Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I &

During my year as an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Earth Ethics Institute, a non-profit organization at Miami Dade College, I was responsible for the successful execution of five high-profile programs. I strengthened my ability to multitask and was able to effectively implement each program’s components at their full potential and capabilities. I became accustomed to working independently under strict deadlines and overseeing many service-learning college students who assisted with events. As many of these service-learners regarded me as a role-model, I committed myself to bringing out their full potentials while mentoring them through their college experiences. I was considered the unofficial technological assistant of my workplace due to my proficiency at Microsoft Office and my ability to work at an exceedingly fast pace. In addition to this, my co-workers often request that I overvie

I am an Elementary Education Major at the University of Florida and have helped many students succeed in all subject areas, with a strong focus on Elementary Education. Some subjects that I particularly tutor in include: math, science, english, social studies, and language arts. I also supply a student with supplemental material I feel will help them learn better and at their own, individual pace. For instance, I believe that some students may learn better through visual exercises, and them others may learn through auditory (hearing) exercises. Either way, I try to figure out what a students learning style is and work on that with a student.

My style of teaching varies from each student that I have ever had the joy of tutoring. I take my own studying skills which involve both visual and hands-on approaches and see how well it is a fit for the person I am tutoring. I know that sometimes it takes a lot of patience to grasp certain concepts or ideas, and that is a virtue that I possess. I do make the learning experience a fun one by relating it to every day life and creating activities that relay the information that is important to the student. I have always had a passion for education whether it be while obtaining my degrees, or helping out other students with their studies. I have earned an Associate in Arts in Liberal Arts, which gave me an opportunity to be a well-rounded student. I have earned my Bachelor's in Biology allowing a strong understanding of math and science skills. I have tutored students in Algebra, Biol

As a psychologist I understand what it takes to transfer information and get it to "stick" in our central nervous system (brain). After understanding some things about the person I would be tutoring I would then develop a plan to present information to them (in a multimodal manner)that would easily associate with their particular "past environment." The material would be usually presented in a highly visual manner augmented with auditory and some hands-on instruction. I instructed middle school and high school students for over 12 years before I became certified as a school psychologist in 1998. I have subsequently instructed at the college level since 1998 in the areas of psychology and teacher education. I am a tenured Full Professor. I also continue to complete psychological evaluations for our college's students through our Student Disabilities Service Office.

I believe each child learns in their own way. It is the job of the instructor to facilitate the child's learning. Patience is key and a comfortable pace. I currently hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Florida A & M University and hold a valid Letter of Eligibility for teacher certification. My teaching experience includes working as an ESE Aide, high school substitute and tutor in Alachua and Orange County. For the past year I have been working with students with disabilities. I am very enthusiastic about working with students in an education setting. My experiences in the classroom and educational background have provided the skills I may use in helping students reach high levels of achievement. I have a great deal of interest in helping students in school activities, testing, learning skills and assisting to make the school a safe learning environment. Furthermor

I have a undergraduate degree in Biology with emphasis in chemistry and environmental science. I earned a Masters in Environmental Science. I am currently taking courses in forensic science and writing. I also have taken education courses from Brigham Young University in Education Psychology and Counseling. I have excellent computer skills in a wide range of programs including Macintosh. I am a extensive reader so have knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Teaching is one of the greatest gifts to give a child at any age. I have been given a great opportunity to teach many children a different grade levels. I believe given children the necessary tools to self discovery. This gives the child confidence knowing he or she accomplished this on their own.

During my senior year of high school, I took four advanced placement classes to prepare for college. I was always the one who would help other students in my classes even into college. I graduated college and worked for four years. This helped me learn more about report writing and even helping people understand things that were out of their element. I enjoy helping people and sharing my understanding of learning. I am patient, relentless, very mellow, and extremely nice. I will make certain the subject is understood whatever it takes. I am imaginative which allows me to develop very and many different ways of explaining things. I know that anybody can understand something if they get the right help.

I have over 20 years experience teaching mathematics at the community college and university levels. I have also worked as a tutor at the Mathematics Laboratory and the Academic Success Center for Okaloosa-Walton Community College. I have worked as a private tutor on numerous occasions in the past. Most recently, I worked as a tutor for a private school in the Dominican Republic where I tutored eleventh graders in pre-Calculus. From my own experiences as a student I have come to the opinion that the most valuable educational accomplishment one can achieve is to “learn how to learn”. This seems to be a state of mind, an epiphany if you will, which hopefully will be realized at some point in the course of an individual’s intellectual development. Such a state of mind is not usually due to the efforts of a particular instructor, nor is it the result of having taken a certain class. Rather

I started my career as an Electrical Engineer working for the Catholic Diocese in St. Louis, Missouri. As part of my requirements, I was asked to teach technology workshops to the Nuns and Brothers at the different Houses throughout the Metro St. Louis area. In so doing, I was encouraged to go back to college and secure a degree in Education; I was told I had a gift for teaching. As such, I now hold a BEd in Elementary Education and Special Education Mild/Moderate Disabilities. I also hold a Masters Degree in Educational Technology and a PhD in Learning Theory & Design. I have taught Middle School Special Education for 6 years and worked as a University Professor for 8 years. I believe that authentic learning experiences are the most powerful. Each of us learns differently and for different reasons and we all have disabilities; some are just easier to see than others. Any true learn

In 2001 I graduated from Coastal Carolina University with two bachelor degrees, BS in Marine Science and BS in Environmental Science. Both of these degrees required extensive studies in both math and science. While in college I tutored fellow students in science, math and English. I also was a teacher/tutor for two home schooled students in the 2005-2006 school year. I really enjoy working with kids and helping them succeed. I am a firm believer that every child has the potential to be a great student. My teaching style is very interactive. I believe you learn more if you are involved in the process. Being the oldest of five children has given me the skills to be a great tutor. I am patient, a good listener and most of all laid back and fun.
