Experience Summary
I have been tutoring Math and English in the private sector off and on since I was a high school student. Additionally, I taught as a substitute teacher at a private school during periods from 2003-2006. I have excelled throughout my schooling, receiving an IB Diploma and graduating Summa Cum Laude from UF. Furthermore, I have performed strongly on a range of standardized tests, scoring 1490 on SAT, 33 on ACT and a perfect 800 on SAT-II Writing.
Teaching Style
I believe strongly that tutoring is much less about the material and moreso about the student. I pride myself in my ability to identify the learning styles of individual students and adapt my teaching approach to them. I believe that each child deserves to be reached out to on an individual level, and I like to engage my students in dialogue and discussion to create that bond. I feel that tutoring, and learning, is very much about trust; once the student trusts, he/she is willing to commit to learn...and that is often the key.
