Certified Tutors in Miami
Prep Academy Tutors is an elite team of certified teachers who have the qualifications and knowledge needed to provide a professional level of education. Our Miami tutors are certified tutors in Miami who are qualified to teach but believe in the value of personalized education. After COVID-19, many K-12 students have fallen behind. Tutoring has been proven to be the most effective method of getting students back to their grade level, or above. One-on-one tutoring is more effective than smaller class sizes, after-school classes, longer semesters, longer school days, or summer school. In addition, today’s large class sizes make it nearly impossible to give each student the right level of attention they need. We pride ourselves in providing certified educators with an alternative option that allows them to educate in an environment that is low-pressure and personal to each student. At Prep Academy Tutors, we create an environment that is both fulfilling and enriching for both our tutors and students.

Miami Curriculum-Based Education
Miami develops a curriculum based on standards established by the Florida State Department of Education.
In Miami, the adoption of standards is a State Department of Education responsibility. A standard describes what student should know and be able to do. Standards are sometimes referred to as learning standards. Standards define the goals of education — what students need to learn — not the processes of education or how schools are structured or how they operate.
These curriculum standards are maintained by all of our tutors. By working with your child’s curriculum, we can help fill any gaps in their knowledge and cover material before it’s taught. This will provide them with the tools they need to better understand and more confidently approach subject matter as it is taught.

Enrichment & Remedial Programs
Enrichment Programs
Tutoring is for more than just remediation purposes. Tutoring can be an enriching experience for any student looking to learn more or get ahead. Prep Academy Tutors offers enrichment tutoring programs in Miami to help students challenge themselves academically.
Remedial Programs:
Every child is capable of learning when equipped with the right tools. Prep Academy Tutors offers remedial programs that are designed to provide these tools to students struggling with subjects like reading and English.
We offer two remedial programs:
Direct Instruction Reading Mastery Program: Our tutors offer a direct instruction reading mastery program that is designed to help students struggling with reading comprehension. This program is 90% review based and uses carefully developed and fully-scripted directions to help students to retain information long term and develop comprehension at a faster rate.
The Wilson Reading System: This program is designed to suit the educational needs of students with dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities. Tutors executing this program exercise the Orton-Gillingham method; which is the concept of utilizing multi-sensory instruction through reading, listening, seeing, etc., which helps students to retain literacy comprehension.

About
Andrew is a Florida Certified Teacher. He is a native of Guyana, a relatively small country in the continent of South America.
After teaching and a stint of Public Relations, he moved to the Bahamas on an offer to take up a teaching position on the island of Freeport. He taught there for about 14 years during which he completed his Bsc degree in Secondary Language Arts at Nova Southeastern University. While there he also took the opportunity to travel to the United Kingdom where he observed and studied their Educational systems.
This was easily arranged and facilitated since he was granted first hand access by his family and friends who worked as teachers in England. The experience was quite informative and somewhat nostalgic since he was educated himself in the same system (Guyana then British Guiana was once a colony of the United Kingdom).
During many Summer months Andrew offered his services to the remediation of many students who had not achieved within the given school year the grade points necessary to make it to their next allocated grade. He has experienced notable and consistent success. He has also offered courses in Art/Craft, Folk Culture, Science and Maths to students Grade 2 to Grade 5.
Andrew firmly believes in the power of inspiration and motivation to take students to levels they may not have believed really possible. He continues to place faith in a child’s ability to respond most positively if a relationship of mutual trust, respect and reverence could be built and sustained.
As a mentor he has dedicated himself to researching modern and updated methods and strategies proven to improve learning for students.
He has also achieved measurable success with once ‘at risk’ students some of whom have maintained contact until present.
Andrew continues to find these experiences enjoyable and extremely rewarding.
