I have 20 years experience in the marines, so I have a no nonsense approach to teaching and tutoring. My own two children (boys, now grown) will tell you that despite my military bearing, I am patient and understanding with kids. I believe the best way to teach children (or anyone) is to create the conditions that will encourage and allow them to teach themselves. I believe that adults model for children continuously. Children mimic our thought processes and our problem solving techniques. We teach best through example. My goal has always been to give children the tools and self-confidence to think and explore for themselves. I model self-confidence and creative problem solving. I encourage kids to ask questions and develop the skills for finding the answers. I mentor as much as I tutor. I have always excelled in school. My master's degree GPA is 3.8. my undergraduate degree GPA is 3.85.

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, mentoring, an

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 employed with a Fortune 400 organization to gain experience in Coporate Accounting and Finance for 2 years. I am able to apply knowledge I received from FSU to REAL WORLD Scenarios. 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

I have been in the teaching field for 2 years now and I love it. Although I've taught during VBS and other church functions, I have been in the Gadsden County School District for 2 years. I enjoy teaching. It is my passion. I believe that all children can learn with the guided instruction, love, and attention. I have taught in the Elementary filed until the recent budget cuts. I have a temporary certificate that doesn't expire until 2009, but I'm not giving up hope. I only have one more test to take to receive my permanent and I'm not giving up the fight. In the classroom is where I belong! As stated earlier, All children can learn. I believe that all children have different learning abilities and it takes a positive ad patient teacher to notice and react. I am very patient, caring, and supportive.

I love working with children. I have taught Sunday School classes at various age levels. I believe that each child is different and learns in his/her own way on his/her own time-table; therefore, I work with each child differently depending on their needs. I try to teach in a way that the child can understand and grasp the concepts of grammar, writing, and reading. I graduated with a Bachelor's in English from Troy University Dothan in December 2009. Since I opted for a Bachelor's in English rather than a Bachelor's in Secondary English Education, I took more writing and literature classes. In all of my English Literature classes, I had numerous writing assignments that helped me learn how to write. I also took writing and grammar classes which helped improve my writing skills tremendously. I tutored when I was in Jr. High School. The student I tutored was learning how to read. I enjoye

Teaching has long been a passionate calling of mine. I am motivated to help students of all ages to succeed academically and to overcome learning obstacles. I am patient, and simply cannot be discouraged in my efforts to make any topic understandable and enjoyable. Math is my particular favorite. I love seeing confidence grow in students as they build their math skills and discover that problem-solving is fun! I believe that every learning setting, whether in a classroom or a tutoring session, should be a safe place that is free from fear of failure. It's important to me to establish a good rapport with my students, and I find this generally comes naturally because I truly care about their success. I have a B.S. in Computer Studies and have spent the last 19 years as a computer programmer. I have great tech skills, including the Microsoft Office applications. I am proficient in Mat

Having a minor in psychology gives me a unique approach to teaching and dealing with children. I have taken several classes dealing with human cognitive and psychological development, and I bring that knowledge with me when I teach. I am patient and understanding. I realize that every child is unique, and that the best method for successfully learning is one that is narrowly tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. Education is the variable that is most highly correlated with future success, and should be our top priority if we wish to offer our children the best opportunity to succeed. I will be that advocate your child needs, ensuring that she or he receive every advantage that a first class education can offer. I am currently a senior at FSU, due to graduate this fall 2010, with a dual major in philosophy, minor in English; and political science, minor in psychology. Af

I believe that every child can succeed with strategies to support their learning. My experience with students who do not know English and children who have disabilities, has really given me the opportunity to learn strategies to help all types of children learn. I have a proven record of helping struggling students to raise their FCAT scores. My number one priority when tutoring for the past ten years has been to motivate and get children interested in school. Many students need a little help with organizational skills, and after that, I show them how much fun learning can be! After transferring from the classroom to the State, I really miss working with kids, and the satisfaction of seeing a student's face when they really “get it.” I have been passionate about teaching for as long as I can remember. I earned both my Bachelor and Master degrees in the field of Education, plus I am apply

For three years at Florida State University I was enrolled in an excellent teacher education program. At the end of the program I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Social Science Education. While at Florida State University I received three certifications, Social Science Education (6-12), Professional Educator for (All Grades) and Integrated Curriculum (5-9). Obtaining the Integrated Curriculum certification made it so I can be certified to mentor and tutor students in all major subjects. Since then I have worked with multiple young students on both strengthening their education and building character. I feel that I develop not only better students, but better young men and women. Each student learns in their own way and sometimes that way is not in a classroom setting. A teacher to me is someone who has developed a way to make each student understand the subject matter.

During my four years as an undergraduate at the University of Tulsa, in Oklahoma, I was able to gain extensive experience tutoring my peers in the School of Arts and Sciences, while earning my two bachelor degrees in the Fine Arts and the History of Art. Although my academic expertise lay primarily in English and the Arts due to writing and presenting original research, the University of Tulsa has also provided me with ample knowledge in the Maths and Sciences. In addition, as a teacher at an arts summer camp in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I have developed methods of teaching critical thinking and creative thought processes that are applicable and amenable not only to the arts, but to a variety of subjects as well. I believe that the relationship between student and teacher is one between equals, and that each must actively work together in order to accomplish a student's goals. This educational r

I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize. I believe in working with each student to develop a system that works best for the individual, which will give them the tool to learn more easily in the future. While obtaining my Master's degree I had the chance to study many different subjects as well as tutor student from Kindergarten to undergraduates in many areas of study. I received 2 Bachelors degrees in International Affairs and Art History and studied several different languages that will make me well rounded tutor.
