Introduction: MY AVAILABILITY FOR TUTORING: Mondays through Fridays: 9am to 5pm Saturdays: 10am to 4 pm Hello! Thank you for visiting my Thumbtack page. My name is Flavia. I am a first to eight grade math tutor in Maitland, Longwood, Casselberry, Winter Springs and Winter Park. I have been tutoring for 7 years and teaching different subjects for more than 12 years. I began tutoring when I was a Ph.D. student at the University of Florida. I have tutored student athletes through UF's Teaching Center, as well as private students. I have also taught undergraduate classes at the University of Florida, worked as an Adjunct Professor at Seminole State College and City College, and worked for a tutoring firm for 1.5 years. I very much enjoy helping students learn math, and the one-on-one teaching environment that private lessons afford. I believe one-on-one tutoring is a great complement to class instruction and can make a big difference for students. Here are a few things that make me a successful tutor: 1. I am friendly, calm and patient. 2. I have the required knowledge. 3. I am respectful. 4. I communicate well with parents and students. 5. I have experience working with students of different ages. 6. I have many years of teaching experience. 7. Quality customer service is very important to me. 8. Children usually like working with me. Advantages of private tutoring: * One-on-one instruction to directly addresses your or your son's or daughter's questions. * Flexibility: Take classes when it is best for you and never miss a class. * Learn studying skills. * Develop discipline by taking the time to study with someone who can explain concepts and skills that you have not grasped yet. I look forward to working with you. If you have any questions regarding my tutoring, feel free to reach out to me. Flavia

I first contacted Flavia for assistance tutoring my daughter in math. Before this, she was struggling, feeling self conscious, and doubting her intelligence. Now her grades have gone up and she's proud of her performance. My daughter says that the way in which Flavia explains the lessons makes much more sense than the way it was explained in the classroom. We were so impressed with Flavia's teaching that we added on tutoring for my son as well! He has been wanting to learn Portuguese so that he can speak with his Brazilian friends at school. Flavia's lesson is fun and engaging. He's proud to be learning a second language. Now, we are planning to add a little extra tutoring time each week for FSA test prep. Flavia has been a a fantastic to work with. She has fostered self-confidence in my children and made learning enjoyable. I highly recommend her expertise.

Flavia has a passion for what she does. Her teaching skills are incomparable. She is AMAZING, patient, and looks for ways to bring the lesson of learning a new language (for me) or math techniques, as she also teaches my daughter in pre-algebra, to complete clarity and with ease. She is a Uniquely amazing teacher! Blessed to have found her. Thank you for all you do Flavia.

Great experience with tutoring math for my son in high school. Highly recommend as she was very courteous and very professional. She definitely helped him in math and would recommend again. She arrived on time and even answered email questions from my son. Thank you!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Factors that affect the quote: - Whether you come to my location or I go to yours. - How far you live. - Length of the tutoring session (better hourly rate for longer sessions -- 2 or more hours).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I began tutoring sections by checking what the student needs help with. I then explain the math that the student needs to learn and tips to finding the solution to math problems. After I explain, I let students try on their own to check if they have grasped the knowledge and skills to solve the math problems. If necessary, I explain again and provide more examples.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a private math tutor for 7 years. I do not have any math-related certifications. I got into math tutoring because math has been a subject that I have enjoyed since I was young.
