Experienced and Skilled Elementary School Tutor

I enjoy teaching and interacting with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I want to help your child succeed academically. I am patient and considerate. My goal is to provide your child the best education possible. I firmly believe in learning through discovery and in providing a hands-on approach to learning. I believe all children can achieve their potential if given encouragement and appropriate learning experiences. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
After graduating from the College of Education at Florida Atlantic University with honors, I taught in Broward County from February 1979 until retiring in June 2003. During this time I gained extensive experience working with students from a variety of backgrounds and academic levels. In November 2006, I came out of my early retirement to teach second grade at Boca Rat ... read more

PARENTS - I 'M HERE TO HELP YOU WITH ONLINE LEARNING

Most recently I have worked as a reading specialist. I have over 25 years of experience as an English as a Second/Foreign Language educator. I have taught at all levels k-12, as well as University. I have extensive experience teaching at the adult level and enjoy working with adult learners. Currently I am a private consultant with a focus on reading and learning - particularly learners with special needs.
I am a learner-centered instructor. When working with an individual I try to understand his or her learning approaches and needs. I believe that I work well with alternative learners and with young adults who may be disaffected with conventional educational methods. I particularly enjoy working with adults and feel that I often learn so much more from them than what I am able to offer. When working with adult learners I respect that their personal lives and nee ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to create a meeting day before the tutoring begins. That meeting day consist of me seeing where the student I am tutoring is at. After seeing the subject that student is struggling with, I create weekly packets for the days I do tutor the student. That packet will be practice for the student to do infant of me as an "exam". Weekly packets will be given all the time until that student masters the concept.

Writing is one of my top subjects!

Because of law school, I teach mostly by asking questions. This enables students to feel proud of figuring things out on their own. Unlike my law school professors, however, I am sweet and nurturing.
I tutored students throughout law school in various subjects including, but not limited to, writing. Since opening my own legal writing, researching and editing business, I have assisted attorneys and lay people develop their own writing skills. I am a clasically trained actress who performed in several off Broadway shows in New York City. Although I majored in theatre performance, I excelled in creative writing, with an emphasis on poetry. In high school, I placed out of college English, enabling me to take nothing but creative writing classes. I am a grammar and punctuation nazi with excellent reading comprehension skills. I excel at testing. As an actress/attorney, I have become ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : I have a Bachelor's degree (with highest honors) from Florida International University and I did all my graduate work (with distinction) at the Univ. of Miami. One of my specialties is English in all its facets. In addition to being a very patient writing instructor, I am a professional writer (Published by Warner Brothers and Rowman and Littlefield) and teacher of writing so I know I can really help you learn how to make words dance, sing and jump off the page, if necessary.

I have been teaching many years, and I make sure I keep very much up to date with the teaching styles and ideas in use today, I have bona fide references available from students and their parents, (past and present) to show prospective students. I have worked with students for whom English is a second (or third or fourth) language). I have worked very successfully with students who have had a learning disability or physical or emotional or mental problem of some kind. I apply my teaching expertise and ideas to academics as well as music. All my students tell me that they can tell that I love teaching, by the way I work with them.
I am gentle, yet demanding. I am soft, but strict. I use humor to keep my students interested and in focus. I teach, but I also listen and watch for signals from my students in order to know if they understand or need more explanation. I develop ... read more

Expert at finding the solution to help you or your child!

Our tutors are trained to be able to relate problems to the real world, making them concrete and simple. For example, a question may ask what is 7 times 25? This problem is abstract and challenging to some people. Thus, I rephrase it to, "If you have 7 quarters in your pocket, how much money do you have?" By making the problem more relatable to the student, the problem suddenly appears easier and less intimidating. Our tutors go through training on how to assess each student's individual learning style, and know how to adapt to each student. Being able to adapt to different learning styles is what sets out tutors about and ensures that the students learns!

Teacher, Tutor, Editor, Study Coach

I love teaching and learning! I have degrees in English and law, and have over ten years' experience teaching and tutoring in many subjects. I enjoy teaching students at all levels, from struggling learners to second language learners to doctoral candidates. My forte is research and writing, and I am familiar with APA, MLA, and Bluebook format. I can take a good paper and make it great! I work as a teacher and tutor at Lynn University's Writing Center.
I tailor my teaching style to individual needs. I like to use Powerpoints, interactive quizzes, and online resources such as quiz flash cards to enhance my tutoring, and if I notice an area of weakness I will find exercises to address the problem. I can also help with study skills.

The Word Doctor

My experience has been primarily in editing in various arenas, including medicine, technology, aerospace, and memoirs. I have tutored those whose native language structure hinders learning to use everyday idioms and phrases recently introduced into American English. Emphasis on proper grammar is light but holds to basic principles of good English.
My teaching style is geared to my student's needs and may be altered during the course of the lessons if necessary. Attention is given to priming a student's focus and setting goals. I thoroughly enjoy my students' progress.

My comments on tutoring Writing : Elementary to adult

Pleasant and respectful but firm, listen as well as teach. Tutor work from teacher's information to insure the student understands the lesson given by school teacher.
Twenty years of rotating between five schools as a permanent School Board Certified substitute teacher/tutor as well as tutor college students at the college location. The reading, writing and math included ESOL students. Computer classes which included ESOL students, were keyboarding, word processing, power point, excel and internet. There were adult evening classes on the same subjects. Also write lesson plans, request for needed supplies, oral reports on many different areas of student abilities.
