I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Textile Engineering, which has enabled me to gain a deeper understanding in many areas of Math and Science. Math has been my first academic passion since I was in elementary school. In 2005-2006 I obtained from Florida Dpt. Of Education my Professional Certifications for teaching Mathematics 5-12 and Spanish k-12. Last year I've finished my Masters in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language. I've developed a love for Spanish language while I was living in Madrid-Spanish (1998-2004). During the last eight years I have tutored students in Mathematics and Spanish from 2nd grade to college level and I have worked for many entities as a translator Spanish-Romanian and as a Math & Spanish teacher.

My teaching style is highly personalized and tailored; firm, but friendly, has been an expression quite often used by administrators and parents to describe my demeanor. Once my students feel comfortable enough to truthfully reveal what they actually know and do not know, they realize that that is not a problem. No one knows everything. But it is instilled in my students to know themselves, their true strengths, as well as, weaknesses. Utilizing their previous knowledge with reasoning and open candid discussions, I always commend them on what they do know and build from there. Better self esteem and appreciation for the value and need of the subjects learned testify to the impact of such teaching methods used. My teaching experience covers a period of thirty seven (37) years in which time I have taught children and adults of all ages and cultures using time-tested methods to e

For the last 25 years, I taught mathematics in grades 7-12 in central New York near Syracuse before I moved to Jacksonville. Although my focus has been math, I like to focus on study skills that best fit the learning style of the individual student, whether it is math or English or Social Studies. I also spent 3 years at Colgate University as a User Services Consultant in the Computer Laboratory. That title meant it was my responsibility to work with students on their resumes, cover letters, job applications and on any computer software that we supported. I definitely had to be flexible and knowledgeable in many areas! I have always taught math with an interdisciplinary team of teachers, so I get a perspective of "the entire kid." That way, if a student was not learning in my math class room, I looked for ways that made that student successful in other subjects that I could use in my

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students. As a Troy graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education.

My teaching style is very different, but I love being able to differentiate my lessons to best suit my students. I do believe that all children have different learning styles, so when I deliver instruction, I try to combine the types of styles and incorporate kinesthetic activities for the students to visually see and have that hands on experience. I believe repetition helps children to learn and grasp instruction as well. Through repetition and correct delivery, the student will be able to remember and recall the facts they need in order to succeed in those areas of academics. Teaching is always a learning process. You learn new ways and ideas everyday. As a graduate of East Carolina University, I have continued to be persistent in every aspect of my teaching career. I have earned only a bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in child studies, which have helped me to devel

Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training. I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves.

To me teaching is about solving puzzles. Each student needs different devices or strategies to learn at their full potential. This is why I believe in experimenting with how class or a learning session is conducted. I pride myself on my courage to try something new and original in order to reach a student, even if it means failing; but from that failure I still learn. I feel the most important thing to teaching is to make a connection with the individual person - not just the student. I recently completed my education to be a communication and English educator at the University of Minnesota - Duluth. Through the program I spent a year as an apprentice at a middle school and high school. At these locations I not only observed, but also conducted the classroom a day each week. Also at this time I spent a day tutoring a low functioning reader one-on-one for the entire semester. The
