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

Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams. 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 wa

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. 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

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

After graduating with my Master’s of Education from the University of Florida in 1996, I began teaching at Emma E. Booker Elementary in Sarasota. I was fortunate to spend my entire teaching career at this school and to be a part of a team that brought the school from a D- rating to a B+ status in the course of a few years. I taught First Grade for the first three years but spent the remaining eight years in the Fourth Grade where I served as Lead Teacher for five years. As the Fourth Grade team leader, our FCAT scores increased consistently, especially in math and writing. I am also a certified New Teacher Mentor, a student intern evaluator, and I have my ESL endorsement. My teaching style would likely be characterized as chiefly direct instruction and coaching followed by teaching. When introducing a new concept, I believe in explicit instruction coupled with examples, non-examples, ba

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of education. I believe that education is the key to our freedom in life. I hope to teach this philosophy to my students. As a teacher, I would describe myself as laid-back and patient. I have found that my patience is what helps me in helping students comprehend the information they are learning. I teach to every learning style and intelligence. I believe all children can learn much more than we expect of them, they just have to be taught the way they learn. Diversity is what makes our world go around, and that is what I teach to my students. Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children. I have been working with the YMCA for close to three years.

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.

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

It is my experience that students do better in smaller groups with more individual attention, which in turn helps me to get a better understanding of how to move forward. I've started at the phonics level in this regard, where patience and understanding is key. I like to maintain a relaxed teaching environment, though I like to keep things moving along. In regards to experience, I'd taught in a middle school as a Reading Specialist, as a member of the Americorps national service program. During my term, I'd implemented a measurable reading workshop and organized two school-wide literacy events, recruiting over twenty local media personalities to guest read. I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and I have vast experience in document authorship, including both literary and technical compositions.

My teaching experience includes over 20 years of teaching children with special needs. In addition I have taught grades K-6 students in the regular classroom. I have also have experience teaching middle school math/science and writing.I am a certified Wilson Reading teacher; a specialized reading system for students with reading difficulties. I was a reading researcher for Florida State University. Presently I am a tutor for the Literacy Council of Manatee County, working with adults. My teaching style is one of patience. I use a 'multi-sensory' approach; focusing on how the student learns. Some students learn from listening, seeing or looking; and others by touching objects. I like to use a variety of materials, books, videos, computers, dvds; puzzles, games; anything that will create that 'aha' learning moment. I like to create a positive learning environment; one that will allow the s
