Mary Rebecca

Bachelors, Social Sciences

Jacksonville University

I am an enthusiastic tutor with a passion for teaching. I am a 2013 graduate of Jacksonville University, where I earned a bachelor's of social sciences. I have work experience as a group instructor for reading and mathematics with students who were behind grade level in elementary and middle school and also as a substitute teacher for middle and high school students. I have over 150 classroom hours as a teaching intern in a high school history class at Atlantic Coast High School. I have tutored for over 5 years. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my son, my dog and my two cats, and listening to music.

Q&A with Mary

I believe that there is more to the purpose of education than the obvious. Socialization and the acquisition of knowledge are important, but I think that another important aspect of education often goes overlooked: to create a love of learning. I hope that through teaching I can instill in children a passion for learning and for thinking critically on matters, so that they approach the world as strong, independent-minded adults with a thirst for truth and understanding.
