After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry. Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

Having raised three children with very different learning styles and strengths, I became keenly interested in the ways children learn. As a professional singer and entertainer, the classroom was a natural place to bring the multisensory approach to children with a variety of needs. I have taught grades K-12 in a private school where multisensory methods were the key to each student's success. I have also used those methods with the children I have tutored. I am certified in English and have written over thirty articles for magazines and newspapers. I also have a strong background in science, especially in the areas of ecology and biology. I enjoy making my classroom or tutoring area a place where children feel safe to learn, ask questions, and have fun. Since the art of language and literature is my primary area of interest, I use the Socratic method of questioning to pull ideas from my

When you figure out the motivational and emotional needs of a child, teaching becomes easier but still a challenge. When a student can grasp the basics/core of a subject and really absorb this beginning information, we can move forward using their abilities of discovery regarding the subject. I look forward to assisting in the future of their educational development. Thank you. As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned a BS degree in Education and Business. While interning at Gainesville High School I learned that understanding teen-agers was the key to teaching. Students are sometimes confused that education and goal setting are much more important than social satisfaction/needs. Key here is to listen, learn and be patient with the student to grab their needs and utilize their strenths. Thank you.

Every child has a unique learning style; some learn by reading out a loud, some learn better through visual representations, but many have a mixed learning style. My teaching style depends on my students’ learning style. I use engaging techniques to keep the student focused on learning. I like to bring a variety of resources to the study session like worksheets, reading material, rulers, balls, coins, playing cards, compass, tiles, graphing calculators, pictures, etc. I also utilize resources available online like math games and interactive activities.

Very much a hands on approach. It is important to understand that people learn in different ways. Some prefer a hands on let me do it approach, others prefer verbal instruction such as a lecture type of platform, others prefer to read more and then apply, some a combination of methods and yet others on a trial and error approach. As an Instructor it is important to try and understand how each individual learns, how they take direction and correction and how to maximize the learning process. I taught Adult Education classes in - Principles of Real Estate, Small Business Management, Small Business Data Processing, Time Management, Principles of Sales and Small Business Organization at Triton College.

First and foremost, I try to see children as individuals and treat them with respect. I listen first and observe because students have different learning styles and the best teachers differentiate well. I use lots of modeling, practice and scaffolding on previously learned material. Of course, selecting materials at the appropriate level and providing enough support can give a student the confidence and motivation needed to achieve success. I am an extremely hard worker, dedicated to helping each and every one of my students in whatever way I can. Finally, learning should be fun and interesting, and I do my best to consider the students' perspectives in preparing lessons. I love to learn and strive to serve as a role model through my contagious passion for education. As the daughter of a lifelong teacher and coach, I have always been at home in the classroom.
