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.

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

Florida Writes is one of my top subjects!

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 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.

Specializing in language skills, logic, and reasoning.

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.

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. I welcome the opportunity to help you or your child with their educational needs ... read more

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an Americorp Literacy tutor, I spent two years tutoring inner-city children in reading, spelling, writing, study skills, and conflict resolution skills. I tutored second graders one-on-one and did activities with the entire class as well. I also mentored selected troubled students. The program only allowed for two years work maximum, or I would still be working there. I also worked in an abused boys home and helped the children with their homework every evening. Currently I am a graduate student at the University of South Florida in two masters programs. I maintain a 3.8 GPA, and I am a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society. My strong points are in the many Language Arts areas.
I enjoy tutoring people of all ages and all nationalities and skills levels. I also have mental health experience which would enable me to work with children with behavior problems. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with children. I believe that with love and nuturing each child can reach their full potential. My goal is to determine each child's strengths and to build on them. I will do this by getting to know each child on an individual basis - talking with them, conducting assessment testing, and monitoring them as they work. I feel that after doing so, I will better be able to structure my teaching style.
While attending Mississippi State University I tutored 3-12 graders. I tutored them in mathematics, English, and science. It was quite rewarding for me to work with these students because I was able to see immediate results. Not only in their work but also in their behavior. I was able to provide each of my students with personal attention that was necessary in order for them to grow. In addition, it brought me joy knowing that I was helping someone; a child, t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient person. I change my teaching methodology to suit the individual I am assisting. Some people are visual, some are auditory. I believe tutoring would be a great opportunity for me to enrich my skills, and help children as well as adults.
I am a recent college graduate from FAU with a BA in sociology, and a minor in women's studies. I enjoy reading and writing, and I am very creative. In my previous employment I helped with reading instructions, filling out forms, and instructing adults on what steps to take in order to properly fill out lengthy applications for their business.

More About This Tutor...

I taught for 5 years in public school and worked for an SES provider as a Program Manager. I am trained in Cayen and tutored for them as well. I am going back into the classroom at a Private school in New Port Richey and would also like a part time position tutoring. I have completed a level II background check and have the experience.
I feel that the SES students do need the extra help outside of the classroom. I feel they can only benefit from the individual attention that they do not receive in the Title I schools. Working with children is my passion and that is why I teach.

I have 14 years of teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary education in the fields of English/Language Arts, Social Studies/History, and a minor in French. I have taught English/Language Arts at every grade level in middle school and high school as well as the collegiate level. I currently teach in the Pasco School District and will be teaching AP Language and Composition.

Former students of mine have received "6" on the FCAT writes, Florida's standard writing tests.
