I have a minor in Psychology. I feel teaching reading is a strength utilizing many different approaches. I believe every student has their own style of learing. I am very much a visual learner and utilize this style. Many students, though, are tactile learners and/or find their attention is kept using computers. I love discovering what type of learner each child is. I li

Kristin P. - Jacksonville, FL 32224 (35.3 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $32.00/hr.
Hello!
My name is Kristin. I am 28 years old and very passionate about teaching and working with students. I am an experienced tutor and have worked with students of all ages and disciplines.

The students I worked with all saw great gains in areas that they had previously struggled in. I prefer to use a more individualized teaching style and it is important that each and everyone of my student's program is specifically created and tailored to meet his or her educational needs.

Heather H - Keystone Heights, FL 32656 (5.1 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process. As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obstacles

Jeremiah G - Keystone Heights, FL 32656 (5.8 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Every subject has its own teaching style, yet there are some consistencies throughout. I teach based on how the student learns. This may require adapting typical styles to meet the individual student's needs.
You or your child will benefit from my focus on repetition and consistency, yet at the same time my desire for a variety of learning techniques. I encourage every student to do his or her own best work before bringing it to me, then allow me to help enhance his or her work to help the student excel.
It is my firm belief that every student has the potential to excel with the right environment, style, and motivation. It is my goal to figure out what this is for you or your child and provide you the opportunity to do so. In every subject I am qualified to tutor I have taken high school, college, graduate, and/or professional courses and earned at least a "B+" (91%), with except

I will share many experiences and examples in order to help studnets understand the text. I have much more patience than most younger teachers and have ways to help getthe text ideas over to the students. I love to teach reading and I use experiences and examples to help explain texts. I have had wonderful experiences teaching many interns and residents in medical schools hospitals in the US> I have reintroduced older medications that have been used in the past and are very cost effective but have been forgotten.

Jennifer A - Starke, FL 32091 (10.5 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $33.50/hr.
I use whatever works best for the child and can hold their attention span. It depends largely on the child's age, interests, and whether or not there are any learning, or any other disabilities. All children are capable of learning and enjoying to learn. I believe all children, whether normal developing or special needs deserves the same experiences, just delivered in different ways. I have worked in both General Education and ESE education. I speak spanish fluently and french, semifluently. I also have some background in American Sign Language. I have also worked with the emotionally disturbed child.

Kathleen H - Green Cove Springs, FL 32043 (16.1 mi) - Florida Writes Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I believe in making learning fun. Young students need to be constantly engaged during the leaning process. All children have the capacity for success and as a teacher its my job to give them the scaffolding they need to achieve it. If a student starts with the basics they can build on that to achieve great things. All children have different learning styles. If a teacher can find a style that works for their student they can not only help them with the task at hand, they can also give them tools to continue successfully on their own. I believe in teaching children how to teach themselves. I am currently completing my internship for my Music Education degree from the University of North Florida. I am specializing in teaching elementary age students and I have already completed two pre-internships for my degree in elementary schools. During my degree I had the opportunity to tutor
