Hello, my name is Linda A.

I hold a Professional Educator's Certificate Mathematics K-12, Social Studies 6-12 and Special Education K-12. In addition, I have been prepping teachers and future teachers to pass their Certification Exams, such as FCAT and PRAXIS. I have been teaching for well over 20 years and I still love making class time fun and memorable!

I specialize in providing individualized instruction to each student. I have taught students ranging from 5-83 years old and each student brings its own needs and desires. Some students need to "see" the lesson, some need to "hear" it, some need to "feel" it and some learn best from a combination styles.

In order to benefit the students as much as possible, I welcome any resources or suggestions students or parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will always provide quick responses. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule complimentary 15 minute online lesson.

I look forward to seeing you or your child in the classroom!

Excellent Tutor

Linda completely changed the course of my granddaughter’s life. She could not read and was held back in first grade. It didn't take any time working with Linda until she could read. Her confidence has soared, and her conversational skills are light years from where they were. Our granddaughter loves Linda and looks forward to their sessions. We highly recommend her services.

Great tutor

We have worked with Linda for a few months now. Our subject of interest is math. There’s good chemistry between her and my kid and she has a way of keeping him motivated and entertained throughout the entire session. She has also been flexible to adjust her materials so as to help strengthen the math concepts he is learning at school. We are very happy to have Linda help us.

Helpful

I’m so grateful for her help. She’s patient and knowledgeable about the content. She’s given me so much confidence with my test taking and I hope to pass this exam.

Amber, 5 lessons with Linda

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ms. Linda is currently and has been working with my daughter for about two months. She is very patient and my daughter says she likes working with Ms. Linda. Also, my daughter's teacher noticed the improvement when my daughter completed the end of the school year testing.

Tameka, 20 lessons with Linda

A very good tutor she is very patient

She is very knowledgeable in math and taught me how to add and subtract positive and negative numbers. I really enjoy her style of tutoring and am looking forward to future sessions.

Nene, 6 lessons with Linda

Dedicated, competent math tutor and educator

I hired Linda to tutor my niece in math, specifically for algebra and geometry. I chose Linda because of her extensive math teaching experience as well as her special education certification… it was exactly what my niece needed. My niece has ADHD and has historically had significant difficulty in understanding math. My niece had not passed her state’s competency exam in Algebra which is required for high school graduation. My niece’s math performance on standardized testing was several grade levels below her peers. It was evident she needed significant skilled intervention to stop her deteriorating math performance. Linda was such a blessing for my niece! They met several times a week consistently over 3 months . Linda assessed the areas of deficiency and focused her tutoring efforts in helping my niece address these skill deficits . Linda also helped my niece stay current in her geometry course. My niece successfully retook her state Algebra competency exam and is currently passing in her Geometry class. I have no doubt these two positive outcomes would NOT HAVE OCCURRED without Linda’s help. Linda is a compassionate, flexible, competent and patient educator. I would not hesitate to recommend her tutoring services especially for a student with special needs. Her ability to adapt her approach to meet the learning needs of a particular student as well as creating a partnership to promote success , is a rare quality to find these days. I am eternally grateful to Linda for the work she has done with my niece. My niece has learned that she can decipher math with the right tools , effort and supports and that she can be successful…. which is a priceless lesson.

Knowledge and patience with students

Linda is teaching my son reading comprehension. We really like it because it seems like all lessons are strategically aligned for each student and not a "one fit program for all students." In the short time that my son has begun his tutoring I can see all the ways that this tutoring is helping him. We recommend Linda to anyone that really wants to see a change in their child's student success.

Linda was so great with my son. She walked through math problems in such a creative way. My son even said that his time with Ms. Linda went by so fast! Highly recommend Linda if you're looking for a tutor that makes math fun.

Knowledgable and flexible tutor.

She was very patient with me and was flexible with my schedule. She had a lot of helpful study tips that I have been using to study. She gave me lots of practice too and was always willing to answer my questions.
