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

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

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

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. I was able to help them with their educational needs. I have an extensive academic background, possessing AA, BA, and MA degrees. I have a reputation for high personal integrity and positive results. All of my students have made significant improvements as I worked with them. In addition to tutoring, I have proctored grade school students in various subjects and adult learners in the GED as well as employment exams.

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.

I have earned a bachelor degree in English and two advanced degrees in history, with emphasis in US history. In addition, I have been teaching English in a local associate degree program in St Petersburg, Florida, since August 2005. The two English courses I have been teaching since 2005 are Composition and Literature. Since 1992, I have also been teaching a variety of history courses in both small liberal arts colleges and large public universities. More recently, I have been teaching US history at Keiser University, Sarasota, Florida. During my graduate school years, I also tutored students in US and European history. I believe that the best teacher is one who avoids the standard, didactic method of instruction. Rather that lecturing or feeding information to my students, I aim to hone their critical thinking skills so that they can develop an inquisitive mindset capable of engaging in

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 insights gained from these one-on-one sessions were invaluable to me and helped guide me as to what sorts of exercises were most valuable with a particular group of students. I have always been flexible and willing to change what isn't working in favor of a new approach or technique. 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

IAs a graduate student working to improve my teaching philosophy I realized that every child has a voice and is able to achieve more with time, guidance and modeling. Maria Montessori created her curriculum for the educator to first model the lesson, then guide the student through the lesson and then watch the student complete the lesson independently. Further, I have taught at every level including adults for 18 years and still strive to use the best practices as I encourage my students to do their best. Besides teaching for Pinellas County, I have worked for private tutoring companies and businesses instructing in all subject areas and social skills. I look forward to working for you. I am originally from Switzerland and found myself hating school as a child. As an educator I work to respect my students’ individualities. I truly believe that every child can learn and enjoy findin

I have gained valuable experience and knowledge about pedagogy and children through my three years of teaching experience at Lealman Ave. Elementary. I have taught one year of 5th grade and two years of 3rd grade. I will be teaching 4th grade next year. While attending USF, I worked as a substitute teacher in Pinellas County. I taught in a variety of K-12 classes. This past school year I took on several leadership positions including team leader and CST team member (math team). I was chosen by my principal to be a mentor for new teachers to the county. I will take on that responsibility next year as well as the ProEd Facilitator for the school. I've known that teaching was my calling since I was in second grade. I never questioned what my purpose is because it's always been clear to me. I have been told countless times that I'm a natural.

I believe that children need to be provided with a multitude of experiences in order to make a relationship with learning. Teachers need to help children find the connection between what they are learning and the world in which they live. All children have different backgrounds, interests and learning styles. I feel as a teacher, I need to use these differences to help enhance the learning experiences for all children. I believe that teaching to the variety of multiple intelligences is integral in reaching the strengths of all children while increasing their abilities in other areas. I taught fourth grade and fifth grade for two years at each level. I then became a Curriculum Specialist and am now a Title I Facilitator. Being out of the classroom for three years left me longing for more teaching contact with children and therefore, I have been tutoring for the past three years. I feel
