Sean B. - Gainesville, FL 32608 (24.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $20.00/hr.
I'm a rising senior in high school who has been tutoring peers/coaching the math team at my high school for three years. Both my PSAT and SAT scores are in the 99+ percentile and include perfect scores of 800 in both the Mathematics and Writing Sections of the SAT. I also received a score of 800 in SAT Math Level 2. I have thoroughly studied the SAT/PSAT and can pinpoint exactly what the tests are asking for and how to raise your scores. I firmly believe anyone can raise his or her scores drastically with the proper techniques and guidance, as I have helped several people do so and have done so myself. I am also willing to tutor anyone who is interested in the following subject areas: Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Statistics, Pre-Calc, and Calculus (up to the AP calc BC level or calc 2).
$20/hr. Contact me if interested and I will get in touch as soon as possible.
Thanks

Tristan N. - Gainesville, FL 32608 (24.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Having scored a 1370 on the SAT after three attempts, I can safely say that I wish I knew then what I know now about taking the SAT. Moreso than any other exam, the SAT can be approached with a very methodical strategy that will maximize the student's time and minimize the number of points lost.
As far as the contents of the exam go, they are not much more difficult than the typical FCAT. Many students simply freeze or forget important information when faced with the stresses that a big, important exam like the SAT has in store. With the proper tutelage, however, a student will be well prepared to receive this exam and succeed! Greetings one and all!
My name is Tristan, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida's College of Engineering as of August 2012. I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Nuclear Engineering and a cumulative GPA of 3.25 (and I will tell

Steve N - Dunnellon, FL 34433-2217 (21.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $32.00/hr.
My teaching style varies with the learning style of the student I am working with at any given time. I believe in positive reinforcement with facilitative rather than demeaning corrections. My basic philosophy for all students is to meet their wagon where it is at, hitch my horse to it and carry the students as far as they can go with their abilities and aptitudes. I believe strongly that every student can succeed and that strong reading, writing and mathematics skills are a key to that success. I know I make a difference to my students because they and their parents tell me so. My most gratifying moments come when parents tells me, "I want you to teach my child just like you taught me!" I decided to become a teacher in 7th grade when two teachers in a time of family crisis turned my life around and turned me on to learning. I majored in elementary education, earned a dual master's degre

Betty S - Newberry, FL 32669 (25.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal 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

Avi R - Gainedville, FL 32608 (26.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I spent some time in college tutoring other students in subjects such as mathematics and Hebrew. I was asked by the academic support office to tutor because my advisor knew I was a committed student with a strong knowledge of many subjects. I was honored to be thought of in such a way. I did well with my students and they respected me. I was serious about accomplishing the tasks at hand when I met with them and the overall reflection in their grades showed very positive results. I am an excellent choice if you are looking for a tutor who is hard working, intelligent, and devoted to helping his students really grasp the concepts at hand. I consider myself to be a very good people person. I have a way of relating to the students that I'm helping. As mentioned above, my students respect me and see that I am serious and focused on helping them succeed in their studies. I look forward to

Melissa M - Gainesville, FL 32608 (26.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $33.00/hr.
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 the University of Florida in all math related topics. I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and I am a registered substitute teacher. I have always been a diligent student, as my transcript can attest, and I have a passion for teaching anyone, especially in the areas of mathematics, economics, English, and writing. 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

Lauren H - Gainesville, FL 32608 (26.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I am currently an English major at the University of Florida, looking to finish my undergraduate education in two semesters and graduate with honors and a Bachelor of Arts. I have had past experience working and volunteering with children on an individual level, teaching them various facets of English - including vocabulary, grammatical components, and have helped to develop comfort with such tests as the PSAT and SAT. This would be my first teaching opportunity specifically as a tutor, but I feel confident and capable that my education, passion for English language and literature, and past experience guiding children, will enable me to be a great tutor. If there is anything I believe about teaching, in any form, it's that you need to be passionate about what you are teaching, yourself, before you can translate that to others seeking knowledge. I am incredibly passionate about English, a

Warren T - Gainesville, FL 32608 (27 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $33.00/hr.
My favorite approach is to take it slow. I find that to teach a student a specific field of knowledge there is almost always a hindering block that cannot be seen at first glance. For instance, a student who is having trouble with division of decimal numbers may not realize that the whole issue stems from his lack of understanding of the multiplication tables. Allowing the student to show you what he or she knows and watching the student attempt the problem step-by-step will reveal this hidden block. Once this hidden block is taken care of, the information will flow easily and naturally. Throughout my education I have always prided myself in being an excellent student. Although this extended to all my subjects, my most passionate courses have always been in mathematics. This has been true from elementary all the way through college. Once in high school, I began tutoring students in this

Bindi S - gainesville, FL 32608 (27.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $35.00/hr.
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. I tutored high-school students in numerous areas including math, foreign language, reading, and test preparation. After graduation, I became a site coordinator for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. I tutored elementary aged students during my time with the Boys & Girls Clubs. Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed working with people; especially youth helping them become successful and build confidence in academics and other areas. 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 metho

David H - Gainesville, FL 32607 (27.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $34.50/hr.
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. 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.

Pruthu P - Gainesville, FL 32608 (27.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $32.00/hr.
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 Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor but then I was moved to a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in an introductory chemistry class. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my tutoring skills. 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

Candi R - Beverly Hills, FL 34465 (27.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of children and adults fail as students because teachers often choose their prized pupils and disregard the rest. I think this is grossly unjust, and believe everyone has the potential for greatness. I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of writing
