I have tutored students in many subjects, including language arts, math, science, and reading. I have worked with students under NCLB and with FCAT (Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test program). Some of my past students had learning disabilities, such as Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, or diagnosed as "Slow Learner." Several of these students were being medicated and were repeating at least one grade.

All of my students have made significant improvements as I worked with them.

I have strong classroom management skills and a passion for helping kids gain a better understanding for anything under the sun! I have high expectations of what my students can do, and help support them in achieving those expectations. My philosophy is that "can't" is the worst 4 letter word in the dictionary, as a result, I work to motivate my students to become life long learners and to enjoy learning new things. I began working with children at the age of 10 in the capacity of babysitter/activities director. As a teen I began working in daycare centers and have worked in the capacity of teacher/assistant teacher/ director/owner. I have taught public school in Florida and the Bronx, NY over the past 5 years. I have worked as a drop-out prevention teacher and have had the privileged to work with a large number of disadvantaged and at-risk students.

I have some experience with teaching writing skills at the middle school level and as part of the GED. 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. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, reading, and math. 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

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

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.

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

During my time as a student in the University of Florida's Proteach Program I had many opportunities to work in various classroom settings and ultimately receive a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in children's literature. Since my graduation in 2003, I have worked as a fourth grade teacher, a middle school teacher in a Montessori school, and an adjunct professor at St. Petersburg College. I have also worked as a private tutor. I have a strong background in literature and writing and feel prepared to work with students at every level. Maria Montessori, one of the most powerful women in the foundation of educational philosophy, once said "Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” Each child must be seen as the individual that they are. Special attention needs to be placed on a child's growth both physically and emotiona

My teaching style is based on the belief that student instruction should be individualized to insure the highest student achievement for all children. My lessons are hands-on, engaging activities that incorporate individual learning styles, interests, and past experiences. I believe that the opposite of strength is not weakness, but rather an area for improvement. While working toward my Associate's and Bachelor's degrees in education, I began working extensively with adults with disabilities. It was during this time that I discovered my love for the field of exceptional student education. Since then I have received my Master's in Special Education. I have held classroom teaching positions in early childhood education as well as early childhood special education. Currently, I am teaching an Emotionally Handicapped class for the School Board of Pinellas County.

I love working with children and teaching them new things. It is truly amazing when you see that they finally get a concept. I have a very hands on approach to teaching and feel that students learn more when they can touch and feel what they are learning about. As, graduating with honors from my college I am driven to achieve the highest level of excellence in the education field. I earned my bachelors degree in elementary education. I am a state certified teacher, certified in the following areas: Elementary Education K-6, Middle Grades Integrated 5-9 & ESOL Endorsement. I have tutored many elementary students in all subject areas in my 7 years working in before and after school care. I have also tutored students at college level math.

I have always enjoyed the process of learning and learning in itself! Academics always came naturally but did require effort and hard work as I grew older. Learning became a hobby for me, something that is now a huge part of who I am. As I grew into a continual learner, my desire to teach became stronger and more prevalent in my life. I tutored my sisters when they struggled in different subjects and when I baby-sat, I grew to love guiding these small children in academics as well. College is when I really started to tutor professionally. I signed myself up for tutoring lists and received work from other professors. Now that I am teaching, I tutor my own students before and after school in all areas all the time! I have always had the desire to teach within me since I was little. I did explore other career areas in high school but always ended back at teaching. I believe this to

Since receiving my Elementary Education Degree fifteen years ago, I have had the opportunity to experience the many different aspects the teaching profession offers. Prior to relocating to Florida I taught for 4 years in Pennsylvania and this is my eleventh year with Pinellas County Schools. I presently teach 5th grade at San Jose Elementary in Dunedin and am currently seeking my Masters Degree through USF. I have tutored both children as well as adults, 10 out of the 15 years of my teaching career. I constantly strive to stay current with the newest educational trends through extensive reading, exploring new technologies, and through our nation’s multi-media. I also expand my knowledge by attending and/or participating in the different county-level courses that are offered to teachers throughout the school year.
