I have been teaching on a part time basis as an Adjunct Professor at Edison State College (previously Edison Community College, Edison College) for the last 10 years as the Surveying instructor in a vocational oriented program.

Helping build a solid foundation for youngsters and young people is very important to everyone's future. I always have my student’s best interest at heart. I like an interactive and experiential approach to teaching where the students share in the process, rather just given material to digest and be tested on what

My teaching style would be the same way I teach my son. I give him the opportunity to learn. I work with him. I put the time in to help him. I take the time to help him, and if he get a problem wrong I help him correct it. I have been working in the banking field for over 15 years since I graduated with a degree in business.

I remember thinking years ago: "What will I ever use this for?" In tutoring my children, sometimes their friends, in addition to training my employees, I strive to create excitement by showing a need and an application for new information. I tend to retain information if I have a use for the knowledge, and believe others feel the same. Ignorance is simply the lack of information, and can be corrected with the proper presentation and guidance. The challenging and most rewarding is to find the method that "clicks" with the student, and seeing the light of realization in their eyes. Growing up the son of an English teacher, and a high school principal, education was obviously paramount in the home environment. I graduated from Indiana University with Business Degree, most of my work experience was in training and development of new employees, with a strong emphasis on demonstration, explain

As a United States Air Force Academy graduate, I believe in the value of leadership, quality teaching and training. I have a BS in Basic Sciences; my strengths are in math, science and writing. I have strong spatial orientation skills and have written analyses of world military operations and political situations for the U.S. Air Force general staff. I have been a NAUI scuba instructor since 1991, a trumpet teacher for several years, and an inorganic chemistry and algebra tutor for the last year. I think learning and discovering is a "magical" experience. My memories of the first time I learned about the solar system and space exploration was mind-boggling. That is what I seek to bring to students--to find their interests and develop them so they have the drive to learn. I sincerely believe the process of learning and interacting with adults or mentors is how we learn social skills an

I began my teaching career while obtaining my Master's degree at the U of Iowa. I taught the entry Business Administration course as part of my graduate program. This included grading, testing, actvities, and coaching students. Once employed in the corporate world, I continued teaching within my corporate position, as well as in adult education settings with Indiana Wesleyan, Univesity of Indianapolis, and Indiana Tech. I expanded my role from adjunct faculty to part-time consultant by helping them development their Information Technology program. Additionally, I continued as a Junior Achievement consultant for 7th grade math courses, and Kindercare instruction to children ages 3-8 on computer skills and general learning. I am a life long learner and teacher. My teaching style is very similar regardless of audience: get them involved. I use creative exercises, current events, and

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 relationships with all of my students and their families. 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 disabil

I am dedicated to helping all students learn valuable communication skills, become more compassionate of others, confident in their critical thinking, and hopeful about their futures. I create a nurturing and safe environment of mutual respect that continuously focuses on both individuality and building community. I enthusiastically apply all course content directly to students’ past, present and future so they can emotionally connect to the material. I bring current events and pop culture into my classrooms regularly in order to help students develop a healthy respect for both the formal and informal ways in which they can become lifelong learners/critical thinkers. I understand that my students may have both explicit and implicit personal challenges that impede learning, so I take the time to know them individually in order to help them succeed. I feel it is an honor and a privile

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.

Teaching and/or training has always been a highlight in my life. After graduation, I accepted a position as an Adult Education Specialist; counseling and interacting with adults (18-65) returning to school for their GED's. I have worked in a variety of settings including open school, individualized, and classroom instruction. Some students need a more independent approach. Other students require much more supervision while still others respond to a positive blend of the two. Most importantly, self-discovery is the keystone to inspired learning and it allows students to stay motivated. I believe that being the facilitator is my method of choice carefully blending styles that can make the difference in learning key concepts. I am applying for the position that you advertised online for Tutors in Math and Science. Given my education and work experience, I would be an ideal match for this

I often tutored fellow students through my high school career. I mostly focused on Reading, English, History and Science. Rarely did I tutor in Mathematics. I received my Educational Paraprofessionals certification in May of 2009, scoring one point shy of perfect. The certification allows me to be a teachers assistant in side classrooms in Lee County Florida. I prefer a very one on one style where I can figure out where the student currently is in the subject. I like to try to cater my teaching style to each students personality so that learning can be easy and fun.

My first work experience began with counseling Severely Emotionally Disturbed children and their families. In this capacity I worked with the schools in order to enable the students to see the value of education and to work through their personal problems in order to be successful in the school setting. I have been a teacher/trainer for 12 years in the Lee County school system. The levels I taught included diverse populations of middle and high school students. Most of my classes were comprised of ESE students and in fact there were several years that I concentrated on Severely Emotionally Disturbed students in a special program. Throughout both of these careers I have been extremely successful in establishing rapport and trust with these children and have been triumphant in motivating this population to care about themselves and their education.

Teaching is natural for me, especially kids. Every responsible adult is a teacher whether they know it or not. I teach and tutor on the premise of; with discipline, a child can accomplish anything set before him or her, and overcome any obstacle laid in front of him or her. I believe when giving kids the proper tools to succeed in life it is not a matter of will they succeed but it is a matter of when they will succeed. I have a wealth of experience tutoring kids. My knowledge gains from college and in the work force allows me to provide accurate tutoring to students seeking help. I have tutored in subjects such as Math and Science. For the last 3yrs I have tutored students in inner city after school programs. I find great joy in providing assistance to students in the academic areas and to help improve our wonderful public school system.
