I had the pleasure of teaching a variety of high school English classes for the past eleven years. I actually enjoy helping students understand how to become better thinkers and writers. Although I am now learning video production and filmmaking, I still love teaching students through tutoring sessions. I grew up in a small agricultural town near Reno, NV and most recently lived in Los Angeles before moving to the Portland area. I love language and had a book of poetry published. I think everybody is a better writer and storyteller than they give themselves credit for, and I want to help others realize this.

I was Born in Lima Peru, and moved to California to pursue higher education. Attained a Bachelor in Science of Nursing from CSUSM in Northern San Diego County, CA, and graduated with Honors. Currently a Registered Nurse with a prospect of returning to School for a Nurse Practitioner Degree in Education/Research and certification in Music Therapy. I recently relocated to Florida and have just received my license in this State as well, but gladly the flexibility in my schedule allows me to put my tutor skills to good use at this point.I have experience teaching kindly, clearly and patiently. I have worked as a nurse for many years in a hospital, and every patient interaction is taken as an opportunity for learning. Teaching patients and families regarding their medical condition, medications, and plan of care, while they are under the stress of being in the hospital can require a lot of patient explaining, repetitiveness, and time to allow for return demonstration, a skill which I truly value and strive for every time. I care about helping others and I care about you attaining your goals. Needless to say, you will have my complete attention whether we meet online or in person.Not only have I experienced mentoring others or have been mentored myself, but I have grown up in a family where teaching was my father's vocation, and which he practiced since the early age of nineteen. He has been a role model to me of what a good tutor should be, and also that many times tutors becomes someone who can positively influence others lives.I have taught adults, and teenagers but I have two little sisters who I helped raised, and I have a special place in my heart for them. Learning can be fun, can be translated into everyday life, and can become something you care about. We all get stuck sometimes when we are studying something for the first time, or after revisiting after a long time. It's okay, that is why tutors are here to help you clear doubts and make different subjects less intimidating.My tutoring strengths are in teaching Biology, Physical Sciences, Microbiology, Public Speaking, Study and organizational skills, and teaching Language (Espaol & English at full proficiency, and Beginners French). I selected these subjects because I am confident in these areas, and have had great results during my own years as a student in them. As a tutor, I am very patient as I have been in your shoes, I know the feeling of being stuck and the anxiety that comes before a test, the longing for a better GPA to get to your dream career, and the need of being able to communicate in a foreign land. I love making learning fun, and practical, I love to give examples for you to grasp concepts, watch you be able to rationalize them and explain back to me. I believe everybody can achieve success with proper direction, and as I learn from you I will be sensitive to your learning style and needs.Outside of academia, I thoroughly enjoy singing! I have sung since I was a little girl, and try to keep it up. I spend my free time recording songs, and editing simple music videos.. It is just enjoyable for me, and it is one other way in which I give back what little talent I might have. I enjoy watching 'do it yourself' craft and beauty videos on youtube . Lately, I have been learning how to cook Healthy Peruvian food, and began a ketogenic way of eating. I would love to hear about you, your educational goals, and extra curricular interests. I look forward to meeting you!

I am student - centered and have been teaching for almost 30 years! Yikes! I know my stuff and collaborate with my learners to create a plan that meets their goals and increases their knowledge.

Hello! My name is Dawn Rice. I have been an educator for over 15 years. When I was very young, I knew I wanted to be an educator. I attended college at California State University in San Marcos, CA. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies, and then I received my Multiple Subject, California State Teaching Credential. I taught 2nd grade for 6 years and creative writing. After moving to Frisco, TX I obtained my Texas Teaching Certification and have taught creative writing to 2nd through 8th grade students in summer and school year writing workshops. Teaching creative ways to write, and hearing what my students create, is so very rewarding. Additionally, I instructed future teachers in education courses at UNT and taught art and creative writing at an after school enrichment program.I am passionate about guiding and instructing learners in a variety of subject areas, while introducing tools that will lead them to success in both their academic and personal experiences.A bit about me.

Engaging with different personalities and learning styles in group settings has significantly contributed to my growth as a tutor, enabling me to effectively cater to diverse needs.
