ABOUT ME

I am a retired teacher that taught in Hillsborough County Schools for over 13 years. The schools I chose to work at were identified as Title I or low income poverty stricken schools. I provided tutorial services for Hillsborough County Public Schools- Academy for Success, Academic Excellence, and NESI when it served Hillsborough County.

I was selected as a Performance Pay teacher, Peer Teacher Mentor, and was considered a specialist in the field of Autism. I am fluent in Spanish as well as English and have experience teaching children that have learned English as a second language. I was trained by the Center for Autistic Related Disabilities at the University of South Florida and earned graduate school credits towards my Master’s Degree.

I continue to work with students privately as an independent contractor. I also tutor students across grade levels in Reading, Math, and Writing. I have been tutoring throughout my career as an educator and find it to be rewarding and relaxing.

My hubby and I are proud parents of six wonderful kids. I enjoy teaching and tutoring gives me the best of both worlds. This flexible schedule allows me the ability to follow my passion without neglecting the needs of my family. In regards to payments. I do not accept payments federally or government funded scholarship programs but I am willing to work with families on a 1:1 basis regarding rates.

I would like to put my years of experience to work for you and your family. My hope is to serve the families I tutor with excellence.

Elementary Math

Having taught over 13 years, I have found that a subject is easily mastered when presented in the right learning style. I teach math in various ways depending on a child's learning style. I also help children remember things by using memory strategies such as Touch Math. I have found breaking problems down step by step with an hands on approach enables many learners to excel in Math.

Elementary students require a comfortable environment conducive to learning. As an experienced teacher, I can help students develop good study habits by teaching them how to prepare for studying. Organization of notebooks, materials, homework, study space and study times are key to keeping things straight in one's mind.

History

Bible Studies

Bible Studies

In the State of Florida there are multiple choices for families that choose to home educate their children and often times the use of certain curriculum requires the use of the Bible as a text. As an evaluator for Hillsborough County I was able to help students that were transitioning from public education to various homeschool curriculums. It was during this time that I was introduced to biblical studies and I am able to help students study the Bible through these curriculums. If your child or student is using Christian homeschooling curriculum I can help.

Working in the public schools and also as a substitute teacher allowed me the opportunity to work with students from various backgrounds. My certification area was in behavioral disorders as well as special education for students that are on academic grade level however have challenges learning due to attention deficits, hyperactivity, and or other conditions. Some students need to be taught differently and movement can be incorporated in learning activities to help promote skill acquisition and increase the attention span for a given lesson. My goal is to help as many students as I can acquire knowledge, overcome difficulties, and mitigate certain challenges so that he or she is able to reach his or her full potential.
