More About This Tutor...

In my experience, I do not teach but simply assist people who need it. In college I helped my friends by explaining how to correct their writing, and offering advice. I am patient and willing to help as best as I can without being condescending towards students.
My experience is more hands-on and personal, I suppose. I love history and write constantly, in addition to having a great interest in photography and television. I majored in American Studies which focused on history and culture in the US, and minored in Creative Writing and Digital Arts. It is a dream of mine to help others learn, as I think college and knowledge is an incredible and necessary aspect that people need.

My comments on tutoring Chess : Fun game that take strategy and planning.

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 ... read more

My comments on tutoring Chess : I have played as a hobby for many years.

I have been in business for myself since 2008 as a Freelance Photographer/Designer. I Love what I do and I intend it to show. I also wish to share what I know and pass on any knowledge that might help another to grow and succeed. Photography (20plus years) Graphic Design (13 years) Advertising & Marketing (6 + years) Layout (11+ years) Quality Control (6+ years) Management (11+ years) Department Development (7 years)
I am very easy going and move at the pace of the subject!. What's most important is to ensure that the information has been relayed properly to the student...and said student has retained the information successfully.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored people in math before. Their grades have ranged from 7th-10th grade. I have also helped friends in classes in college that have to do with statistics and other math classes. When I was in high school, the highest math class I had ever taken was Calculus BC. This was the highest math class that my school offered so I believe that I could people pass their math classes in high school and possibly College. I also scored a 730 on the Math section of the SAT.

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal as a teacher is to meet the individual needs of students, teaching them “how” to learn, and guiding them towards their full potential as learners and citizens. I strive to use strengths to turn weaknesses into success. I enjoy using many instructional methods, finding “the one” that can make a concept come to life. I feel it is imperative to “reach before teach” when it comes to identifying and meeting needs. Developing a bond of trust and commitment leads to a less stressful environment, opening the door to creative learning with little fear of failure. I use a lot of humor in my teaching; I like puns and really bad jokes and I’ve been known to dress in costume or speak in an accent all day.
I spent much time in college working with local teachers and tutoring their students. Upon graduation, I spent a year teaching 4th grade in a private school. In Florida, I continu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My first experience teaching was as a Drug Education Counselor. In this position I educated children in grades kindergarten through fourth grade in a classroom setting. Students were taught about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. In addition, hands-on activities were used to teach student life skills such as eating healthy, safety, and manners. Currently I am a third grade teacher at a Christian school. Within this position I teach reading comprehension, language, math, science, social studies, and Bible. After school hours I tutor students in critical subject areas such as reading and math.
As a teacher I have learned that every student does not learn the same way. Therefore, an observer in my classroom would notice the various styles of teaching I use. First and foremost, students are required to participate in the learning process in order for me to determine whether ... read more

I believe teaching to be a matter of enablement. The student's immediate goal is to absorb and understand the material, and the teacher's is to make this understanding happen. The primacy of the student's process requires the teacher to mold his or her relationship to each student in subtly but unmistakably individual ways, so the same teaching personality appears to be different to different students. In my case, the approach I strive to extend to all students emphasizes patience in the face of difficulties and confidence that the student's short- and long-term goals, however difficult, are within reasonable reach.

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from college with a degree in Mathematics Education, I taught High School level Mathematics for 4 years. Three of those years were spent in Western New York teaching Geometry and Calculus and the other here in Florida teaching Geometry and Trigonometry. During that time, I created and implemented an alternative 3rd year math class highlighting real mathematics and problemsolving in nature, architecture and literature. For the last 5 years, I have worked as a Technical Trainer for companies like CompUSA and Siemens.
I believe that education comes best from experience. If you can see it, touch it and explore it then you are more likely to understand it. Mathematics is a subject which has become taboo. It is too often associated with functions and formulas that have been removed from what is real and planted solely in a textbook. My goal is remove math from a te ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently completed my education to be a communication and English educator at the University of Minnesota - Duluth. Through the program I spent a year as an apprentice at a middle school and high school. At these locations I not only observed, but also conducted the classroom a day each week. Also at this time I spent a day tutoring a low functioning reader one-on-one for the entire semester. The following year I student taught high school English and creative writing. In this year I also spent time tutoring after school in all content areas, (English, writing, science, math, study skills, etc.)
To me teaching is about solving puzzles. Each student needs different devices or strategies to learn at their full potential. This is why I believe in experimenting with how class or a learning session is conducted. I pride myself on my courage to try something new and original in ... read more

I am a teacher/instructor by nature. I do not believe there is but one method to solve any problem. I make every attempt to relate the use and application of math to the students’ real world environments and situations. I believe in the demonstration/performance method of instruction: explanation, demonstration, student performance and evaluation. My students are very aware that my goal is their success. The following is an extraction from a letter written on my behalf by a colleague: “I frequently teach students who have taken prerequisite math courses from Marc, and those students are always very well prepared and do very well. I respect his ability to adapt, innovate and succeed in the classroom. Beyond the classroom, Marc holds informal study sessions with students, generously giving his time to help students succeed. Marc genuinely enjoys teaching, cares about student su ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal in the classroom is to find a way to make my students relate to the material. I want my students to care enough to ask questions and work hard to understand the material. I enjoy teaching very much. I believe that it is an opportunity to teach my students that they can do anything that they want to do in their lives. I know that I have made a difference in the lives of my students, because they have told me that I changed the way that they see the world.
I have earned a BA in political science, and I will finish my PhD in May 2006. Through my graduate work, I have developed very strong math and writing skills that would enable me to be a very effective tutor for students in both math and reading. I have also worked with students to improve their writing style in the classes that I have taught, teaching them basic grammar and essay organization.
