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 in a

I am currently a senior at FSU, due to graduate this fall 2010, with a dual major in philosophy, minor in English; and political science, minor in psychology. After I complete my degree I hope to go on to graduate school and law school. Where I intend to focus my research and efforts in the field of civil and social advocacy. I believe that the only way to a better future for humanity is education. Due to the rigorous reading and writing requirements of my studies I have developed excellent skills both in verbal and written communication. For the past several years while I worked to complete my degrees I tutored fellow classmates in the areas of statistics, psychology, English, philosophy, natural sciences and social studies. Having a minor in psychology gives me a unique approach to teaching and dealing with children. I have taken several classes dealing with human cognitive and psycho

I believe that every child can succeed with strategies to support their learning. My experience with students who do not know English and children who have disabilities, has really given me the opportunity to learn strategies to help all types of children learn. I have a proven record of helping struggling students to raise their FCAT scores. My number one priority when tutoring for the past ten years has been to motivate and get children interested in school. Many students need a little help with organizational skills, and after that, I show them how much fun learning can be! After transferring from the classroom to the State, I really miss working with kids, and the satisfaction of seeing a student's face when they really “get it.” I have been passionate about teaching for as long as I can remember. I earned both my Bachelor and Master degrees in the field of Education, plus I am apply

I love using fun interactive games to help facilitate learning. Singing songs that get children to count and spell. Memorization games, like telephone or memory tag. Its my experience that the more engaged you keep students, the more they will retain information. In my 4 years experience as a camp counselor and tutor I have found that keeping an open mind and always spotting opportunities for children to learn and experience growth is the best style for teaching. As a gifted student in my primary education, I always excelled in consuming the world around me through knowledge. I wanted to share my love of information with others. My favorite subject is Black and African History. I decided to major in those fields at Florida State University. During my studies Ive gained experience in tutoring SES Students at Cheney Elementary School, then I decided to become a camp counselor in the summer

If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way to combat the growing trend of disproportionate teacher/student ratios, and I look forward to providing the kind of personalized instruction every student deserves. Moreover, after years of interpreting and teaching the lesson plans of other teachers, I've developed a talent for gauging their expectations, and can help those students I tutor learn to do the same. As a poet, recent MFA graduate, literary magazine editor, substitute teacher, and college writing instructor, I’ve spent the better part o

I love working with students, and I have an affinity for those students that are hard to reach, as well as those with learning disabilities. As a student with ADHD myself, I have patience for their difficulties. I have great patience with the students, as I want them to learn and experience education. I enjoy working with real world information so that students can see how what they are learning will benefit them outside of the classroom. I believe that education is much more than simply learning, as it also relates to building a relationship with the student so that they trust what you are teaching them. While in Undergraduate School, I was a tutor in the Florida A&M University Chemistry Lab. This was my employment for my last year of Undergraduate Studies. After graduation, I taught for two years at an inner-city high school in Tallahassee, where I taught Chemistry, Chemistry Honors, a

I have proven to myself and others to be patient, optomistic, and trustworthy. My approach to learning is strategic. All teachers should have a plan and follow through with it. I enjoy instructing and guiding, academically. Tutoring, mentoring, and teaching all go together and I have been blessed to be experienced in all three.

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests.

I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the subject and retain it in the long run. I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor. In addition to my strong communication skills, I also experienced a unique high school experience, so I find it easy to relate to students who pref

I really enjoy teaching and working with students and continue to develop new ways to make learning fun and engaging. Focusing on each student independently, I differentiate instruction based on each individual's learning style.

I believe in a fun and relaxed approach to learning, but maintain a focus and discipline I feel is required to achieve academic success. I have been working with youth for over ten years.
