Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Duval County, FL

...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.

...quite lonely now without them around. My degrees are in Biblical Studies, I hold a Masters of Divinity degree as well and have been working with students for over 25 years in school and church settings. My goal as a teacher and tutor is to help students understand that we all learn differently and that is "okay", we just need to discover which way that is and focus our attention that way.... Every student has the ability to learn if pushed properly. I believe that in order for that student to move forward, one needs to find out what makes that student "tick" and use that to the student’s advantage. Since we all have different learning styles, I believe that they should be taught to their individual strengths. When concepts are broken down into manageable chunks for the student they will be successful. Once they experience success they will start to have confidence in themselves and desire to learn more.

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 just a job. It is my mission to make sure at the end of each session my students feel they can do it. I...

During my experience in education, the most rewarding experiences I have had were helping others reach their "lightbulb" moment of understanding a concept that once gave them trouble. I hope to help inspire and cultivate improvement in scholastic achievements and teach the methods to get there,
