After returning home, I began working at a financial firm and became a licensed Investment Advisor and Asset Manager. I ran the Manasquan Edward Jones branch office until deciding to return to school. I studied Political Science at the University of Florida completing their International Relations program Cum Laude. Studies in International Relations focused on the international global economy, international agencies, national security, international political theory, and other aspects of public policy.

I enjoy teaching and working with students. I believe all students can learn and be successful with the right combination of commitment and training. Because of a student’s previous environment and training, some require more attention and assistance than others. I am available to help your child achieve academic success in the areas of accounting, finance, economics, general math, statistics and various other business related courses. My goal is to help your child develop the confidence and ability that they need to be academically successful. I believe all children can achieve academic success if they are motivated, confident, and interested in the material being taught. I have acquired over 20 years of accounting and finance work experience in business and government. Also, I taught college level business courses at Bethune Cookman University for 12 years.

I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004 with a major in philosophy and a minor in geology. My overall GPA was 3.674/4.000. I enjoy using both sides of my brain, so to speak. Through philosophy, I mastered formalities of the English language and developed an aptitude for critical and logical thinking. Through geology, I focused on the practical through the application of mathematical and scientific concepts. I have tutored students in math, English, and the sciences. There is no subject area I can't tackle! I enjoy helping others understand concepts that they are struggling with. It is very gratifying when a student has that "a ha" moment. I am a little strict with instruction. If a student is not paying attention or has not completed an assignment that I've asked him/her to do, I will not overlook it. I think that, in the interest of the end goal of improving grades, it's a

Reading, writing, and speaking are essential skills that students of all levels would be well advised to hone and perfect. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have striven to assist both teachers and students to use words thoughtfully to be a critical reader of the words of others. While teaching continuing education classes for teachers, I helped my colleagues gain new tools to help them unpack difficult texts, and model how to share those tools with their students. I have experience teaching middle and high school students of all levels, from remedial to gifted. I also have tutored and mentored college students in reading, public speaking, and composition at all levels from undergraduate to graduate. All students can gain great benefits from participating in rigorous coursework and being encouraged to think critically. I am a firm believer in using differentiation techniques to

I seek to help all students gain confidence in their writing and reading abilities. I have helped students in honing these skills in order to use writing for discovery, for organization, planning, and forethought, and for critical thinking. I find engaged teaching to be a wonderful experience, especially one-on-one and in small groups. Students usually direct my teaching style because I am present mainly to facilitate learning and to act as a guide. I have taught writing at the college level for more than eight years. I have taught at two state universities, one of the top ten community colleges in the US, and a private technical college. I have taught both remedial and pre-college English, English 101, English 102, American Literature, Creative Writing, Technical Communication, and Writing for Management.

I graduated high school with a 5.4 GPA and AP credits. I graduated University of Florida with a 4.0 GPA, a minor, and with honors. I have many years of experience tutoring other students. I am very good at school work as shown by my GPA. I like to adapt my teaching style to the the student. Every student learns differently, and I try to relate the information to the student based on their learning style rather than my teaching style.

My teaching style is very hands on. I believe that children learn best when they are afforded the opportunity to learn through a tangible means. I enjoy learning, and therefore try to instill that same appreciation for learning in those in which I have had the opportunity to teach. The most important lesson that I teach any of my students is related to helping them discover the ways in which they learn best. Only then can the ongoing process of learning begin. As a recent combined degree student from the University of Florida I have simultaneously pursued both Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Health Education at the University of Florida. I have also managed to obtain an overall grade point average of 3.5. I am also a recipient of the President's Award as a result of obtaining a 4.0 semester grade point average during my last semester. I have conducted obesity research for the College of

Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida.

I tutored high-school students in numerous areas including math, foreign language, reading, and test preparation. After graduation, I became a site coordinator for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. I tutored elementary aged students during my time with the Boys & Girls Clubs. Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed working with people; especially youth helping them become successful and build confidence in academics and other areas. When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching metho

My teaching style would be best described as creative and improvisational. Because I work with students from such varied backgrounds, I believe that the best method is one that allows for flexibility and at the same time incorporates lessons from several fields at once. For example, in both my GED and ESOL courses I incorporate music into my lesson plans. I find that music is an excellent avenue to explore contemporary topics that can then lead to essay topics. At the same time, song lyrics are poetry and can be studied as such. As a student in the PhD program at the University of Florida, I have been very involved in academic pursuits. However, this personal endeavor reaches beyond my own experience as a student and extends into my professional work as an educator. I have been working in the field of Adult Education for students pursuing their GED diploma as well as Instructing courses

I believe in interactive teaching, where the student is as involved as the teacher. My satisfaction comes from watching students discover knowledge that they had previously thought unavailable. Every student can learn, and my purpose and goal is to help each student stretch as far as he or she is willing to go. I have completed all requirements for a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught mathematics, computer applications, life skills, and other subjects at high school and community college levels in Colorado.

My teaching style is focused on the assumption that my students are capable of reaching their greatest potential. I provide a comfortable learning environment, and expect my student to be at ease when working with me. It is incumbent upon me to discover the learning styles to which each of my students are most receptive. I expect greatness and use positive reinforcement when students deliver. I am always evaluating my work, looking for areas I can improve. For three years, I worked as academic aide and tutor for University of Montana Disabled Student Services. Upon graduation and then moving to Florida, I taught environmental science to students and adults of all ages and abilities as forester for Levy county. Currently, I am enrolled in a second Bachelor's degree in psychology.
