College Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alachua, FL

I try to find unique and fun ways to explain difficult concepts. I do this with many different techniques, including visual aids. I'm very patient and will find new ways to explain a concept until it is mastered. I have been tutoring since my Sophomore year of high school. I have experience tutoring elementary, middle, high school, and college students in Science, Math, English and History. I am really passionate about helping others succeed academically, because I know first hand how much work is required if you want to master tough concepts!

I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004 with a major in philosophy and a minor in geology. My overall GPA was 3.674/4.000. I enjoy using both sides of my brain, so to speak. Through philosophy, I mastered formalities of the English language and developed an aptitude for critical and logical thinking. Through geology, I focused on the practical through the application of mathematical and scientific concepts. I have tutored students in math, English, and the sciences. There is no subject area I can't tackle! I enjoy helping others understand concepts that they are struggling with. It is very gratifying when a student has that "a ha" moment. I am a little strict with instruction. If a student is not paying attention or has not completed an assignment that I've asked him/her to do, I will not overlook it. I think that, in the interest of the end goal of improving grades, it's a

I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the time I do a lot of question/conversation responses to allow them to find the answer for themselves. I like a problem based learning style, even for the youngest of children. I not only want to teach them how to properly concur their learning material but how to find the information they need if they do not know the answer. Additionally, I want them to have fun and enjoy quality time with a supportive mentor and gain an enthusiasm for school. I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with children. Es

Being a Ph.D. candidate and appointed research assistant, I very much realize the importance of true comprehension of a subject. Not only do I hold two B.S. degrees in Applied Mathematics and Chemical Engineering but I also carry credits to the equivalent of a Non-Thesis Masters in Applied Mathematics and am one course shy of a minor in Chemistry. I have tutored groups of students for Sylvan Learning Centers, conducted one-on-one sessions with Educational Enrichment and independently, and prepared and delivered lectures for advanced undergraduate chemical engineering courses. I am capable and experienced in tutoring all levels of mathematics, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics and materials science. I am a very enthusiastic tutor and, as I stated in the previous section, believe teaching in such a way that the student gains a true mastery of the given subject. In a sense, I bel

As a former student and professional athlete, I am a very self-motivated person. From the University of Florida I earned a B.A. in History and a Minor in Education. Last year, I worked in the classroom as a substitute teacher on all three major levels of grade school education. In addition, I have been a supervisor and counselor at various camps which require long hours and spendig individual time with children. I love teaching and working with children. I believe good communication is what makes life efficient. In my mind, good communication requires a positive, instructive, and detail manner. A better future requires a better education now, and how we pursue it is vital. Education empowers a mind, attitude empowers a lifestyle.

I am a student at the University of Florida and am confident in my ability to provide an excellent education. I have some experience in tutoring children in reading and basic math, and have been a "Big Sister" type figure. I excel in writing, grammar, and the Spanish language, and have experience with Advanced Placement (AP) style essays, technical writing, philosophy papers, speeches, general essays, and essays in Spanish. I am efficient in basic algebra, geometry and science, and have studied AP Calculus and chemistry. I also studied piano for seven years, and am currently learning to play the guitar. I love helping and teaching children, and am eager for the opportunity to encourage learning. I am patient and sensitive, and understand that each student has a different approach to learning. I also understand that for many, learning can be frustrating and discouraging, but I am eag

My teaching style is largely based on my learning style. I am a very fast learner and I decipher the big picture and the essential concepts of a subject or problem before looking into the details. While in business college, I am constantly tutoring fellow classmates and peers. Tutoring is very rewarding to me because I can be a part of each student's success.

I believe the best way to get ideas across to students and to help them become tangible, is to engage as many of the senses as possible. I realize every student has unique necessities when it comes to understanding different subjects, but I have found that the best way to teach is to create curiosity about the topic being taught and to apply the learning to real life. I use diagrams and real life stories that engage the curiosity of the student. I am patient and meticulous when teaching and make sure the student understands a matter before moving on to something more advanced. Teaching is more than drilling facts, principles, and formulas into the students. It is also giving them the tools necessary to perform critical thinking and conduct research on their own. In 2005, I earned a Master of Science in Animal Sciences from the University of Florida. I have done a lot of research and am p

A great benefit to teaching so many Biology labs was working with the professors to accomadate their lecture material and create a hands-on application for my students. I found this a wonderful opportunity to take a lot of information and to synthesize it in such a fashion that students could understand a complex process in a simple way. For example, visual demostrations were a favorite of mine, where you could see the light of 'understanding' in my student's eyes. In addition, I'm always very clear on what are the expectations for exams and pop quizzes, so that studying can be more focused. While earning my PhD in Biology, it was a requirement that I teach at least 3 Biology labs each semester. I focused on labs for Biology majors, so that I've mastered the foundation material so well, I can repeat it in my sleep! In addition, my supervision of undergraduate researchers in my lab was a

I love being able to give other students the passion that I have for learning and understanding something new. During my undergraduate work in psychology and training to be a tutor, I learned the different types of learning styles and how to test for them. I use this technique with every student I work with, so that I can teach to their form of learning. I believe that children learn best through practical application and hands on activities that help them better understand what we discuss and work on. All children are capable of learning and excelling, once they understand how they learn best. I strive to instill in every child a feeling of pride and self-esteem in their studies. From a young age, I greatly enjoyed school and excelling in all that I put my mind to. To this end, I have earned a BS in Psychology and a minor in biology, both with Honors, and am applying to continue m

I love helping people learn. I like to find a way that helps them remember things, which sometimes mean making a game out of studing. Studying has to be funin order for someone to get anything out of it. I have recently earned my BA degree from the University of Florida in the field of Health Science. I have future plans to go to graduate school to become a Physicians Assistant, which will take me 2 years to complete once I get accepted. I am in the process of finishing my application now. I have great study habits seeing as I graduated with honors from UF.

I have specialized in middle school and high school tutoring in the areas of; Earth Science, Physical Science, Anatomy, Biology, World History, American History, and Social Studies for five years. I am currently in college for my BA in secondary education for high school history. I have tutored people as young as 8 years of age and as old as 42 years of age. I feel I am greatly qualified for a tutoring position in any of the above mentioned areas. I use several different forms of teaching that cant be placed in to one description. I find it to be more effective if i allow the students to show me something they are pationate about wether it be money, candy, heros, anything. I enjoy not being limited to one form of understanding for a subject and being able to find a new way to teach it.

I have earned a Bachelor degree in Biology. I have a year of mentoring children in middle school I am currently working on an alternative program to obtain my teaching certification. I will obtain my teaching certificate by summer 2010. During my mentoring, I helped students with Math & Science. I have learned extensive grammatical skills through class presentations & writing research papers. I believe all children can reach their highest potential. I love teaching & working to teach all children. I am very patient & want my students to discover the answers on their own with my assistance. I don't think giving the answers helps the children, but to guide them in the right direction to the answer. I want to make a difference in childrens' lives & prepare them for college or the workplace in the future. I want to help your child achieve academic success!
