My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own. I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges.

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 & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and HS level), HS Chemistry, basic w

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparin

I rely heavily on Socratic questioning, to strengthen the students own thinking; my goal is for him/her to not need me. I use symbol and concept imagery language to ensure the student is not simply repeating, but seeing and understanding. Learning, especially at the lower levels, need not be boring, and I enjoy teaching through games, and in counter culture environments such as reading on bean bags or under a tree. I am flexible and creative. For five years I taught swimming lessons. While swimming isnotan academic subject, this experience taught me the essentials of teaching. I worked with a large range of ages, from six months to sixty years. While in college I was a tutor/editor in the writing center all three years. Upon graduation I took two part time jobs tutoring English at elementary and secondary levels, at Knowledge Points of Tampa Bay and Lindamood- Bell learning processes of

I have attended private schools for my entire educational career except for the last few months of high school. I was raised to believe that education is one of the most important things one can attain for oneself. As an Early Admissions student, I was accepted to a private liberal arts college as a senior in high school. I always took classes full-time while working part time jobs and maintaining my Academic, Community Service, and Legacy scholarships. I never missed an opportunity to take classes over the summers. This helped accelerate me to graduate with a BA in Communications and a minor in Spanish by the age of 20. I speak Spanish fluently and I've earned several awards in writing and the fine arts. I have tutored students in several subjects including Spanish, English, Math, and Communications. I love kids and I'm definitely looking forward to the time when I will have some

My teaching style varies depending on the learning style of the student. I strive to make every chance to ensure your child receives the best opportunity to learn and absorb all of the information. I believe that teaching should be tailored by the student. In saying that, I am patient and have a clear way of communicating that children and young adults seem to get the most out of what I am teaching. I attanded and graduated from the University of Florida with my BS in Health Science, graduating Cum Laude. Although my degree is in the Health Sciences field, I have extensive background in all the science fields, 4 years plus of chemistry and biology, as well as extensive experience in the reading/writing fields. I was enrolled in numerous lecture and laboratory courses throughout my time at UF. In regards to teaching skills, I tutored throughout my time at UF and for the past 3 month

I am a former high school math teacher. I have taught and tutored in all math levels ranging from Basic Math to Calculus. I graduated from Faulkner University with a B.A. in Math while also taking classes in Music and participating heavily in Theater. This well rounded education led me to not only teach math at Gateway High School but to also become very involved in my students extra-curricular activities. Because of this, I can easily apply math to several different fields of study including the arts. This helps to keep the student engaged and see the relevance of the math being studied. I love teaching and working with students. As a teacher, I create an atmosphere that encourages the student to explore and rewards the student for his success. I am strong believer that the student learns best through discovery. All students can reach their potential if given the appropriate guidance an

As an Ivy League graduate, I studied many different fields, including Economics, Sociology, Literature and Visual Art. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school class and scored a 2340/2400 on my SATs (800 Verbal, 800 Writing, 740 Math), as well as 800s on my French SAT II and Math IIC. I have tutored elementary, middle and high school students before, and greatly enjoy the challenge of communicating difficult material in accessible ways to students. I prepare lesson plans for each lesson so that you as a parent will see what we are covering, and I constantly monitor the student for understanding. I strongly believe I can help your child not only do better in their studies, but also believe in their own abilities. Everyone can succeed with hard work and patience!

Teaching is my passion. I enjoy working with students one-on-one where I can frequently check on understanding. I can employ many manipulative or scaffolds to help each student learn to the best of his/her ability. I have taught English, English-related classes, middle school and high school Algebra, Geography and American History and Economics as well as Spanish I. Grammar, spelling, and writing skills are critical to achieving success in school and in business. . I have also edited a book, which is now for sale by the author. I have a strong work ethic and hope to instill this in my students. I have a passion for literature as a medium through which we share our humanity.
