Jacksonville University

I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in sustainability from Jacksonville University, and then moved across the country to pursue a master's in environmental engineering. I am passionate about the opportunities education opens, and I love helping students succeed! I have tutored a variety of age ranges and skill levels, primarily in math. I enjoy taking a "goal oriented" approach to tutoring, in which the student and I can break down our main goal into smaller goals. My approach allows students to feel less overwhelmed, while giving them a foundation to begin solving problems themselves. There is no problem your student and I cannot tackle!

Q&A with Justina

I take a "goal oriented" approach in which the student and I establish our main goal, be it to solve the individual problem, or to prepare for a test, et cetera. From there, I work with the student to break down the main goal into smaller goals. By breaking down a big goal into smaller goals, students typically feel less overwhelmed, and reaching the small goals gives a feeling of accomplishment and confidence. Not only that, but my approach begins developing students' independent thinking of how to solve and work through problems on their own.
