My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : Taught state test writing preparation for many years in Massachusetts public alternative schools. Tutor extensively to prepare students for state and college exams.

I believe that all students can and will achieve academic success given appropriate instruction; i.e., instruction that is differentiated according to students' specific needs, learning styles, interests, and personal goals. As a classroom teacher and as a personal tutor, I have seen almost miraculous results in a relatively short period of time, both in terms of academic achievement and student confidence. Passion and enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and I am a carrier. For a dedicated instructor, nothing is more satisfying than watching a student "catch" the learning bug.
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 t ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Tutoring is not my part-time job, it is a full time endeavor. I tutor in many subjects including Elementary, Middle and High School curriculums. I tutor all ages. By working with my students, their parents and teachers, we formulate a plan and goals for our sessions. Sometimes I am a tutor for a test, or a coach for a project or a study skills adviser. I have experience working with students with ADHD and those with specific learning issues and IEP's.

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.

Specializing in language skills, logic, and reasoning.

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 University of South Florida, and serve as a freelance consultant for an aspiring media entertainment company. In addition, my Bachelor’s Degree in Literary Studies, Associates Degree in Education, and professionally polished communication skills are invaluable as a tutor. I have learned to be disciplined and skilled in the acquisition of critical thinking, written communication, analysis, logic and reasoning.

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.

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.

I have long wanted to be a teacher! I love teaching and working with children. Every student is different and I believe it is my responsibility to seek out and cater to all students' needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored in middle school and high school. I tutored students at a local learning center in all grades in English, Reading and Math. As an elementary school teacher, I taught Math, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, and FCAT prep.
I believe that a positive environment is neccessary for learning to take place. I believe in giving specific praise when it is earned. I love helping children discover their own abilities and talents. I know that each child learns differently and that each child can learn and excel academically. I enjoy being a part of that journey to discovery.

More About This Tutor...

Freshness of ideas, participative decision-making, and openness to suggestions characterizes my preferred teaching style. My experience has taught me that school curriculum should start with the long-term goals of making meaning and transference of learning. As an educator, I strive to be sure my students: a. acquire important information and skills,and b. transfer learning to new situations. Teaching with meaning and transfer requires authentic demands and application of the new skills and information. Students will not perform, and learning will be short term if they are not given authentic learning opportunities. It truly does take a village to raise a child. I am proud to be a member of this village.
I have been an educator for over sixteen years. The more years I work in education, the more I have come to realized that educators are life coaches, and change ag ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Educating is a passion of mine. I love leading the children down the road to self discovery. I believe in meeting the needs of the child based on observation. I have been described as kind, patient, warm, creative, and fair. All children can learn with the proper environment, tools, and educator. Not all children learn the same way that is why it is so important to observe the child as an individual and set individual goals.
I have 10 years of experience educating, instructing, advising, leading and mentoring young children and adults. I am creative and patient as evident from my educational background: AA in Liberal Arts and minor in Fine Arts, a BA in Video/TV Production and minor in Fine Arts, and a MA in Elementary Education. I hold a current professional teaching certificate in the state of FL. I have three years teaching experience in Hillsborough county and a little over ... read more
