Experience

I have spent more than 10 years providing education to students. I typically teach Language Arts and Reading, and can work with students from kindergarteners to high school seniors. I offer a wide range of strategies, ensuring each student receives individualized attention. I have multi-modality and multi-sensory strategies that are effective for an assortment of learners.I completed my own education at the University of Florida. I most commonly tutor students in Language Arts subjects. I assist with Writing, Reading, Essay Editing, Phonics, Literature, Grammar and Mechanics, and basic English skills. I also work with students on their Public Speaking skills, helping them learn to communicate effectively and be confident when talking to others. I am certified to teach special needs students, and typically work with those who have language disabilities. This includes Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, and ADHD.I believe it is important for students to understand how to take tests effectively, as there are numerous exams schools require students to take. This includes the ACT and SAT, as well as the ASPIRE. I provide strategies and ideas that will help students excel at these exams and many others.My spare time is spent outdoors. I like to go hiking, canoeing, and kayaking. I also go camping whenever I can.
