Specializing in language skills, logic, and reasoning.

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.

My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : Experienced with writing rubrics,administration and scoring papers.

I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading. 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.

Florida Writes is one of my top subjects!

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 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.

Patient, Engaging, Effective Tutor

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). Some of my past students had learning disabilities, such as Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, or diagnosed as "Slow Learner." Several of these students were being medicated and were repeating at least one grade. I was able to help them with their educational needs. I have an extensive academic background, possessing AA, BA, and MA degrees. I have a reputation for high personal integrity and positive results. All of my students have made significant improvements as I worked with them. In addition to tutoring, I have proctored grade school students in various subjects and adult learners in the GED as well as employment exams.

My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : 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 and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of Florida A&M University I have always had a high regard for education. In earning a Bachelor's degree in Social Work I have gained a deeper understanding of the needs of people. In addition, I have been able to enhance my grammatical and reading skills with each research paper I've written. During the last eleven years I have worked with at-risk youth helping them to develop their social and professional development skills. I'm also a mentor.
I love working with the youth and have done so for the last eleven years. While working with at-risk youth I've always had the belief that every child has the ability to learn, just in different ways. I believe in the three learning styles; Visual (sight), Auditory (hearing), and Kinesthetic (moving.) Once you can pin-point a child's learning style, the sky is the limit to what they can achieve. I've always done my bes ... read more

I believe that children need to find a reason to have a goal of being educated. Coming from a small town and having such a global perspective, I love helping children see their place in this vast world and that they are an important global citizen. I try to show them through energetic discovery, that all this "boring stuff" leads to much more interesting and and fun stuff. Children need to know that they are important assets to us all and that they are more than capable of over acheiving whatever they set out to do.
Studying French and Russian Studies at Stetson allowed me gain more than a grasp on those two languages, but insight to the cultures, an appreciation for and ability to interpret literature and poetry, a deeper understanding of history, geography, and politics as well as a desire to share all of this with others.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that each person has value and carry specific gifts to contribute to their community. As a teacher, I think it is part of my job to help each student to believe in themselves, and to believe that they are valuable. It is up to me to provide an atmosphere in which the student feels secure and appreciated enough to be open to what they are learning. My goal is to create a warm and caring environment in which a student can do his or her best.
A 2008 graduate of Florida Southern College, I have spent much of my time studying teaching and eucation. I have earned a bachelors degree in Special Education, which has shown me the many different ways people learn, and ways to best work with those with different learning styles. I have spent four years tutoring elementary age students in a variety of subjects.

I recently graduated with a Masters in Teaching from the University of South Florida. I also have earned a BA in History from St. Cloud State University. I have previous experience working at a private school in tampa as a classroom assistant. I also have experience tutoring primary and secondary students in reading and math.
I personally believe that all students should be treated equitably rather than equally. We as educators must realize that our students are individuals and deserve to be treated as so. We must realize certain techniques work for a few and not the entire group. It is our responsibility as educators to encourage our students to reach their potential and provide a safe learning environment in which to do so.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have over a years experience volunteering in the Elem. level education, and I am presently finishing up my Bachelors Degree In elem. Education online with the University Of Phoenix. I am very patient and understanding to a child's needs in weak areas of learning. If learning is made to be creative fun and challenging I have found that they will strive to want to learn.
I love working with children, I have 3 of my own two of them are on the honor roll,Learning style is different to kids and their needs. For example you maybe able to go over material once with a child and they get it and others it takes more time or you have to ask them more questions about their interests and base the learning activity geared toward their interests, this will hold their attention and they will want to learn the material.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have learned that teaching students is about helping students reach their potential. Students need a teacher that believes in them. I help my students find their inner drive to succeed. To me this is what teaching is about, fostering a love of learning and self driven desire to achieve whatever the students dreams and goals may be. I show students that they are in charge of their own learning. I am patient and understanding, as a mother of two young sons, ages 7 and 2, I ensure that I treat all of my students with the same respect that I want my children to be treated with. I go to work each day prepared to make a difference in a child's life.
I have always had a desire to teach. While attending The University of South Florida I tutored middle school students in all subjects and taught pre-school. I am currently teaching 8th grade Reading at an A school. I teach Intensive Intensi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a high school student, I tutored elementary and middle school students in their homes. In college, I tutored elementary age migrant children after school in english, math, and with homework studies. I also have three years experience in a public school system as a substitute teaching all grades in all subjects ranging from math and english to agriculture and special education.
I teach according to each student's learning style. I pay special attention to verbal and physical queues to understand if and how I need to change my style. I have learned that not all students can learn in the same manner and need specialized teaching in order to achieve the greatest success.

More About This Tutor...

I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to verbal teaching, while others prefer visual teaching, or others like to interact with their environment (the hands on approach). Each child has their own language. I believe that a teacher must do whatever is necessary to reach the student so that he can learn. Learning should be fun and enjoyable! I love seeing a child understand a new concept; it is like learning all over again. Today, few students and for that matter parents enjoy mathematics. Mathematics would best be taught by those who love it so they can pass their love of the subject onto their students.
Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the r ... read more
