Experience Summary
I have been a full-time tutor since 2009, and have worked with almost 500 students!
I specialize in making concepts clear and meaningful by adapting my tutoring to each student's individual learning style and experiences. I also use many hands-on materials and provide concise notes pages to give students the tools to be able remember and apply the material we have worked on.
I tutor in my home, in Palm Harbor (off Tampa Rd., near Belcher), and have converted the front part of my home into a tutoring studio, where I provide a quiet, distraction-free, positive learning environment with many hands-on materials and other resources. I am incorporated as Seeds of Knowledge Tutoring, but it is strictly a one-woman business!
I see clients six days/week (Sundays – Fridays), and have appointments available from 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM. I offer sessions that are 1, 1.5, or 2 hours in length. The fee is $40 - $55/hr, depending on session length and payment plan. Ask for a rate card!
I am a state and Montessori certified teacher, with 20 years of experience teaching and tutoring students (from preschoolers to adults) in a variety of settings.
I know how important it is that students (and parents) feel comfortable with a tutor. I would be happy to meet with you, with no pressure or obligation, to make sure that you feel that it would be a good match, and to develop a customized tutoring plan with you. I can also send you a list of references and links to recent background checks.
Teaching Style
I use many hands-on materials, and provide detailed lesson notes, so that students have a summary of what they learned.

Other Comments
I offer Pay-Per-Session and Discount Packs of 10, 15, or 20 sessions. The more sessions you purchase, the lower your hourly rate. Ask for a rate card.
