More About This Tutor...

Teaching has been my career ever since I entered a primary classroom at age 16 and finished teaching graduate and undergraduate students. I was trained as a teacher at The Leewards Teachers' Training College (in Antigua), an affiliate of University of the West Indies (Jamaica). As a Primary and Secondary School teacher, I taught English Grammar, Mathematics, and the Social Sciences. Although I have strong mathematical skills, I present myself here primarily as an English teacher, because of my expert facility with the grammar, usage, and vocabulary of the language. At my last graduate school (Vanderbilt U., Nashville, TN), I was employed by the Graduate Dept. of Religion as the Writing Tutor for graduate students who were preparing their term papers for professors. My assignment was to help students present papers free of grammatical errors and with correct stylistic composition, precise ... read more

English Comp, Sociology, History

You can expect my teaching style to be very interactive. I believe learning should not be done to you, but you should actively learn. Therefore, my approach is hands-on, not ears on!
I hold an MA in sociology with a minor in history. My primary focus in sociology is race and ethnicity, social theory, and political sociology. I am a current PhD student in history with a focus on European and Middle Eastern history. I also have over ten years experience teaching English language in the US and abroad.

"Knowledge is power & enthusiasm pulls the switch" -S. Droke

I have my A.A. degree in Theatre and Communications and will be receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing with a minor in Film Studies in December of 2012. I have experience with children ranging from grades K-12th. I have been a Teacher's Aide since 2004 and a Summer Counselor since 2006. I am also bilingual and although it is not on my list for tutor availability, I do have experience in the language barriers concerning English and the Spanish language. I am Cuban American and wouldn't trade that for the world. It allows me to enjoy the cultures around me as well as given me a thirst to explore new ones. I look forward to helping someone else do that same!

My comments on tutoring Composition : I enjoy assisting others in the learning process and I am very patient. I have experience working with children/adults of varying ages.

Get to know me and let's discuss your needs.
I have worked with the following populations throughout the many years of professional experience: mental health patients - (children & adults), special needs, developmentally disabled, people with learning disabilities, those with ADD/ADHD, Children, Adolescents, and Adults of varying ages and skill sets. I know some sign language so I am able to communicate with others who have little to no hearing. I have worked within the schools and have experience aiding students. I am very flexible and willing to adjust for the needs of the student and meet them where they are in the learning process.

Super tutor!

I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Volunteer teaching English to children of war refugees.
I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledge in the humanities, and my liberal arts education has helped me develop high reading and writing skills. I have four years of experience running writing workshops and tutoring first-year college students and non-native English speakers in study skills. From these experiences, I have gained expert knowledge in teaching literacy and study skills. Also, from my time teaching at a public high school, I am very familiar with the types of expectations teachers have of students and can help students "crack the code" of multiple choice, short answer, and research assignments and tests.
My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly in ... read more

Tutoring By Sam! Core Studies Tutor with over 13 years Exp!

I gear my teaching style to the individual I am working with. In 14 years I have learned that even though a method may work for one student, it does not necessarily mean it will work for another. In the first few session I test a small variety of applicable teaching methods and adapt them as time goes on.
I have been working with students in both one-on-one and group settings for going on 14 years. I began tutoring groups of children at an inner city after school program in Language Arts and Reading Comprehension. I went into further training at my high school and became a designated math tutor for those in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry. After high school I revisted my loved for tutoring at Jefferson County Community College where I tutored Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Study Skills. Throughout the years I have tutored a variety of students in various areas through ... read more

Out with the old in with the new! Get a tutor today!

My experience has been primarily with children within my school or those around my neighborhood. I find that children are more capable of learning in a stable environment that they are familiar with. Children respond well with well timed incentives and subtle reprimands of lost focus. Students are more likely to acknowledge a lack of concentration skills once their intelligence is put into question. Under my tutoring students are able to concentrate more and see an improvement in their grades. Ill behaved children are more likely to round out their behavior once an appropriate hobby is acquired for them and holds their interests. All materials should be produced based on the individual child's rights.
Repetitious in manner.

I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them in a way that is most effective for the individual. I have a strong sense of academic excellence and try to instill the core values of diligence, focus, and perseverance on each student. I also try to make learning enjoyable by providing real world examples and reasons for why we need to learn what we are required to learn. Even though my educational background is in science and math, I place significant emphasis on the importance of having good English grammar, writing, and reading skills and being generally well-rounded academically.
I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentori ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach and share information with others giving them an opportunity to excel. My most profound technique is to apply things the student loves to do or hear about to expound upon knowledge that the student may not be as comfortable with or struggle with. I believe a firm education and a profound knowledge of the subjects presented will lead into successful practices that can be used in any aspect of life.
As a recent graduate of Florida State University, I have always been a student looking to excel in all subjects. My primary areas of expertise happen to be Math and English. I have always earned the highest averages on research papers and look to both expound upon this knowledge as well as share with others the techniques used to master the subjects of English and Math. I Graduated from Florida State University in April 2008 and was actually able to become gainfully em ... read more

I achieved an AA degree at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. I am currently continuing my education at Florida State University where I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Biology. I will graduate in Spring of 2010. After, I will continue to Dental School to become a dentist.
I enjoy teach with all different age levels. Most recently, I taught 4th grade science through the FSU Teach Program. It was fun and really showed me how to teach students and make the lessons engaging and fun. Its important to keep the child focused. My goal is to make sure a student learns something new everyday that she/he will remember.
