Give the brain what it wants!

From age seven, I have had a passion for teaching and public speaking. I am involved with a continuing education program that hones speaking and teaching ability. In high school, I helped to pilot and served as captain of the Speech and Debate team (National Forensics League). I also worked as a Teacher Cadet. I took four years to volunteer at an educational center after high school where I completed an advanced course in public speaking. I was a full-time volunteer minister for 15 years total, and I dedicated much time to working with troubled and at-risk youths. For a year, I volunteered with Lapsits for Literacy. I have experience teaching in English and Spanish, and I have certificates to teach English and Spanish to speakers of other languages from the highly regarded Canadian Institute of English.
ACTIVE!!! The focus is on FUN and changing gears. The brain wants activity. ... read more

As a young man raised in a military life style, I have always been extremely motivated and possitive in striving for excellence. I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelors of Science in Finance Degree where I received specific knowledge, skills and abilities. After college I was able to put my wife through pharmacy school while working with a private investment firm as the Senior Portfolio Analyst. I have also held positions that required diversified skills to deal with customer service, analysis, mentoring, managing and leading a team of piers.
My teaching style is standard in the extent that I believe everyone can learn specific material, they just have to figure out a way to relate to the material. Growing up I was tutored by my parents with the style of trial and error. I believe this works only with certain individuals, while others may require a step by s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both entertaining and beneficial, just as I believe that all students are capable of reaching new heights of academic excellence. All it takes is a little bit of patience and creativity on both sides, the teacher and the student, to have an unforgettable experience.
I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My clas ... read more

I have always wanted to teach but enjoyed the research that was available working for a large chemical company. I had the opportunity to teach Organic while I was working and enjoyed it but the time constraints were tough. I am now retired from industry and will be teaching in the Chemistry Department at the University of West Florida. I am very enthusiastic about chemistry and that comes through in my teaching and tutoring. I have made a very good living doing something I love to do and that is reflected in my teaching style.
After finishing my PhD I went to work for Monsanto as an organic analytical chemist. My speciality was the use of mass spectrometry to understand organic chemical reactions and the products and impurities that were formed.

I enjoy a Socratic method of questions to teach. Each student has her/his own style of learning and the Socratic allows me to home in on that style and give the student ownership of the larned material. I have ben told I have the parience of job and a "down-to-earth" way of explaination.
After graduating with a dual degree, I taught in Texas for 27 years in the fields of English, Geography, Health/PE, History, and Math. I have presented multiple times on the state level in math. After moving to Pensacola, I have tauht two years in the Florida K-12 sytem, presenting in Tallahassee in an area social studies conference, and three years in the community and junior college system. Recent tutoring includes math up to college Algebra, some physics and chemistry.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my sophomore year in college, I tutored a 10th grader in geometry for two semesters. I also tutored him and one of his peers for one semester in Algebra II. I then got a job as a laboratory teaching assistant. I taught laboratories for non-biology majors for 2 years, which gave me the ability to explain the subject matter in a concise way that the students could understand. I also became proficient in making detailed lesson plans according to the curriculum suggested for each lab session. During my time as a teaching assistant, I also worked as an upper level biology tutor. I tutored majors and non-majors in Biology 103 (non majors), 110 (Biology I), and 111 (Biology II).
I have taught in many environments under many circumstances. My work as a geometry tutor for a 10th grade enabled me to learn to explore teaching methods that best suited him. As a TA, I reviewed conce ... read more

I believe each student needs to be met at their own level and to determine what they are finding challenging with the material they need help learning. Only by patience and respect can you gain a students attention. Learning takes repetition, but it also needs to be put in perspective so it makes sense to each student as to why they need to understand this material and how it well help them progress in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

The ability to learn new subjects and experiences has always been a passion in my life. I strive to excel and enjoy interacting with people of all ages. I am a very social and outgoing person, and I try to place myself in positions to be active with the community. Communication is very important in any endeavor, and I received a AS degree in Communication Arts in order to enhance those qualities. I then proceeded to earn a BS degree in Psychology, with a minor in Criminal Justice, due to my interest in understanding human behavior and social interaction. During the last seven years I have helped teach English, psychology, math, the arts, and many atheletic activities.
