Before that, I taught for 13 years at one of the top college preparatory schools in Florida, after teaching multiple elementary and middle school grades in the classroom at 2 other private schools.

Experienced Learning Specialist and Tutor. Currently teaching 6th grade ELA/Reading in central Florida after 3 years of exclusively teaching online. Before that, I taught for 13 years at one of the top college preparatory schools in Florida, after teaching multiple elementary and middle school grades in the classroom at 2 other private schools. For several years early in my 20+ year teaching career, I worked at, and was eventually Director of Education of, a well-known national tutoring center. I love working one on one with students to help them improve their skills and confidence to achieve their potential. I have experience with students K-12 (Florida state certified) and a wide range of subjects, including AP history classes, math, English, Spanish, and executive functioning skills

I have taught math in the classroom up to Algebra 1 and Geometry. I understand how to explain math concepts to students in a way that helps them understand the concepts.

I prefer tutoring online because it maximizes the amount of time I have available for my students. Please contact me to see if I can help you with your subject! My focus at my school was a "whole student" approach to learning, meaning we don't just have to focus on ONE subject 100% of the time if you need help with something else! Executive Functioning skills are extremely important (organization, planning, task initiation, study strategies/skills)

Elementary (K-6th)

I recently stopped teaching at one of the top Pre-K through 12 college preparatory schools in Florida after 13 years. I have taught at every level (Elementary, Middle, and High School) since 1997, including 2 years at a nationally known tutoring center where I was also Director of Education. I am certified to teach K-12 in Florida, and my student roster at my former school included working one-on-one or in very small groups with K-12 students. I provided academic support in a wide variety of subjects up to Advanced Placement, as well as support in Executive Functioning skills (organization, planning, task initiation, sustained attention, study skills and strategies)

I have a Master's in Reading and am certified K-12 in Florida
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

My Master of Science in Reading has been very helpful in improving the English language skills of dozens of students. For many years, I designed the curriculum for and taught an ESL/ESOL class to an international group of students attending summer day camp at my former school. At times, I had speakers of 5 or 6 different languages in the room at the same time, so the direct/natural method (English only) of instruction was the most effective strategy. I have also worked one-on-one with native Spanish and Russian speaking children to improve their reading, writing, and over all English language skills to improve their success at school.

Amazing! Highly recommended!

Caridad is very knowledgeable and friendly. She put a lot of effort into helping me understand the material and concepts. She encouraged me to analyze well and think critically, and guided me so I could write clearly. She listened to what I needed and was engaging and patient.
