Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors in Jacksonville, FL

...second half of the semester. Throughout all of these experiences and opportunities and interactions with such a variety of subject matter, ages of students, and settings of instruction, I feel that I have found my niche within the world of education. Tutoring is where I feel most comfortable and where I want to be within education. Public education and classroom settings, in certain cases, do not offer the best environment for students to develop understanding...

...and expectations. Previously, I worked as a tutor in a tutoring lab, where I would tutor in an open lab hour-for-hour up to the number of credits we were teaching each term--in my case, eight hours. I've taught both high school and college students, and also tutored for a commercial tutoring company in the 90s. Old-school. When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I practice yoga; it doesn't feel right not to stretch for the day!

I have been a teacher for the past seven years and whether it be in front of a classroom or face to face, I strive to give my students a superior college preparatory education.

...a foundation for the work we do together. I also have high expectations and will push us both to work hard to achieve the student's immediate and long-term academic goals. I have experience teaching in a charter school in New England, an inner-city school in Boston, a private college preparatory school in Virginia, and a public school in Florida. All of those experiences with students have granted me deep insight into cultivating success. I am...

...Nova Southeastern University, my Master of Arts in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix, and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Marymount University. My passion is teaching and helping students and adult learners achieve academic, professional, and personal success through engaged innovative technology, lessons, and discussions. I have over 15 years of experience tutoring, teaching, coaching, and mentoring students and adult learners. My belief and motto is: "Preparing today's students to become tomorrow's leaders."

I believe every child can learn. I believe that as a teacher it is my job to find out how a child learns best and use their strengths in order for them to be successful.

I love to help others, especially when it comes to math. There is no one way to solve it, and there are no stupid questions. Math does make sense, let me show you how!

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,

...a positive experience. That means working with the student to get them on board *wanting* to learn the material for themselves, independent of requirements. One of my favorite ways to do this is to explore the student's passions and interests and then relate the material they need to learn to something they love. In other cases, a positive experience requires eliminating frustration and/or fear of failure. I've always been a successful student, but my efforts...

...it is a chance to see others excel and also experience that moment the "light bulb" turns on! I personally believe everyone can learn anything as long as they put their mind to it. A skill is just a skill and it can either be mastered or left in frustration and confusion. Studying should be looked upon as an opportunity and not taken for granted. Practice makes perfect and yes, you can perfect every single...

...graduate with my A.A. degree. In my freshman year, I got a job opportunity as a math tutor at my college. I have been tutoring math for 2 years since then. My job was majorly staying in the class and helping students who need help; I was an assistant to the professor. I loved it so much that I wanted to continue gaining new tutoring experiences. In the fall of 2016, I will be transferring...

...Logistics. I then taught several years of middle school Language Arts/Reading and Math. I am state certified in several different areas and have years of experience with private and virtual academic tutoring. It is of my character to always put forth exceptional effort and to always go above and beyond what I am challenged to do. I am a hard working, dedicated, and creative individual who is passionate about helping students reach their full potential.

...tutoring at Florida State College of Jacksonville. I loved working individually with students, helping them learn how to better understand the material themselves. I have taught and tutored middle school, high school, and college aged students. Most of my experience is in the life sciences (Biology, Environmental Science, ect), but I have experience with tutoring Chemistry and math through Algebra 2. I love sharing my passion for the sciences with students! I enjoy reading and...

...in the educational field from elementary, middle, and high school to undergraduate and graduate courses. I understand that learning process and can help students make learning applicable to their daily lives to grasp concepts and be life long learners. I am able to assist with any subjects up through middle school and high school reading, English, test-Prep, and writing. I have BS in Sport Management, an MS in Physical Education, MS in Educational Leadership, and...

...Sometimes students need assistance tailored to their specific needs and situations that regular classes cannot provide, and so one of my greatest joys tutoring is being able to give one-on-one, specialized help and the little extra push that they need to help them shine. My mother is a former teacher and so from a very young age I've always been drawn to education, and my love for tutoring is just one manifestation of that. I'm...

...I can teach topics many different ways. My passion is teaching math because it's so underrated 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...

...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 fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, and vocabulary. I believe reading is the foundation...

...J.U. in the reading lab tutoring children as well as adults who struggled with reading during my undergraduate studies. Upon graduation I began teaching elementary aged students in all academic areas and just completed my 29th year in the classroom. Along the way I earned a Masters Degree in Elementary Education and began my Specialist Degree. I have been lucky to have tutored students in small groups and one-on-one. My philosophy on teaching and learning...

...is important to them and have fun while doing it. I graduated from high school with honors and was able to receive the Gates Millennium scholarship. I received my degree in Psychology from Duke University in 2016. I recently received my admissions letter from Columbia University where I will be studying sociology and education in the fall. I worked really hard to achieve academic excellence and will continue to do so in my next venture....

...time I am able to spend more time with my hobbies: crossfit, insect collection and display, reading, and spending time with my dogs. I enjoy tutoring in both math and science because of the challenges they present; I believe that the greater the challenge the more the reward the student will receive out the experience. Through tutoring I like to equip students with the necessary tools, understanding, and confidence to overcome these challenging areas.... My approach to tutoring is to provide students with the tools they need to succeed, and to show them how to properly use these tools.
