I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.

I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

Toccoa G - Newberry, FL 32669 (1.7 mi) - GED Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with children. Especially those that are from low income families and different cultures. I have volunteered tutoring children after school. Additionally, I have taken several classes about learning styles, teaching styles, and study skills to improve my own academic achievement. This allows me to better communicate information in the different ways needed. Following, I have experience working with children with learning disabilities, particularly autism. I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the tim

Betty S - Newberry, FL 32669 (3.7 mi) - GED Tutor - $39.00/hr.
First,I show my students I deeply care how they feel about learning. I help them identify their blocks to learning and success and help put them at ease. I know how to adapt my style to the particular age I am working with. I am very patient. I know proven strategies to help students master basic skills and more complex skills, using their style of learning. I will recognize pretty early on their zone of mastery, and capacity to cope, so they don't get too frustrated or too bored. I will use whatever modality I can find (creatively and safely) to help bring understanding. I am a cheerleader and am excited when students gain mastery of a topic that at first seemed overwhelming. I have worked with children and youth pre-school - 12th grade since 1982. I have done some literacy instruction with adults. I have been recognized as an outstanding mentor to disadvantaged youth. I have

Nancy L - Gainesville, FL 32608 (6.8 mi) - GED Tutor - $31.00/hr.
Two of my greatest strengths as a teacher include rapport with students and organization. I am usually able to develop a rapport with students, which I feel helps encourage a positive working environment. I am quite organized which helps me attend to my students' needs and to help students organize themselves. In working with a variety of age groups and a variety of subject matter, I feel that I have a strong understanding of learning needs for a variety of students. I have had a great variety of experiences in education. I spent two years teaching social studies, one year at the high school level and one year at the middle school level. Other educational experiences I have had include tutoring and working part time with elementary students, teaching science.

My background includes teaching grades 6-12 in public and private schools as well as tutoring high schools students at home and at an academy for college students, some of whom have learning disabilities.

Toneita B - gainesville, FL 32607 (7.6 mi) - GED Tutor - $48.00/hr.
Learning has always been fun to me. I love helping and teaching others, especially kids. My Godmother has been the Director for tutoring services for FCAT for many years so I’ve shadowed her majority of my life. While in high school I tutored her elementary students after school in basic algebra and science. We also tutored middle school students on Saturdays getting them prepared for FCAT. I tutored kids in reading and math, mostly math because I have a strong background in math and I’ve always excelled in the subject. We’ve made a great difference in improving FCAT scores, making learning more fun for students while building their confidence in their ability to learn challenging things. I enjoy making learning fun for my students because it keeps them entertain and ready to learn. I like to find out what my students like and construct my teaching around that because it becomes

David H - Gainesville, FL 32607 (9.2 mi) - GED Tutor - $34.50/hr.
As a former student and professional athlete, I am a very self-motivated person. From the University of Florida I earned a B.A. in History and a Minor in Education. Last year, I worked in the classroom as a substitute teacher on all three major levels of grade school education. In addition, I have been a supervisor and counselor at various camps which require long hours and spendig individual time with children. I love teaching and working with children. I believe good communication is what makes life efficient. In my mind, good communication requires a positive, instructive, and detail manner. A better future requires a better education now, and how we pursue it is vital. Education empowers a mind, attitude empowers a lifestyle.

Melissa M - Gainesville, FL 32608 (9.6 mi) - GED Tutor - $33.00/hr.
My teaching style embodies a combination of individualism and structure. Before I teach any subject, I dissect the topic to get to the fundamental root that may cause difficulties in learning. I break down the problem into a simple nature so that students can understand the logical reasoning of how to solve any problem. I believe that everyone has a unique learning style, so I use a flexible approach to better help students discover beyond just the right answer. Instead of just giving a student a few steps to memorize, I emphasize understanding why the solution makes sense, so that they may solve any problem regardless of their memorization abilities. I will be graduating from UF this fall semester with a degree in marketing and mass communication. Although I am young, I have had some experience in teaching, as I have worked as a tutor during the summer. I have also served as a tutor at

Kristidel M - Gainesville, FL 32607 (9.8 mi) - GED Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Reading, writing, and speaking are essential skills that students of all levels would be well advised to hone and perfect. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have striven to assist both teachers and students to use words thoughtfully to be a critical reader of the words of others. While teaching continuing education classes for teachers, I helped my colleagues gain new tools to help them unpack difficult texts, and model how to share those tools with their students. I have experience teaching middle and high school students of all levels, from remedial to gifted. I also have tutored and mentored college students in reading, public speaking, and composition at all levels from undergraduate to graduate. All students can gain great benefits from participating in rigorous coursework and being encouraged to think critically. I am a firm believer in using differentiation techniques to

Christopher C - Gainesville, FL 32608 (9.9 mi) - GED Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I enjoy working with children. I volunteered at a day care center for four years and tutored children with learning disabilities. I am very patient and calm; my friends describe me as zen. I know that all children have the ability to learn; yet, some need help to unlock their potential. I love teaching. In fact, I am currently enrolled in the UF PROTEACH Masters Program, and by next year I plan to be a fully certified high school teacher. As I have devoted myself to my academic career, I will dedicate myself to helping all children learn. I devote myself to my work. During high school, I enrolled myself at the local college (Florida Atlantic University) and took advanced placement courses. I graduated second in my high school class with over a 5.0 weighted-GPA and 500 hours of community service. I also orchestrated a 7-student tutoring group through the Exceptional Student departm

Bindi S - gainesville, FL 32608 (10.1 mi) - GED Tutor - $35.00/hr.
When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching methods. Primarily, I like to understand the learning styles of my student so I know what will best work for them. I will do whatever it takes to make sure the student understands the concept and succeeds. I also like to encourage students by implementing different incentive programs; this will motivate them to continue working hard. I am extremely confident that I will be able to teach my students successfully in a fun and engaging manner. Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from the University of Florida in May 2007. While I was earning my Bachelors’ degree I was a tutor for Upward Bound.

Pruthu P - Gainesville, FL 32608 (10.5 mi) - GED Tutor - $32.00/hr.
My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide the student to get the correct answer and not just give the answer. Sometimes the thinking process to achieving the correct answer is more important than the answer itself. I also try using diagrams and figures when they are called for to explain some of the topics. I frequently use positive reinforcement so the student feels even more encouraged to learn. As a microbiology student, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry let me to take a position at the University of Flori
