Ms. Iliana the Tutor was an educator in Miami, Florida. She is a master in English Education and Liberal Studies. Over the last 15 years, Ms. Iliana experienced the state of education in the USA today, both as a college instructor & tutor. Unlike most other educators who believe one mold fits all, her method is truer to the student: Teach using differentiated instruction in order to cater to each students' unique learning style.

Philosophy

All students are born with the ability to succeed and to become life-long learners if guided correctly. An educator's responsibility is to acknowledge that each individual student has a different learning style. Based on such confirmation, my methods to teaching involve differentiated instruction. Each student receives individualized research-based instruction that allows learning for all styles, including ELL and special needs learners. To increase self-direction, motivation and esteem, all tutoring lessons are student-centered. At the same time, when applicable, lessons are connected to real-world scenarios, making the instruction meaningful and purposeful for the student.

       My child's self-esteem and self-direction increased in less than a month due to Ms. Hakes' caring approach.

       Very caring tutor! She will let you know whether your child needs the tutoring or whether it is something else that is hampering your child's success.

       Ms. Hakes was the best tutor I ever had. She taught me to take responsibility for my learning. That is what helped me become focused.
