Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

Retired teacher with 20 years' experience will provide personal tutoring in test prep for all types/levels of standardized tests in your home or preferred location. I will also provide homework assistance as well as instruction in study skills and critical thinking.

I have taught in the Broward and Palm Beach public school systems as well as in Junior College and proprietary schools. For the past five years, I have provided in-home tutoring services for various subjects, ages, all levels and varying abilities, including graduate and special needs tutoring.

Of particular interest to me is working with people who are English language learners or who do not have English as their first language. I enjoy helping people who struggle with English to succeed in academics as well as work situations and college-entry testing.

My experience includes one-on-one and small and large-group teaching situations. My schedule is flexible and tutoring can take place in your home or as arranged.

Elementary (K-6th)

For the past 6 years since I retired from public school, I have taught children of all ages. My certification is current and includes the sixth grade which is considered middle or secondary school. I enjoy working with young people of all ages and have helped them not only with subject matter but also with study skills and time management. I am familiar with all subject areas as well.

Study Skills

Good study skills and habits are important to academic success. My students have various goals--from improved grades to higher level test preparation. Having appropriate materials and an adequate time frame is not sufficient to successful study. I teach time and materials management and retention strategies as well as overall task concepts in order to give students control of the information they need to control.

ESL/ESOL

For the past 10 years I have been certified by the State of Florida and have taught English language and concepts to students whose first language is other than English. In teaching ESOL or ESL, my students have been both mainstreamed in regular classrooms and one-on-one with me in tutoring situations. My students are from various cultures and have different proficiencies, but all have learned English vocabulary and usage in order to reach their academic and professional goals.

Career Development

I have worked for the Transitions program at United Cerebral Palsy for the past 4 1/2 years. The program prepares young people with disabilities who are aged 16-22 for employment following graduation. I have also worked as a job coach with summer interns participating in this program training them in appropriate skills.

To help young people prepare for employment, I have taught them job search, application, interview, and resume-writing skills. I have also assessed students and directed... Read More

ADD/ADHD

I have taught students with varying disabilities, including AD/HD for many years. As a public school teacher, of course, many of my students were diagnosed with AD/HD, and did well in my English classes. For the last 6 years in my tutoring role, I have provided assistance to many students with this disability. I find that my students with AD/HD respond well to me and perform well. During my 5 years with UCP I was able to help many young people graduate and find careers in spite of AD/HD and any... Read More

Art History

I hold a BS degree in Art Education from the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo, Colorado and have studied photography and ceramics at FAU in Boca Raton and Davie, Florida. In addition, I am a practicing photographer and have had shows locally. Currently some of my work is on display at Yoga and Inner Peace in Lake Worth, Florida.

I am a world traveler and have visited celebrated museums in Europe and the US including the Louve, Prado, Reina Sofia, and many in Florence and Rome... Read More

Dyslexia

I have taught many students in an after school program run by United Cerebral Palsy of Broward County and funded by Children's Services Council for 5 years. Any of these students were diagnosed with dyslexia as well as other disabilities. My students with that diagnosis have achieved considerable reading success and made academic progress.
