Carol: Expert Tutor Reading, Writing, Speaking

Introduction: I have over 25 years' experience as a specialist, teaching English Language Arts to K-12th grade students, college-age students and adults who need better writing and speaking skills. I also work with ESL students and am Level 5 TEFL certified. All tutoring is over Zoom. I specialize in Writing genres aligned with state ELA standards, including grammar, reading comprehension and speaking. From my many years working as a consultant in the classroom, I created the Incite to Write program, currently used by hundreds of teachers around the country to motivate students to write. Many students struggle with writing. My writing and reading comprehension strategies develop critical and creative thinking skills, curiosity, build confidence, and make learning fun. All sessions are one-on-one over Zoom, which I have found to hold students' attention better than in-person tutoring. Good communications skills - both writing and speaking - are essential to excel in today's workplace. The diverse and motivating strategies I use are supported by federal ESSA Tier 1 evidence and targeted to meet your unique goals and address learning gaps. Based on the success of my program, I've designed and led professional development training for teachers on Language Arts and creative writing and reading strategies throughout Florida for the FL Department of Education; worked as a consultant with the Miami, Broward and Palm Beach School Districts, and my non-profit educational organization was an approved provider of afterschool tutoring for 8 years with federal Title I programs in NM, CA, WA, and TX. As an adjunct professor for Lesley University's creative M.Ed program for teachers in Boston, MA, I trained teacher cohorts around the country in innovative writing and reading strategies designed to engage, motivate and inspire students. ADULTS and English Language Learners: Gain confidence in English pronunciation, fluency, conversation, writing, and presentation skills. Zoom lessons are one-on-one. I am a Level 5 TEFL certified instructor. FEES: $55-$65 an hour. For more information and references, ********************************.
