About Me

Experience Summary

The most rewarding part of tutoring is seeing the smiles on their faces! That smile comes from the effort that results in understanding and achievement. My goal in tutoring is to help and assist your child in every way possible to accomplish success in school and throughout life. Reading is key to basic learning. I like to incorporate several main skills when tutoring such as grasping a difficult concept, learning a new way to solve a subject assignment and to significantly attain better improvements in school. I love watching the transformation that takes place when my students enjoy and have fun with a new skill they had previously struggled with. I specialize in reading, comprehension and phonemic awareness. I truly enjoy working with students to overcome obstacles which are hindering their progress in school. My lessons are personalized to match your child's learning style and may include games/puzzles/worksheets, reading activities, flashcards, word studies, student contribution and of course spending time getting to know each student! I respect each child's unique perspective and pace. My experience includes seven years as a Seminole County Public School elementary guest teacher, four years as a teacher/tutor at Huntington Learning Center and work as a private tutor. I also have a CDA and VPK Staff Credential from the Florida Department of Children and Families. I have had wonderful opportunities teaching and tutoring many children in many different roles including one-to-one tutoring. Encouragement and individual attention contribute to a confident and successful student. I look forward to being a part of your child's academic victories.

Subject Commentary

Basic Learning Skills Proficiency: Experienced
When I worked as a tutor at Huntington Learning Center, I tutored elementary aged students in basic learning skills such as writing, math and reading. I have also taught phonics in an elementary reading intervention program. After working with Kindergartners with low assessment scores they were ready to be promoted into first grade.
Elementary Grammar Proficiency: Experienced
I enjoy teaching Grammar to children. My techniques include the use of small lessons into a basic writing activity. I use examples of language, past and present tenses along with grammar rules. My tutoring experience includes work with Huntington Learning Center
Elementary Phonics This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I have taught phonics as an Elementary School Instructional Assistant. I worked on a reading intervention program that included phonics for young students. My lesson plans included a variety of phonic instruction such as blending, rhyming and syllable activities. I have also taught phonics as an elementary guest teacher.
Elementary Reading This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I love to teach reading! From Phonics and letter recognition to sight words and stories! Reading is key to learning. I have helped many children develop reading skills by working on basic activities such as sounding out letters and word recognition. My seven years of experience as an elementary guest teacher gave me the opportunity to work with students to gain reading comprehension skills. As a tutor, I've also incorporated different books and stories for each child.
Elementary Study Skills Proficiency: Experienced
As a tutor, I have taught study skills such as eliminating distractions when doing, use of flashcards and organization of their school folder. Doing homework as soon as possible is another way for children to retain and understand the subject that is being taught in their class.
Elementary Vocabulary This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Experienced
All of my tutoring and teaching assignments have included vocabulary lessons. I have worked with students to help them learn new words and meaning. Vocabulary work usually involved reviewing definitions, adding new words and memorization. Working with Huntington Learning Center included vocabulary tutoring in context with sentence placement and comprehension.
