A Little Bit About Me...

Most of my adult life has been spent in the arena of teaching and mentoring. My undergraduate degree, a B.S. in Biology, was largely a platform for the many other courses taken in order to teach mathematics and sciences more effectively. Even after I had moved professionally from teaching to military chaplaincy, much of my focus has been on mentoring others. My range of personal experience is wide, having taught or tutored the range from basic mathematics to differential equations, earth science to physics, with Latin and Greek tossed in for good measure.
I have a teaching style which refer to as "narrative." All memorable education takes place in the context of its history and personal usefulness. Therefore, I show the student how a topic has affected people in the past and pull it into personal relevance. Discussion is crucial, not only for allowing the student to ask questions, ... read more

With a great passion for knowledge my personal quest was to achieve academic success. I earned my BA degree 2 minors in 3 1/2 years, and a 3 years masters program in 2 years,summa cum laude, with a flawless 4.0 grade point average. Over the years, I realized that learning matriculates in a variety of settings through a myriad of methods. As a corporate traniner, a professional mentor, children's ministry leader, and a parent educator I experienced the joy of sharing achievement with persons of all ages and abilities. In addition to your statistically normal learner, I have instructed children and adults with learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and chronic mental illness.
While we obtain knowledge in different methods, the role of a successful educator is to ascertain that method and then nourish it. People want to demonstrate success and independence. Learning ... read more

When I discovered how much I enjoy teaching I prepared myself to launch a second career. I earned a second degree and have almost completed my M.A. in History at USF. along the way, I have taught Latin and History to a wide variety of students from the sixth grade to college students. Throughout high school and college I have studied languages such as Spanish, French, Latin, and Classical Greek. Along with teaching a foreign language I have taught English since the study of any foreign language involves teaching the native language. From my experience writing almost two dozen research papers in my graduate studies at USF, I have practiced academic writing and can instruct students in the skills of research and writing as well as reading comprehension.
I feel that I am an empathetic teacher yet I hold my students to high standards of accomplishment. I try to bring a variety of mater ... read more

The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encouragement when tutoring.
I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned ... read more

As a foreign language graduate from USF I have achieved excellent credentialities from my former professor to obtain a post of assistantship at the same institution to teach undergraduate French level 1&2 for a period of two years. Based on my supervisor's comment I have accomplished outstanding experiences through the classroom management.I was highly involved and motivated to collaborate with the department administrators to plan and improve the foreign language program while working hard to earn my MA degree.
I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firml ... read more

My teaching style is based on the premise that students want to learn and succeed. At times they are blocked in that endeavor by the level of difficulty, the complexities of a lesson or personal obstacles. It's my job as a tutor to find out what that hindrance is and help the student overcome it. I vary my teaching style based on the needs of the student.
I'm a journalist by trade. My love of writing began at an early age. A bachelor's degree in Theater immersed me in the works of Wiliam Shakespeare and from there I became fascinated with history and living history at that. I then obtained a Master's degree in Journalism to expand my skill set in both the English and Spanish languages. I have extensive experience working with bilingual students of all ages in the subjects of English-grammar,composition, literature. Spanish-grammar, conversational. History- World, Latin, American.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always believe like the philosopher said that "all men by nature desire to know." It was true back then, thousands of years ago, and it's still true now. But not all people learn the same way. I've extensive experience teaching kids that, for one reason or another, did not have good grades in school. I believe anyone can excel if giving enough time and effort, and that each person should be judge by their character as much as by their knowledge. I always work diligently to transform students into active learners that can not only teach themselves but also others.
I am looking to bring my well-honed teaching, oral, and interpersonal communication skills along with my dedication to impart knowledge. Pertinent experience and skills for your consideration include: *Four years teaching junior high school students in a variety of subjects, including Literature, History and Math ... read more

With an extensive academic background in both the sciences and the arts, I have used many methods of learning. My strengths vary from languages to chemistry and I am an avid writer. I have experience tutoring peers in college and since graduation I have tutored children in elementary and middle school. I have tutored students in Latin, French, Chemistry, English (writing classes).
My favorite part of tutoring/teaching is the moment when you can see the proverbial "lightbulb" go off in a students mind. The moment they begin to understand whatever it is you are teaching is such a rewarding experience for me. I wouldn't say I have a set method for tutoring, I gauge an individual's learning style as I get to know their academic strengths and weaknesses and I adapt my teaching methods to fit their specific needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

Author and philosopher Kahlil Gibran says that a wise teacher "does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather, leads you to the threshold of your own mind". All students can learn, and each has the capacity that is unmatched by another. All students are unique. I believe that student centered learning is critical for retention, comprehension, and to increase prior knowledge. Hands-on learning can allow students to experience academics first hand. I am excellent at individual student assessment and I can create lesson plans based on current needs. I can adapt to learning struggles and provide alternatives to contemporary learning if necessary. An enthusiastic teacher can motivate any child and the give and take in a teacher/student relationship can improve both parties. I love what I learn from my students, and I value the responsibility of allowing them to learn from ... read more

As a seasoned instructor in the Humanities I have a long and vast experience teaching at different levels: secondary school, college or university. My teaching has taken place in a wide variety of settings: from a traditional scholarly environment to courses of cultural understanding for the US Marine Corps. Geographically speaking my teaching experience is also rather vast; having taught in Western Europe, North- and East Africa and the USA.
My teaching style is interactive and based upon understanding, instead of mere repetition of the matter taught. I always put the subjects in their broadest context possible, historical, cultural or other.
