The Most Awesome and Knowledgeable Tutor in English and Writing

I have been a teacher and a tutor for over twenty five years. I am a very highly imaginative instructor with a passion to see my students excel to their highest potential. My areas of training are: K-12, college, vocational, and students with Varying Exceptionalities. Students enjoy the thought of giving input in their daily activities. My classes encourage better participation and longer attention span for most of my students. Having a PhD in Psychology and a Chaplaincy Licenses, helps me to better assists the students and to build a better relationship with them. “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” and so is talent unused.

Ani DeFranco, the songwriter, once screamed in one of her songs, “You are like one of those zombies in Vegas pouring quarters into a slot machine.” Although Ani is an irate musician, there is some truth within her lyrics. The lyric of this song... Read More

Grammar

It seems that good grammar is a thing of the past. The attitude of many individuals seems to be “Why do I need good grammar? I just want to be able to express myself.” Freedom of expression is important, but not at the expense of solid grammar. Now, let us take a look at why good grammar is important.

Ask any employer what characteristics they seek in job applicants and they will most likely say, “attention to details.” Using poor grammar shows a lack of attention to details, and those... Read More

Writing

As a child, I realized that I have always loved to write. I remembered how I rushed to my writing class in third grade and how I loved writing stories. I savored how words flowed naturally from my pencil to disentangle a tale no one has ever heard before. At first, I wrote only stories. Some were short stories; however, many were the first pages of novels I dreamed would once be sold on store shelves around the world. This is the first step in being able to write successfully.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have a letter of eligibility to teach K-6 in the states of Florida and Virginia. I also have my graduate Degree in Elementary Education.

Study Skills

Study Skills are distinctive techniques that can be learned, usually in a short time, and applied to all or most fields of study. They must therefore be eminent from strategies that are specific to a particular field of study e.g. Math or Writing, and from abilities natural in the student, such as aspects of intellect or learning technique.I have completed several courses in the undergraduate and graduate study skills at the college and universities I attended and also as a teacher, I have taught...

Special Needs

Inclusive education was introduced to me almost seventeen years ago. After graduating from university as an elementary teacher, I began working for an elementary school here in Miami that embraces the inclusion of special needs children in the regular classroom. Their needs have ranged from moderate to severe. I have taught students with varying exceptionalities such as: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Asperger’s Syndrome, hearing impairments, developmental delays, Cerebral Palsy,...

Bible Studies

The Bible is a sacred and complex book, full of history, poetry, proverbs, revelations of God and words of life and death. As an ordained and licensed pastor, I study the Bible myself and I found out that it is not intimidating as some people think. With the proper tools and the keen observational skills I posses, I know how to analyze and interpret the Bible and grasp its profound truths. Therefore, I am able to tutor students and others how to understand it as a consecrated book and not as a... Read More

ADD/ADHD

I have worked with students from K-College who have ADD/ADHD and also with my own family children who are diagnosed with this disability. Also, I have received over 20 credits from my graduate courses in teaching students with disabilities including ADD/ADHD.

Autism

While I was a student, and as a past teacher, I have done much research on Autism. I found out that it is a lifelong complex disability that affects the way a person communicates and interacts to others around them. It usually appears during the first three years of life. Students with Autism, usually show difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication, interacting verbally, and with social imagination. Different characteristics influence different children and vary from mild to severe. For... Read More

Dyslexia

I have worked with students with dyslexia at Carl B. Hutcherson Early Learning Center in Lynchburg, VA from 2000-2002, and I have tutored students with dyslexia at Miami Dade College from 1989-1993. As an effective teacher, I recognized the characteristics, difficulties, and strengths of the students with dyslexia. Challenged, yet equipped with knowledge and compassion, I utilized a variety of teaching strategies to provide opportunities for the students with dyslexia to succeed.
