I have been a full-time tutor since 2009, and have worked with almost 500 students!

I tutor in my home, in Palm Harbor (off Tampa Rd., near Belcher), and have converted the front part of my home into a tutoring studio, where I provide a quiet, distraction-free, positive learning environment with many hands-on materials and other resources.

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 taught

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.

I believe that implementing the right tools, along with clearly stating what the student needs to learn, along with discussion, will ensure student success.Using multisensory resources, creatively using the newly formed knowledge, along with pre-testing will foster memory and recall. The experience I have gained while studying Education and Psychology, along with administrating exams for Wonderlic Scholoastic Testing and tutoring has enabled me to learn through understanding, hard work and dedication. I have learned through extensive courses in Psychology on how we learn, education courses that break learning down, and working with children and adolescence for over ten years with tutoring and patience, that with the proper tools and guidance, anything can be achieved.

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. 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

Qualified in this subject by WyzAnt. For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education.

In a little under two years, I have spent my teaching experience abroad, splitting time between contract work in South Korea and Costa Rica as an English Language Instructor of both Elementary and Adult Language Education in 2nd Language Acquisition. In my experience, I came to understand that teaching language covers more than just the basics of speech and pronunciation, but developing ways in which to effectively communicate in which both teacher and student are able to relate the same ideas with one another, which include not only the areas of reading, writing, and speech, but also areas of math, science, art, physical education and wellness, and music as well. I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles.

My career in teaching and counseling has covered several regions of the USA and international work in two foreign countries. Besides teaching in a classroom setting, I have enjoyed tutoring experiences in writing labs at the college level and extensive tutoring situations with foreign nationals, elementary through high school age. My expertise in Language Arts, my personal writing, my travel journals – all add to my ability and enjoyment in teaching others the joys of reading and writing. I am very comfortable with math, science, and history at the elementary and middle school levels. My experience with college and career counseling at the high school level would be valuable to high school students. Most rewarding for a teacher is seeing the difference she makes in her students’ lives. When I began teaching to smaller groups and individual students, I realized how dynamic personal att

My ideal teaching style is by using questions and challenging my students to get the answers. I am very consistent as well on memorization and reading. Classical education - namely the Aristolean method - is something I strongly advocate. I have tutored both college-age and high school students for a number of years, and my strong areas are History, English, and Social Science. I have also served as a Sunday School teacher for middle-school students and adults.

I graduated from USF with a bachelor's degree in English and nearly an additional bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences. During my time in college, I have had work published in the undergraduate literary journal, received nearly a 4.0 GPA in my major (English), and was featured on blogs of the St. Pete Times. I also was selected out of numerous students from around the world to attend an F. Scott Fitzgerald Conference in London. Not only do I have experience in English composition, I also have a background in writing for the sciences. This diverse education has enabled me to tutor many different ages in all studies. Teaching came naturally to me, and I understand why. I was originally taught at the kitchen counter of an oversized farmhouse. My mom taught me to read along with other basic skills; this enabled me to skip a grade and enriched me with a great love for learning.

As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. In addition, I taught Drama, Speech, Creative Writing, Script Writing and Math at local Cooperative Groups in the state of Florida. The growth that each student achieves is my best reward. I love learning and love to pass that on. In tutoring, I first work at instilling confidence and apply small victories to achieve that goal. I find the learning style of the student and modify the information in ways that can make them more successful. I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of yo

I graduated in 1981 with a BA from New York University in Computer Science; minor in English Literature. I worked several years as a computer programmer and technical writer. I left the workforce to raise my family. I was a foster parent for several years and have worked extensively with special needs children. I have worked for Pinellas County Schools as a substitute teacher for over 12 years. I enjoy teaching all subject areas and age groups, specializing in english, mathematics, and science. In 1999, I returned to college. As a graduate student I tutored medical and veterinary students in the advanced sciences. I have published several articles on canine glaucoma and white-nose syndrome in bats. My teaching style is based upon and centered around the learning style and age of the individual student. Every student learns differently. As a teacher I consider myself successful if I ca

I believe all children can enjoy eating broccoli. I find this works best if the broccoli is smothered with cheese and accompanied on the plate with something fried. I have found that overeating is a very effective way to teach the student dangerous gastric consequences. I demonstrate this by ordering pizza, allowing them to eat as much as they want, and then immediately afterwards giving them free reign to various quarts of ice cream. I know I can make a difference in every students' stomach. After graduating cum laude from Yale University with a PhD in Eating, I interned for two years at Dunkin Donuts, fine tuning my skills in eating pastries. I've also spent two summers eating in various food malls, specializing in China One, Chick Fil-A, and Baskin Robins. I have tutored students Overeating, Pizza, and Alka Seltzer.
