Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors in Jacksonville, FL

While studying for my masters degree in mathematical sciences, I taught my own elementary statistics course. I was also an assistant teacher for calculus, college algebra, and various other college-level math courses. I love math, but I also realize that not every student feels the same way I do. My goal as a teacher is to make learning math and statistics as painless as possible!

I graduated from LSUS in 1985 and have worked with computers for the last 25 years. I tested under the State of Florida qualifications to obtain teaching certifications for Junior High and High School Math, History, and Computer Science. I have tutored the subjects of Chemistry, World History, American History, History, Algebra I, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, and Algebra II. I can explain the concepts very clearly in simple to understand language.... Try to explain difficult concepts in easy to understand English, and show the student when and how to use those concepts.

...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 know...

...a personal GitHub repository showcasing my portfolio of programming projects. Technology, engineering, computers, and their underlying mathematics/sciences are my life's passion. After graduating from UNF, my goal is to secure a position in the 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...

...I meet the student where they are and cater tutoring sessions to individual learning styles. Whether you're a visual learner or someone who learns best by understanding theory, I will accommodate it all! All written lessons are customized for the individual student, and extra care is given to a student's weak areas. Nothing is more gratifying than helping the "light come on" for a student having difficulty understanding a challenging topic or concept. I look...

...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.

...experience includes mentoring in both group and one-on-one settings. While most of my teaching has been done with my students of similar age, I would be comfortable with younger students as well, having been 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...

I currently teach Algebra and Geometry at a private high school for students with learning differences in Jacksonville, FL. I enjoy their light bulb moments and seeing them succeed where they had not before. I look forward to meeting more students and bringing them to their light bulb moments.

I have been taking upper-level math and science classes at the University of North Florida for some time. I have about 33 credits remaining for a bachelor's degree with a concentration in general physics and a minor in mathematics. I hope to simplify matters that might seem complicated. Many times complex concepts are best mastered in a step-by-step fashion. This approach demands patience, however, it usually ends in a cumulative understanding of these principal concepts.

...while attending school full time, so I understand that many times students are trying to juggle school with various other activities. I am currently in the process of becoming an EMT to gain experience in the medical field to aid me in becoming a physicians assistant. Now that I find myself with more free time I am able to spend more time with my hobbies: crossfit, insect collection and display, reading, and spending time with...
