I know the basic moves and strategies. 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 and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a s

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.

As a college graduate, I am very passionate and motivated to achieveing a higher level of education. I have earned a BA in sociolgy and plan to go back to school to obtain my master's in medical social work and possibly a PHD, also in medical social work. Sociology has taught me many ways to approach various situations and extensive writing, research, and grammatical skills. All which are due to writing research papers and participating in a variety of different research studies. In high school and for the past year, I have tutored students and enabled them to excel in reading, writing, and Spanish. I love teaching and helping all children. I believe that each child is different and needs different methods to help them better understand the material set before them. No one child can learn the same exact way as another, which is why I work at the pace of your child and at a level t

I believe a successful learning environment is composed of equal parts hard work and fun. Success breeds success, so my style involves building expertise through positive reinforcement as the student achieves progressively from the simple to the more complex. Throughout this process, I strive to connect what is being learned to the real world in order to show the student the value of what is being learned. I have been an educator since 1974, teaching from grade 7 through the college undergraduate level. At the high school level, I taught English and government. During my college career, I was a faculty member in the Department of Kinesiology. Additionally, I ran the athletic study halls which involved tutorial work in numerous subjects. As a professional writer, I am skilled in all aspects of the English language.

I enjoy teaching. It has become a passion because of the self-rewarding results. Children learn in different ways; some are visual, kinesthetic, or audio learners; in addition, some children come from various cultural and domestic environments and each child needs their individual taylored program or style of learning. The instructor needs to be flexible with his/her approach with each individual. My goal is to empower children to succeed and progress in their academic world. I spent 7 years as a college professor, middle school Spanish, and one year as program director of the criminal justice and paralegal studies at a 'for-profit' institution. I spent most of my working career teaching young people in very diverse environments and people of many cultures. I spent 3 years as a detective investigating juvenile crime and part of the investigation was the rehabilitation involved rather tha

My teaching style owes to my youth. I use my familiarity with the concepts students are surrounded by in their own culture, I can help them better understand the academic ideas I am attempting to communicate. My student evaluations are consistently high, attesting to my goals of being enthusiastic and direct with my students. I am from a family of teachers, and I have learned from an early age what makes a strong teacher. I have been driven toward teaching from the day I set foot on a college campus. While neither of my degrees are in education, they have been attained in the process of achieving my overall goal, the doctoral degree. The extent of my experience is in writing and public speaking. I am an accomplished speech and debate competitor and coach. I have presented my communication and writing research at several national and regional conventions.

My goal is to make certain that I know each child's own particular learning style and use the tools to make him or her successful. I use a variety of strategies, especially in writing, to make certain that students know how to write successfully. I use several graphic organizers for teaching the writing process and work with students until they find one that is a good fit for their learning style. I also believe in incorporating technology to help them become better writers through the use of online materials as well. I believe in finding the best approach for the student to help achieve success. I have 14 years of teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary education in the fields of English/Language Arts, Social Studies/History, and a minor in French. I have taught English/Language Arts at every grade level in middle school and high school as well as the collegiate level.

My Masters of Education studies included tutoring programs in structured reading and writing comprehension. I became a tutor for the Blake Learning Center at American International College, Springfield. MA. I worked with students from mild learning disabilities through Asperger Syndrome in reading, comprehension, writing, and visual arts. Moving to Florida in 1994, I began teaching home-schooled children in group settings for Pasco and Pinellas County, various visual arts classes at the Pasco Arts Center and St. Petersburg College. I also taught humanities courses at Trinity College of Florida and Microsoft Office at HCC and Special Education classes at USF. The minds of children are fascinating to me. The first thing I do with my students is discover what is important to them, how they feel about school, what problems they are having. Children learn in different ways; the secret to te

I love interacting with children. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn any subject given the approprate attention and attitude. The greatest pleasure for me is seeing the faces of these children when they understand something that they were having difficulty with. My overall goal and objective is to just to help and if I can reach one child I would consider that a success. I have not had any formal experience teaching however I did take two semesters of early childhood education in college as well as two semesters of internship in elementary schools. I have tutored several students including my younger brother and his classmates. I feel that my broad education and personal experience as well as my personality encourages as well as inspires the children I have tutored. I tutored students in English, Algebra and Geometry.

My teaching style varies depending on who I am teaching and what I am teaching. The consistent skills I use in teaching are getting people to develop and use different skills, particularly learning material and being able to apply it to life, ensuring people, and learning analytical (problem solving) skills. My goals include not only teaching material and skills that will help students, but truly making a profound difference in their lives. As an undergraduate, I worked as a volunteer tutor in the Robles Park/Seminole Heights area for two years. I tutored kids in math, science, English, and social sciences. I also tought sunday school in my church where I was involved in designing the curriculum and planning lessons. I am also an experienced substitute teacher. I've been recently certified to teach social science's in grades 6-12 by the Florida Department of Education.
