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. 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.

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.

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 idea builds on the last. I will help your child learn the material in his/her own way. I consider myself to be patient, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable of the subject matter. I truly believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am very proud of the kind letters of thanks that I have received from parents of some of my students this year. 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 studen

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. 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.

Skilled in creative writing and writing assessment preparation In attempt to reach the desired goal when writing, I begin by focusing on the topic. Many times students have ideas but they struggle with piecing together and their ideas. With the key point that they will create we then establish a plan to help reach the goal,always step by step. 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

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.
