Student centered learning is the focus of my instruction. In my experience, a student's individual needs and personality drive instruction. Once an educator has identified the student's strengths and weaknesses, they can use the student's strengths to support their weaknesses. For the past thirty-three years, I have educated students ranging in age from five through adulthood, including those at the graduate level. I am a certified educator in Illinois, and hold a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Florida Southern College, and a Master of Arts in Reading Education from the University of South Florida. In addition to my graduate degrees, I have been trained as a reading coach to certified educators in reading instruction.To add to my professional credentials, I am a published author in association with Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society for educators, and I have been featured on the podcast channel entitled, New Teacher Talk on the topic of Virtual Tutoring.Literacy has become my passion in education. In working with students as a Varsity tutor for the past four years, I have been able to increase their reading and writing skills by two or three grade levels plus. Presently, I am experiencing success with students who are challenged in reading and writing because of issues with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. I also work with students who are at different verbal levels of communication. No matter where a student is in their educational development, once they have attained some level of proficiency in both reading and writing skills, they possess the tools of a self-learner.

All individuals can learn when they are challenged and given clear instructions, guidelines, and demonstrations. I have been teaching for over 20 years grade levels Pre-K to post high school. I am a Deaf/Hard of Hearing adult who is fluent in Spoken English and American Sign Language. I hold a Doctor of Philosophy (Phd) in Special Education. I believe learning should be enjoyable and that all students can be successful with appropriate guidance.Dr. Rebecca Darden-Perry

I am grateful for this opportunity to tutor you! My life has always been one of service and helping others. I am very excited to work with you. Together we will accomplish your educational goals.

Each classroom has its own diverse and unique community. My role as the teacher will be to assist each child in developing their own potential, confidence, and learning styles. I believe that all children have something special that they can bring to the classroom community. I am committed to creating a safe, equitable, and welcoming environment that supports students growth. I am committed to encouraging my students to express themselves and embrace the differences of others. I will incorporate hands-on learning, social-emotional learning, cooperative learning, and individual work that engages and activate students' learning. I will present a curriculum that will incorporate each different learning style and accommodations for students, as well as culturally relevant practices.

My dreams and aspirations are around science and medicine.Even though my career has taken various turns, my passion was in teaching. I completed my high school diploma and graduated from Palmetto Senior High. I got into Miami Dade College, where I enrolled in the science department and majored in biology.During my first semester at Miami Dade College, I won a full tennis scholarship, which helped with tuition and books. After graduating with an Associate of Arts degree, I won another tennis scholarship to St. Thomas University.There, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. As an athlete, I traveled frequently. I was fortunate to experience many different cultures and meet people of various backgrounds. It has enabled me to be flexible and versatile to unexpected turns and twists in life. Maturity provided a stable ground that kept me in the direction I face today.During my college attendance, I volunteered for Jackson Memorial and Baptist Hospital of Miami. It was there that I devoted my time and energy to humanity. I developed a vast understanding of the world of medicine. I volunteered many hours in The Burn Center, Trauma Unit, Pediatric, ICU, ER, and Pathology.cI then got accepted to Barry University, where I received a Master's degree in biomedical sciences. The education and experience I have received have given me the confidence, knowledge, and well-rounded background in medicine and science.I then entered medical college (Xavier University School of Medicine), which provides the knowledge and art of healing the human body. It encompassed many healthcare practices developed to sustain and restore an individual's health.I finally graduated with my MD degree. I could not imagine not being a part of such an exciting, exhilarating, and rewarding field as science and medicine.

I am a current Social Work/Psychology student at Arizona State University. I am very passionate about giving back and helping students progress in school and in life. I've had many positions helping students, from tutoring, coaching, mentoring, and teaching. My experiences include a behvioral technician with children with Autism, hands on teacher's aid and mentor at many different schools throughout the state of Wisconsin, volunteer for military children in Texas, volunteer and tutor at multiple community Boy's and Girls clubs, and many other positions involving the adavancement of children. My tutoring style is very simple fun and sweet. Keeping my tutoring philosphy as easy as possible by helping children with subjects that they struggle with. My goal is to always make tutoring fun but keeping focus so retaining information can become easier for children. I tutor in all subjects, including college level courses.

I am a 6th year teacher who loves to help! Math and reading are two of my favorites but sometimes math can be superior (lol)! Let's learn some things together.

My goal has been and always will be putting students first. No matter what a district will demand, my students come first. When a students mental health is addressed and answered for, their identity validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has always remained true; treat the students as individuals with their own goals and aspirations, they will respect you back and let what you say sink in.

I am here to grow my experience in educating, as well as helping students grown in the areas they lack in but I excel in. It takes a village to raise a child and I am more than elated to be apart of the Varsity Tutor platform.
