    Patient & Experienced Certified Math Teacher Grades 6-12/Algebra 1

    I have 10 years of experience teaching Algebra 1. My goal as a tutor is to help my students meet their maximum learning potential. I create personalized learning plans for each student to guide them to a deeper understanding of math concepts. I use different teaching methods to help students discover what their own learning style is. I also teach students valuable study skills that can help them thrive in math courses and academically in general. During tutoring sessions, I ensure students understand the concepts they are struggling with. I guide them through the solution process while also clearing any misconceptions they may have. This improves their confidence as a math learner and improves their academic performance. I have a genuine interest in students' education. It is extremely rewarding for me to see the learning process taking place before my eyes, of when a math concept doesn’t make sense to a student, to when they get to master it.

    About Michele U.

    Hello! My name is Michele. I am a Florida certified math teacher for grades 5-12. I have been teaching math for the past 12 years. I started as a math tutor at Miami Dade College in 2011 and a few months later, I became an Adjunct Math Instructor at the same college. While working there, I realized how much I enjoy helping students to learn, how much I love sharing my knowledge of math, and how much I am able to positively impact a student academically, so I decided to become a schoolteacher. I’ve had amazing experiences teaching math courses to middle school and high school students. Being a classroom teacher has been an extremely rewarding experience. This year, I made the decision to take a break from the school system to provide individualized math help to students. And I love it! My philosophy is that ALL students CAN learn. My goal is to help students meet their maximum learning potential and improve their confidence as a math learner.
