About Me

I've attended the University of South Florida, South Florida Community College and Polk State College. I'll be done with my Bachelor's degree in Fine Art December 6th, and I earned my Associate's degree from Polk State College. I've been tutoring Kindergarten through 3rd grade students in reading for the Polk County public school system for the last three years through Americorps, a national service program. The subjects that I tutor are Art History, English, Phonics, Reading, and Social Studies. I can also helps students with homework support, study skills and organization. My favorite subject to tutor is Art, and I hope to become an elementary school art teacher after completing my certification. Art is my favorite subject to teach because I like the idea of encouraging all young people to have an aptitude in self-expression through creative means, even if they don't want to pursue art as a career. I love drawing, painting, reading, writing, cooking, and hiking. I also just love to help students reach their goals. Everyone learns differently. Through my experiences as a tutor, I've learned that there are several methods and tools that can really make a difference in an individual's learning success. There is always room for improvement, and a positive attitude with a steady application of practice will help any student succeed.
