Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gainesville, FL

I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the correct direction. I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of

I have always been an avid reader and writer, as well as a natural teacher. As early as middle school, I was tutoring my fellow classmates at the request of their parents. I studied Latin for five years, which provided an exceptional foundation for the study of English, which I pursued as my major at Loyola University. I concentrated in Creative Writing, so the bulk of my college work consisted of reading and writing to very exacting standards. I graduated Summa Cum Laude, maintaining a 4.0 major GPA for my entire four years. I have since worked as an SAT Instructor for the Princeton Review and have also tutored privately and given music lessons for supplementary income. I have always had an inclination to teach. To me, there is something very exciting about conveying understanding of a concept to another person. I think I have a particular ability for identifying precisely what aspect o

For me, meaning is at the heart of what it means to be a teacher. If what I am teaching means nothing to my students, then I can expect them to retain very little. Yet, if I can make learning dynamic, interesting, engaging, interactive, and fun, then learning—powerful learning--can happen. In addition, I believe students must create their own knowledge of a subject, learn through discovery, and question until they find answers on their own. I am ever the optimistic and idealist, seeking the best in all my students and believing in them no matter what their limitations are. Throughout the learning process, I believe expectations should remain high, laughs should be shared, and connections should be made. I am confident that I can touch the lives of my students by uniting meaningful teaching, a constructivist approach to learning, an unwavering positive attitude, and a comfortable wo

The child is in the Center of learning, he must makes learning HIS or HER problem , the teacher is a link between the child and the knowledge, but also brings all his background, his skills, his affectivity, noone can learn without being a little bit attached to the teacher.

I have found that the best way to teach is to be flexible, understand your student(s), and find out what will work best for them. Some students need more 'hands on' math and science projects, some students express themselves best through art and/or oratory, and then of course there are the readers and writers. I have learned through my professional trainings and experiences that there are ways to reach and, more importantly, expand each person's capacity to learn by allowing the best expression of their talents and abilities. I am the son of a teacher and have therefore had the value of a good education as a part of my world view. Both of my parents are also avid readers and critical thinkers and instilled the virtues of scholastic practice. Hence, I embarked on a collegiate career that included 12 years studying philosophy, history, religion, Irish Studies, literature, and finally educa

I love teaching, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment to know that I made such an impact on a child's life. I believe they all have the capability to learn given the right environment. I am considerate and I like to make the learning process fun and attractive in order to make it less intimadating for the student. I strive to make a difference. I will be graduating with an MBA this August and I am already planning on continuing my education with a master's in psychology. My education has enabled me to gain a good understanding of math and statistics. I have tutored students in English and mathematics.

I try to build a relationship with my students from day one, and I like that they build also a relationship with me. I encourage full participation of the student, while adapting my presentation to different learning styles. Students are expected to take full responsibility for learning what they need to know, and for asking for help when they don't understand something. I try to find activities adapted to the specific problems and learning styles. I have been teaching Foreign Languages (Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, German) for over 20 years, and have an extensive experience in all types of schools (private, charter, public), and in tutoring on a one-to-one basis. I have followed a lot of workshops in different countries in order to keep abreast of the latest development in teaching Foreign Languages.
