More About This Tutor...

I am patient, compassionate, and simple. I do not believe in complicating things or trying to talk over someone. My first goal is to learn the student, where are they mentally and how are they motivated. These are questions I seek to answer so that I can provide a teaching method which will better suit them. I like to make teaching fun. Learning is much easier when the student believes that the teacher is accepting and on their side. That is my goal. No judge zone! Simply breaking down the educational material into bite size nuggets which students can digest and retain the nutrients.

I consider myself a very practical and patient person. I believe in setting realistic goals for children and when they meet them, celebrate it wholeheartedly. We need to reinforce and support our children in a constructive manner. I believe in being practical when teaching children. They connect better when they can relate to the topic. Most of my teachers were wonderful people that found a way to connect with me. Those that did experience a wonderful and fulfilling payback which was seeing their students improve their skills and become more confident. It’s an unbelievable feeling when you know that your support impacted a child positively and that child has grown up to be a kind and wonderful human being.
My entire education came from public schools. I was blessed because I had supportive parents and wonderful teachers that shared their knowledge with me. These teachers w ... read more

My BA degree is in Business Administration. I worked as an accountant and a paralegal before becoming certfied to teach. I have strong math skills and am currently tutoring a freshman in Algebra. My Florida certification covers grades K-6. As a kindergarten teacher, I was one of two teachers out of eight that was able to get my entire class on grade level by midyear according to the DIBELS standards. My experience as a paralegal focused on my writing skills. I was often consulted for my grammar and vocabulary knowledge.
I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe education is very important and all children have the ability to learn. All children just need that extra push to take them to that next level. I am that person. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I believe in bringing new and exciting ways to learn and catch and keep children attention and interest. I am available to help your child succeed in their learning.
I just recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BS in Legal Studies and a minor in Sociology. While earning my degree I have retained many valuable skills such as writing, grammatical, and researching skills. I have a good understanding of math as well. My past experience with Big Brother Big Sister I worked as a mentor for elementary school girls where I tutored them in all subjects and found new ways to make learning a fun experience.

I believe that my teaching style can be described as a patient mentor that is eager to share knowledge and provide a broad understanding of the importance of the material at hand. I am open to all different kinds of learning and enjoy working with different types of personalities. I am consciously aware that children are the future and hope to influence them in positive ways. In addition, I am also open to tutoring adults in a broad range of subjects including computer skills, business concepts, and the social sciences.

I am generally flexible, seeking to find what works best for a particular student. My wife and I once hosted a French teenager with the understanding that I would teach him a series of English lessons during his stay. It quickly became apparent that his language skills far exceeded the pre-planned lessons, so I instead developed new lessons on the fly. I try to make sure my students thoroughly understand the central concepts of a subject by showing them how it works and why it matters. After they have that grasp, I try to move on to less important but more entertaining areas. This method helps the student to care about a subject, and want to continue to learn after our relationship ends.
I have worked as a substitute teacher in a wide variety of subject areas, and have volunteered as a tutor for some time. However, since beginning a PhD program at UF I have done neither. Though mo ... read more

I like to adapt my teaching style to the the student. Every student learns differently, and I try to relate the information to the student based on their learning style rather than my teaching style.
I graduated high school with a 5.4 GPA and AP credits. I graduated University of Florida with a 4.0 GPA, a minor, and with honors. I have many years of experience tutoring other students. I am very good at school work as shown by my GPA.

I have taught as a Teaching Associate at the University of Florida since 2006, when I was admitted to candidacy. Before that I taught as a Teaching Assistant at U.F. I met one-on-one with students throughout this experience to advise or tutor them when extra help was needed. I also taught at the middle and high school levels (history, art, and drama), so I am experienced in assisting students from age 12 through adulthood.
I use humor to bring the subject matter to life, and I help the student come to her/his own understanding through discussion of the course material, encouraging her/him to take an active role in learning. I am accustomed to working with students who believe that history is boring and/or challenging. I focus on major themes and relate the material to students' lives, rather than stressing rote memorization of dates and facts (although comprehension of reading m ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former Prosecutor and Judge, my experience is based on my daily professional life activities. The ability to read and write plays a major role in my success as a public servant. As an educator at a local community college for many years, I explained to the students the importance of reading and writing skills. Skills come with practice. In my many social science classes that I taught, the students, on a daily basis, practiced these skills. I taught them effective communication skills are simple and easy. I was named to "Who's Who of American College Educators." Further, I have developed several communication courses for the Office of Ohio Attorney General.
I enjoy teaching students how to succeed in life. My teaching philosophy is one of caring for the needs of the student. Each student is different, which requires individual attention to his/her needs. I communicat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I really enjoy teaching all ages. From my background in coaching young children how to swim I've become well adjusted to dealing with difficult situatioins in a learning environment. However, I always want to provide my students with the best learning environment possible. I'm extremely patient and I believe that a teacher should be willing to do whatever is possible to help their students understand the material and learn.
I graduated from Davidson College with a major in economics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of both math and social science. I tutored during my junior and senior years in North Carolina and I've also done private tutoring in Gainesville. In addition, I coached 4-12 year olds how to swim. If I can teach 4 year olds who are screaming and kicking how to swim I can teach someone math or ecnomoics.
