Experience
Experiences I have experience teaching K-8, and prefer one-on-one teaching in a tutoring environment. I have found that there is a great need in Math and Reading. I help students in Algebra and Geometry along with other subjects. I especially enjoy helping students with test prep because they usually call me screaming that they passed their FCAT, PERT, and other exams with high grades. Hearing the excitement in their voices makes it all worth it. I am a very "easy going" tutor. I do not pride myself on giving students answers, but instead, prompt and encourage students to think for themselves and reason their work out. Once a student masters the idea of reasoning, I then incorporate memory retention skills so students can easily recall what they have learned. These skills can be taken from one class to the next and used throughout a students academic career including college level. I've developed these skills on my own. They are very easy to master and beneficial to my students.

Hobbies
My hobbies and interests include anything to do with art. I am an artist and work in all types of medium. I especially enjoy painting in oils and creating sculpture pieces. I worked in an Art Studio while living in NY and made sculptures for a huge Art store. I also painted figurines sold in stores at Disney World. When you look at the bottom of the figurine's that say "Hand Painted by Artist" that was me. : ) I enjoy all crafts, reading, and needlework such as sewing, knitting, Swedish weaving, and bead work. One very important aspect of my personality is that I love animals, especially dogs ( I have two little Chihuahua's named Taco and Gracie). I am a very patient and kind person and promise to make your tutoring experience enjoyable and fun. Believe it or not, learning can be fun if presented in the right way. Looking forward to working with you, God Bless
