Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Duval County, FL

...experiences have proven that I am an effective tutor. I am currently completing my final year of a Master's in Early Childhood Education at Georgia State. I am a certified elementary school teacher, and hold an endorsement to teach students who speak a language other than English as a first language. At the core of my teaching style is my ability to create a supportive learning environment, strong organizational plan, and a setting in which...

...and helping people so I've decided to tutor in my spare time. I specialize in math tutoring as I was always the guy in high school and college helping out others in my class whose questions weren't answered or who just didn't get it during the lecture. My job as a structural designer involves lots of math, mainly trigonometry, and so it has kept me sharp and still able to do SAT math easily.... My teaching philosophy is that patience is the most important thing. If a student is not absorbing the material, one should never blame the student but should instead try a new approach to teaching the material, and keep trying until you find a good fit for the student.

...is to help students learn in the way they find most effective. If one way of explaining a topic does not work, I will try explaining it in another, more fitting, way. My hope is that through asking students questions about their work, they can better understand what is in front of them. I want to be a part of a student's learning process, and I believe I can be fitting addition to a student's...

...Instructor at a local Jacksonville high school. In the last 13 years, I have taught English I/Honors, English II/Honors, Reading, AP Lang, AP Lit, ENC1101, and ENC1102. I enjoy tutoring because of the one-on-one, focused instruction. My main purpose is to prepare every student for college and that starts at the elementary level; all of my methods and learning strategies work together in order to ensure that every student does learn what he/she needs to...

...I am very skilled at teaching both my colleagues and those younger than me. Around my middle school years, I found I have a knack for explaining abstract and difficult-to-understand topics. At which point, I began tutoring on a volunteer basis which later developed into a private tutoring business. I normally teach college courses as a Teaching Assistant at the University of South Florida Tampa campus, while I further my work on my dissertation (centered...

...15 years with students in small groups and individually. My primary subject of tutoring is in math, which I love. To me, there is no better feeling than seeing the light come on when a concept that was "too hard" becomes understandable to a student. I also love that students from past years will approach me in public and share their successes and thank me for the help I was able to give them.... I believe that everyone can have a deeper understanding of mathematical principles. I also believe that there is more than one way to solve any given problem. I do not believe that rote memorization of facts or processes is true learning. To that end, I talk with each student and ask questions to find out how each person thinks and how they best learn. I am then able to show them different techniques using their strengths to guide the lesson. I continue to check for understanding throughout the lesson to ensure that the process is working, and if not, I change direction. In this way, my instruction is personalized for each student.

I have been a classroom teacher for over 10 years, mainly in secondary classrooms. However, I have experience teaching and tutoring students from ages pre-school to adult. I love seeing the "light bulb" go on for a student when they discover a new concept or read a new piece of literature. ... My personal teaching philosophy is that all students can learn at high levels.... In a first session, I think it is important for the student and tutor to get to know each other. A personal connection goes a long way in promoting academic success.

...of my mind as I tutored fellow students in High School through the National Honor Society and achieved my Silver & Gold Awards in Girl Scouts by running my own reading camps for at risk youth in local community centers and installing libraries there and creating documentaries about the Holocaust which I toured to local schools. While at college, I worked at a local Tallahassee tutoring company, Solution Skills, where I continued to tutor in...

Hello! Next Fall, I will be a first-year graduate student. I will be pursuing a PhD in Social Psychology while conducting research on cultural diversity issues.

...high school as part of National Honor Society. I have experience tutoring elementary through high school. Most of my background is in math and science. Currently, I am most experienced with middle school math and SAT/ACT tutoring. I hope to add more subjects to my credentials as I further my own education, including Biology and Calculus. I myself love to learn, and nothing is more exciting than understanding a concept that you were previously struggling...
