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 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.

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

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.

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.

Possessing strong academic qualifications and leadership give me the advantage in helping others. I offer great ideas and have established expectations that administer consistency and fairness as a leader overseeing the needs of others. Communication is not only speaking but active listening. As an active listener, I offer feedback and answer questions that assist in the learning process. My proactive role in lesson planning is geared toward guided learning. Engaging creatively and intellectually with the students in multiple languages at the secondary and adult levels allows me the unique opportunity to create, maintain, manage, and consistently improve educational relationships with diverse populations. 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

Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams. After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as we

My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential which in turn guides my own instructional practice. While some learner's do require discipline and a strict agenda, I frequently relinquish powers to the learner in an effort to fully engage them in their own learning (while maintaining teacher authority of course). Through instructional facilitation, constructive practice and reflective play I look to encourage a well-rounded experience to advocate the love of learning to my student. My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessment.

It wasn't until my senior year at Florida State University, that I realized making a difference in children and students lives through education, was what I wanted to do. Immediately out of college, I decided to test the waters, before jumping right in. So I got a job as a substitute teacher and began my journey with education. I learned quickly what to expect at different grade levels. I also learned that working with students can be a challenge, but it was one I was ready for. It also did not take me long to land a long term position at a middle school. During the last 7 years, I have learned and experienced a lot, but my passion to help has never changed. I love working with all children and know they can learn, just each in their own way. I am available to help your child find their best way to learn, so they can have academic success. I am a very easy going and patient person. This

For six years, I have facilitated the education of hundreds of students through the assignment and evaluation of coursework in all subject areas and all grade levels. I have expertise in curriculum options and creating assignments that match the students individualized educational goals, as well as meeting district guidelines I am firmly committed to education and strive to make learning an enjoyable and wo

While in High school I was in a program called Future Educators of America. I taught Emotional Handicapped Children by choice and I use what I have learned back then to teach today. I have 3 small children myself so I do enjoy teaching them new things and helping them further understand the concept more. Sometimes I use an example something they are familiar with, something that I know will grab their attention, then it does not even feel like learning. With me, the majority of learning is focused around being fun & creative where others are more in tuned to the reality of it as we all know this is how life is so I help them learn life skills as well. However I do utilize the importance of their involvement. I currently instruct medical billing and coding classes. I have just started and I realized how much I love this.
