Learning Specialist: Rapid Results in Reading and Writing

Lyam C.

I specializes in reading comprehension and in writing to get noticed. I have extensive experience with study skills, literature, college essay writing, scholarship essays, cover letters, personal statements, résumés, and more. I also enjoy helping students with public-speaking skills, including the coaching of charisma and confident delivery.

To help students rapidly improve reading, I employ a wide range of proven techniques, including...
*The think-aloud and paired reading
*The Cloze procedure and miscue analysis
*Close Reading
*Mind-mapping
*Active imagination on three different levels

To help with writing, I focus on developing the audience-centered approach, the four rhetorical appeals, the incorporation of suspense, and sound argumentation free of fallacies. My favorite approach involves responding to a student’s work as their target audience, teaching my student to anticipate and control how their writing and speaking will be received.

Not only am I a Master Tutor (Level 3 certified with the College Reading & Learning Association) with over 20 years of experience as a Learning Specialist at Palm Beach State College, but I'm also a published author and profitable online content creator. I hold a BA degree in Liberal Studies from the University of Central Florida.
