I try to bring a combination of educational and professional experience to every session to allow people to understand the world around us. 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.

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

I have taugh for 35 years in Pinellas County Schools. I have taught Marketing, History, Geography, Reading, Journalism, Computer Education, Creative Writing, Interpretive Reading, Advertising, World Cultures, and Economics. I am certified in Social Studies, Business Education, Marketing Education, and working with Gifted Students. I have taught in both Middle and High School and am currently tutoring Elementary students in Reading and Math. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students. I will try to find out their weakness and strengths and tutor to their learning style. Everyone learns differently and I will take each individuals learning style and work with them to succeed in whatever subjects I am going over with them.

Upon enrolling my children in school, I decided to be an active part of their education. So, I assisted their teachers with everything I could. Eventually, I became a trusted part of the school system (an honorary teacher, so to speak). They began giving me more responsibilities, concerning the children of the school. I tutored hundreds of students to increase their FCAT results, single-handedly; I corrected documents, daily; I worked on setting up the computers for the teachers and students, and I trained both to use them. I even learned magic, so that I could help teach the students their studies, in a fun and exciting way. Previously, I opened my own computer shop, and thus, I had a tremendous advantage of all sorts of software, and Internet knowledge, that would help educate the students. Since I had an ADHD student at home (my son,) I was quite active with the ESE program. I helped

My career in education has spanned over 17 years and has included teaching in Special Education and regular education. I have a BS Degree in Special Education and a Masters Degree in Education. I have taught from preschool age to high school age in both Florida and New York. I am certified permanently in New York and held previous certification in Florida. I have also tutored in homes and in the public schools. I especially enjoy tutoring, as the environment and teacher-student ratio is much more conducive to student success. Because of my background in Special Education, I have learned to adapt curriculum to the individual levels and learning styles of my students. I have also learned that there are many creative ways to make learning more inviting for students. I have adapted many subjects to games and activities that students enjoy while learning. I have a patient spirit with stu

I love working with children and seeing them get excited to learn new information. I feel that all children are very capable of learning, just some need that extra one on one attention that is not possible to receive in a classroom setting. I love that look on a child's face when they finally grasp a new concept. By helping a child learn you are really changing their future. Even though I hold a business degree I have always had a love for working with children. As a college student I worked for two different families as a nanny, where I assisted a total of five children with their school work and projects among other things. After obtaining my BS in Finance from the University of Central Florida I went on to get married and work in a bank. It was shortly after that when I realized that my real passion was with children. When I became pregnant I left my banking position to be a st

Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way. I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.

I have taught students first starting at the preschool level. I have taught elementary students. For 7 years I have tutored Special Ed. Students at the High School level and younger. These classes were English, Math Science,History and Reading. I love teaching and working with all children. I became a teacher because I know that it is sometimes hard for children to learn. All children learn in different ways and speeds. I am patient, and understanding. I will not give up on any child they are our future. I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the riht tools and education. Children need to find out who they are and what they want from life.

The Multiple Intelligence Theory considers various possibilities for children’s (and adults’) capacity to learn. Gardner believes that there are any number of ways a person can be successful. I feel that all children are capable if they receive encouragement and that all children have a talent to offer. I also believe that talent and intelligence should be nurtured because everyone is special and has something to contribute to society. My career in education began thirteen years ago. I started by volunteering in my son's classes as well as in the library. While volunteering in the library, I taught children how to do to research, write essays and reports, construct Power Point presentations and, finally, how to present their work in front of their peers. I attended the substitute training course and, as a substitute, I have worked with children of all ages and backgrounds as well a

Through my experience I have developed my own techniques. I recognize the importance of individualizing instruction for each student. I also feel that a student's ability to excel is greatly increased by focused one-on-one instruction. I am currently enrolled in a graduate program for counselor education. I have a Masters in Education from Harvard University and have been teaching high school English in Westchester County, NY for the past three years. During my time as an undergraduate, I developed and supervised the tutoring program for the Minority Student Education Guild, which offered free tutoring to underprivileged students in the Gainesville area. I have had extensive tutoring experience in reading comprehension and writing at all levels and have also tutored students from elementary through early high school in math and science. Over the years, I have worked with students in

Apart from baseball, my second love is education. I feel that every student has the ability to grasp a subject or a certain idea. It is all a matter of finding out how that student learns. My main style of teaching is threw the Socratic method of dialogue and real world examples. However, I am very open minded, patient, out going, and I am not satisfied with doing things one-way. There are many different ways to climb a mountain but it is important to know the most productive. After graduating from Jacksonville University with a BS in Business Administration, I joined the field of professional baseball. I have been playing professionally in the Tampa Bay Rays’ organization for the past 5 seasons. During my off-seasons, I have been working for the Sarasota School Board as a preferred substitute mostly at Sarasota Middle School. I have taught in every subject at the middle school l

I believe that knowledge is one of the most important facet in developing a successful life. One of my favorite joys is to see another person learn something new and to make use of that knowledge in his life or career. Without education one is severely handicapped in the development of becoming a complete person. Education is the key. Realizing that people are all different, I am flexible in my teaching methods, slowing down or speeding up my delivery and/or the complexity of the material with each student. I believe that course development should be goal-oriented so that when the student progresses to successful completion of that goal, there is a sense of achievement. I served 20 years in the Navy, and during that period earned my BS Degree. Many of my assignments were in development and institution of training programs including Equal Opportunity/Race Relations, Leadership and Managem

Being a Finance graduate I have a strong foundation in mathematics. I have also taken additional courses at MCC up through Calculus 2 and have received my middle grades mathematics certification and ESE K-12 certification. I have been teaching special education for 3 years and tutoring for 4 years in reading, and elementary, middle, and high school math. I am currently working on a masters in special education with a concentration on behavior disorders as well as an autism endorsement. Being a special education teacher I understand completely that every student can learn, however they simply do it in a variety of ways. I like to teach to the different senses in the classroom-See it, Say it, and then do it. Not every student can sit and listen to a teacher explain something verbally, they need to experience it. When I work with a student one on one I try and find out what their part
