Professional, Experienced, Passionate Teacher and Tutor

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 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 t ... read more

My name is Perry Miles. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring and have attended some of the best schools in the country. I went to the Newhouse School (at Syracuse University) and studied broadcast journalism to get my bachelors Degree before earning my Masters in Health Informatics from USF Tampa this past December. Since I have moved from the Northeast to Florida, I have been able to help students prepare for the school year and improve grades in all areas. I try to combine my educational background with my professional experience to interest the students and help them apply knowledge.

Experienced Educator who wants your child to love learning.

I have a very engaging manner with students. I feel that learning is a joy, rather than a chore and I try to pass that attitude on to my students. I use frequent checks for understanding and reteaching when necessary. I also believe that a student's own insights and questions can guide learning to its highest levels.
I have been a full-time classroom teacher at all grade levels for the last 12 years. I also have several years as a substitute teacher. I specialize in differentiating instruction for all learners. In addition, I can teach reading and writing skills using authentic sources and classroom subject matter so that students don't fall behind on content-learning at the expense of practice with unrelated materials.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience in education has taken many paths. I began my teaching as an elementary school teacher. I thought third gradein a Catholic elementary school and began the first Kindergarten program at that school. Along my path I have also taught Social Studies and was in charge of the Library at an inner city school in Miami. There have been many turns in my teaching experience,but, the most satisfying teaching challenge is the one I have undertaken as a teacher for children with learning disabilities. I have been with a school called Dreams Are Free and we educate students who have a variety of learning disabilities. I consider my being able to teach my class a privilege and I learn from my students just as much as they learn from me.
My teaching style would be based on the direct method of teaching. I like to show my students the way to the information or how to solve a problem a ... read more

I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Personally, I like to incorporate many different learning styles, whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Regardless of the subject matter, I constantly try to find ways in which to make the material exciting and relevant for the student. Motivating my students has always been a primary goal. Even though the main focus has been mainly the mastering of various academic skills, I am also somewhat of an academic rationalist in that I feel that all students deserve to be exposed to great ideas that have shaped our civilizations.
Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Mus ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a true believer that in order to effectively teach a child you must know the child’s learning style. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory. This method of teaching is essential in the tutoring aspect. I am a practitioner of culturally responsive teaching, which uses the cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles of students to make learning more appropriate and effective for them; it teaches to and through the strengths of students. I know each student is capable of learning. It is my responsibility to tap into their interest and knowledge level to assist them through the learning process.

A Little Bit About Me...

Depending on the subject I use a highly academic and focussed style of teaching. If it is communication like English, Writing and Journalism , I use a lot of teacher-generated materials. I am very flexible and would like to meet the needs of a particular student by administering some kind of a skill inventory survey to identify his or her style of learning. An inventory of his interests and skills will also be a good tool for me to assess the student's strengths.
I taught public school in Florida from K-12 for the last 16 years. I taught for more than 10 years in the private school. I am still teaching part-time at a private company.

My style of teaching is relatively comparisons and having the student recognize the use of information as it is used daily. Thus, middle school math is my choice and computer science to instruct. I use tape measures, yard sticks, beakers, pie charts money, and all visuals such as: dam’s bridges, and buildings for measurements.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of difference in any child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now t ... read more
