I am a private English tutor and academic life coach specializing in reading comprehension, writing strategies, standardized tests, and organization and study skills. I have over twenty years of experience including teaching with Florida International University, University of Miami Study Skills and Test Preparation Program, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Institute for Reading Development, English as a Second Language abroad, public and private schools, and non-profit social service organizations including homeless shelters and hospitals. I have been a self-employed educational consultant for the last thirteen years and developed several unique programs including creative and academic writing, arts and healing, test taking strategies and executive functioning much of which I am in the current process of codifying in instruction manuals. My diversity of experiences teaching across three continents with diverse population of age and gender has made me extremely culturally sensitive . All of this enables me to connect deeply and quickly with students at their level without preconceived notions. Over the course of my teaching career I have logged in over 26, 000 contact hours reaching over 6,000 clients. Through all of these experiences I have come to understand the value of a holistic approach to education.Succeeding in school requires more than a review of the rules of grammar and an approach to standardized test taking, but also includes coaching, vision building, and stress management. More importantly it requires motivating, understanding, and caring for each student so he or she can develop his or her unique abilities with confidence.Over the years, I have studied and developed an approach to teaching skills in a way that engages my students at their level and a supplementary approach of academic life coaching designed to inspire students to reach their potential. With tutoring and coaching, I also offer the optional, supplementary practice of creative expression, meditation and mindfulness, and relaxation strategies. While some students do not require or wish for such interventions, those that do can experience a benefit that goes beyond the test or project will help create a pattern of success for a lifetime.I am not a therapist, yet as an educator I recognize the need to understand how internal forces affect external performance. I seek to teach students methods to overcome obstacles to their success in the broadest way possible given their unique needs and challenges.My practice developed steadily over the years by word of mouth with students especially of the 'orchid type': highly sensitive, creative, gifted, often with learning differences or challenges. An 'orchid type' student generally requires the right kind of support and guidance. These special kids needed special methods and so I have developed an approach that goes beyond "the tricks to the test" or " even the skills for the 21 first century."My approach uses the crisis of the course, the SAT, or the college application essay as a pivotal moment in a young adult's life to teach them coping mechanisms, skills, and confidence that will last a life time. Having the gift of working with the tender kids and the diversity of working with so many different kinds of students, enables me to connect quickly and deeply motivate any student.As a life-long lover of learning, I have an eclectic educational background. I hold an MA an have completed numerous courses in educational strategy, reading and ESL instruction, mainstream and positive psychology, coaching, hypnosis, and art therapy. I am currently enrolled in a Masters in Mental Health Counseling program. Because of this non-traditional education I have a uniquely creative and humanistic approach that is based on human potential development. My approach is individualized, positive, and energetic.I believe that all young adults can succeed and am dedicated wholly to helping students with programs that are tailored completely to their particular skills and needs . I have a true passion for my work that is often deeply transformative.

I am a retired educator from New York. I taught, counseled, and mentored children with behavior disorders and learning disabilities for 38 years. I love teaching math and science. My greatest challenge is getting a student who doesn't like math and science interested in trying. I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures. The beach is one of my favorite places to listen to music, relax, and read a good book. I love cooking, baking, and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I am passionate about teaching and building relationships with students.For the past two and a half years, I have taught in a number of different educational settings. During this time, I have instructed a wide and diverse variety of students from elementary students to adults. In the class room I work hard to integrate the knowledge and skills students will need to be successful in college and the global community. I have been successful in creating an engaging classroom that provided students with important life skills such as: a love of learning, personal responsibility, self-motivation, concern for others, and a commitment to serve society. I particular focused on practical skills of reading, creativity, critical thinking and communication skills. Additionally, to help my students to be successful I have often taken the time to work one on one with students. I have even crafted individualized curriculum to help students pass the HSK exam.As a continued growth and development educator, I am aware of the importance of developing oneself. I passed the Putonghua Proficiency Test Level 2- A during university, The Putonghua Proficiency Test or Putonghua Shuiping Ceshi (PSC) is an official test of spoken fluency in Standard Chinese intended for native Mandarin speakers. (The test was developed in 1994 by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, the Institute of Applied Linguistics at Beijing Language and Culture University and the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.) What's more, I studied Chinese calligraphy for two years, perfecting my simplified and traditional characters.I look forward to meeting with you to discuss in depth about my experiences.

Hi! My name is Lexi and I've been helping students learn Biology, Biochemistry, and Chemistry for 3 years now. During that time, I found and employed various methods for applying the material, including notecards, Quizlets, and mnemonics. I'm excited to guide you in these topics and more!

I am a graduate of the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and Psychology. I am currently working as a medical scribe upon matriculation into medical school. I worked as a tutor for Kumon Learning Center while in high school and continued to tutor during college.My favorite students to work with are elementary and middle school students, but I am able to help with high school students as well. I have the most experience in tutoring reading, math and science-related subjects.My teaching style embodies two main qualities, the development of productive habits and exposure to a wide variety of study methods. I believe in consistent encouragement and repetition in order to achieve one's desired academic success.In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball with my friends, going running and working out at least 4 times a week.

As a tutor, I strive to impart the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful learners at any level. I developed these skills during my doctoral studies, and I pass them along to my students. I do this by establishing strong relationships predicated on trust and safety. With almost a decade in the educational profession and higher educational space, I have a vast wealth of experiences to assist students (Test Preparation, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Philosophy).

My name is Raquel, nice to meet you! I have a lot of experience tutoring middle schoolers up through college students. I was an Elementary Education major before I switched to Audiology, so I also have experience working with younger students. Furthermore, I tutored high school and middle schoolers in the Pinellas County School system as part of the AVID program. Then I was a tutor for USF athletics and U of I athletics. Since I have started out as a tutor, I have about 8+ years of tutoring experience.

I've always considered myself a life-long learner across many subjects and mediums. The core essence of teaching another is communicating, regardless of the subject, the joy and excitement of learning something new.

I am a graduate of University of Phoenix with a Masters of Business Administration degree. Since graduation, I've had the opportunity to educate in various subjects with the bulk of my experience at the Elementary Level (all subjects). While I've taught several subjects, I am most passionate about Math. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.

Currently I have been working as a school teacher for 6 years in the public school setting. Teaching and educating children is one of my passions. I love inspiring students and bringing out their' highest potential through their interests and goals. I have taught grades K-5th, and love to tutor elementary level students. We learn new things every day and finding our strength in education can be pivotal for our life successes. I enjoy getting to know each student to ensure that my instruction is tailored to their' interests as well as needs. Outside of teaching and tutoring, animals are another passion of mine. I have had many pets, (rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats hamsters, and more) and I currently own one dog and one cat. I love to ride horses in my spare time and truly just enjoy being around any and all types of animals. I look forward to getting to work with students and ensuring they reach success in a safe, educational environment.
