I am a young physician (U. of Cincinnati College of Medicine, class of 2011) with 7 years of MCAT teaching experience for a well-known test prep company. I have mentored and taught the MCAT to hundreds of pre-medical students who have went on to matriculate into medical school. Through my tenure of teaching this test, I have gained the expertise needed to help you master this predictable standardized test. Some of the things I will help you with are: develop a realistic and efficient study plan, help you with MCAT specific test strategies, and guide you through any of the science content that you need help understanding. I am familiar with all of the listed topics found within the 10 Foundational Concepts defined by the AAMC (the organization that writes the MCAT). I will also demonstrate how to approach the passages and questions in the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Section (Verbal Re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I decided to become a teacher in 7th grade when two teachers in a time of family crisis turned my life around and turned me on to learning. I majored in elementary education, earned a dual master's degree in culturally disadvantaged education and reading through a federal fellowship. I have pursued multiple post masters course in a wide variety of institutions. I have literally taught every level from nursery school to graduate school. I spent 16 years in private schools as a teacher, reading clinician, assistant principal and principal. I have spent 24 years as a public school teacher and curriculum coordinator. I have taught hospital/homebound for five years, worked as a reading clinician and academic tutor for six years, and have privately tutored multiple times in my career. I currently am a full time online instructor in English and FCAT preparation working from my home with a flexi ... read more

My personal teaching and training experience with kids from Elementary to High School is exquisite because I have taught 6th Grade English Grammar and Biology, 8th Grade English Grammar and Biology, 9th Grade English Literature, Reading Comprehension, and Biology, and 10th Grade English Literature, Reading Comprehension, and Biology. I have earned two degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature, and an Associates Degree in Biology.
I have a very unique method of teaching I use with kids- I’ll give them time to explain everything before I start my plan with them, that way I’ll know their exact personalities and work with that to determine exactly what needs to be done.And, at the same time,give them great advice they can use all their lives and build a trust with them that they know they can rely and depend on me whenever they needed to. This will strengthen their personalit ... read more

I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of children and adults fail as students because teachers often choose their prized pupils and disregard the rest. I think this is grossly unjust, and believe everyone has the potential for greatness.
I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that everyone is able to learn, and what produces that ability is having support. So many instructors give up on those not favored as "prized" students, and in turn, these students just slide through. I know it takes time and effort to get some students enthused about education, and I make it my goal to help them with this.
I have been working as a private tutor from my home or student's home for 3 years. I have tutored elementary through college level students. I am able to teach a variety of subjects, however my forte is English and Composition. I have the honor of being a published author. I am an expert in MLA or APA style writing. I have also tutored in College Algebra, elementary math, Biology, and Reading. I speak conversational French, and am able to teach up to the secondary level.

A Little Bit About Me...

It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are adaptable no matter the need. I have created unique units (such as "Language of the Week") and worked with birth through age 22.
Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with children. Especially those that are from low income families and different cultures. I have volunteered tutoring children after school. Additionally, I have taken several classes about learning styles, teaching styles, and study skills to improve my own academic achievement. This allows me to better communicate information in the different ways needed. Following, I have experience working with children with learning disabilities, particularly autism.
I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught in three different states: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado. The levels have been 3rd grade through 12th. Each state and each class added to my comprehension of the variety of needs and learning abilities of each student. Thus, allowing me to use a variety of ways to instruct and have the students not only learn but completely understand what is being taught.
Learning is a lifelong enjoyable journey. I diligently work to make learning fun and interesting. A sense of humor, nurturing, hands-on experiences and my strong knowledge base is used to encourage and support my student(s) into developing his/her (their) positive self esteem and working up to their academic potential.

I believe in the model, "each one reach, each one teaches one." I enjoy teaching children and feel that due to the fact that english was not my first language I'm extremely patient with teaching children. I believe in constant positive reinforcement when it comes to teaching and I also believe in creativity. Finding out what a child's interest are and applying it to what they are learning helps them understand the lessons being taught.
As an alum of Penn State University, I participated in various programs which I tutored students from high school to college level. The summer of my freshman year at Penn State, I tutored high school students in math and science for Upward Bound Math and Science. I also became a Teacher's Assistant for Sociology my junior year of undergraduate studies. My duties as a teacher's assistant consisted of planning and implementing course lectures, le ... read more

I have had a great variety of experiences in education. I spent two years teaching social studies, one year at the high school level and one year at the middle school level. Other educational experiences I have had include tutoring and working part time with elementary students, teaching science. I have tutored elementary and middle school students in subjects including reading, writing, study skills, vocabulary, science, and math.
Two of my greatest strengths as a teacher include rapport with students and organization. I am usually able to develop a rapport with students, which I feel helps encourage a positive working environment. I am quite organized which helps me attend to my students' needs and to help students organize themselves. In working with a variety of age groups and a variety of subject matter, I feel that I have a strong understanding of learning needs for a va ... read more

I consider myself to be a very good people person. I have a way of relating to the students that I'm helping. As mentioned above, my students respect me and see that I am serious and focused on helping them succeed in their studies. I look forward to helping any student achieve a sense of accomplishment in learning.
I spent some time in college tutoring other students in subjects such as mathematics and Hebrew. I was asked by the academic support office to tutor because my advisor knew I was a committed student with a strong knowledge of many subjects. I was honored to be thought of in such a way. I did well with my students and they respected me. I was serious about accomplishing the tasks at hand when I met with them and the overall reflection in their grades showed very positive results.

I will be graduating from UF this fall semester with a degree in marketing and mass communication. Although I am young, I have had some experience in teaching, as I have worked as a tutor during the summer. I have also served as a tutor at the University of Florida in all math related topics. I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and I am a registered substitute teacher. I have always been a diligent student, as my transcript can attest, and I have a passion for teaching anyone, especially in the areas of mathematics, economics, English, and writing.
My teaching style embodies a combination of individualism and structure. Before I teach any subject, I dissect the topic to get to the fundamental root that may cause difficulties in learning. I break down the problem into a simple nature so that students can understand the logical reasoning of how to solve any problem. I be ... read more

My favorite approach is to take it slow. I find that to teach a student a specific field of knowledge there is almost always a hindering block that cannot be seen at first glance. For instance, a student who is having trouble with division of decimal numbers may not realize that the whole issue stems from his lack of understanding of the multiplication tables. Allowing the student to show you what he or she knows and watching the student attempt the problem step-by-step will reveal this hidden block. Once this hidden block is taken care of, the information will flow easily and naturally.
Throughout my education I have always prided myself in being an excellent student. Although this extended to all my subjects, my most passionate courses have always been in mathematics. This has been true from elementary all the way through college. Once in high school, I began tutoring students in ... read more

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.
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.
