I have tutored students in many subjects, including language arts, math, science, and reading. I have worked with students under NCLB and with FCAT (Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test program).

I have strong classroom management skills and a passion for helping kids gain a better understanding for anything under the sun! I have high expectations of what my students can do, and help support them in achieving those expectations. My philosophy is that "can't" is the worst 4 letter word in the dictionary, as a result, I work to motivate my students to become life long learners and to enjoy learning new things. I began working with children at the age of 10 in the capacity of babysitter/activities director. As a teen I began working in daycare centers and have worked in the capacity of teacher/assistant teacher/ director/owner. I have taught public school in Florida and the Bronx, NY over the past 5 years. I have worked as a drop-out prevention teacher and have had the privileged to work with a large number of disadvantaged and at-risk students.

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

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

A positive environment and methodology is very important in the learning experience - especially if that learning experience is rooted in frustration. I do my best to connect the concept to a student's personal experience so they may relate and build confidence. Humor can be critical too. I work hard to create buy in from the students so they have a genuine stake in their learning and a true partnership in discovering how to master concepts. I want to learn how they learn best so we can increase success and apply those methods when we are experiencing a learning block. All students can learn and be successful, we all have different ways of reaching that success. I love working and learning with students of all ages. I enjoyed working in a magnet high school that concentrates on leadership, career development, and breaks the mold teaching methods. I earned a Masters degree in Library

Learning should be interesting and fun. I am very friendly and easy to get to know, so my sessions have a very light, comfortable feel to them. I have been called the most patient person in the world, and it seems I have been given the ability to keep a cool head in every situation. I absolutely adore children and I take personal care to encourage them and compliment every bit of success they achieve, no matter how small. I take the time to get to know them, because I have found that their personal lives can greatly affect their success in school. Working with kids has been a thoroughly fulfilling experience for me. During the past seventeen years, I have had the privilege of home-schooling my two children and their cousin. I have taught many subjects, including, but not limited to reading, spelling, English composition, math, Algebra, research skills, Science, and American Governm
