PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sarasota, FL

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. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send an email to perrym86@gmail.com or call me at (718) 309-4242. I try to bring a combination of educational and professional experience to every session to allow people to understand the world around us.

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 well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I believe that all students can and will achieve academ

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.

Wyzant certified in SAT - Math and SAT - Verbal; 1390 PSAT score. I bring a friendly and patient approach to tutoring. I know hiring a tutor can be a challenging process and a tough decision to make. Accordingly, I promise to make the lessons as enjoyable as possible, while ensuring you (or your child) truly understand the material. I owe it to my students to make the material fun and interesting. I have over 5000 hours (nearly 10 years) of tutoring experience, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT and other selected subjects. I have been helping high school and college students get accepted to undergraduate and graduate programs all over the United States, including UF, Michigan, Stanford, FSU, UCF, and many others. My first teaching experience was with the Department of Juvenile Justice when I was fresh out of college. It was, believe it or not, a lot of fun! When I went on t

I was a National Merit Semifinalist, meaning my PSAT score was in the top 5% of the country sophomore year. I have tutored in math from 6th through 12th grade previously. I have a 4.5600 GPA and have often helped my fellow students. I have tutored my friend's brother in various subjects, and have been able to work with his ADHD. I took both an SAT and an ACT prep class, and I got a 2190 on the SAT and a 35 on the ACT. I also took the SAT Subject Tests and can tutor for those as well. I prefer to work with motivated students. I enjoy one on one tutoring best, but I can work in a group setting. I think I am best at explaining concepts verbally. Particularly when I tutor math, I like to explain the reasoning and concepts behind what I am teaching, rather than encouraging rote memorization. For SAT and ACT prep, I think it is primarily a matter of explaining the structure of the test and te

I use the material that the student is familiar with to enhance the students understanding of the principles and processes that are being emphasized. I bring supplemental material for the subject area and use it as needed. Primarily, the student works problems or exercises that are required in front of me. The student verbalizes the steps and thinking processes about the subject so that I can correct fundamentals and errors in logic. I have tutored math, business and science courses for high school students and adults for the last 20 years. I have tutored for standardized tests (ASVAB, FCAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, etc) for the last 15 years - saving parents many thousands of dollars in tuition fees. I have also assisted students with homework help, time management and study skills.

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 Music of the University of Cincinnati. However, I completed a Ph.D. in Education at the University of Florida in 1990. I was a full-time special needs teacher at Oak Park School in Sarasota, Florida from 1998 until 2006. I was responsible for teaching elementary, middle school, and high school grade levels. It was a very rewarding job and gave me experience in many different areas in education. Since retiring from Oak Park I have spent a considerable amount of time tutoring in several different areas, including English, history, and math. 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. Pers

One of my gifts with working with children has always been the ability to relate well with them. I know what motivates children and have always shown patience and understanding. I have always tried to have children learn while having fun and try to give them multiple experiences because not all children learn in the same way. I have my professional certification in Elementary K-6 and Physical Education K-12. I recently taught Kindergarten and I have more than 30 years experience working with children of all ages. Along with teaching I have twice owned my own school and been the Director of many schools and summer camps. My strength has always been teaching Mathematics and I am taking the certification test next week.

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. I am a passionate educator with five years of teaching experience ranging from middle school through high school. I have three years of administrative experience in a K-8 program. During my tenure I was responsible for writing curriculum and assisting teac

I have experience teaching developmentally disabled adults how to read as well as art therapy. I am currently a tutor for the Sarasota School District and am level II pre-screened. As a graduate in the field of Liberal Arts, Arts and Letters, I have studied a wide array of subjects. I am comfortable tutoring children (as I do now 1-5) as well as young adults or adults preparing for the GED or SAT. I excel in all subject areas, however I have no experience in trigonometry or calculus. I have studied fine arts, humanities, biology, creative writing (have written two soon to be published books) as well as statistics and I speak fluent Spanish. My teaching style is associative. I believe in visual cues as well as personal associations/visualization in order to learn and remember material. I possess excellent study habits that I believe I could convey/transfer to students.

After I graduated from college, I was hired to teach elementary school in Venice, Florida. While teaching in Venice, I also taught graduate classes for the University of LaVerne, LaVerne, California, in "Schools Without Failure". I have taught kindergarten through high school, plus I have taught at the graduate level in college. I have been a teacher in public and private schools. The majority of my tutoring has been done in the homes of the assigned students. At Florida State, I exempted all of my math classes. As a result, I have taken supplemental courses to help me tutor math, grades 1 through 12. I have also tutored higher science and English courses. I have tutored for the SAT/ACT/PSAT tests. I have taught French to elementary and middle school students during the past thirty years in Sarasota County. I taught French in classes during school and after school.

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 passion for teaching and the diverse subjects and levels of students that I have taught are two of my great assets that can be very useful in the tutoring profession. I teach to help my student reach his or her highest potential. 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.
