As an educator in the public sector, I recognize the growing gap in education. I also understand the pressure put on teacher's and the lack of time to get student's to where they need to be. It is imperative that students have the opportunity to be provided with academic assistance that is relative to what is needed to progress through school and life. With over twelve years of experience, a Masters in Business, and a Specializing in Educational leadership, I have the qualities that is needed for students achieve academic success.

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 consider it my duty to do what it takes to make the tutoring FUN for the person being tutored.

Math portion I am very patient, but I expect you to work to his or her full ability and to be honest about your weak points. If you can do most of the work on your own and come to me with what you truly have problems with, out time together will be much more productive. I have a been tutoring math on at least a part-time basis for over 20 years. I have a degree in Psychology and another in Geomatics (Surveying and Mapping - heavy on mathematics) from the University of Florida. I have received a perfect score on the math portion of the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). Let me put that experience to work for you!

I have taught GRE preparation for Kaplan for several years. 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

My first instructional experience was when I was 8; I taught my cousin how to read. From there, I went on to tutor as an undergrad and to teach while in graduate school. I have missed the one-on-one aspect of tutoring, and am especially able to help with English, but can work in other areas as well. I believe the key to teaching is communication. Building a connection between myself and the student has always been a cornerstone of my pedagogical style. I believe that most students have the potential to succeed, and that my role as an instructor is to help them to teach themselves -- which is the essence of real learning.

I have 15 years Wall Street finanace related experience. In 1998 I accepted a position teaching english teachers at a language institute in South Korea. The teachers became my friends and I was invited to guest teach at their respective middle schools and high schools. I loved my years living and travelling in Asia, the cultures, the institute but especially the students. Since returning from Asia I have been tutoring out of my home in Ponte Vedra Beach. My students range from middle school to graduate school. I prepare students for the PSAT, SAT, GRE, applications and admissions. I design lessons personalized for each student, bringing a wide variety of materials to the sessions. I think it is important to have fun, laugh and relax while keeping a close eye on achievement.

I have a BS in Chemical Engineering and a MS in Materials Science and Engineering, both of which focus heavily on math and physical sciences, particularly physics and chemistry. I was at the top of my class throughout middle and high school, and often volunteered to assist fellow students in areas where I was ahead of the curve. I currently voluntarily tutor my sister in algebra, and have served as a teacher's assistant in a materials science lab course and a general chemistry course while a grad student at the University of Florida. My verbal skills are considerably above average, particularly for a science student (SAT score = 710 verbal, 770 math; GRE score = 680 verbal, 800 math). Everyone’s learning style and thinking process is unique. To effectively teach is to be able to bridge your own thinking process with the student’s learning style.

My teaching style is based on one thing...all children can succeed. I am the person that welcomes the challenges and weaknesses of students and turn those into successes. I am the teacher who students won't have to feel like they are not the best in the class based only on their grades, but encourage them that they are. Encouragement and celebration is the key to inspiring children to succeed. As an University of North Florida, special education gradate, I have always loved children with disabilities. I have pre-interned and interned in multiple special education settings and non special education settings. I have been an aspiring teacher for the past 5 years and I have completed that dream. I am qualified to teach various learning styles and challenge the desires that all children have to succeed.

I am a patient and encouraging teacher. I am very committed to my students and teaching is my passion. I am not afraid of taking a student from level “zero” because I believe that anyone can learn as long they have the motivation and the explanations they need.
