Excellent Tutor

I have tutored on many levels of math from algebra through calculus. Other areas I have proficiently tutored in physics, chemistry, creative writing, and test preparation. I worked as a math T.A. at Tallahassee Community College for two years. I have many years experience in tutoring people from all walks of life, gender, age, and ethnicity.
I use a practical approach to help students to strategize and implement their ideas effectively in creative writing and communications. My math and science skills allow me to offer many different strategies and explanations to help create a more complete understanding of the topic.

A significant portion of my professional career has included working with youth in classroom settings, community-based programs, and juvenile detention centers. In addition, I traveled extensively throughout Florida as an Education and Training Coordinator for Service Learning projects. This exposed me to the unique challenges that teachers, school administrators, parents, and students face on a daily basis. As a researcher for gang programs, I developed great empathy for youth desiring to leave gang-related violence and pursue educational goals to improve their lives. During the past three years I have worked with students in small group settings and one-on-one. Specific areas of study have included English, writing, and assisting students with developing critical thinking skills. Last year I taught a six week summer course in English; the target audience was children of migrant ... read more

I firmly believe in students succeeding in school and life. Having a love for learning and school is the key to good grades and a healthy attitude. I don’t believe any child wants to fail. Quite the contrary, children want to succeed. When students fail, it is because the system failed them and not the other way around. I believe the key to teaching kids is to help that child experience immediate success so they can gain self esteem during critical elementary school years. Next, areas of strength need to be identified and emphasized while weaknesses need to be improved. Meanwhile homework cannot be treated as an isolated event, but should be incorporated into the learning strategy.
I am a mother of two school age children with entirely different learning styles and a college graduate who has tutored friends and family for the past 14 years. I believe that learning is an en ... read more

While earning my degree in English, I developed teaching and communication skills through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences. As an intended Secondary Education minor, I took many classes in education, including a middle and high school practicum. I also tutored students in grammar and composition, as well as foreign students in conversational English. I strongly considered teaching as a profession after graduation, but I wanted to earn my law degree first. While studying for the LSAT, I took an online course, mastering test-taking skills in all three parts: logic “games,” analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of Florida, with extensive work in research, analysis, and writing, these skills came easy to me. Currently, I am a teaching assistant for Legal Writing and Research and thoroughly enjoy helping 1L’s also ... read more

As a teacher/tutor, I find that being a good listener and paying attention to students needs creates a successful learning environment. Every child acquires information differently and their ways of learning should be respected. By creating lessons based on exciting, "real world" applications, students are more accepting to the content at hand.
I graduated from Florida State University in 2004 with a B.A. in Spanish and Italian with a minor in French. I have been tutoring with the Modern Language Department since 2001 and tutor in all three languages. I also spent a month in Spain teaching English to native Spanish speakers. As an undergraduate, I was involved with the America Reads program, where I was a reading coach/language arts tutor to elementary and middle school children. I am also qualified in tutoring basic math and college prep math.

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 believe I helped her by understanding her difficulties, working with her as someone who was interested in seeing her succeed. I am a very patient person, and most of all, I consider myself empathetic. I believe that teaching is achieved through understanding each child's specific needs and emotions, and working through the difficulties with firm, but kind leadership.
I earned my bachelor degree in Communications and Creative Writing (double major), which has attributed to my excellent verbal communication skills as ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

I enjoy teaching children from elementary level up through college, especially in writing skills. My real-world experience as a public relations professional is appealing to my students, and I incorporate real-world examples and issues in my lessons. I love to see students realize their potential, and I am adept at assessing their abilities in order to give them the tools they need to succeed. I want to see children enjoy what they are learning, even if the subject is difficult for them. I think it is easier and more fun to "learn by doing"; I do not lecture students, but rather engage them in a way that keeps their attention. I am a patient and understanding teacher and feel confident I can help your child succeed.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the subject and retain it in the long run.
I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor. In addition to my strong communication skills, I also experienced a unique high school experience, so I find it easy to relate to students wh ... read more

I have a very open teaching style and like my students to think and ask questions. As evidenced by my professional teaching evaluations, I care about my students and their progress. I furthermore place an emphasis on learning and practical application. In my classroom, every student has the opporunity to earn an "A" as long as he or she is willing to put in the effort.
I am presently a visiting professor at the Florida State University Department of Communication in Panama City, Florida. I teach graduate level statistics and mass media, GRE preparation, and undergraduate business communications and research methods. While completing my Ph.D. in Mass Communication at Florida State University, I also taught public speaking.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests.
The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best ... read more
