Better academics combined with more fun is the goal.

I consider it my duty to do what it takes to make the tutoring FUN for the person being tutored.
I have helped friends (and their children) to prepare for exams since when in high school I won various awards for my performance on exams. I won the top score for the Regents exam for Duval County in 1971 and for this I was recognized by the downtown Rotary Club. Also I won the top statewide scholarship award for the Chamber of Commerce and for the N.H.S. due to performance on exams. Also I won the Merit Scholarship award. I have only recently started to do tutoring for pay. Over the years I have helped my children, my grandchildren, and friends and others to prepare for exams ranging from kindergarten phonics up to and beyond SAT exams.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe the greatest asset to learning for anyone at any age is learning "how" to learn. I like to use modern techniques and ideas to creatively teach a child or adult a new concept. I am patient and unique.
I have a passion for teaching and as such opened a tutoring service that I ran for four years. I hold a Bachelors of General Studies from Valdosta State University and will graduate with my Master of Business Administration in May 2010. I excel at tutoring in English, sociology, psychology, mathematics, science, literature, and social studies.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and helping others excel. I am willing to go that extra mile to get the job done and I make sure that not only a student passes but they learn along the way. I have several styles of teaching and I like to keep it interesting by changing up the way that I present the material to keep the student engaged and interested. I like for the students to participate, communicate and provide feedback. This gives me the opportunity to see what they know and what they don't know. Also it allows me to see the growth in the student, allows me to tell whether or not they are learning, and it also allows me to know what approach to take in delivering the materials on their level in which they can understand and comprehend.

My initial goal with any student is to establish comfort and trust. My easy going style and infectious smile will help any pupil feel at ease. My hope is always to create motivation within the student and confidence in their own ability. I see my position as assisting the student learn in a non-threatening environment. Criticism will always be GENTLE and instructive, directing the child or adult to the correct solution to any problem. Increasing self-confidence and self-esteem will empower the student and create an atmosphere where they have faith in THEMSELVES and are certain that they can learn anything that they wish and achieve even the loftiest goals.

I taught in a classroom for one year as a teacher. I have taught title 1 for 3rd and 4th grade for one year. I have subtaught for about 3 to 4 years. I have tutored for about 11 years in all levels of math and basic reading.
I am a visiual learner but I understand that all students learn differently.So, I like to change the way I teach to the needs of the student and constantly turning the tables of their questions with questions that make them think and answer for themselves. I can read and write upside down very fluently and I believe this helps the students understanding. I have been voted teacher of the month continuously and students request me by name frequently. I currently work in a tutoring center where I work with 3 on 1. I try to make the student comforable and wants to work as well as enjoys it. I have been told numerous times that they have enjoyed coming to me that th ... read more

Problem solving in the real world. My teaching style is a philosophy that encourages students to seek out the process that works best to help he or she achieve the desired results.

There is no greater joy than to connect a child to a new concept or skill and see them develop confidence in their ability to learn. I love working one on one and finding out what the student is interested in or perhaps struggling with and help them build skills. I am patient, compassionate, and firmly believe that with time and direction that each student can find their way to a better understanding of new concepts. With my creative background and appreciation for popular culture, I have been able to connect with children of all ages and backgrounds in a positive way. Working with children is my passion.

The crucial factor in my decision to become a tutor was to repay our community by doing what I love the most, shift what I have learned onto our future generation. In order to help children in their academic needs, one has to elevate him/herself to child’s level of knowledge. Helping child directly and focusing full attention is a crucial factor in their success. My best skill is the preparedness to any questions that student might ask related to material covered in class, and from my past experience I have been impressed on more than one occasion by the level of the child’s intellectual view on the world. Some take satisfaction in creating non-living things where as being a tutor is the most rewarding profession because the final product of his or her hard work is a human being ready to enter the world armed with intellectual knowledge.

As a college graduate within the past 4 years I have earned 2 degrees, a BA in Psychology and an AS in Graphic Design. While working on my Graphic design degree I was approached by the Department head to work/tutor in the first semester lab. For this position I was required to take a 1 credit tutoring class, which showed me the fundamentals of how to work with diverse personality and learning types. I addition to my degrees I excelled in English and Math studies and graduated with a 3.65 GPA for my BA, and Honors for my AS.
I feel everyone has their own learning style, first i get to know the student to understand their style so I can effectively assist them in getting the best experience from sessions. Without knowing the student I do not feel tutoring would be lucrative as they would not leave sessions with the most possible knowledge. I understand everyone learns at different le ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I entered the teaching field through alternative certification and have since received certification in elementary education and ese k-12. I have attended various training opportunities in both math and science. I am now the lead math teacher for my school.
My teaching style is very relaxed and student driven. I believe that children learn more when they have input in the curriculum. I develop great relationships with my students by showing that I care about them and their lives outside of school. I communicate with parents regularly through class email lists and a class web site. I try to be clear and concise about what I expect and I hold every student to the expectations.

More About This Tutor...

I am the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally education. Near the end of this time, I felt that the best use of my talents and experience would be in the classroom helping to build a better society through the young people who cross that threshold. I spent three years in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area teaching 7th and 8th grade learning handicapped, emotionally disturbed, and autistic students. through all of these years I have also tutored students ranging from inner city broken homes to Ivy League geared people.
I have found that the best way to teach is to be f ... read more
