Introduction: Hello! My name is Johanna, and I am a math tutor. I have been tutoring for seven years! I tutor all levels of mathematics. I have tutored children in elementary all through high school. I also tutor students in college who take algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, geometry, statistics and calculus.
I am flexible in times and locations. I live in Pembroke Pines, FL, so I am able to tutor in this area. Starting August 22, 2011, I will be at FIU South Campus from Monday to Thursday, so if you are in the Miami Area, we can meet at or near FIU.
I am a hands-on tutor. My purpose is to help you learn the material, not do the work for you. I have tutored many students, and all who put the time and effort into the tutoring have excelled in their classes. I love when my students come to me with questions from homework they attempted. It shows commitment on the students' end, thus, I give my 100% to ensure that they get the best from me. So please, if we have the pleasure of meeting, bring questions!
I prefer students who want to meet on a regular basis (two to three times a week). The reason I prefer to meet regularly is because we get to build a relationship. I feel that when I have a relationship with the student, they are more comfortable asking questions and saying "I don't know" or "I don't understand" instead of saying "Yeah, I get it" when in reality they don't.
Also, I believe that getting help early and on a regular basis helps you long term and prepares you for important tests which results in doing well in your class.
I am a senior at FIU majoring in mathematics with a minor in criminal justice. My two favorite subjects in math are algebra and calculus. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am the vice-president of the math club at FIU, and I graduated from Pembroke Pines Charter High School in 2005.
