Hello, students & grown-ups!
My name is Art Aiello, but my students often prefer to call me Mr. A. I bring over 30 years of experience as a professional writer and editor and three years teaching English Language Arts to my tutoring sessions. My goal is to provide an experience akin to what students would encounter in a traditional classroom, with a focus on making learning interactive, collaborative and fun.​
Whether we’re tackling persuasive and argumentative writing or refining overall writing abilities, I focus on boosting students' confidence and effectiveness as communicators. My extensive background equips me to help students not only meet academic goals but also develop a genuine love for writing and critical thinking.
​Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your or your student's writing journey and make it an enjoyable one!
My Teaching Experience
I taught English and journalism at Bloomingdale Senior High School in Valrico, FL, from July 2020 to March 2023. During that time, my classes included English 1, English 3 and Journalism 1. I also taught advanced journalism by advising the yearbook program.
Every day, I developed lesson plans aligned with state education standards. I was also part of the school's Instructional Leadership Team during the 2022-2023 school year.
My Education
I earned a Master of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication with an emphasis on public relations from Kent State University in May 2014. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Scientific and Technical Communication, graduating cum laude from Michigan Technological University in June 1991. My education has provided a strong foundation in writing, communication and media, which I have applied throughout my career.
