Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Encinitas, CA

My focus has always been reaching students who may have fallen through the cracks or those who have not been given enough of a chance. I believe that all students have the right to a positive, equal, and challenging education. I love working with kids of all ages and know from my experiences, that no two kids learn in the exact same way. I take literacy education and writing very seriously and think that there are no greater skills to be taught then those of personal literacy. Students need to have examples who champion these skills in their lives and create a sense of desire to pursue them. Strong examples in my life have led me to my love of reading and writing; I would not be where I am without having had them in my life. One of the most important things I have learned so far in my career is that no one teacher can save every single student he or she comes into contact with. We ca

Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good teaching method, and assist students to learn the material better, faster and easier. As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years.

With 2 Masters Degrees in both business and education, and having taught different levels of mathematics for University of Phoenix Online for the past 3 years, I offer strong training background. Additionally, working for San Dieguito Unified HS District and La Jolla Country Day School as a substitute teacher for the past two years, I have learned to quickly develop rapport with middle and high school students. I believe it is better to establish classroom guidelines first, and at the same time establish a good relationship with my students, to get through the work that the students need to do, then relax a bit to have fun with learning. I enjoy being in the classroom or tutoring one-on-one, and based on feedback from students, parents and other teachers, students enjoy working with me as well. I consider these testimonies proof I am an effective teacher and tutor.

I believe in a student centered environment where the student needs are met through discovery, direct questioning and a guided independent learning environment. Working as a teacher includes researching to present new information to learners. It also includes being available for student-parent conferences to report on the progress of the student and to answer any questions about tests and scheduling of new test and teaching requirements. I have worked as an administrator in charge of a tutoring program where I hired math and reading tutors. My experience included training and mentoring tutors hired in the program. Also, I have worked as a 7th grade math teacher and 8th grade pre-algebra teacher for one year. This included writing lesson plans, teaching basic math and pre-algebraic math concepts, grading papers and attending team meetings.

As a graduate of PLNU, I always new that I wanted the challenge to teach High school. I have always been driven in education, whether is it working with youth in a camp setting or a class room setting. I feel that not everyone works well in a class room and that is okay.

As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach students that others cannot. I don't ever attempt to mold the student to fit some preconception but rather help the student discover their strengths and deficiencies in such a way as to make their study less daunting and less mystifying. In this way the student will become a more successful learner. After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of
