Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors in Jacksonville, FL

...Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, and am familiar with the latest formats, question varieties, and scoring guidelines of these standardized tests, along with the SAT. My teaching philosophy is to go beyond "teaching to the test". Although test-taking skills are crucial for any assessment, I believe the most valuable thing a tutor can do is to enhance and help develop conceptual understanding in our clients. I believe that once a student understands something...

Tutoring is where I feel most comfortable and where I want to be within...

...focusing on helping children with learning difficulties and disabilities. I have particular experience working with children with dyslexia. I can help with reading comprehension, fluency, and spelling. I use symbol imagery for phonological and orthographic processing to help the student "picture" what they are reading and spelling. I have been helping children read for 7 years. I have also worked as a substitute teacher for Duval County Schools. I really enjoy tutoring elementary math, reading...

...Math and the Algebra concepts that haunt so many students are what became engraved in my brain over the years somehow. My business card reads, "Do you hate Algebra? Well, I love it!" And it's not just my ability to teach the subject matter. I have a lovable personality that many seem to gravitate to! I explain problems in their simplest form making grasping the concepts super easy. Outside of tutoring, I am a married...

...such as at Lehman College, learning centers or private one-to-one sessions. It has been an inspiration in that I have discovered ideas and a way of thinking which I didnt know. In my own time, I enjoy travelling, reading, listening music and swimming. I work as a school business administrator full time and teach math part time to the kids. I love working with young people and seeing their minds and mathematical ability develop. I...

...decided to tutor. I want to help others who are in my situation: students who are made to feel that because they learn differently they have a problem. As a teacher, I believe it is important to make sure students feel confident when doing their work. It is now my job in the role as teacher to make sure no child feels what I felt... alone. For me, becoming a tutor is much more than...

...medicine after taking my first anatomy class in high school. I was absolutely intrigued by the human body, and I knew that because I loved medicine, I would strive to encompass myself in my work. My junior year of college was when my elective biology classes became more relevant to medicine I took a range of classes from immunology to genetics and as many anatomy classes as I could find, including human, comparative, and vertebrate....

...Elementary Education from The Florida State University in 2009. In addition to my role as a classroom teacher, I have worked as an online and after-school tutor. Everyone talks about the "new math" that is being taught in the classrooms today, but I don't look at it as new math. Instead, I see it as the same math, just in a new way of thinking. I love asking students the "why" and "how" questions to...

...my students develop their skills over time and improve their mastery of math on a daily basis. As I value students' education, I believe in a student-centered style of teaching--partly because students love to take ownership of their own learning, but also because putting students in control of their education enables them to remember information readily. Through this approach, they develop thinking skills by doing tasks independently or in small groups. They are also given...

...an older sibling for most of my life. From personal experience from the point of view of both a teacher and a student, learning is not always a straightforward process. Teaching plans should be compatible with individual students, taking into account their goals, needs, and learning styles. For example, I personally like to incorporate secondary lines of reasoning. When learning words, I look at roots, when learning theorems, I study proofs, and when learning mechanisms,...

...field of software engineering. My primary focus in teaching is CS-related: Computer Programming (C/C++/C#, Java, Python, Visual Basic), Web Development (ASP, HTML, JavaScript, PHP), and Data Structures. My secondary focus is Math-related: Remedial/Elementary Mathematics, Geometry, Beginner/Intermediate/College Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. My teaching style is adaptive. Being a student myself, I know that each student learns differently and has different needs. My goal when teaching is not just to help you pass a quiz, exam, or course; it...

...for how creative and invigorating it can really be. I tend to spend just as much time giving my students confidence as I do actually teaching them. I have found that without doing this, most students will understand everything, but they will retain nothing. So in the end, it doesn't help them to sit through all the tutoring and put forth all the effort unless they are confident that they can do the work on...

...all students can learn and with support they can be successful. I teach at a school where we put special emphasis on learning through technology, and teach kids how to productively use Google Docs, iPads, and laptops to their advantage. I have always enjoyed teaching and I know this is a special calling because I am never tired of working with children. I feel that I am also a motivator, because students tend to want...

Hello! My name is Frederick, I'm an engineering student at UNF. I'm a math and science tutor and would love to help a student who is ready to learn.... My teaching philosophy is if you can raise a student’s confidence with a lesson, it’s more helpful than anything else is. I've struggled over the years with certain subjects and can completely understand what it’s like to be a frustrated student. I want to try and show...

Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing the look on a student's face when he/she has just grasped a difficult concept.... My teaching philosophy is difficult concepts are merely combinations of simple concepts. If you show a student that all the pieces are straightforward, they broaden their horizons and reach great heights.... In a first session with a new student, I would find out what interests them so I can draw analogies from that area. I...

I've taught both high school and college students, and also tutored for a commercial tutoring company in the 90s....
