"I am a certified New York State and Florida Public School Teacher who is eager to empower students with the skills needed to succeed in school and beyond. I am dedicated to enthusiastic and dynamic teaching as a means of creating and nurturing a lifelong love of knowledge in students. I seek out the gift in every student and value the privilege to work with them.

I hold a Masters Degree in Liberal Studies - with a History and English emphasis, a Bachelors Degree in English, and an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts - with a Social Science and Biology emphasis.

My teaching experience includes being an adjunct English teacher of Developmental Writing and Reading at Daytona State College - 2009 to 2014 and rehired 2017 to present. In-between my time at DSC, I was a second grade teacher at a private hybrid-Montessori elementary school - 2015-2016. In addition, I have been a substitute teacher at Father Lopez High School. I also have multiple years of full-time experience teaching both English and Social Studies. Throughout the years, I substitute taught in numerous county school districts where I have had experience with students from grades K-12. In addition, I have been a private tutor since 1992. I tutor in all subjects at the elementary level. For middle school, high school and college level students, I have experience tutoring English: writing, reading, literary / poetry analysis, the writing of research and term papers, as well as tutoring in study skills development, the social sciences (psychology, sociology, philosophy), history, junior college level biology, and the Reading/Writing Language portion of the FSA, ACT, and SAT. I would be very happy to provide my detailed work record for review.

I can promise all prospective students my genuine interest, dedication, and hard work to assist you in achieving your goals.

Please note, I live in Port Orange and I tutor within a 15 mile radius of my home." less...
