Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Tampa, FL

...evaluate and analyze situations in their own lives. My tutoring style is to recognize the way the student learns (whether it be visually, kinetically, auditorily, etc.) and to deliver the information using that method in the most fun and encouraging way possible. I like to be creative and show the students that learning doesn't have to be boring. Outside of academia, I am a very musical person. I play guitar and sing, and I love...

...and to acquire the necessary pre-academic, academic, communication, social, and self-care skills needed for success and happiness. I came back to tutoring because I wanted additional work that would be meaningful and exciting to me. My passion is working with children and adolescents and helping to motivate them to learn. I work one-on-one with my clients and find our greatest success comes when I work to engage them, find what motivates them and will increase...

...and making art in my free time. I am personable and love to teach, learn, and research literature mainly from the Gothic and Victorian eras. “And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery…and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.” (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Mark Haddon)... All children learn differently. Some are able to listen and comprehend, while some must have hands on interaction with the subject. I am of the latter and sympathize with children of this nature because most school systems lack in development of kinetic learning styles.

...through my dancing and writing. I enjoy reading, going to the park, watching movies, spending time with family and friends, and being a leader in the youth group at my church. From time to time, I also play soccer and tennis. One of my passions is to help people reach a higher level of personal success by encouraging them to work out of their natural talents and strengths. I grew up in South Florida and...

...my Bachelor of Science in Education with a minor in Reading and English and my Masters of Science in Educational Technology. I have worked in the public school environment since 1996; teaching fourth and fifth grade before migrating into the school library setting. I have 10 years experience in the school library with 8 years being in a 6-8 grade library. I have informally tutored students during the school day in core subjects and informally...

I have been working with students aged four to fifteen at a summer camp for the past five years. The past two years I have served as a teacher for the four and five year old group and was responsible for helping them learn basic reading, writing, and mathematic skills. In the time prior to that, I helped work with older students on improving their reading comprehension and their math skills.

...be inspired by various topics and I love to transfer that inspiration by helping students succeed! I have a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelors of Arts from the University of Maryland University College in Psychology. I was in the U.S. Navy for ten years where I travelled a lot, and I continue to enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures!

...the adult educational realm, working two days a week for a tutoring center at my local technical college. At this school, I teach students one-on-one, helping them learn the basics that they missed when they were younger. We cover topics in math, reading, and language, helping them re-learn what they have forgotten, and getting them ready to re-take the TABE test. As an English educator, I have also proctored students for the FCAT, and am...

...intertwined with new learning, success is eminent. When success has not occurred, what is left is not called failure, but a learned way of not to do something. As Edison famously stated, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time in my garden, reading some of the books I own but have yet to read, and taking walks with my dogs.... Patience is the most important concept of reading comprehension. I like to start by using a list of phonemes to better identify where a student is having an issue. In the English language there are often more than one combination of letters to achieve a phoneme, so once these can be treated as sight words, reading comprehension is strengthened once students are no longer struggling with fluency.
