Javon

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Florida and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law Texas Southern University. As an undergraduate, I majored in History, focusing on African History, and in law school, I focused on legal writing and analysis.

I value the importance of good quality education as I'm a living testimony of how it can open doors of incredible opportunity in life.

Since graduation, I have worked as a legal professional covering multiple areas of law and as a public-school teacher. I decided to make the unusual transition from law to teaching because I felt called to make more of a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Sure enough, I discovered my gift and passion in education as I inspired and empowered students in the classroomencouraging them to become the best they could be despite their shortcomings in the past.

My love for teaching revealed a whole new world and helped me to realize that I had always been an influential teacher in one form or another. For example, in high school, I commonly taught and tutored my peers who had a tough time digesting the information as delivered by the teacher. I discovered that I had a particular ability to make complicated concepts relatable and, therefore, easier to understand.

I believe that a real teacher (one called to teach) fundamentally can teach anything. Therefore, I teach and tutor a wide range of subjects. However, I especially enjoy History, English, and the Social Sciences. Also, my legal education has significantly assisted in my ability to teach, among other types, persuasive writing, critical thinking, and reading comprehension.
