About Stephen

My job as an upper elementary/middle school math teacher allowes me to come alongside struggling students and walk them toward those "Ah-Ha" moments where concepts move from being misunderstood to understood, building a strong, solid foundation upon which to build.

The part of my job that I enjoy the most is witnessing the light-bulbs go off. Student acheivement which gives way to confidence which produces success.

Every student seeking tutoring is different.  They all have different goals and needs.  

I ask a lot of questions to help determine the needs.  

If students are simply needing help with homework, I can provide that.

If students are struggling with certain topics or standards, I can help with that.  

Perhaps, there is a big test coming up ... based on the need, individual lessons/tutoring sessions can be tailored to meet the desired need.  



I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from Liberty University and experience as a 6th Grade Middle School Math teacher.  

I also have over 15 years experience working with Middle School,  High School and College-age students.

I find that learning takes place best when there is an established relationship.  I like to get to know my students and allow my students to get to know me.  There has to be a level of trust between teacher and student.  

In having conversations, I am able to get to know what kind of educational strategies students respond to best.  



I have worked with a variety of students.  From gifted students to students with with special needs and learning difficulties.  



Not all tutors are a good fit!  Be picky about who you choose to help you "get" math.  

Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions, don't be afraid to try new strategies and methods.  

Also, don't be afraid to move on if it's not working out.



I am fond of my families recent move to Florida.  Having just returned to the classroom in the 2021-2022 school year in Virginia, I was afraid that I would be looked over in the hiring process in Seminole County.

However, at a job fair this past spring ... I had 6 job offers from 6 different Middle Schools.  That was a fond event that was definate confidence booster! 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
You will want to know some of the strategies that the teachers use to achieve success.

What type of tools does the teacher use?

How is success going to be measured?  Is it going to be passing a test?  Completing HW or a project? Grades going up?
