Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Captiva, FL

I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles. I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor.

I have been working in education for the previous 9 years and have worked with students in all grade levels including K-12, college, and adult learners. My experiences include teaching college level courses, substitute teaching in grade school, and in home private tutoring.

I enjoy helping children learn. More than that, I enjoy helping them feel empowered and enjoy learning. When the child feels empowered, and is excited about what they can do, learning becomes fun. Whether working with turning past failures into success, or making high achievers soar to even greater heights, the process has to be 'tailored' to the child's particualar needs and personality. Together we make the difference for their future success. I have nineteen years of experience teaching children of various ages and abilities. I have taught second through fifth grade in the public school system, as well as pre-school through high school as the owner/operator of my own tutoring company. I have been employed with the public school system since 1991, and during that time, I have been employed by other schools for private consulting and inservices in writing. I have extensive experie

I use age and level appropriate methods to help each student best understand the materials being studied. I evaluate each individuals natural learning style; looker, listener, or mover, and use this to present materials in an understandable format that gives the student the best chance of success. As a teacher, tutor, and parent, I have enjoyed years of experience finding creative teaching methods to help students understand difficult concepts where standard classroom methods failed. I truly enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals and feel good about their abilities to succeed.

I have been working with children for more than 20 years, as a tutor and mentor. My profession and academic education was in business and psychology, but my passion has always been working with children. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a substitute teacher, for Lee County Schools. And for the last 5 years, I have spent my summer months traveling throughout SE Asia, volunteering time in orphanages and schools, teaching the children English. My teaching style totally depends on the student(s) that I am working with. Not all children learn at the same pace, nor do they all have the same attention span. That said, I find that applying the “token economy” approach, in getting the children to focus on the task, is very effective. If given time and patience, children are capable of accomplishing most anything.

I try to keep students very active in my classroom. I vary my instruction between direct instruction, hands on learning and cooperative activities. I have completed the week long training on cooperative learning at the Kagan Summer Institute. We use cooperative activities in my class daily. I have also completed Quality Schools Training with the Lee County School District. Therefore, I understand the importance of a data driven approach to teaching students. I am very active in my school. I am the chair if the rewards committee, head of my team, the girls volleyball coach, and the faculty advisor of the spirit club. I hold a middle school integrated curriculum certification. I am currently teaching 7th grade math, but have previously taught middle school social studies and science. Prior to beginning my teaching career I was the manager of my family's restaurant business, where I

My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instructor for dog obedience classes (you’re really teaching the owner, not the dog). My informal experience has been with my kids, helping them with homework and as a scout den leader and a coach for baseball and softball, and now with my grandkids. In my professional life, I brought new products and services to market which involved educating and orienting individuals and groups through demonstrating and teaching opportunities. My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the st

As a recent graduate of FGCU, I received top honors in my field of study, Early Childhood Education. This continues my experience as an educator, as I have taught at the pre-school level for 15 years. My teaching and life experiences uniquely qualify me for an engaging tutoring experience for your child. I have recently interned in two elementary schools resulting in great academic success for my students in reading and math. I understand the stress and competitiveness of standardized testing in our schools and I am here to help. My teaching style is a combination of basic, simple direct instruction and hands-on learning. I believe children learn best through active engagement when they are interested in the subject. I realize that not all students learn in the same way, or at the same pace. As my student, a child can expect a variety of differentiated instruction techniques to cr

I feel that I am a natural educator. I often find my self teaching people simple tasks at work, or being called upon by friends and family members to assist them, or their children with their homework. I like to keep learning fun and interesting for all students. I believe that if you invoke an emotional response, like happiness, when you are teaching something, the pupil is much more likely to retain the information. All through high school and college I was a tutor. I have taken numerous writing extensive courses. This qualifies me to tutor English. I have also taken many courses that concentrated on Social Studies. Science was always one of my favorite courses in high school, therefore I took a few science courses in college as well. I have previously tutored students in test preparation, and I have taken the FCAT myself. Math was another strong subject of mine, and I have also tutore

I have many years experience working with, tutoring, and advising children and young adults. I believe that children are very individual in their learning capabilities and can reach their fullest potential if they are given an appropriate and supportive environment to learn. I graduated with a BS degree from the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. In the last year I have started tutoring children, mainly in elementary school subjects. Throughout my work history, I have had many opportunities to work with and advise children and young adults through my positions as a case worker, a tutor, and volunteer mentor. I currently work as a financial representative, where my primary focus is to complete a current financial analysis for new clients and help them develop a personal financial plan to meet their goals and objectives.

I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year. I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to build rel

I have always wanted to be a teacher, ever since I was a child. I love teaching and bringing out the best in children. I believe that an effective way of getting children to learn is through discovery. This helps them to develop self confidence which is very important in learning. As an educator for eleven (11) years, I strongly believe in the highest quality of education for every child. It is without a doubt I say that every child can learn and achieve their ultimate best. Literacy is my passion, and was my major. I am also a trained elementary teacher and is capable of teaching all subject areas.
