Hello. My name is Ady. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, English, and Public Safety Administration from Florida Atlantic University. I am currently working on degrees in other areas and hope to pursue my masters someday. I am passionate about helping students, because I enjoy seeing them learning and gaining something from my lessons. I have taught students from Kindergarten through second grade for around five years in a classroom environment. I have also taught conversational English to adults and English to younger elementary age students online.I currently tutor the subjects of: reading and phonics. I also work with Elementary students from Kindergarten through second grade and English Language Learners. My favorite subjects to tutor are conversational English and reading, because it's wonderful to see the improvement that students make while they're working on these subjects. My teaching philosophy is that education should be more interactive and my tutoring style includes having a more relaxed conversational format.

I am a recent certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) and graduated with my Masters of Medical Science at Lincoln Memorial University - Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine on August of 2019. I earned two degrees at Florida Atlantic University (B.S. in Biology & B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavior). Before attending PA school, I worked as a medical assistant for children and adult orthopedic practices.My method for tutoring students to effectively pass the PANCE comes from personal experience. Along with my peers, I was introduced to a successful method that covers every content within the PANCE blueprint. There are numerous mnemonics and strategies that I have learned along the way that will help tremendously. There are multiple studying materials that I can direct my student to use in order to practice their test taking skills. I want to pay it forward, and help those who want to become a PA-C!
I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. While my degree is in business, my career has centered on coding, mathematics, and mentoring others to learn and grow. I'm especially passionate about tutoring coding in Python, coding in the Unity Engine, math, American history, and game development. Professionally, I apply math and logic to develop complex calculations for tax software, giving me hands-on experience with real-world problem solving. I believe education is essential because it lays the foundation for lifelong achievement. My tutoring style emphasizes patience, encouragement, and consistent feedback, allowing students to progress at their own pace. I incorporate real-life scenarios to help students connect academic concepts to practical, everyday use.
While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English literature, writing and composition, psychology, and conversational Spanish. I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, FL. There, I received a Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus on English literature and a Master of Arts in English with a focus on writing, rhetoric, and composition. While at FAU, I worked at the writing center, helping students, faculty, alumni, and visiting scholars improve their writing and language skills. Simultaneously, I taught college writing courses for FAU's College of Arts and Letter's Department of English while completing several writing internships, attending national conferences, and taking advantage of study abroad opportunities. I had the opportunity to work extensively with ESL students. Given that FAU is one of the most diverse institutions in the nation and that I am a native Spanish speaker who immigrated to the United States as a young child, these experiences helped me feel even more connected to my language and culture. I've always believed that theory and practice are equally vital to a strong intellectual foundation. So, while I worked toward earning both degrees, I coupled my practical teaching and tutoring experience with additional courses from the Department of Languages, Linguistics, and Comparative Literature. I've worked with many students struggling with standardized tests, academic essays, graduate school applications, and learning either English or Spanish as a second language. We always seem to have the most fun (and make the most progress) when we focus on the writing and critical reading portions of the exams or assignments, employing real-life scenarios in the process.
I have my Bachelor's in Accounting from Michigan State University, and my Master's in Accounting from Florida Atlantic University. I enjoy working with college students and want to share my Accounting and Business knowledge with future generations. I have been tutoring College students in Accounting for almost 2 years privately.
My approach to tutoring is rooted in empathy, patience, and adaptability. I understand that every learner is unique, with their own strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. Whether it's breaking down complex concepts into digestible chunks, providing real-world examples, or offering personalized feedback, I tailor my teaching methodology to cater to the specific needs and goals of each student. Moreover, I am committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, voice concerns, and engage in meaningful discussions. By creating a collaborative space that encourages curiosity and critical thinking, I aim to cultivate not just proficient real estate professionals but also ethical leaders who prioritize integrity, professionalism, and community impact. Beyond the classroom, I am deeply invested in ongoing professional development and staying abreast of the latest industry trends and regulations. By continuously expanding my own knowledge base, I ensure that my students receive the most relevant and up-to-date information, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-evolving real estate landscape. In essence, my journey as a real estate tutor is guided by a simple yet powerful belief: that by empowering individuals with the right knowledge, skills, and mindset, we can collectively shape a brighter future for the real estate industry and beyond. I am excited to embark on this journey with my students, empowering them to reach new heights of success and fulfillment in their real estate endeavors.

I have a passion for helping other students excel in their work. My expertise in the area of finance, accounting, and taxation. However, I enjoy tutoring subjects that are number-related (math, finance, accounting, algebra) or technology-related (Excel, Word, PPT).

I enjoy working with students and guiding them to the right strategy, method, and solution. I use a student-centered approach. I believe "success is a journey, not a destination." In other words, we are all life-long students, and we should never be content with stopping the learning process. The goal should be to continue advancing our knowledge and expertise in different areas. Not only will it make us more balanced, but it will allow us to adapt and grow as new discoveries and advances are made. My hobbies are running, hiking, swimming, and watching the San Antonio Spurs play! I look forward to helping you on your educational journey and can't wait to see you excel and advance your learning potential.

Parents appreciate my professional yet approachable style, my ability to connect with students, and my commitment to measurable results.

I passionately believe that all three are necessary for educational success, and I gain immense satisfaction helping students achieve competency in these three important areas of education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing (I have two books in the global marketplace) and playing my guitar as a professional musician.

I am a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. Following graduation from the Academy, I spent two years living in a remote village in Zambia where I worked with the Peace Corps to educate villagers about the prevention of malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis, as well as other illness endemic to the region. When I got back from Zambia, I took the MCAT and soon began medical school. I am currently in my final year as a medical student and hope to begin a surgery residency next year. I love to teach, and have years of experience tutoring a wide array of subjects including algebra I and II, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics, PSAT, SAT math, reading, and writing, ACT math, reading, and science, religion, literature, and many more. I have worked extensively with students taking FLVS classes, guiding them through their assignments and preparing them for their tests. I have also worked with students traveling the equestrian circuit in Wellington. I know that people are capable of much more than they think they are when they have someone that believes in them and is able to act as a teacher and coach. I love to see people reach for their potential and gain confidence along the way. Outside of tutoring, I love to study for medical school, play with my dogs, run and do yoga. Get in touch if you think I might be a good fit for you!
I graduated from Barbara Goleman Senior High in the top 5% of my class. I went on to Florida State University, where I graduated with a degree in Political Science and minored in History/Journalism. I am currently in Graduate School at Florida Atlantic University where I am pursuing a degree in Counseling.I am an author and educator who has work with students through tutoring, mentoring and teaching for 20 years.I started tutoring when I was 13-years-old and found that I had a love for helping people to understand concepts that were previously difficult for them. I also found that building relationships and tailoring tutoring to the interests of my students helps them to learn the material better and helps them take ownership of their education.When not tutoring, I am a writer, most recently publishing my first book 'Diary of a Young Black Girl,' a book of poetry.
Education has always been an important part of my life. My father always said one thing that nobody can take away from you is your education. That is why I became an educator. I am currently a senior at Florida Atlantic University. I volunteered at various elementary schools, where I tutored students after school. I also tutored students virtually. All the experience and skills I have accumulated over the years have enabled me to become a superb tutor.
I bring experience as an English tutor and university career advisor, supporting students through individualized instruction, practical feedback, and encouragement.

I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University (FAU). I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a focus on writing and education. As an undergraduate, I took advanced graduate courses, looking to expand and to deepen my knowledge and skills in writing and pedagogy.When the French avionics company I worked for for about 10 years closed their Miami facility, in 2001, I decided to go back to school, and finish my degree. I was in my English class (Honors Short Story) on September 11, waiting for the class to start, when the television came on to news reports of an attack and we watched in horror coverage of the first tower engulfed in flames, and the second tower collapse.I remember being anxious about writing my first college essay in some ten years. It was a paper on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher." Our instructions were to write a five-paragraph essay, with a minimum 10-sentence paragraphs. I was confused by this instruction, because we didn't learn the 5-paragraph essay in Montreal. I considered submitting a writing sample to see if I was up to the task. Eventually, I decided to take my chances and write the essay the best way I knew how.I could hardly breathe waiting for the professor to grade and return our papers. Finally, she called us one by one up to her desk, and she handed us our papers. I do not know what she said to the other students, but as she held out my paper, she motion to the desk and said, "You should be on this side of the desk," meaning the teacher side. That's all I needed to hear. I made sure to take every course that would make me the best teacher I could be.I studied year-round, and in December 2003, I graduated summa cum laude. I went on to take graduate courses in teaching reading, language arts, young adult fiction, pedagogy, and writing. I started teaching high school Language Arts and Reading in 2004-2005.While I tutor a range of subjects, I love writing. I have had an essay and a memoir published. I am compiling essays for a book series and I post short reflections on my website. I enjoy watching crime/police dramas, mysteries/detective shows, and the occasional vampire series. I also like photography, sewing, and quilting.Because I was not born in the United States, I missed out on the treasure trove of American children's books, and so I took every opportunity to read them as a student and as a teacher. I relish reading children's books and young adult fiction because I feel they help me to connect to high school students. I use children's books to teach complex topics, because the readability level does not get in the way of seeing the pattern of writing and the stylistic, organizational tropes the author uses.I believe in meeting people where they are. I use my own experience and self-reflection to better understand the needs of my students; to adapt to their learning style and preferences; to have empathy for their cultural perspective; to appreciate the full range of their personal experience. I look forward to working with you on achieving the goals and aspirations you have for yourself.So, how may I help you?
I plan for many exciting opportunities for the children to ensure they are stimulated and interested in what they are being taught. During lessons, I guarantee that my plans contain activities which cater to all learning styles."Those who know, do. Those that understand teach."Aristotle
I tutor communication skills and public speaking skills because I have an intense degree of respect for the importance of these skills to success. Add to that, I firmly believe that each of us with our own unique personalities, styles and backgrounds, can be effective, positive, and dynamic communicators.I have had the pleasure and honor to help students and adults improve their communication and public speaking skills for over 20 years now. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who struggle with developing self-confidence to prepare and deliver powerful and engaging presentations; my goal is to help them accomplish their personal, academic and career goals.Because effective and dynamic communication skills are among those most highly rated for success in personal, academic, and business relationships, I am committed to helping communicators of various ethnic backgrounds, genders, ages and nationalities identify their goals and overcome barriers to fulfill their aspirations.I have a doctorate degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution, a master's degree in Speech Communication and a bachelor's degree in Communication Arts.Among the most fulfilling experiences I have had are those where former students and/or workshop participants approach me years after our time together to convey how positively the lessons I shared impacted their lives and supported the accomplishment of their goals.

Born and raised in Colombia! Fully Fluent in English as well. As a native Spanish speaker, I am eager to help students improve their Spanish reading, writing, and speaking abilities, offering insights into both the language and the rich cultural contexts in which it is used. My background in anthropology and Latin American studies allows me to provide a unique perspective on language learning, connecting linguistic skills with cultural understanding. As a cultural anthropologist, educator, and native Spanish speaker, I am passionate about helping students explore the complexities of human societies, develop critical thinking skills, and master language proficiency. My academic journey, which includes a Master's degree from Florida Atlantic University and ongoing PhD studies at the University of Calgary, has equipped me with a deep understanding of anthropology and interdisciplinary approaches to social sciences. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with diverse student populations. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at both Florida Atlantic University and the University of Calgary, I have assisted in designing course materials, facilitated engaging discussions, and provided personalized support to students in subjects such as Introductory Anthropology, Philosophy, and Medical Anthropology. My role as an Adjunct Professor at Florida Atlantic University allowed me to develop a comprehensive curriculum exploring the cultural, historical, and sociopolitical dimensions of peace and violence, encouraging students to analyze complex global issues from an anthropological perspective. I am particularly passionate about tutoring anthropology, Latin American studies, research methods, and Spanish language skills. My approach to tutoring is student-centered, focusing on creating a supportive atmosphere that facilitates open dialogue and intellectual exploration. I believe in adapting my teaching style to meet the individual needs of each student, whether that means providing additional explanations, using visual aids, or relating concepts to real-world examples. For language learners, this might involve immersive conversation practice, culturally relevant materials, or tailored exercises to address specific language learning goals. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education is a transformative tool for personal growth and social understanding. I strive to make complex anthropological concepts and language skills accessible and relevant to students' lives, encouraging them to think critically about the world around them. I also value inclusivity and diversity in education, having experience working with English as a Second Language (ESL) students and adapting my teaching methods to accommodate various learning styles and backgrounds. Outside of academia, I have a keen interest in museum education and public anthropology. My experiences as a Museum Educator at the Miami Children's Museum and as a Research Intern at History Miami Museum have given me valuable insights into communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences. These experiences inform my tutoring approach, allowing me to make anthropological concepts and language learning engaging and relatable to students from various backgrounds. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new cultures through travel, participating in academic conferences, and engaging in community-based research projects. These activities not only enrich my personal life but also contribute to my ability to bring fresh perspectives and real-world examples into my tutoring sessions, particularly when it comes to language and cultural studies.
My passion for teaching and tutoring sparked when I was an undergraduate student at Florida Atlantic University. I was hired as an undergraduate teaching assistant by the biology department to teach a discussion course for both biology 1 & 2. In my discussion courses I had gained experience in effectively communicating scientific concepts to students who were learning the content for the very first time. I had found that teaching students the big picture and conceptual knowledge first helped them digest more difficult information. I would also help students by using analogies and mnemonics to help them remember certain topics more easily! In my experiences as a teaching assistant I learned how to be patient with students when they do not understand right away; and I am able to tell when a student is not comprehending the topic which allows me to switch the way I portray the information. I also like to give visual queues to students to help them see what they are learning about whether by drawing pictures or by showing the student short animations. Also, I have the student teach me back to the best of their ability so I can pin point exactly where they are having trouble. I hope that with my guidance I can help students feel more confident approaching problems that they have not been able to answer before. The main topics that I tutor are biology, algebra 1&2, and pre-calculus. My favorite to tutor is biology because I think it is fascinating to learn how living organisms, especially humans, operate and respond to the environment around them.I earned my bachelors of science in biology at Florida Atlantic University and currently I am working on achieving my masters degree in biomedical science with the prospect of going to medical school. My goal is to continue teaching people throughout my professional career as a physician. When I am not studying in the library or taking classes, I like to be adventurous and spend my time outside. Some of my hobbies include spearfishing, snorkeling, mountain biking, and archery. I also enjoy spending time with close friends and meeting new people.
I am state certified elementary educator of thirteen plus years. I received my BA in Elementary Education in 1998 along with a certification in teaching English to speakers of other languages(TESOL). I am currently working towards writing children's books, relishing every moment of my journey, and planting a little organic garden.Tutoring is something I enjoy wholeheartedly. It gives me an opportunity to bridge learning gaps that often occur in the classroom or extend learning outside the textbooks. Much of my teaching and tutoring experience involves students from grades K-6 in the areas of: test taking CCGPS(Common Core Georgia Performance Standards), math, reading/comprehension, phonics, grammar/language arts, and science. My goal as a tutor is to create relevant problem solving opportunities that both teacher and student solve and create. In short, I'm enthusiastic about making learning experiences practical and easy to understand.Tutoring sessions will be catered to fit the individual needs of the student. Each student needs a learning experience with a slightly different recipe for achievement. My aim is to incorporate the strengths and interests of each student to create a platform for highly engaging opportunities for practice. With that said, gear up for an incredible journey and let's explore countless ways you can learn and be successful!
I believe in life long learning. We learn something new at every stage of our lives. It is my goal to help students facilitate learning goals, and become successful in their academic goals.
I love to teach and make learning fun!
Anyone can learn with the right teacher! Many students today question why they need to learn when information is so available on the internet. I always explain that we may not do push ups in the grocery store, but it is the arm muscles we gain from exercise that allow us to carry whatever it is we bought. Learning is exercise for the mind!

Graduated back in 2019 for multimedia studies, which encompasses pre-production, post-production, film, animation, and tv. I was an international baccalaureate student, so I'm quite familiar with tutoring other subjects as well.
My passion for teaching stems from a deep belief that education empowers students and transforms how they see the world. As both a scientist and educator, I find great joy in that moment when a complex concept suddenly "clicks." I have taught/mentored students from grades 7-12 in life and physical sciences, as well as college-level biology at Rio Salado College and FCS on Loudoun, VA. I hold a Master of Science in Biomedical Science from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science from Florida International University, backed by graduate research assistantships and extensive laboratory teaching experience.

I'm committed to helping every student discover their potential.

I am also an expert in Microsoft Outlook functions.I am enthusiastic about tutoring in the following subjects: nutrition, public health, exercise science, math, research fundamentals, and writing including thesis and dissertation writing and APA formatting and citations.My tutoring style is flexible. I enjoy meeting the student where they're at in terms of pacing and style of tutoring. For example, while some students appreciate hands on examples, others prefer demonstrations. While some prefer to come to a session with specific questions while others prefer to be given a specific calendar of tasks to work on day by day and so forth.I am excited to continue working with students and hope to get you excited about your educational journey soon!

I really never thought I would become an instructor. I was too shy. However, a requirement for my master's degree in mathematics at Florida Atlantic University was teaching a college algebra class. After teaching only one class, I changed my mind. Seeing the way students responded to me, how quickly they understood what I was teaching, and how many thanked me for the lesson, was all I needed. I went on to earn a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University.Nothing is more valuable than seeing a student experience that moment when they understand. These are the most fulfilling experiences of my life.
I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education in grades K-6th. With this I am also ESOL endorsed. I taught grades 1-3 and 6th grade as a Reading Intensive Teacher. After nine wonderful years of teaching, I decided to leave the classroom to educate my own children at home. During my teaching journey, I've learned that all students are unique in their own learning styles. This was difficult to tackle in a classroom setting of 30 students. This is what drove me to home educate and begin my online tutoring journey. I began by teaching students from mainland China the English language. While I love teaching all subjects, including math, I am very passionate about teaching Reading and Language Arts. In my experience, this content area is one that many of my students struggled with. I have many years of experience with prepping students for state testing and what those entail. However, my focus is to help current students find the joy in reading again. I am a firm believer in that reading should be a daily practice and one that should be enjoyed.

I am passionate about teaching and helping spark interest in many different subjects. When not teaching academic subjects I teach Pilates to adults and teens.
I know what it's like to be in a classroom and not understand the mathematics being taught. So I know how to relate to your struggles and frustrations. Customer satisfaction is my highest priority, so I seek my clients' feedback. Sometimes I will stay longer than I'm billed for to ensure the job gets done right. I know your time is valuable, so I try to be as flexible as possible. I am willing to meet at places like Starbucks or at the convenience of your own home. I look forward to hearing from you.
Education is my life! If I am not teaching then I am usually immersed in learning a new topic, skill, or hobby. Although I have worked in just about every area of education from summer camps to coaching, I formally began my journey by attaining my Bachelors Degree in Secondary English Education (Gr. 6-12). I discovered how much I loved working with younger students and went on to get my Masters Degree in Elementary Education (K-6 all subjects) from the University of Central FL.Since then I have worked as a 3rd and 5th grade classroom teacher as well as a specialist intervention teacher for reading and math for K-8. I am passionate about helping students develop a love of learning as well as a positive outlook on their own education.I also enjoy outdoor activities and yoga in my (very limited) free time. Cooking and spending time with family is also enjoyable for me. I look forward to working with students to help them achieve their academic goals and help them on their path to attaining their highest potential.
I first became interested in teaching when I was in elementary school and my mom would took me to work with her. I would help her grade her students work and it felt great! I graduated from college with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I thought that I would try a different route from my mom and at the time also my sister but it was meant for me to teach. I became a substitute teacher and began to build relationships with many students from different schools. My first time having my own classroom I realize that I was in the right profession. I am very passionate about teaching my students and making sure that they enjoy their learning experience as well. It has been 6 years and I still appreciate what I do.
