I look forward to helping you become successful with your academic goals. I have 18 years of experience as a teacher in the classroom.Teaching experience:K-6 certified in the state of Florida, 9th-12th grade ELA, AVID, and Test Prep. I was an adjunct professor at our local university for 3 years. I have 7 years of experience assisting my Juniors/Seniors in preparing for their post-secondary careers and college goals. Working with students online is something I have done for 4 years and try to make it as engaging as possibleEducation:I have a degree in Psychology, and a master's Degree in Education, Curriculum/Instruction from the University of North Florida.

I am a graduate of the University of South Florida with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education. I have been a classroom teacher since 2010, however I discovered many years ago that I have a passion for tutoring students, working one on one to determine their obstacles for learning and then help them discover what strategies work best for them to overcome their challenges and build their self confidence. Although I have tutored students in grades K-7, and a few adults to take the TABE assessment, I especially like working with the younger age levels to help them achieve a strong foundation of skills to build upon. I have also worked extensively with children on the Autism spectrum.I feel it is essential to build a healthy relationship with my students so they feel safe and secure in their learning environment. Also, the better I know my student the more able I am to provide them with unique and meaningful learning experiences to spur their natural curiosity and keep them motivated. It is also important to teach them that making mistakes is part of the learning process and how to grow from the experience.My overall goal as a tutor is to foster students with a passion for learning and an excitement for discovery as well as help them build a healthy self image and resiliency to overcome challenges and succeed.

As a tutor, my goal is to enable kids to become stellar students by demystifying the writing process. From mastering basic study skills to writing a killer college application essay, I want students to feel confident with their ability to communicate ideas effectively. My experience as a tutor, mentor and editor has provided me with the opportunity to help a variety of students, from kindergarteners just learning to read, to high school seniors writing the essays that will gain them access to top-tier universities. In my years as a teacher's assistant for college freshmen, a workshop teacher at 826 Chicago and a literacy tutor with at-risk kids in a low-income elementary school in Ohio, I have turned students who professed to hate Reading and Writing into confident and creative writers. I have also helped students excel in History, Mathematics and particularly enjoy helping students exceed their own scoring expectations on the SAT.As a graduate of the Oberlin College Creative Writing Program, I believe that every writing assignment, from historical essays to Japanese poetry to science term papers, has the possibility to enthrall and fascinate. I believe that all writing is creative writing, and that in every assignment can be approached with equal measures of enthusiasm and diligence. I am an excellent teacher of the building blocks of language, including Phonics and Grammar. As Joan Didion once said, "Grammar is a piano I play by ear." I have helped dozens of students view grammar not as a stifling set of rules but instead, a toolbox for self-expression.I look forward to working with you soon!

I am a graduate of Fontbonne University. I have a degree in Special Education with certifications in Special Education and Elementary Education. I am in my 6th year of teaching and have taught Special Education the whole time. I am passionate about helping students who struggle with school because I believe that every child has the potential to be successful in life. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I am so glad that I am living my dream. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy playing volleyball, reading, snuggling my dog, and hanging out with family and friends.

I graduated from Brigham Young University in 2009 with a BA in Visual Arts and a BS in Physiology and Developmental Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I tutored a variety of subjects and students during undergrad, most noticeably other undergrads in their advanced writing courses as a University Writing Fellow. I also tutored middle and high school students in their math, science, and English coursework, as well as providing ACT prep for them. Following my undergrad, I was accepted to Teach For America and trained and taught as an early elementary education teacher in all content areas for four years (while also teaching elementary visual arts in the fourth year). During this time, I was the primary first grade Math curriculum planner for my school, as well as a lead planner for first through second grade guided reading. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects and students, my absolute favorite subject to teach is English, including both Reading and Writing, mostly because I find this subject to just be so enjoyable. I believe in a more Socratic and investigative approach to teaching as I think that the deepest learning comes from answering guided questions and coming to one's own conclusions, then matching those conclusions to available standards and literature. I also believe in providing modes of concrete, pictorial, and abstract learning for every standard to truly solidify understanding for all learning styles. In my free time, I love visiting art galleries and I am currently working in a contemporary gallery as well! I also enjoy making art works and sitting back with a delicious new book.

I have been tutoring students of all ages since my junior year of high school, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to continue to do so. I feel comfortable tutoring an array of subjects, particularly the various levels of psychology, English, German, and writing, but algebra and statistics have wormed their way into my heart over the years!My particular style of tutoring is unique, most likely to due to my sense of humor. Even someone's least favorite subject does not have to be a bore, and I quite enjoy taking some of the pressure off by being lighthearted and enthusiastic. As long as the student feels comfortable with the progress he or she is making, that's all that matters. I will never define what is successful for my students, I always adhere to how they define their own success. As far as I'm concerned, we're a team, and I'm happy to do what it takes to help them meet their goals.As a graduate of Sewickley Academy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, I currently possess a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I am currently attending Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore in pursuit of a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, where I am conducting original research in the areas of parental psychological control and somatic symptoms in young adults. Needless to say, this means there is quite a lot of psychology in my life, so while I am happy to assist others with their psychology classes, tutoring gives me a chance to take a break from it all and indulge myself in the other subjects I love!Outside of what must sound like an incredibly academic life, I do find time to entertain myself. I love going to museums and am definitely interested in some recommendations for the must-see museums in Baltimore. I'm a huge theatre lover, and I sometimes dabble in acting when I have time. I absolutely love doing voices and accents when I tell stories. If laser-pointering with my cat were an Olympic sport, I would certainly qualify. I'm an admirer of film and television as art forms, which is a fancy way of saying I like great movies and TV shows. Eating something delicious while reading a good book is my preferred method of relaxation, although it makes me wish I had more than two hands and two eyes. That's me in a nutshell!

"There may be people that have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do."--Derek JeterI truly believe there is no reason a person cannot succeed because the only obstacle that stands in your way is yourself.Everyone is out here worrying about whether the glass if half empty or half full when the only thing that truly matters is whether it's refillable! Fill it as needed to get you to where you need to be!

As a student myself who has used tutoring resources many times, I know the need for good teachers to help students succeed, and I am passionate about giving back these lessons the same way I was able to receive them! I have taught students of many different ages from as little as 6 years old to as old as 16/17. I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume. I approach every student as a blank slate where I do not know about their prior knowledge, and as such, I make it a point to explain everything I teach thoroughly to ensure they have a strong foundation. With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me.

I have been a middle school Language Arts and Reading teacher in Miami-Dade County for the past 5 years. Additionally, I tutored for 3 years for a professional tutoring company in Coral Gables. I am very familiar with phonics and reading comprehension tutoring techniques. I am comfortable tutoring students of any age and have tutored all ages in the past.I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Visual and Media Arts from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. I originally grew up in Margate City, NJ. I have also lived in Los Angeles, CA for several years and have been living in Miami for the past 9 years.
