Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Haines City, FL

I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanities are not difficult. Actually, while my education has been primarily in the Humanities, the material I see the most in tutoring is Algebra and Geometry! I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor which puts

During my year as an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Earth Ethics Institute, a non-profit organization at Miami Dade College, I was responsible for the successful execution of five high-profile programs. I strengthened my ability to multitask and was able to effectively implement each program’s components at their full potential and capabilities. I became accustomed to working independently under strict deadlines and overseeing many service-learning college students who assisted with events. As many of these service-learners regarded me as a role-model, I committed myself to bringing out their full potentials while mentoring them through their college experiences. I was considered the unofficial technological assistant of my workplace due to my proficiency at Microsoft Office and my ability to work at an exceedingly fast pace. In addition to this, my co-workers often request that I overvie

I teach Anatomy and Physiology Honors as well as Biology Honors in County Schools. I graduated from University of South Florida with a Bachelor’s of Science in Secondary Science Education. My coursework included upper level Biology/Math courses such as Cell Biology, Genetics, and Calculus as well as education classes where I studied topics like educational philosophy. Additionally as an undergraduate I had the opportunity to work as a tutor in several high-need Middle and High schools in the County. As an educator, I truly believe that all students can be successful in science. Furthermore, I strive to instill an appreciation for both science and learning by creating tasks that challenge students' thinking while providing appropriate support for each student.

Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I &

The last four years I have tutored at risk teenagers for a NY public school district. I also tutored privately. In NY I was a substitute teacher for K-12 which gave me experience in the different subject levels pursuant to each grade. Prior to NY, I was employed by Orange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida where I taught both 8th grade and 9th grade classes. I currently hold a temporary certificate with Florida and am finishing my Master's. My certificate is in General Science 5-9 but I have tutored other subject areas sucessfuly as well including GED prep and FCAT prep. My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to

I graduated with a BS in theology because I felt it was interesting as much as it was challenging! A reason for this is because I've always helped youth in a para-ministry setting (volunteer/paid) and found a knowledge of Theology helped a great deal. I worked for a non-profit organization off and on for a total of close to 4 years. For approx 3 of those 4 years, I worked in a private school setting with Jr. high and Sr. high students. My role was to protect, inspire, and tutor students so to achieve an education sometimes earlier than anticipated (they sometimes would get their diploma early). I have tutored in English, Math(Alg I or lower), Science, History. My teaching style is "one-on-one" for the most part. My first instinct with tutoring is empathetic: if I were struggling in this particular subject, what would be the best way for me to understand it? If this method proves ineffect

Teaching is my passion, and the 24 years of teaching experience have taught me great lessons. I have always felt a sense of pride and satisfaction of a job well done. For me it is an investment made in each child for a lifetime. For me teaching is the most rewarding profession, as I see the progress in each child that I have taught and worked hard with, for a whole year. I am patient and believe that every child is different and so their needs and ability to learn also vary. I love to work with children.I will do my best to teach and help the child who needs guidance to achieve excellence in academics. My goal is to see the children be great achievers. And I give it my all to see that happen. I am an Educator and I have a Masters in Science and a Bachelor's in Education, all from India. I am pursuing my Master's in Education here. I have classroom teaching experience for 24 yea

Teaching is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I have extensive experience teaching languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French), social sciences and music. I have been gainfully employed as an interpreter, a professor, a tutor, a marketing manager, an editor, an immigration specialist, and now as in-house counsel for a major U.S. bank. This eclectic and fulfilling professional background is the natural product of an insatiable curiosity and exceptional linguistic talent. In addition to a minor in Spanish and a certificate in Latin American Studies, I have bachelor degrees with honors and distinction in History and English from the University of Iowa. Furthermore, I recently graduated in the top 12% of my class with honors and distinction from the University of Iowa law school in 2003. I have also studied languages, social science topics and law in South America and Europ

I believe that every student learns differently, and I work hard to adapt my teaching style to each individual student and subject. Through examples, modeling, and asking the student questions, I hope to guide students to be able to eventually working out difficult concepts on their own. This can help increase a student's self-esteem, which I believe should always be a key goal of teaching. I try to impart the passion I have for learning (especially in the sciences) to all my students, and I try to counteract the frustration towards school and learning that can be felt by struggling students. I earned my bachelor's degree in Biology in a general biology program consisting of a wide range of courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. During the course of earning this degree, I twice served as a teacher's assistant for a lower division biology class. I also participated

Each student has a unique learning style, and it is my goal to learn what that style is and to teach him/her how to master the material accordingly. I am a strong believer in a hands-on approach to science and math. People learn best by experience. Although having book knowledge is important to understanding the basic principals, hands-on experience will help students better master the material. I have a BS degree in Marine Science and a MS degree in Fisheries Ecology. I currently work full-time as a biologist with the State of Florida. I have taught evening biology and environmental science classes at the local community college. I have extensive knowledge in the biological sciences and mathematics; hence, I am equipped to teach upper-level high school and college-level biology and related sciences (e.g., ecology, environmental science, marine biology) and mathematics, including sta

I have completed all of the academic requirement for my masters and will graduate with my masters in social work from University of Central Florida College of Health and Public Affairs, School of Social Work, in December 2009. I am a member of the National Scholars Honor Society, and will graduate Magna Cum Laude. Prior to and during college, I had the opportunity to tutor an array of different students. At Pepperdine University, I studied sociology, yet due to the liberal arts foundation of the school, I took many diverse classes. Over the past seven years, I have tutored predominantly in English, social sciences, history, math, and science. I struggled with learning in elementary and middle school and it was not until high school and college that I began to love to learn. Through my own experiences, I have realized how important it is to have a teacher act as a guide to encourage gr
