Hello! Welcome to my profile.

My tutoring experience spans 15+ years. I have tutored online and in-person in the subjects of math, science, and social studies at levels 3-8th grade. I have also tutored, up to and through college level, in the subjects of English and French. I am fluent in French and enjoy helping students learn the schematics of the language, with advancement into literature and writing, while also perfecting their basic conversational skills and technique. I have served as a full-time instructor for 6-8th grade students within a hybrid school for independent learning in south Florida. In addition, I was a private tutor in a program geared towards traveling, equestrian athletes in south Florida, as well as a certified, approved tutor for high-profile and celebrity clients within the south Florida area.

I am also a writer and enjoy the freedom that comes with the field. I have written four, feature-length screenplays and completed an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from National University's Professional Screenwriting program; founded by Bettina Moss, former managing story editor for HBO. I have an extensive background in Film and obtained a B.A. in Film Studies, with a minor of Studio Arts, from the University of Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Filmmakers School of Film & Photography. My experience in media has led me to a career in social media/digital media marketing and event planning.

My experience with tutoring has been both rewarding and challenging; I never turn down the opportunity to help a student, no matter how long it takes! Learning is power and there's always room to grow.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

To teach is to guide. Whether this guidance is towards an understanding of a concept or an answer to a difficult question, there is a shared method of getting the student there and providing a "helping hand" for that is what matters the most!

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I like to find out what a student knows about the subject matter they are working on before we even begin to tackle their problem.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Helping a student learn how to get the answer instead of just giving the answer is the key to independent learning.

How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?

By letting them know that the answer is not as important as understanding how to get it.

How do you evaluate a student's needs?

By asking them what steps they would take to answer their problem, and from there I can usually assess their skill level.

What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?

Pen and paper, computer, and workbooks.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

By presenting them with the unexpected, like a new strategy or method of learning.

How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?

I like to use the skimming method. Going through a passage, paragraph by paragraph, and looking for sentences that might be important. Then, putting all of the sentences together.
