academic goals and learn topics that they may have once seen to be impossible. I believe my simple yet thorough teaching style, enthusiasm and patience when working with students and vast experience in tutoring will help your child feel more confident and as a result, succeed academically.
I have had the opportunity to tutor students in various subjects (eg. math, biology, English, science). I have also had the privilege to work with stude ... read more

I tell my friends that teaching is the best thing that I've ever done, and it continues to be a challenging and rewarding experience. Teaching high school can be especially difficult because many of the students are reluctant. This requires teachers to breathe life into their subjects. I use my energy and passion to relate the material, creating activities such as acting out a scene from a book. Critical thinking is the ultimate goal of my classes. No one piece of information could be as valuable as teaching someone how to think. I am also a firm believer in teaching responsibility as a means to create life-long learners. Assignments are designed to allow the students to create their own understanding while working within the constructs of the curriculum.

I believe that all children have strengths and weaknesses. As an educator I have to encourage students to focus on their strengths while assisting them with those areas that cause them difficulty. There should never be a point when a child cannot learn. Children can learn anything given the right instruction and environment that caters to their needs.
As a family and consumer science educator I have taught many different courses and a diverse population of students. I have taught clothing and fashion, food and nutrition, international and regional foods, culinary arts, life skills, and I have taught courses catered towards special education and ESL students. I am fluent in Spanish and have a true passion for teaching. I have recently been assigned tutoring a special education student. I teach him basic nutrition and how to live with diabetes. I find tutoring a very rewarding aspect ... read more

As a seasoned professional published journalist and published essayist, I am not only an avid reader, but also an expert writer. And while my writing conveys the high-level journalism and professionalism of newspapers, my writing also incorporates the creative flair of magazines. In this capacity, I served as an assistant editor and am an award-winning writer. From editorials and short stories to local news and investigative pieces, I have covered many facets of writing.
For the past four years, I have volunteered at a youth center for underpriviled children in cosmopolitan Palm Beach. The experience has taught me to be patient and clear when teaching. I try to lead the child to the answer using the Socratic Method. At the same time, I enhance the child's study skills and motivation towards homework, which in-turn boosts the child's self-esteem. Parents and children alike are satis ... read more

I am a veteran teacher with HQ status. I believe passion and the persistent pursuit of excellence is what distinguishes a “good teacher” from a “Highly Qualified “one. I have taught Elementary Education for 6 years and Physical Education for 6 years. I am proficient in a variety of curriculums including, but not limited to; Lucy Calkins, Mondo, Six Traits, Investigations, 105 ELL training hours, Everyday Math, Scott Foresman, Houghton-Mifflin, Step Up To Write, DERA, DRA and Core Knowledge approach. I believe it is the different curriculums, when given in combination that allow all students to be successful. Students should be encouraged to explore and discover new ways to problem-solve and form new ideas.
Throughout my teaching experience, I have taught in diverse school districts that range considerably in socio-economic backgrounds. This experience has molded me in to a com ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the student. Without this knowledge, many smart and capable children will be left behind and not given the resources they deserve. This is why I love the process of learning and learning how to be a learner!
