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.

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.
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.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but they each have their own learning style. They each have their own strengths, also. I like to encourage students who are struggling by showing them their strengths. Many times students become overwhelmed and discouraged when they are struggling in school. If they lose confidence in their ability to learn and achieve, it hinders their ability to learn. If a child is taught by someone who believes in him/her miracles can happen. One teacher can make all of the difference. I love being that teacher!
I graduated from USF in 2000. I have taught in public schools, private school, middle school, elementary school, and adults how to read and to speak English. I have always wanted to be a teacher, but somehow have not found my niche. I have tutored one my neighborhood kids in 6th grade math. English is my sp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In 1986, I achieved a BS in Education Degree with a triple major in English, Piano and Choral Music. Since then I have spent twenty-one years teaching seventh grade through college level courses. I have also tutored at those levels in English, Advanced Placement English, SAT preparation and College Application Essay preparation as well as in a variety of subjects at the elementary level. Additionally, I have published educational book reviews for the College Board and am in the process of completing a five book teaching series to be published in the near future. I have been a presenter and workshop leader at national conventions and local workshops as well as a reader for the national Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition Exam.

As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education.

I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my life I have tried to acquire a knowledge of the world around me. To meet this end, I was an English major with a Bachelors of Science degree and then I received a Masters in Geography. After school I worked with the U.S. Geological Survey studying water quality. While I loved this work and it taught me how to be a hard scientist, there was something missing. I ventured into teaching through environmental education. For two years I taught outdoor education, teaching grades K-8. I then moved to Florida where I gained my professional teaching certificate while teaching middle school science.
I value hands-on learning and discussion in teaching. Only when there is a discussion can our minds open to what is possible. Whether it is reading a passage, a novel, or an article and discussing what is said, what it could mean, and how it affects us or others or if is going ou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer to teach from where the student is. What I mean by this is that I get to know each student individually (his or her interests and strengths) and try to approach the lesson in a way that I believe would best benefit him or her.
I have nine years of experience as a Language Arts and Reading teacher at the secondary level. I received my Bachelor's degree in English Education. My Florida teaching certificate is current, and I have completed my Reading and ESOL endorsements.

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with children and making a difference has always been my passion. I believe that each child has their own way of learning and that the hallmark of a good educator is being able to discover what path that child needs to take. I am a patient and nurturing educator who is not adverse to using laughter and smiles to help my students feel comfortable when they are with me. My philosophy of learning is based on a hands-on approach; I believe that the best way for someone to learn to is to be shown how to do something, and then supported while they try it themselves.
I am a lifelong learner who recently completed my MS in Educational Leadership. I have always been self driven in my need to do the best that I can, which enabled to complete my new degree with a 4.0 in May.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with many types of learners from those not reading at all to those needing just a boost. I understand how to match a child's ability to a given level so he is learning but not frustrated. I believe in a fun and positive learning setting. I have many games and manipulatives to use in teaching. I also have a wonderful collection of children's books to supplement given teaching materials. Most of all I love seeing a child grow when the "light" goes "on" for him or her. The joy of seeing children succeed academically is not a mystery to me, but a lifelong and attainable goal for all children. I have never had an unteachable or unloveable child.
As an educator, I stayed at home until my own three children were in school. But I always kept my feet in part time work with adults and children needing help. I am an experienced teacher with over 11 years of teaching in programs ... read more
