Seeds of Knowledge Tutoring

Mission:

I specialize in making concepts clear and meaningful by adapting my tutoring to each student's individual learning style. I use many hands-on materials and provide concise notes pages to give the learner the tools to be able remember and apply the material we have worked on.

I tailor the tutoring to each learner's experiences. A first-grader learning to read, a middle-school student struggling with algebra, a high-schooler preparing for SAT's, and an adult learner heading back to college have very different needs. What makes me unique is that I meet each and every student at HIS / HER own level.

I have been incorporated as Seeds of Knowledge Tutoring, LLC since 2009, and have worked with over 500 clients, ranging from preschool through adult. I tutor in my home, in Palm Harbor (off Tampa Rd., near Belcher). I have converted the front part of my home into a tutoring studio, where I provide a quiet, distraction-free, positive learning environment with many hands-on materials and other resources.

I see clients six days/week (Sun - Fri), and have appointments available from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. I offer sessions that are 1, 1.5, or 2 hours in length. Fees range from $40 to $55 per hour, depending on the length of the sessions and the type of payment plan you choose (Pay as You Go or Discount Packs)
