Florida Writes Tutoring
The Florida Writing Assessment was implemented in grades 4, 8, and 10 as required by a law passed by the 1990 legislature. Does your student need a tutor? The best way to teach writing is to engage students in the writing process. This recursive process includes planning, writing, revising, and editing.
As students become more proficient, the amount of time spent on each step in the process may shorten, and the necessity for teacher involvement should lessen. Florida Writes is difficult for some students. Give your child an edge by selecting a tutor today on your terms, on your schedule, to suit your needs and within budget.

Renu M - Sunnyvale, CA 94086 (3.8 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $48.50/hr.
Tutoring experience: I started tutoring when I was pursuing Bachelors in Science majoring in Math. I taught a variety of students of age group from 5 to 17. I taught Arithematic, Numbers theory, Pre- Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, English, Hindi, and Gujarati. Through my teaching experience, I have become keenly aware of my strengths in teaching: motivating students using various methods, conveying my strong content knowledge, crafting instructional activities to best fit the needs of students, and accommodating for all students' individual differences. My tutoring style is described as follows:
1) I encourage learning by doing
2) I encourage learning by thinking: By interpreting ideas, sythesizing and analysing them and by critical revision of those ideas
3) I encourage students to reflect on their learning
4) I give precise instructions to my students:

Michael S - Foster City, CA 94404 (12.3 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark. I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time.

Christopher U - Berkeley, CA 94705 (28.7 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $43.50/hr.
My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literary skills concerning literary forms: folklore, poetry, short story, photography, personal essay, analytical essay. My two years of high school Spanish, one year of College French, and completion of breadth college requirements provide a slight ability for me to tutor Spanish and French language, computer navigation, basic algebraic math, and basic social studies. During the last three years I tutored ESL, reading, and Astronomy at Chaffey College, overlooked K-12 after-school P.E. programs with the Boys and Girls Club, and facilitated a course in wheelchair basketball and disability at UC Berkeley. I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or traverse

Terra W - Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 (33.3 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $49.00/hr.
My "teaching style" changes depending on the needs of my students. In all cases, an initial assessment of both the academic level and the temperament of each student are necessary before I establish a particular style. Some students are comfortable with a quieter, more formal tutor, while others are successful with a more casual, animated tutor.
In every situation, I look for opportunities to give positive reinforcement. For example, I usually warm-up with material the student feels relatively confident about, then add new or more challenging concepts, and end with the student feeling successful practicing on his or her own. I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taug

Shannon L - Stockton, CA 95219 (50.9 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I have a passion to empower students with the proper tools and techniques to learn more and be confident in the classroom. By being accessible, a great communicator, and creative, I am determined to provide each child with the assistance they need to reach academic success. I am able to adapt to how each child learns because I am open minded and patient with children. I enjoy teaching children “hands on” methods of learning the curriculum so that they can gain knowledge of the course material in an interesting and interactive way. It is very important to me that children discover new techniques to learning in a manner that fits their personality because not every child learns using the same techniques. Furthermore, I believe that a positive environment is always part of the educating process and I will strive to connect with each child in order to help children triumph. Prior to rece
