Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pinellas Park, FL

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.

5-Star Thespian I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading. During the past four years I have taught 2nd-adult English Language Learners and tutored K-adult students in all disciplines. Helping learners find solutions to their problems is my passion. My greatest strength is compassion. I believe that anyone can achieve. I enjoy helping others discover their innate joy of learning. I thrive on seeing the "light" in a learner's eyes. It drives me with a determination to find the best way to help each individual become a lifelong learner.

I believe that all children can learn but they don’t all learn in the same way. It is important to maintain structure but in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to learning. I ascertain that children can make their own connections to what they are studying and then claim success for their learning. I use a variety of resources to help a child grasp understanding such as music, manipulatives, books, and technology. Through direct instruction of needed skills and strategies, guiding their practice, and individual practice, I scaffold children’s learning. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have served as an interpreter mainly in religious settings. I taught at the preschool level for 17 years before completing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education K-6 with ESOL Endorsement from the University of South Florida. I currently teach 2nd grade in a south-county school which has a

My experience in education began at home with my mother who was a master teacher for 37 years in, mostly, Pinellas County as an English teacher. She exemplified what it means to be a civil servant and a mentor to numerous children year after year. From my home childhood into my adult life I have carried these sentiments closely and was able to extend this practice while working at one of Florida's best non-profits as an education director. My duties included the organization of literacy outreach initiatives assisting teachers in the Pinellas County School System in organizing and teaching poetry workshops for elementary and middle school. Children are the new mark for what is to become and with that belief I feel every single child should be taken into account not just those who seemingly excel. My patience allows for me to access the appropriate pace and learning style for each individu

As a graduate student at the University of Southern California, I taught freshman comp (expository writing) for two years. I very much enjoyed this experience, and later as a legal assistant I presented occasional informal tutorial sessions on grammar and usage at the firms where I would work. I have always enjoyed a reputation as a "wordsmith" while working with attorneys over the past 15+ years, and I am proud that I managed to pass on my love of reading and learning to my own son (now age 21). While teaching writing at USC, I would use various media, including music and visual stimuli, to encourage students to formulate their own thoughts and opinions on various topics. These might range from philosophical themes to current events. Twice a semester, we would cancel class for a day or two so that I could meet individually with each student to assess his or her progress. The insigh

I love to work with students of all ages, especially children. I am kind, patient, and enthusiastic about the process of learning and living. I believe it is essential to offer an environment that creates an upwards spiral and wide web of learning through utilizing methodologies like that of Vygotsky’s Scaffolding and a Montessori Approach, as well as employing ideologies from John Dewey, Alvin Johnson and Margret Wheatley – that when you learn what you love then you will realize that everything else that need be learned is intricately connected to each other. I have a creative essence that allows me to teach with ease and students to learn and be successful in every area of their education. I have always had a passion for education and learning for myself and others of all ages. After pursuing my BA degree in Humanities awith a Minor in Leadership, I taught for five years in a classro

I love working with elementary, and jr. high school students. Kids love me because I am very friendly, encouraging, extremely patient, and a lot of fun. My lessons are highly creative, and engaging. Students especially like me because I am a natural at boosting their self-esteem and igniting their enthusiasm to learn. I love teaching creative writing and am very clever in integrating science, art, and history into my lesson plans, and tutoring assignments. Because I am very kind, friendly, fun, and have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, my students are never bored. I am most proud of my abilities to inspire children to learn. Under my direction, my students are more confident, creative, and much more eager to learn about everything under the sun - and beyond!

I have a varied academic background. I graduated from an interpreting training program in 1998 and worked as an educational interpreter for several years. I then went back to college to get my degree in education. Most of my studies are in education, including deaf and special education, psychology, counseling, american sign language, child speech, language development, and theater arts. Because of my diverse educational experience I believe I would do well tutoring all learners in many aspects of their education. I love to teach. I presently teach at a montessori school for deaf children. I truly enjoy working everyday with my students. I have an innate ability to teach. I take pride in providing individualized education to all of my students. I guide them with respect and dignity to allow them to realize their potential.

Having graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree, I have always strived to excel academically as well as in all endeavors. Most of my career has been working as an interior yacht designer where creativity, art principles and math were used daily. Equally important were communication skills, both verbal and written; accuracy; attention to detail and follow through. Prior to working as an interior designer, I was employed by the Miami-Dade Board of Education as a Teacher’s Assistant where I worked with elementary school aged children on a one to one basis to improve their reading and mathematics skills. It was rewarding to see the self-confidence gained by the students through their own achievement. Everyone learns at their own pace and in their own way. The challenge of teaching is to find the approach that is best suited to the student for learning. I believe that is achiev

I have always been able to communicate well with children. Not only has this made my experiences working with children enjoyable, it has helped me learn more about them. I know that they all have different tools to learn with and need the opportunity to use them to their advantage. I have a positive, constructive, and patient way of working with children. I believe learning should be fun, inspiring, and rewarding. This philosophy will give children the fortitude to seek out knowledge throughout their lives and the strength to overcome adversity. I believe instilling a "can do" attitude and positive learning experiences, children can achieve their full potential. I have always enjoyed working with children. In college, I was soccer coach and this inspired me to continue working with children. After graduating with a BA in Visual arts, I naturally chose to share my love of culture an
