In addition, I have also worked as a teacher's aid in Duval County working with elementary students one on one to help them master areas where they had difficulties in. The students I worked with all saw great gains in areas that they had previously struggled in.

Education is So Important. Let Me Help

I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are important in a student’s success.
I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching a ... read more

Experienced Tutor

As an engineer and I have taught planners and engineers how to use software to do calculations. I have taught GRE preparation for Kaplan (analytical and verbal reasoning) both to small classes of 3 to 7 students and individual tutoring. In 2009, I was accepted into the Educators of Change program by the Duval County School Board. I am now a certified teacher in Mathematics and Physics (grades 9-12). I have a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a master’s in Public Administration. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills through writing articles for publication and many professional reports.
I enjoy teaching and working with children. While I believe that all children can learn, they do so in their own ways and at their own pace. It is the tutor’s responsibility to ensure that the student(s) understand the material. It is important to show students how one id ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : I have helped students in elementary school and at the college level improve their writing skills.

I find out what the student needs help with and tailor teaching accordingly. I have a way of making learning easier and more fun.
I have varied and vast teaching experience (please see individual subjects below). I have a Master's and Bachelor's in French with a minor in Italian and am also a practicing LPN who has been working for the past 8 years in Rehab/Long-term Care and have participated in First Coast Technical College's Preceptor Program, where nursing students are paired with a mentor to practice clinical skills and obtain on-the-job training.

ALL STUDENTS WELCOME!

Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn.
I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my students.

Extremely patient, cool tutor wanting to help you

Extremely patient, but organized. Teach students how to be organized, how to properly prepare for tests and to be able to recall information when needed.
Seven years of experience as a case manager with Healthy Families, where we helped teach families for to be better parents and to become self-sufficient. Besides being extremely organized, I am very patient and try to reach everyone on whatever level they are currently on. I don't just shove a bunch of information at you and hope you get it. Instead, I build on what strengths you already have, and show you how to use your unique, individual learning style when I am tutoring you. My strengths have always been writing, spelling, and all things related to Language Arts/English Comp. Also, I have always been pretty successful at test taking and study techniques.

Best Tutor In Duval County

B.A. English, Minor art/music I have always been involved with people in my work experience. A lot of sales, telemarketing, home business entities in which I assisted the public. I have been an elder and served in my church. I must have people in my life in order to prosper. People can range from senior citizens to little ones - they all need inspiration, motivation, care and kindness. For the last four years, I have been helping children in Duval County as a Substitute Teacher. This has been an extra special time for me to work with the youth. They truly need mentorship. I feel so blessed when a child comes and says, "thank you for teaching us today." All the money in the world could not replace that moment. To see someone's life changed for the better is awesome. I purpose in my heart every day to have a child learn something in my class. Even if it is one student. That m ... read more

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.

Writing Skills is one of my top subjects! Skilled in creative writing and writing assessment preparation

In my experience as I written I have spent years helping various students to write to reach a desired goal. I enjoy making writing easy and fun. As lead of creative writing at Dream Magazine I had the opportunity of interviewing local artists and composing biographies that would invite their fans into the more intimate area's of their lives. During this work I learned the importance of preserving the voice of the client. I always want to be sure that the voice of the client is heard and that when my work is finished that the client is adequatly represented and satisfied. As a tutor I have recognized the significance of what the student is able to take away. It has never been my mission to write for them. It is only my desire to implement skills that are easy to execute and remember.
In attempt to reach the desired goal when writing, I begin by focusing on the topic. Many t ... read more
