"As a dedicated education professional, I am committed to diligently working with each and every student to reach his or her full potential for success! I recognize and respect that every child is created with special talents and abilities ~ my goal is to motivate and inspire my students in a supportive and caring environment ~ and to partner with parents by offering resources, encouragement and assistance. I truly love working with youth and share that enthusiasm in every session.

Educating, encouraging, and equipping children and young adults to achieve academic success ~ and collaborating with parents, teachers and other academic personnel is my mission in life. I understand that it is necessary to differentiate my instruction based on the individual needs of my students. Toward that end, I invest my time in a variety of professional development opportunities to ensure that I am maintaining the highest level of service available for my students.

My teaching certification is issued from the state of Florida in Elementary Education Grades K through 5, Middle Grades 5 through 9 Integrated Curriculum, as well as English Speakers of Other Languages. I tutor all subjects through 6th grade and Reading and Language Arts, History and Test Prep through 12th grade. I have been teaching for 19 years in public school education (now retired) and as a private tutor.

My schedule is flexible and easily adaptable to most scheduling requests. You'll find that I am very upbeat and optimistic and can find the good in every situation! I maintain a professional appearance and come to every tutoring appointment prepared with the appropriate resources including the latest technological devices for students who prefer working with computers, etc." less...
