Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oneco, FL

Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams. I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug. After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling wa

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 have some experience with teaching writing skills at the middle school level and as part of the GED. My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment. I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents.

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 University of South Florida, and serve as a freelance consultant for an aspiring media entertainment company. In addition, my Bachelor’s Degree in Literary Studies, Associates Degree in Education, and professionally polished communication skills are invaluable as a tutor. I have learned to be disciplined and skilled in the acquisition of critical thinking, written communication, analysis, logic and reasoning. To be literate and articulate in various languages is not only handy, but eases the transition of language barriers which allows me to continually acquire polished skills in all forms of expression. Possessing strong academic qualifications and leadership give me the advantage in helping others. I off

After graduating with my Master’s of Education from the University of Florida in 1996, I began teaching at Emma E. Booker Elementary in Sarasota. I was fortunate to spend my entire teaching career at this school and to be a part of a team that brought the school from a D- rating to a B+ status in the course of a few years. I taught First Grade for the first three years but spent the remaining eight years in the Fourth Grade where I served as Lead Teacher for five years. As the Fourth Grade team leader, our FCAT scores increased consistently, especially in math and writing. I am also a certified New Teacher Mentor, a student intern evaluator, and I have my ESL endorsement. My teaching style would likely be characterized as chiefly direct instruction and coaching followed by teaching. When introducing a new concept, I believe in explicit instruction coupled with examples, non-examples, ba

My teaching style is one of patience. I use a 'multi-sensory' approach; focusing on how the student learns. Some students learn from listening, seeing or looking; and others by touching objects. I like to use a variety of materials, books, videos, computers, dvds; puzzles, games; anything that will create that 'aha' learning moment. I like to create a positive learning environment; one that will allow the student to discover and grow. My teaching experience includes over 20 years of teaching children with special needs. In addition I have taught grades K-6 students in the regular classroom. I have also have experience teaching middle school math/science and writing.I am a certified Wilson Reading teacher; a specialized reading system for students with reading difficulties. I was a reading researcher for Florida State University. Presently I am a tutor for the Literacy Council of Manatee

In 1986, I achieved a BS in Education Degree with a triple major in English, Piano and Choral Music. Since then I have spent twenty-one years teaching seventh grade through college level courses. I have also tutored at those levels in English, Advanced Placement English, SAT preparation and College Application Essay preparation as well as in a variety of subjects at the elementary level. Additionally, I have published educational book reviews for the College Board and am in the process of completing a five book teaching series to be published in the near future. I have been a presenter and workshop leader at national conventions and local workshops as well as a reader for the national Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition Exam.

I value hands-on learning and discussion in teaching. Only when there is a discussion can our minds open to what is possible. Whether it is reading a passage, a novel, or an article and discussing what is said, what it could mean, and how it affects us or others or if is going outside to study ecological relationships, I want to engage my students in their learning. Only when a student makes the learning his will he grow and test himself with what he can learn and do. I am patient and am willing to try many avenues to teach your child. Throughout my life I have tried to acquire a knowledge of the world around me. To meet this end, I was an English major with a Bachelors of Science degree and then I received a Masters in Geography. After school I worked with the U.S. Geological Survey studying water quality. While I loved this work and it taught me how to be a hard scientist, there was

It is my experience that students do better in smaller groups with more individual attention, which in turn helps me to get a better understanding of how to move forward. I've started at the phonics level in this regard, where patience and understanding is key. I like to maintain a relaxed teaching environment, though I like to keep things moving along. In regards to experience, I'd taught in a middle school as a Reading Specialist, as a member of the Americorps national service program. During my term, I'd implemented a measurable reading workshop and organized two school-wide literacy events, recruiting over twenty local media personalities to guest read. I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and I have vast experience in document authorship, including both literary and technical compositions.

I prefer to teach from where the student is. What I mean by this is that I get to know each student individually (his or her interests and strengths) and try to approach the lesson in a way that I believe would best benefit him or her. I have nine years of experience as a Language Arts and Reading teacher at the secondary level. I received my Bachelor's degree in English Education. My Florida teaching certificate is current, and I have completed my Reading and ESOL endorsements.
