A Little Bit About Me...

Upon enrolling my children in school, I decided to be an active part of their education. So, I assisted their teachers with everything I could. Eventually, I became a trusted part of the school system (an honorary teacher, so to speak). They began giving me more responsibilities, concerning the children of the school. I tutored hundreds of students to increase their FCAT results, single-handedly; I corrected documents, daily; I worked on setting up the computers for the teachers and students, and I trained both to use them. I even learned magic, so that I could help teach the students their studies, in a fun and exciting way. Previously, I opened my own computer shop, and thus, I had a tremendous advantage of all sorts of software, and Internet knowledge, that would help educate the students. Since I had an ADHD student at home (my son,) I was quite active with the ESE program. I helped ... read more

As a PhD graduate and a mental health professional, I have taught at a variety of proprietary schools in Florida. I earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology, which enabled me to focus on people and their various personalities, as well as a broader understanding of social sciences. I then achieved a Doctorate from Syracuse University. This degree prepared me for academics and research areas. I have extremely superior writing skills and I have taught psychology, sociology, algebra, college success, English and research design. I have tutored students in all of these areas as part of my adjunct professor duties. I love teaching, have written many research papers, created actual studies, and have my dissertation published in Dissertation Abstracts.

A Little Bit About Me...

I started my experience as a counselor at YMCA for 4 years. Here I discovered that I had a passion for teaching young minds. I went on to working for MOSI as a teachers assistant for 2 years. Here I was able to practice my teaching style by tutoring and teaching children with science experiments. I applied to Nova in 2008 to get my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I just recently finished my internship teaching 5th grade at Garden Grove Elementary School in Winter Haven. I have passed the General Knowledge and Professional Education exam and am still in the process of taking and passing my Subject Area test in Elementary Education.

My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to enhance their study skills. For me, learning any new subject begins with learning its language. For example, in math and science, vocabulary and usage are keys to understanding processes basic to any application. Finally, I welcome the opportunity to explore you or your child's talents, helping to identify and adapt a personal style of learning to ensure educational success. )

I believe I have a good mental connection with children. Teaching Math is not just about solving problems, using specific methods, equations & formulas that the student has to memorize, and then will forget after a couple days. It's about understanding the problems, it's about knowing where the problem is, and how to solve it using basic Math knowledge and some axioms, step by step, even reinventing the answer, if possible. Teaching Spanish is a lot different, its more methodical, I use some mnemonic "tricks" for the kids & adults to remember the important words & translations.
My best skill is Math, I have always been proficient at it. As an Engineer, I have had the opportunity to learn more and take advantage of this skill, and I want to share it, I love teaching. I am also a member of MENSA. I have been tutoring children and adults since 1999, teaching Math, Physics & Spanish. ... read more

Recently, I completed a course for Writing for Children and Teenagers and have experience researching and writing articles on a variety of topics. In addition to strong math skills, I have the ability to teach grammar, writing, and reading skills.
