I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentoring, and tutoring. I have taught high school and college students on and off since 1986 and have had several students go on to VERY successful careers, perhaps one of the best ways to evaluate ones ability as a teacher. My most recent success (2006-07) was a 7th grade C and B student who had straight A's after only two months of working together and finished 7th grade with straight A's. Her confidence level increased dramatically (as noted by her family and friends) and she now has set her sights on Harvard as a real possibility someday.
I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them ... read more

I achieved an AA degree at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. I am currently continuing my education at Florida State University where I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Biology. I will graduate in Spring of 2010. After, I will continue to Dental School to become a dentist.
I enjoy teach with all different age levels. Most recently, I taught 4th grade science through the FSU Teach Program. It was fun and really showed me how to teach students and make the lessons engaging and fun. Its important to keep the child focused. My goal is to make sure a student learns something new everyday that she/he will remember.

I am a firm believer that one must want to learn in order to be taught. That "want" can be learned over time, and the desire to pass on knowledge and be caring, considerate, and nurturing is part of my makeup. I really love hanging out with kids and seeing the beautiful, innocent way that their minds work. I would love to play a role in making someones life better, and giving the start for productivity.Every child is like a blank slate, and the experiences they have early on make a huge difference.
I have had much education, reading is one of my favorite things to do. Although I was a science major, I did teach throughout my masters degree. Teaching is never simple, there are so many things to learn. I do believe that I would be capable of teaching pretty much anything, and I am very good with children. I can provide any references that you will need.

To be able to teach takes time and patience as well as numerous other skills, I feel that I have the qualities to teach children ranging of all ages as well as older individuals. In my time working in a lab setting my goal was to teach an unknown skill to individuals. I feel that I was able to understand that each person learns at a different pace and with different strategies and this is important when trying to teach. I feel that with my patience, understanding, and knowledge of learning situations I can be that one person that helps that one child breakthrough and realize how a little more hard work can make all the difference.
In the process of achieving a bachelors of Science degree in Psychology I spent time working in a lab as well as being a lead counselor in a private after school program. In the school, my duties ranged from helping with homework to planning structured ac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I thoroughly enjoy working with children and watching them discover new things. I am especially passionate about making science approachable and enjoyable for everyone. I am very relaxed and patient in my approach, and believe learning is best acheived through hands on, individually paced experience. I have spent many years as a student and feel I understand how to be a successful learner. In turn, I am eager to help others achieve academic success and gain experience as an educator.
While I have not had a great deal of formal teaching experience, as an undergraduate I had the opportunity to tutor fellow students in biology and serve as a laboratory teaching assistant. I have also worked as a collegiate athletic coach, where I was able to foster teaching skills and develop and implement original daily learning plans. My education has allowed exposure to a variety of academic ... read more

I have been tutoring since I graduated from high school. I have earned my BS in Biology and a Masters in Physical Chemistry. I am currently working on my PhD in chemical physics. Being placed in upper level math courses in college gave me the opportunity to tutor my fellow students. As I advanced I was able to not only tutor, but I was asked to be a teaching assistant for biochemistry and physical chemistry. After graduation, I went on to become a teaching assistant for general chemistry and inorganic chemistry in graduate school, while also a full-time student. Working on my undergraduate and graduate degrees has not only given me a good foundation in math and science, but also in English and research. I have tutored or taught many different levels in science and math.

I think I could be a considerate teacher. I listen well to what others have to say and ask, and I get my point across in a concise manner. I can work with small children and teenagers.
I do not have much experience in teaching and tutoring, but I would love to earn the experience. I am quite versed in classical literature and archaeological advancements. I have also learned to write research papers and essays well, so I have great grammatical skills. I know grammar well and can teach it with ease.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer in that every child can succeed in whatever they strive for if they are given proper instruction. Even difficult learners can succeed if the proper teaching methods are employed. Different students have different stimuli that they respond to. There is no one cookie cutter mold for teaching. After all, each student is an individual and responds in their own way. The challenge for the teacher is to find the most efficient way to engage and motivate the student to genuinely want to learn and succeed.
I have been teaching for the last 8 years. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree from Greensboro College in North Carolina. I am Florida certified in Exceptional Student Education and Middle Grades Integrated curriculum. I am currently teaching Science, Math, Life Skills and Social Personal Skills.

I adopt a simplistic yet effective 2 level approach. At the first level, I make sure that the concepts are crystal clear to my students and and at the second level I train my students to be competitive exam takers. Such an approach provides conceptual clarity as well as practical understanding of the subject.
I'm a researcher and educator. I earned a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Physics Hons. After graduating, I taught Physics, Mathematics and Science to high school, college and graduate students. My teaching experience was so rewarding that I won various awards. It also inspired me to pursue higher studies and I started my degree in Physical Oceanography at Florida State University. For the past 7 years I have been teaching, mentoring and helping students with Physics, Mathematics, Science and English.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my higher education at Tallahassee Community College in 1997. After receiving my AA Degree I transferred to F.S.U where I majored in Criminology with a minor in Spanish and graduated in 2003. Since that time, I've worked as a legal assistant/paralegal with different law firms in town. Recently, I decided to return to school and received my certificate in Massage Therapy.
The thing I love most about teaching is opening up someones eyes to something new and seeing the "wow" look on their faces. Sometimes certain subject matter is not always easy for a person to learn. I've always appreciated the teacher that went out of their way with a great amount of patience to make sure I understood. I take a lot from the amazing teachers I've had and would hope to be able to pass that on.

While providing therapy I would work on Reading, Language and Grammar skills. I also have experience tutoring for the past year.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students in all settings, including small groups and one-to-one. My personal specialty was in one-to-one math and science tutoring. Students do best when they have a goal to achieve. My goal with each child is to use positive reinforcement and encouragement. I try to consider each child's individual learning styles when working with them. It is extremely important that the setting is comfortable and conducive to learning, whether it is in a classroom or a library.
After graduating from Florida State University, I received a job at DISC Village in Tallahassee Florida as a Prevention Counselor in the Beta program. This program was school-based and involved working with at-risk middle school students at Wakulla Middle School. My duties included instructing 12-26 students in 6th-8th grade in social skills, behavior improvement, drug prevention, and study group ... read more
