F To A Tutoring
About
I am a tutor who can help people learn and get comfortable with English. I do test prep, and all levels of students from grade school, to high school and college.
I am certified in TESOL. I have experience and am currently working with both adults and children learning English as a second language. My students have been and are from Columbia, China, Japan, Brazil, Greece, Italy, and Haiti, etc.
I have a master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Massachusetts. My BA is in English from Smith College with a minor in Government.
My website is http://www.ftoatutoring.com - it has all my info, background, and great reviews, etc. Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions. My number is 954-673-0278.
I tutor students online through Zoom.
I am excellent in all aspects of English - language, and literature - from reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, writing. proofreading, and editing. I am also well-versed in political science and history - American, European and World. Lastly, I work with students on English test prep in the PSAT and SAT.
I focus on listening practice, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I have done a lot of research on online resources to keep it interesting and entertaining.
I always spend a great deal of time and effort exploring the best educational resources available online to help my students and keep the lessons interesting and entertaining. I always work on how to best use them as part of my lessons. I have subscribed to at least 16 different web sites at my own expense to continually research materials to help my students.
I tutored for two years with Varsity Tutors and DaDa ABC. I now work on my own and have for the past six years. I taught reading, comprehension, writing, history, and social studies. I also have experience in prepping students for the English evidence-based reading and writing part of the PSAT/SAT/ACT tests. Through Varsity, I was approved to tutor in 20 subject areas, from English and Political Science to History. I received high scores in these subject certifications.
I have worked with several college students (both undergraduate and graduate) on their writing and edited their essays. I use Grammarly (the paid version) to ensure the excellence of my writing and editing. I routinely get scores of 100. I can definitely help you improve. I try to teach the actual writing process through practice and review.
I design lesson plans tailored to their specific needs and likes – everyone is different. I strongly believe that teaching is done best one-on-one and facilitated by shared conversation - where the student and I work as a team. I have worked with students in all levels – elementary, middle and high school. I am comfortable with all ages. I love working with students, seeing them light up as their confidence grows, right answer after right answer!
