Dedicated Tutor Specializing in Student Growth and Confidence

Richard D.

I am a passionate and dedicated educator with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Webber International University (2024) and an Associate of Arts from Florida A&M University (2021). I hold CPR and Coaching Certifications and am a proud recipient of the Brian Piccolo Award for athletic and character excellence. My diverse teaching background spans from early childhood to high school, allowing me to connect with students of all ages and adapt my methods to their unique learning needs.

Most recently, I served as a teacher at Fort Lauderdale High School, where I designed and delivered engaging lessons, maintained classroom structure, and worked closely with parents and colleagues to ensure student success. Prior to that, I worked as a daycare teacher at Children’s Village, where I fostered early developmental skills through play-based learning, positive behavior guidance, and structured routines. My time as a student assistant at Florida A&M University further strengthened my organizational and communication skills as I supported administrative staff and assisted students with academic and resource needs.

In addition to my academic and teaching work, I have hands-on leadership experience from my years as a collegiate football player and team leader, where I motivated teammates, acted as a liaison between players and coaches, and built a culture of accountability. I also have experience in event setup and planning, which sharpened my time management, teamwork, and attention-to-detail skills.

My teaching approach emphasizes structure, encouragement, and ethical guidance. I believe in meeting students where they are, inspiring them to challenge themselves, and equipping them with the tools to thrive both academically and personally. My ultimate goal is to make a lasting impact by helping students grow into confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals.
