I know the basic moves and strategies. 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. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social stud

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.

I graduated from the University of Florida in 2006 with a BA in History. Earlier this year I completed my MA in American Studies at the University of South Florida. During my two years at USF, I engaged in extensive teaching and tutoring activities. During my first year I was a graduate teaching assistant. During my second year I taught my own classes. Being a part of the general education curriculum, these classes required an extensive amount of writing from the students. As such, I assisted many students in improving their grammatical skills, essay writing, and reading comprehension. My expertise in tutoring lies in these areas as well as history, social studies, and mathematics. Many times, students (and teachers!) rely too heavily on lazy workarounds and "cheats." I have found, however, that these techniques have only limited short-term benefits. Teaching is much more than rote memor

I absolutely love teaching and working with children and youth from all different backgrounds. I find a very healthy satisfaction in learning and then turning around to teach someone what I have learned. I tend to be a visual learner and teach others in the same way, although I try to adjust my teaching style to meet the student audience. If they are more tactile or kinesthetic, I will adjust so that they will learn at their pace. I enjoy discovery, and encourage others to discover and explore in order to learn new things. Math and science can excite the imagination to take off and grow in knowledge, if given the right environment of consideration, patience, and understanding. As an honors graduate, I have always been driven to excellence in anything I set my mind to. I have earned a BS degree in Business Finance, with emphasis in Accounting.

My teaching style is a nurturing style based upon positive reenforcement first pioneered by B. F. Skinner. I have taught all grades in my career.I prefer to build positive rapport with my students by being non-judgemental and non-threatening in my approach. I try to build a mentor relationship with my students. I find that this approach works well because the students level of confidence is high and they are much more receptive to learning.

Tutoring is my favorite way to interact with students academically. A reason for this is because one can present information most effectively for a specific student. There are little to no distractions, and the one on one setting can be much less intimidating for the student and lead to better performance and comprehension. Patience, listening, and adaptation are important factors in tutoring for me, as they allow for better presentation of the material. Students should be challenged, not overwhelmed or stressed out. At the end of the day, they should feel accomplished. I have studied math up until the calculus level, and have tutored students in high school on the mathematics problems of the SAT. Additionally, I have undergone rigorous writing classes in college. I have tutored vocabulary, poetry, and other types of writing as well. Spanish was one of my minors, and I achieved an ad

I believe in every child or person's ability to learn no matter what the challenge presented. I believe everyone has a unique way of learning and the key lies in capitalizing on the appropriate learning style. Patience is vital when teaching something new and to be one of my biggest strengths. I will do everything possible to ensure that your child excels. I am also willing to work with different cultures respecting all aspects of the same. As a native of another country, I was placed in the position of having to adapt and learn the English language quite quickly. Six months after my arrival, I was helping other children learn the language. In the years that have followed, I have had the pleasure of teaching/tutoring children and young people in the core academic subjects as well as diverse areas such as dance, language arts, etiquette, personal hygiene, self-esteem, and job skills.

I give students respect and try to be attentive to their needs. I familiarize myself with their strengths and weaknesses for the subject so that I can determine how I can best help them. I write down every step as I explain the answers, so they learn the mechanisms of problem solving for each class. They can take these lessons for further reference on how to learn other new problems. Also, I oversee their work to make sure they are making progress in preparation of their tests. I have a good system to oversee they learn the right skills to complete their work well. I have been pursuing my engineering degrees for 10 years, which began with prerequisites from a community college and ended with a PhD in a top-ten department of Materials Science in the country.
