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 have been driven toward teaching from the day I set foot on a college campus. While neither of my degrees are in education, they have been attained in the process of achieving my overall goal, the doctoral degree. The extent of my experience is in writing and public speaking. I am an accomplished speech and debate competitor and coach. I have presented my communication and writing research at several national and regional conventions. My teaching style owes to my youth. I use my familiarity with the concepts students are surrounded by in their own culture, I can help them better understand the academic ideas I am attempting to communicate. My student evaluations are consistently high, attesting to my goals of being enthusiastic and direct with my students. I am from a family of teachers, and I have learned from an early age what makes a strong teacher.

My Masters of Education studies included tutoring programs in structured reading and writing comprehension. I became a tutor for the Blake Learning Center at American International College, Springfield. MA.

Moving to Florida in 1994, I began teaching home-schooled children in group settings for Pasco and Pinellas County, various visual arts classes at the Pasco Arts Center and St. Petersburg College. I also taught humanities courses at Trinity College of Florida and Microsoft Office at HCC and Special Education classes at USF. The minds of children are fascinating to me. The first thing I do with my students is discover what is important to them, how they feel about school, what problems they are having. Children learn in different ways; the secret to te

I derive great satisfation when I see my student learning their subject. We never should not assume that any child does not have the the skills to learn. We need to find ways and alternatives that could help them. Every student have the capacity to learn. We need to be open and use any tools available as a computer, softwares and a good attitude. I have had the opportunity to work for private educational settings in Hillsborough County, as a Teacher Assistant.

I believe a successful learning environment is composed of equal parts hard work and fun. Success breeds success, so my style involves building expertise through positive reinforcement as the student achieves progressively from the simple to the more complex. Throughout this process, I strive to connect what is being learned to the real world in order to show the student the value of what is being learned. I have been an educator since 1974, teaching from grade 7 through the college undergraduate level. At the high school level, I taught English and government. During my college career, I was a faculty member in the Department of Kinesiology. Additionally, I ran the athletic study halls which involved tutorial work in numerous subjects. As a professional writer, I am skilled in all aspects of the English language.

I love interacting with children. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn any subject given the approprate attention and attitude. The greatest pleasure for me is seeing the faces of these children when they understand something that they were having difficulty with. My overall goal and objective is to just to help and if I can reach one child I would consider that a success. I have not had any formal experience teaching however I did take two semesters of early childhood education in college as well as two semesters of internship in elementary schools. I have tutored several students including my younger brother and his classmates. I feel that my broad education and personal experience as well as my personality encourages as well as inspires the children I have tutored. I tutored students in English, Algebra and Geometry.

As a college graduate, I am very passionate and motivated to achieveing a higher level of education. I have earned a BA in sociolgy and plan to go back to school to obtain my master's in medical social work and possibly a PHD, also in medical social work. Sociology has taught me many ways to approach various situations and extensive writing, research, and grammatical skills. All which are due to writing research papers and participating in a variety of different research studies. In high school and for the past year, I have tutored students and enabled them to excel in reading, writing, and Spanish. I love teaching and helping all children. I believe that each child is different and needs different methods to help them better understand the material set before them. No one child can learn the same exact way as another, which is why I work at the pace of your child and at a level t

I enjoy teaching. It has become a passion because of the self-rewarding results. Children learn in different ways; some are visual, kinesthetic, or audio learners; in addition, some children come from various cultural and domestic environments and each child needs their individual taylored program or style of learning. The instructor needs to be flexible with his/her approach with each individual. My goal is to empower children to succeed and progress in their academic world. I spent 7 years as a college professor, middle school Spanish, and one year as program director of the criminal justice and paralegal studies at a 'for-profit' institution. I spent most of my working career teaching young people in very diverse environments and people of many cultures. I spent 3 years as a detective investigating juvenile crime and part of the investigation was the rehabilitation involved rather tha

Throughout high school and college, I found that no teacher can teach to every student and that no student learns well from every teacher. What I have not found is a student who is incapable of learning a subject through careful studying and tutoring. When tutoring, I simplify the fundamentals of subjects so that the core material is easier to understand. At the University of South Florida I mentored for two years through an organization and obtained various scholarships for my academic accomplishments. If you have any questions about myself, please feel free to ask. Throughout college and high school, I always aspired to learn and took the most difficult courses. I recently graduated from the University of South Florida and earned a BS in Biology. My major course work was in biology, physics, calculus, and other physical sciences. I am also fluent in spanish, great at proofreading and a
