Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Largo, FL

After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I believe that all students can and will achieve academ

Tutoring is not my part-time job, it is a full time endeavor. I tutor in many subjects including Elementary, Middle and High School curriculums. I tutor all ages. By working with my students, their parents and teachers, we formulate a plan and goals for our sessions. Sometimes I am a tutor for a test, or a coach for a project or a study skills adviser. I have experience working with students with ADHD and those with specific learning issues and IEP's.

I believe that implementing the right tools, along with clearly stating what the student needs to learn, along with discussion, will ensure student success.Using multisensory resources, creatively using the newly formed knowledge, along with pre-testing will foster memory and recall. The experience I have gained while studying Education and Psychology, along with administrating exams for Wonderlic Scholoastic Testing and tutoring has enabled me to learn through understanding, hard work and dedication. I have learned through extensive courses in Psychology on how we learn, education courses that break learning down, and working with children and adolescence for over ten years with tutoring and patience, that with the proper tools and guidance, anything can be achieved.

Possessing strong academic qualifications and leadership give me the advantage in helping others. I offer great ideas and have established expectations that administer consistency and fairness as a leader overseeing the needs of others. Communication is not only speaking but active listening. As an active listener, I offer feedback and answer questions that assist in the learning process. My proactive role in lesson planning is geared toward guided learning. Engaging creatively and intellectually with the students in multiple languages at the secondary and adult levels allows me the unique opportunity to create, maintain, manage, and consistently improve educational relationships with diverse populations. As a contented student at Full Sail University, I am pursuing a Master's in Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I volunteer for Graduate Honors research in Latino/a Caribbean Studies at the

Qualified in this subject by WyzAnt. In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits of a wide ranging education. For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly re

Teaching came naturally to me, and I understand why. I was originally taught at the kitchen counter of an oversized farmhouse. My mom taught me to read along with other basic skills; this enabled me to skip a grade and enriched me with a great love for learning. When you have a great love, you love to give it away. This is something that I have experienced when tutoring a child. There is no greater joy than helping a child achieve- this gives them self-confidence, and if they believe they can, then truly, they can do anything. Teaching, to me, is the most important job in the world. I graduated from USF with a bachelor's degree in English and nearly an additional bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences. During my time in college, I have had work published in the undergraduate literary journal, received nearly a 4.0 GPA in my major (English), and was featured on blogs of the

My ideal teaching style is by using questions and challenging my students to get the answers. I am very consistent as well on memorization and reading. Classical education - namely the Aristolean method - is something I strongly advocate. I have tutored both college-age and high school students for a number of years, and my strong areas are History, English, and Social Science. I have also served as a Sunday School teacher for middle-school students and adults.

My career in teaching and counseling has covered several regions of the USA and international work in two foreign countries. Besides teaching in a classroom setting, I have enjoyed tutoring experiences in writing labs at the college level and extensive tutoring situations with foreign nationals, elementary through high school age. My expertise in Language Arts, my personal writing, my travel journals – all add to my ability and enjoyment in teaching others the joys of reading and writing. I am very comfortable with math, science, and history at the elementary and middle school levels. My experience with college and career counseling at the high school level would be valuable to high school students. Most rewarding for a teacher is seeing the difference she makes in her students’ lives. When I began teaching to smaller groups and individual students, I realized how dynamic personal att

In a little under two years, I have spent my teaching experience abroad, splitting time between contract work in South Korea and Costa Rica as an English Language Instructor of both Elementary and Adult Language Education in 2nd Language Acquisition. In my experience, I came to understand that teaching language covers more than just the basics of speech and pronunciation, but developing ways in which to effectively communicate in which both teacher and student are able to relate the same ideas with one another, which include not only the areas of reading, writing, and speech, but also areas of math, science, art, physical education and wellness, and music as well. I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles.

As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. In addition, I taught Drama, Speech, Creative Writing, Script Writing and Math at local Cooperative Groups in the state of Florida. The growth that each student achieves is my best reward. I love learning and love to pass that on. In tutoring, I first work at instilling confidence and apply small victories to achieve that goal. I find the learning style of the student and modify the information in ways that can make them more successful. I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of yo

I have had the privelage of growing up in a family of educators. My great grandmother started a Montessori school in my home town that is owned and operated by my mother and grandmother to this day. I am a recent graduate of FSU with a BS in English education. I am passionate about helping students learn confidently, and pride myself on innovative lessons to achieve these goals. I have worked with children of all ages, but most recently I have taught English to 8th graders and will be teaching Sophomore English at a private Catholic school in the fall. My ultimate goal is for students to feel comfortable learning, and to know that not all students learn the same way or at the same rate, but all students deserve the opportunity to succeed. My teaching style is very hands-on and creative. I try to incorporate technology whenever possible, and try to create lessons that use multiple medium

I enjoy teaching others regardless of their age. I firmly believe that positive reinforcement is vital in teaching and engenders academic success. I am patient and easy going and respectful of others. I also am aware that each student learns in different ways, I witnessed this first hand with my own children. I was intimately involved in their education from pre-school through graduate school. As a law school graduate and a licensed financial advisor I pride myself in teaching my clients why I am taking a certain course of action. I have earned two degrees a bachelor's degree and a law degree. While in law school I wrote for the school newspaper and as an undergraduate I wrote numerous research papers I have also have 25 years of practical experience in business.
