A Little Bit About Me...

Have tutored for seven years in Tallahassee. Clients included high school, college and graduate students. Specialize in mathematics (algebra through calculus (including differential equations), statistics, economics, and business (accounting and finance). Also do test preparation (ASVAB, ACT, SAT, GMAT,and GRE).
My style is informal. My goal is to have my students learn by doing. I have been told that I am able to simplify and "uncomplicate" difficult subjects to help my students learn.

More About This Tutor...

I believe everyone will respond well to individualized instruction when the tutor studies the student's learning style and offers the information in the form best suited to each learner. I am patient and encouraging with students. I work hard to find ways to present a subject so that each learner will find it interesting.
I am the author of five historical novels and a number of articles, poems and short stories. I occasionally do short “residences” teaching Language Arts and Drama to special needs students in k-12 schools for VSA Arts of Florida. My graduate studies emphasized American and Tudor/Stuart History. My doctorate included a Criminal Justice minor. I regularly teach writing and grant writing seminars to adults, usually through libraries on weekends or in the evening.

I have a BS in Administrative Management Systems which is now known as Office Administration. I recently got my MBA online from the University of Phoenix. I have experience in all levels of math. I have taken several college math and accounting courses. I have excellent research and writing skills due to the extensive amount of papers that I wrote in graduate school. I have tutored for a year or more in the areas of math, reading comprehension and writing.
I love kids and would like to see all kids meet their goals. I allow kids to express themselves and see what level they are on so I will know where to start working. I build on what they already know and use it to reach the next level. All kids can learn if you make it fun and interesting. I had a tutor when I was in school and she found ways that were interesting to help me solve different problems. After a couple of weeks I tho ... read more

The most rewarding moment in my teaching career involved Emily, a college student who suffered an injury, leaving her with severe short term memory problems. She had great difficulty learning new math concepts. We could work on the same, problem over and over again and she wouldn’t remember completing it once, let alone a dozen times. I learned that word-for-word repetition was the best way to move ideas from Emily’s short term memory to her long term memory. After many hours working together, I received a phone call from an elated Emily telling me that she finally earned a B in College Algebra and couldn’t have done so without my help. Emily taught me how to adapt to my students. Each student has her own strengths and weaknesses. It’s my goal and passion to find the best method of helping each student understand concepts and excel in their class.

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly enjoy teaching, regardless of age or level. In order to succeed, I believe my students should possess a positive attitude when it comes to learning. Learning is about having the right attitude, and of course, the right help. I am flexible, but disciplined, and I will ensure my student learns the information correctly. I am persistent; if a student does not understand something in particular I will work with them to make sure they understand the material thoroughly.
As a graduate of Florida State University, my ambition to achieve my goals and the highest possible level of education has never wandered. I have earned my bachelor degree in Finance and Economics, which has required an ample understanding of mathematics and statistics. Also, thanks to my European background I am particularly gifted at learning languages and at teaching them. I am a fluent speaker of English, Spa ... read more

My unique experiences have provided me with invaluable teaching experience which has shaped my teaching style. The pedagogical approach I utilized in ESL teaching called “teaching English through English” has resulted in my highly creative, adaptive, and practical approach. I not only teach the material, but also teach problem-solving techniques to enable the students to apply their knowledge to every-day life. I approach students with enthusiasm; all children are able to learn, and learn successfully! I don’t see myself as an ultimate authority, but as a facilitator of learning. Most importantly, I approach teaching with patience and commitment, as well as a true desire to see all my students meet and even exceed their own expectations.
While living overseas in both Ukraine and Mexico I taught ESL through a non-profit organization for 4 1/2 years. In addition to teaching beg ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having studied psychology, I understand that children are very sensitive to negative feedback. I have experience in how to give constructive criticism to children and how this can only encourage them to do better.
Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and p ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While attending Florida A&M University I always had a passion for Mathematics, therefore my first year I took Honors Calculus I and received a grade of a 'B'. From that point I completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Information Systems and took my passion in math and began to work on my MEd in Secondary education. During that time I had the opportunity to substitute students in 6-12 grade in two different counties. I also completed my student teaching experience at Shiloh High School in Snellville, GA where I taught 9th-11th Algebra I & II and Geometry.
As an educator my teaching style is very laid back and easy going. I like my students to use there own knowledge to search for a solution while I give them a little bit of guidance. My non-threatening approach tends to win over students and helps them feel relax and not fear to ask questions. My goal is to improve all students in ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I value shared goals for each session and encourage open conversation to cultivate ideas. Typically asked to assist on all levels of essay-writing, I start with the question and expectations. As an editor, I am extremely thorough. I make sure the student understands any edits that I mark are an attempt to help that student best learn. I walk through all edits with the student. I also take an approach of learning WITH the student and will not to lecture AT the student. Instead, I read with the student and ask questions. I am NEVER afraid to admit a lack of knowledge, and will work with the student to find the best possible solution to every problem. I never want my students to feel alone or abandoned in the learning process.
A recent graduate with a double major in English and French, I have both academic and professional experience. During college, I maintained a 4.0 in all of my ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoyed tutoring while I was in college working in the math lab for three years. However, now that I have been actually teaching my very own students I have a better understanding of the basics of mathematics and I am a much better student myself.
I enjoy teaching and working with students. I now understand that all children learn on their own level and at their own pace. I am very easy going, but I insist that students do their homework and stay after school for extra help if they need it. I grade work off of understanding. It is not always finding the correct answer, but the process to get to the correct answer. I believe that a good teacher makes a good student and I strive to be that good teacher and student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned my bachelor degree in Communications and Creative Writing (double major), which has attributed to my excellent verbal communication skills as well as my writing skills. I've worked in a variety of environments from a newspaper to a radio station, in addition to my course work which emphasized research and reading for comprehension. As the poetry editor of FSU's literary magazine and the assistant editor of FSU's newspaper, I organized others into creative and critical ways of thinking and processing.
My mother is a reading development teacher. She works with Title 1 children every day in her job. Before coming to college, I volunteered over 100 hours working with a Title 1 child on her reading, writing, and math skills. She was in the third grade for the second time that year, and by no means can I take credit for the fact that she went on to pass that year, but I do belie ... read more

I have over 30 years of accounting, budgeting, and finance experience. In addition I have tutored accounting students at Florida A & M and and high school math students. In addition I have mentored many other individuals.
I belive all children can succed if given the proper tools. Desire and motivation are additional tools but those must come from the student. Students learn in different ways but if given an opportunity they want to learn and succeed.
