North County Tutoring has been committed to developing young minds since 2006. It was founded by Nicole Keppel, a certified teacher in the state of Florida with a Bachelors degree in education. As a classroom teacher for six years, she saw many students in our schools needed extra help beyond the school day and decided that a community tutoring program was vital. Nicole left the classroom in 2005 and decided to use her knowledge and skills to work with individual or small group of students. Her career move to tutoring has been vastly rewarding as it has allowed her to see her students blossom right before her eyes.. Test Preparation We can develop successful skills and strategies for test taking that are appropriate for the FCAT. By completing practice test questions and materials that simulate the FCAT,the students are prepared when the test is presented to them. Homework Help Often homework becomes the parents problem and not the responsibility of the student. North County Tutoring eliminates that by helping students to complete daily and weekly homework. This time also allows the concepts being taught in class to be reinforced on an individual basis. Hearing it twice,and often in a different way,can help the student retain the subject matter better. Skill Building Multiplication facts,reading comprehension,etc are the building blocks of an education. Spending extra time learning these skills and facts instill self confidence and can give students an advantage in the classroom. Communication North County Tutoring works with parents,teachers,and other professionals as requested. M rs. Keppel can attend IEP meetings and conferences to support classroom instructors. Home School Lessons North County Tutoring offers home school students an hour and half session which includes a full lesson taught on a selected subject. We use the students text as well as other resources to teach new concepts to home school students.
