Private tutor in Fort Myers, FL

Education

University of Florida, Master of Education/Educational Technology, 3.99 GPA, 2013 My coursework included media literacy studies and educational research. Florida Southern College, Bachelor of Arts/Psychology (Humanities Minor), 3.97 GPA, 2002 My psychology studies were the most useful to me as a teacher. From the day I first entered a classroom, I have taken the approach of a scientist, looking at each student to determine which skills they need to develop. I then try out different strategies and methods until I find the one that works.

Experience

I can show you how to boost your test scores on the ACT, SAT and AP English Language exams by using your unique strengths and weaknesses to your advantage. I have trained with College Board and Pearson, so I understand the construction of the tests. I will show you how to figure out the questions and find the correct answers. Let me show you how to transform your writing and develop the necessary skills to communicate effectively. I have 15 years of experience working in public schools at the middle and high school level working with all levels from remedial to honors and English Language Learners. I am a second (third) language learner, and I use my experience when working with English language students. I understand what it takes to learn a new language and develop proficiency. I enjoy working with students in a one-on-one or small group setting where we have a chance to focus the instruction specifically on what the student needs.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I also have a working knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese (it's rusty, but we can talk). I also write professionally (technical articles, website content, poetry, essays) for local and Fortune 500 companies. I trained as a violinist and pianist. I run (usually poorly) half-marathons. I love my rescue dogs, and I'm usually covered in dog hair.
