Brain Builder-Building the Brain without the Pain

I have learned through my experiences of teaching individuals with disabilities that a great teacher needs to be flexible in their teaching styles. I am very self-reflective and am constantly looking for ways to help students overcome difficulties with learning. I have a very energetic teaching style and am enthusiastic about learning different subjects as well.
I have been in the teaching field for close to 10 years. My experience has consisted of teaching Special Education and Adults with Disabilities. I also have had experience teaching Elementary and Middle School students in Reading and Math. I have a Masters degree in English Education from the University of South Florida. I am also a Florida Certified teacher in English 6-12 with Reading and ESOL Endorsements and ESE K-12.

More About This Tutor...

My name is Perry Miles. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring and have attended some of the best schools in the country. I went to the Newhouse School (at Syracuse University) and studied broadcast journalism to get my bachelors Degree before earning my Masters in Health Informatics from USF Tampa this past December. Since I have moved from the Northeast to Florida, I have been able to help students prepare for the school year and improve grades in all areas. I try to combine my educational background with my professional experience to interest the students and help them apply knowledge. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send an email to perrym86@gmail.com or call me at (718) 309-4242.
I try to bring a combination of educational and professional experience to every session to allow people to understand the world around us.

My comments on tutoring Literature : Graduate degree in English and American Literature. Taught English at secondary and college levels.

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

Everyone deserves to love learning!

I am a recent graduate, having majored in biology and environmental studies. During my time in college I also had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for a genetics lab and took part in an environmental education program in New Hampshire. My science and liberal arts background makes the the ideal candidate to teach a variety of subjects in ways that are interesting and informative to students.
Relaxed, informal- students each learn in their own way, my objective is to learn from about an individual and cater to their own educational needs.

Literature is one of my top subjects! I have a Master's Degree in American Literature and have completed all of my coursework on my Ph.d. I have taught American, British, World and Caribbean Literature courses for decades. I am especially adept at showing students that the study of literature is exciting and fun. I am patient with those who really don't like literature very much but only study it because it's required. I can "open it up" and make it easily understandable.

I have been a college and university professor of English for over three decades. I have also taught many history and humanities courses. I have taught all ages, from junior high students through traditional college-ages students to adults and seniors. I make learning fun and easy. I enjoy working with students of many nationalities, interests and cultures.
I am a serious, dedicated professional educator who is also hip, easygoing and fun. I enjoy teaching and I will make sure you enjoy learning from me.

Portuguese & Englsih tutor with over 10 years of experience

Over 10 years of experience in working with English and Continental Portuguese (tutoring, interpreting and translating). I lived and worked in Portugal for over 1 year, and I have been living in the USA for 5 years. The combination of living in a native environment and having Master's Degrees in Portuguese and English gives me a very good comprehension of grammar, literature, culture and history, among other areas.

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...

I have an extensive background in various areas, such as Science, Technology, and Swimming Instruction. I have always enjoyed teaching and helping those who are struggling in a particular subject. During the past 6 years, I have helped students in their reading skills, vocabulary, elementary math, science and computer technology during my employment at Girls Incorporated in Sarasota.
I have been to several trainings on teaching methods and how to become the best teacher. Through my own experience, I know that all students are capable of learning, but each has their own unique way of doing so. I like to incoporate visual and hands-on activities and when possible, teach in an informal setting. I like to provide an atmosphere of fun and excitement while teaching a subject. I like to provide as much positive feedback as possible and add humor to my lessons. I find that students respond ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I possess a very eclectic and kinesthetic teaching style. I believe that children learn best when as many senses as possible are used in teaching them. When a child sees, hears, touches, smells, and sometimes tastes what they are learning, their brains are using multiple connections to hardwire whatever you are trying to teach them, therefore they will be more apt to remember than if taught by rote. I also believe that it's necessary to think about their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being while they are learning. Children need to move. They will not retain as much information if they are not given breaks in routine at least every 15 to 20 minutes. Their intellect needs to be stimulated, they will not retain information they believe to be irrelevant. Therefore, it is our job as educators to show them how they can apply what they learn to their everyday environm ... read more

Substitute teaching doesn't require a teaching style. I just needed to show up and pray I didn't get shot. I did get a taste for teaching and new that the classroom experience as a career wasn't for me. I never met a happy teacher. One-on-one tutoring however, is a different story and would be a viable fit.
Student Teaching, substitute teaching for Jefferson County School (KY) and Sarasota County School Systems (FL). I have had teaching certificates for Kentucky, New York and Florida. All have since expired

I enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages! I believe that all children can learn if given the opportunity to succeed.

As a graduate of the University of Central Florida’s Liberal Arts program, I have gained knowledge and experience in a variety of subject areas.

More About This Tutor...

I have my professional certification in Elementary K-6 and Physical Education K-12. I recently taught Kindergarten and I have more than 30 years experience working with children of all ages. Along with teaching I have twice owned my own school and been the Director of many schools and summer camps. My strength has always been teaching Mathematics and I am taking the certification test next week.
One of my gifts with working with children has always been the ability to relate well with them. I know what motivates children and have always shown patience and understanding. I have always tried to have children learn while having fun and try to give them multiple experiences because not all children learn in the same way.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a passionate educator with five years of teaching experience ranging from middle school through high school. I have three years of administrative experience in a K-8 program. During my tenure I was responsible for writing curriculum and assisting teachers with implementation. My area of strength is literacy. I am a reading teacher first and know how to effectively diagnosis a child’s reading deficiency and create a plan of action to assist the child to become a better reader. I am fluent in mathematical concepts through Algebra II and have strong creative writing skills.
I am a true believer that in order to effectively teach a child you must know the child’s learning style. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory. This method of teaching is essential in the tutoring aspect. I am a practitioner of culturally responsive teaching, which uses the cultural know ... read more
