College Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Myers, FL

I have over 350 hours of experience working in middle school intensive reading classrooms, 180 hours in a 7th grade science room, completed an internship in a 7th and 8th grade science classroom, and volunteered at Naples Botanical Gardens. Starting in the fall I will be interning full time in a honors marine science class. I believe all students are capable of learning. It is the role of the educator to help students identify their strengths and provide them with the tools that will help them integrate new knowledge into existing schemas. I try to integrate metacognitive tools into content teaching to instill life long learning.

I am currently working as a full time History Teacher at the PACE Center for girls. I have also had the pleasure of substituting for the Lee County School District during the last half of this school year. Since I was fairly new to the area, I decided this would be the best way to become more familiar with the schools throughout the district. I also have experience working at the Southwest Florida Marine Institute as a business manager. I enjoyed interacting with the students there as well. This opportunity also allowed me to meet some wonderful administrators within the district. Although I enjoyed the Institute, I felt working more hands on with the students would better suit me. I have also worked with a few tutoring companies both locally and out of state. One in particular brought me closer with those living at Our Mother's Home in San Carlos Park (attend LAMP School) I love

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 and the art of personal interaction that will ultimately determine our level of success. Tutoring is more than helping students achieve academic excellence; if done well, it's about instilling habits for success. 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

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. My passions are teaching

As a non-traditional student, my college experience awarded me many advantages, as well as, many opportunities to uncover hidden skills. I began tutoring for Student Support Services while attending community college in Southwest Virginia. I worked with adults, disabled and traditional students in many subject areas. This led to establishing the Eagle's Wing Mentoring Program while attending Florida Gulf Coast University for the first two years. I later transferred to the Office of Adaptive Services where I am currently still working with a wide variety of students. As I discovered while in college, I have been instructing people all of my life. While working in the food-service industry for the past twenty-plus years, I have held supervisory positions and provided training to literally hundreds of employees. This natural ability to work with others became apparent when I began tut

I believe that one particular style is not necessarily appropriate for all areas of studies or for students with varying assets and deficits. However, I attempt to have the student as involved and interactive with the learning rocess as can be achieved, and being legally trained, often employ the "Socratic Method"--an exchange of dialogue, which maximizes the student's participation and involvement, and even, on occasion, development of the learning process. I provided volunteer services to disadvantaged youngsters in math, reading in Chicago and Florida. I have taught legal writing and was a substitute teacher in Lee and Collier Counties. I tutored and/or managed SES programs for 3 providers in Lee County and was Director of a tutoring Lee CY tutoring program. I have had my own tutoring company since 1995. I have tutored K-12 thru graduate levels, as well as SAT, ACT, and FCAT 3-12. Sub

I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in biology and chemistry minor. I finished with honors, while in the honors program and Phi Eta Sigma honor society and the Golden Key honor society. Throughout my college career I had the opportunity to be a teacher's assistant for a Human Systems course, and tutored peers in such subjects as General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, and Biology I & II for two years. I mentored high school seniors and tutored them in the areas required for graduation. In the Dominican Republic I have worked with, and am still involved with, at-risk youth planning and implementing educational activities. I discovered my love for teaching and working with children in the Dominican Republic while on an alternative spring break working with at-risk youth living on the streets of the city of Santiago.

I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts. As a teacher, I believe if the lesson is intriguing to the student, then they will learn. My goal is to find out what works best for your child as a student and then make sure that their academic needs are met. Our tutoring sessions would be full of knowledge, but also enjoyable. An engaged student, is a student who learns. I hope to teach all my students to the best of my ability. I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am graduating with a Bacholer's in Elementary Education. I plan to continue my education by acheiving my Master's in Special Education. I ha

All through high school and college I was a tutor. I have taken numerous writing extensive courses. This qualifies me to tutor English. I have also taken many courses that concentrated on Social Studies. Science was always one of my favorite courses in high school, therefore I took a few science courses in college as well. I have previously tutored students in test preparation, and I have taken the FCAT myself. Math was another strong subject of mine, and I have also tutored students in this area as well. I feel that I am a natural educator. I often find my self teaching people simple tasks at work, or being called upon by friends and family members to assist them, or their children with their homework. I like to keep learning fun and interesting for all students. I believe that if you invoke an emotional response, like happiness, when you are teaching something, the pupil is much more l

As a teacher, tutor, and parent, I have enjoyed years of experience finding creative teaching methods to help students understand difficult concepts where standard classroom methods failed. I truly enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals and feel good about their abilities to succeed. I use age and level appropriate methods to help each student best understand the materials being studied. I evaluate each individuals natural learning style; looker, listener, or mover, and use this to present materials in an understandable format that gives the student the best chance of success.
