About Me…
I have decades of experience as a professional educator and tutor for students from elementary through high school levels, teaching and tutoring both in-person and online.
Although I’ve developed a specialty in test prep for the Reading, Writing, and English sections* of the SAT, ACT, CLT—as well with as college admission essay assistance—I still also provide outstanding tutoring for all aspects of English and Language Arts—from general coursework and tests to more specific HSPT, FAST, or AP exam prep. Additionally, I offer tutoring to adults for college/post-bac work, and professional educator certifications.
CREDENTIALS: Florida state-certified K-12 Language Arts and English, additional endorsements & certifications; B.A. in English and Masters in Secondary English Education from the University of Florida
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Full-time Hillsborough County Public Schools educator and Florida Virtual School instructor, Part-time Extended Learning Program & private tutor, in all areas of English/Language Arts and at all levels, from remedial/basic skills to Honors/AP to college/professional.
*If you have a need, I partner with experienced, exceptional math tutors. Once you've scheduled with me (or at your first session), I can immediately provide a scheduling link for SAT, ACT, CLT, high school/college math; and for HSPT, FAST, middle/elem school math, I can immediately make those sessions available for scheduling directly from my site.
“I’d definitely recommend using Shelly’s Online Tutoring. On my ACT, I went from an English score of a 23 to a 35! So now I’m back for tutoring to raise my Reading score.”
