I am an IXL-certified tutor with 18 years of experience, including two years as an AmeriCorps volunteer tutor in Alachua County before becoming a classroom teacher. I am certified in 28 subjects through WyzAnt and have taught students from Head Start through college.

I’ve worked extensively with students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences. My approach focuses on breaking material down clearly, reinforcing foundational skills, and helping each learner build lasting confidence. My sessions include structured practice, meaningful guidance, and consistent support tailored to each student’s needs.

My background includes 14 years of experience tutoring international college students in English and preparing them for the TOEFL. I also served as a FAST (formerly FCAT) and Common Core tutor for elementary students. My strongest subjects include Psychology, Computer Science, Creative Writing, English, and Math.

I tutor online or at a nearby library or clubhouse. I can also meet at a student’s home if the space is quiet and suitable for study; in-home sessions include a $20 travel fee. A minimum of two hours’ notice is required for cancellations.

I believe an excellent tutor not only understands the subject well but teaches it effectively, adapts to different learning styles, and encourages each student at every step. I love working with students of all ages and helping them reach their academic goals.

I have taught education and writing from head-start to junior high school. Handwriting is a necessary part of education, without this it would be very difficult for students and teachers to communicate and instructors would not be able to evaluate most of their students' assignments. I tutored students in writing by having them trace dotted outlines of letters and words they needed to learn. I began with upper and lower case alphabets, numbers, two, three and four letter words and their names. As students progressed I just had them write without using the dotted lines. I always encouraged them.

Deborah is a really nice person. She likes to assess the student learning techniques ,then she uses it to help you . Deborah is doing a great job with me. When I first started my penmanship lesson with Deborah, My penmanship was horrible . Thanks to Deborah, now I don’t have to be so embarrassed to write . We have been meeting for approximately 2 months now. I’m happy with her . I can recommend her to my friends and family.
