Introduction

Welcome to my Thumbtack page! My name is Flavia Leite. I am a math tutor that specializes in teaching children from first to eighth grade. I began tutoring when I was a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Florida. I have been tutoring for 8 years. I 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 classroom and home-schooling instruction and can make a huge difference for students. Here are a few things that help me be an excellent tutor: 1. Expert math knowledge 2. I am friendly and patient. 3. I communicate well with parents and students. 4. I have experience working with students of different ages. 5. Quality customer service is very important to me. AVAILABILITY: I am usually available to tutor from 9 am to 6pm during the week, and from 10 am to 4 pm on the weekend. I can go to your house, we can meet in a public place such as a library or a coffee shop, or you can come to my location. Advantages of private tutoring: * One-on-one instruction that directly addresses learning challenges. * 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. If you have any questions regarding my tutoring, feel free to reach out. I look forward to working with you.

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.

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 begin tutoring by checking what the students need help with. I then provide step-by-step instructions on how to solve the math problem. Next, I explain whether there are different ways to find the solution to math problems and how to evaluate the plausibility of the answers. I then let students try solving math problems on their own, which allows me to check their understanding of the content. 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 started to tutor math because math has been my favorite subject since third grade, and because I enjoy teaching.
