Hello. I am a recent graduate, holding two baccalaureate degrees. I received a Bachelors of Arts from the University of Florida in Classical Studies, and a Bachelors of Arts from Florida International University in English. Although my first degree is in the field of ancient Greek and Roman societies, I returned to school for my true passion which is English and all that is involved in it. Reading and writing has been a major part of my life since the second grade, where this fervor was first instilled in me.While a student at FIU, I worked at the center for Excellence in Writing as a Writing Consultant, helping students with their fear of writing and working with them to make them better writers rather than just get the grade they immediately need. As a writing tutor, I was reminded that everyone has the ability to become a good writer; however, many of them fear it because they believe they have nothing more to say on any given topic. Here I step in and encourage students, conversing with them about the process and show them that what they have to say is truly important. This leads to more confidence in their work and better writing in the long term. Besides my official tutoring experience, I have volunteered at multiple schools, mainly an Elementary School where my mother is a first grade teacher.Academically, I have been an active of Sigma Tau Delta, the English Honor Society at FIU, and Eta Sigma Phi, the Classics Honor Society at UF. Currently I am working on applying for my Masters in Fine Arts for Creative Writing, which will hopefully then lead me to a PhD to ultimately become a professor of Writing at the college level. Many schools are on my list of applications, and although it can be daunting, I know the experiences I have had as a tutor will help me to become a better writer.In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching good movies, and engrossing myself in good books. I love the written word. I know many times students hate reading and writing. I hope to have some influence to change that.

I attended Florida International University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and my Master of Arts in Linguistics. As a graduate teaching assistant, I tutored for all areas of linguistics and I taught Writing & Rhetoric as well. Since graduation, I taught English as a foreign language in Japan at five junior high schools over the course of few years. More recently, I have been taking the prerequisites, e.g. Chemistry, Physics, Statistics and Human Anatomy/Physiology, required to apply to Doctorate of Physical Therapy programs for the fall of 2016. I am well-acquainted with and adept in instruction for various subjects. However, my favorites subjects are math and writing/literature/languages, albeit the latter is not conventionally thought of as one subject. In essence, I love to solve puzzles; each aforementioned subject entails figuring out how the constituents interact with one another while abiding by specific rules and, sometimes, exceptions.Through divergent thinking and debate of dialogic points of view, students are pushed outside their comfort zone and are pushed to think for themselves. To teach is to learn and I encourage my students to teach themselves, teach each other and to teach me. My experience enables me to better understand different approaches to engage students and their diverse learning style via reprisal of ideas, verbal reflection and progression to meaningful conclusions. I believe clear communication of goals and expectations are integral to the tutor-student relationship. Working for a diverse group of students will allow me to become more proficient in imparting knowledge and skills for whichever subject comes our way.In my free time, I like to read pieces of writing by authors such Milan Kundera, Haruki Murakami, Wallace Stevens and Alan Moore, listen to music by artists such as Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, and Sakanaction, and be outside so I can run, swim and perpetually look like I am about to fall off a paddle board.

I have also struggled learning the material as much as my classmates. However, once I have a grasp on the concepts, I love helping them understand the material so we can all do well in the class. I knew that tutoring helped make a difference on students academic achievement and so that is the reason why I decided to become a math tutor. I know math can be a nerve wrecking subject but I will put maximum effort to help the students understand the subject. Many times private tutoring helps clarify most of the confusions about the material. I hope you will consider me as your tutor.

I have made my career by studying hard, going to school and overcoming my academic weaknesses. But I wasn't always this strong in academics and I have even needed my fair share of tutors in the past.I struggled with math for a very long time and I worked with many tutors to try and improve. It wasn't until one of my tutors pointed out that my hand writing was too small and my work was sloppily written. By just working on my hand writing and organization I improved significantly in math.I realized that my problem wasn't necessarily understanding the material. There was something else in the way causing me to perform poorly. I gained the ability to identify the barriers to my own learning and appropriately overcome the challenge, resulting in the academic success I enjoy today.When I tutor students, my ultimate goal is not only to help them improve their academics, but also teach them the organizational and study skills they need to identify their barriers and rise to their academic potential.

I received my undergraduate degree from Florida International University with a degree in Hospitality Management. I worked in the private sector for several years and became interested in education after my first child was born and we discovered he had a disability. As I researched disabilities and ways to help my child understand the curriculum, I discovered that I could help other children and I pursued a M.Ed, in Special Education. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with my M.Ed. in Special Education (General Curriculum) and was hired as an Autism teacher at the school where I completed my student teaching. I am now in my third year of teaching were I have worked with a variety of disabilities. My philosophy of teaching is simple. A classroom is not a "cookie cutter classroom", where one size fits all. As a special educator I must adapt the curriculum to each student, taking into account the diverse population of a 21st century classroom. I do this first by getting to know my students as individuals, taking into account their backgrounds, interests, goals, academic strengths, personal needs, and abilities where I can then focus on how they can best access the curriculum. I enjoy working with all subjects in the elementary curriculum however I am drawn to Math and Language Arts where I can employ research-based strategies that incorporate multiple means of representation that best fit the individual needs of the learner. Some of these strategies include a multi-sensory approach to students who struggle with reading and developing number sense for younger students in math. My personal interests outside of teaching are reading, hiking, and cooking.

I am deeply passionate about helping students because unleashing untapped potential is one of the greatest gifts one can bestow upon someone wanting to learn and better themselves. We are all capable of greatness, but each of us needs a different driving force or impetus to achieve that greatness, and I strive to be that catalyst. With grit, discipline, and consistency, realizing your potential is a doable goal. I've taught grade-school students in law school as well as tutored students in basketball youth camps, among other tutoring roles. I graduated with a Juris Doctorate from Florida International University and a Bachelor's in Political Science from Barry University. Education is the gateway through which anyone from anywhere can achieve their dreams--it is the true equalizer that imbues all of us with the opportunity to be greater. Catherine of Siena once said "Be who you are meant to be, and you will set the world on fire." Many of us may start as embers, but we can all become raging infernos under the right instruction. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, Science, History, and Math, with English and Writing foremost among them. I believe that if you can master the fundamental natures of English and Writing, then all other subjects become exponentially easier and manageable.

All it takes is one person, a voice, a presence, a quiet source of light to help something begin to grow. That light can come from a mentor, a professor, or even a friend. Through my own challenges, I've come to understand how vital that kind of support is, and how deeply it can shape a writer's path. I would not be the writer I am today without the encouragement of a high school mentor and tutor. That simple belief guided me forward, eventually leading me to my work at the writing center at Miami Dade College, where I now support students and develop workshops that help them discover the power and purpose in their writing. Writing, to me, is like watching something take root; it's messy, slow, and often uncertain. But with the right guidance, it grows. Just as I was once guided, I aspire to become a professor and writer who helps others find clarity, confidence, and strength in their writing.

I have had the honor of working for Florida International University (FIU) for the past 14 years. I have held administrative roles throughout those years that supported students' academic success in pursuing their undergraduate and graduate degrees. I am fondly proud of the years of experience and success I've gained while working in academia and STEM education, including academic advising, undergraduate and graduate medical education, and higher education program planning and development. My desire to open doors for underrepresented students who have high hopes of entering professional fields and may not have the advantages of doing it on their own is the driving force behind my ability to maintain success in many of the positions I have held in academia.I obtained my BA in Public Administration from Florida International University in 2011 and completed my Master's in Public Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Organizations and Community Development in August 2019. As a native of Miami, I have had the opportunity to work in higher education for over 14 years in administrative roles that support students' academic success in pursuing their graduate degrees. After completing my undergraduate degree, I began working as the Graduate Senior Secretary for the Biology department at FIU. I worked directly with the Program Director and Dean for the College of Arts & Sciences in various areas, including admissions, graduate school support, and student academic success.In 2014, I transitioned into the medical education discipline as the assistant to the Vice Dean for Medical Education and Student Affairs at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University. In this role, I coordinated the medical school's entire accreditation process, curriculum development, faculty affairs, and Graduate Medical Education. Soon after, I returned to FIU and began as Student Affairs Program Coordinator at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. In this position, I facilitated program planning and development for medical student wellness and academic support. After a year in that role, I became the Program Coordinator for the Office of Diversity & Inclusion at the medical school, developing and promoting programs and services designed to enhance the intersectionality of the medical schools' college community. Throughout my service in academia, many of my successes include the program development of the pipeline program, the Florida Scientific Training and Research (STAR) program; a multi-year academic and social enrichment program developed to prepare undergraduate minority students for a career in medicine, and the facilitation of a fundraising event that raised over $10,000 in scholarship for students historically underrepresented in medicine. In addition, I coordinated the National Pre-Faculty Career Development Conference for Trainees and Faculty, which brought together trainees, faculty, and senior leaders to share activities and best practices to better prepare college, graduate, and post-doctoral professionals to consider pursuing careers as educators and researchers in the STEM field.

For the past four years, I have tutored in subjects such as Biology, Chemistry and Algebra. I was also a Corps Member for City Year, an education focused, nonprofit organization. I served at a middle school, where I was a Mentor and Tutor for numerous students. I understood the impact and importance of education for an individual and also for a community. In teaching and learning, hard work is the key to success. Hard work makes everything attainable. I find that being active relieves stress and keeps the mind clear. This is why I like to run at least three times a week.
