I am an experienced, mature teacher and tutor with with over 20 years of experience. I have a masters degree in TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - from Florida International University. I teach at Miami-Dade College and for Miami-Dade County Public Schools. I am thoroughly familiar with standardized tests. I have taught SAT preparation class at Barry University and Nova Southeastern University. I have taught adults and adolescents in ESL (conversation, reading, writing, grammar), TOEFL, Mathematics (arithmetic, algebra 1, Basic Geometry) English (reading, writing and grammar), FCAT, GED, PSAT/SAT, GRE, ACT, CPT, SSAT/ISEE preparation. I have traveled extensively and am comfortable with students from all backgrounds and cultures.Bilingual(English/Spanish).
I practice a relaxed but focused style of learning and believe in obtaining and reacting to constant feedback from students as to what the student understands and needs to know to be proficient in each subject. I believe in the maxim that in order to master something a student should watch or listen first, practice to be able to perform, and then be able to explain the material to someone else. Learning by active involvement is key. I often like to use music to aid in learning process, especially in ESL.
