Approved Subjects

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have Florida Certification for elementary education; taught 4th grade for 3 years; taught remedial reading for 4th and 5th graders.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I believe in the teaching and memorization of math facts. There is no reason a child can't memorize facts especially since they can memorize phone numbers of friends. I teach math concepts and application by using a variety of learning tools. I want children to stop fearing math and learn how our lives revolve around math concepts.
Phonics

Phonics

I have 30 years in education and my Master's Degree in Counseling. I have taught remedial reading, with an emphasis on vocabulary and phonics. I have worked with students K-5 with phonics, word analysis skills, syllabication and context clues. I believe I am qualified to teach phonics to elementary age children.
Reading

Reading

I taught remedial reading to elementary school students. I use a variety of materials and focus on a child's learning style in order to promote positive learning. I incorporate phonics, word analysis skills, and vocabulary to create a comprehensive program.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have taught Study Skills to elementary - high school students using the Sylvan learning materials. I focus on time management, organization, test taking strategies, note-taking and outlining strategies. I enhance my tutoring by evaluating the learning style of the student to best incorporate strategies that blend with the specific learning style of the student. I also evaluate where a student does homework and studies and re-design the environment to get optimum efficiency.
