A Little Bit About Me...

I practised law in Texas from 1966 until 2003 when I moved to Gainesville Florida with my family. I worked as a paralegal, parttime, for a lawfirm for awhile, then decided to take the Bar Exam in Florida. I took and passed the Florida Bar Exam in 2007. I became licensed as an attorney in Florida and am currently practicing law on a part-time basis. I am a real history buff, as well as politics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a former attorney, currently in work-release. The undercapitalization of my practice kept me from being able to withstand a series of family financial disasters, and I stole to make ends meet. For this, I take complete personal responsibility. I have been a good, hard worker for my entire life, and I respectfully ask for a second chance. Bonded to $10,000.00.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004 with a major in philosophy and a minor in geology. My overall GPA was 3.674/4.000. I enjoy using both sides of my brain, so to speak. Through philosophy, I mastered formalities of the English language and developed an aptitude for critical and logical thinking. Through geology, I focused on the practical through the application of mathematical and scientific concepts. I have tutored students in math, English, and the sciences. There is no subject area I can't tackle!
I enjoy helping others understand concepts that they are struggling with. It is very gratifying when a student has that "a ha" moment. I am a little strict with instruction. If a student is not paying attention or has not completed an assignment that I've asked him/her to do, I will not overlook it. I think that, in the interest of the end goal of improving grades, ... read more

I tend to use a hands on approach to teaching. I put learning in the perspective of the students life into an experience that he/she can relate to. I asses the level of clarity needed based on the students response and actions. I like to teach visually which also helps for memorization and repetition. I take as many breaks as necessary for the student so that they do not get frustrated or discouraged. I also make them feel comfortable with me as a teacher so that all questions and comments are highly suggested and welcome. I am very patient, easy going, and considerate. Lastly, I like to tutor at a place that is most comfortable for the student.
I am a graduate of the University of Florida and have been fortunate enough to excel in school throughout my life. I started tutoring in middle school and continued throughout my college career. I earned my bachelors degree in Accou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe education is very important and all children have the ability to learn. All children just need that extra push to take them to that next level. I am that person. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I believe in bringing new and exciting ways to learn and catch and keep children attention and interest. I am available to help your child succeed in their learning.
I just recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BS in Legal Studies and a minor in Sociology. While earning my degree I have retained many valuable skills such as writing, grammatical, and researching skills. I have a good understanding of math as well. My past experience with Big Brother Big Sister I worked as a mentor for elementary school girls where I tutored them in all subjects and found new ways to make learning a fun experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy teaching all ages. From my background in coaching young children how to swim I've become well adjusted to dealing with difficult situatioins in a learning environment. However, I always want to provide my students with the best learning environment possible. I'm extremely patient and I believe that a teacher should be willing to do whatever is possible to help their students understand the material and learn.
I graduated from Davidson College with a major in economics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of both math and social science. I tutored during my junior and senior years in North Carolina and I've also done private tutoring in Gainesville. In addition, I coached 4-12 year olds how to swim. If I can teach 4 year olds who are screaming and kicking how to swim I can teach someone math or ecnomoics.

More About This Tutor...

I use humor to bring the subject matter to life, and I help the student come to her/his own understanding through discussion of the course material, encouraging her/him to take an active role in learning. I am accustomed to working with students who believe that history is boring and/or challenging. I focus on major themes and relate the material to students' lives, rather than stressing rote memorization of dates and facts (although comprehension of reading material is important). In short, I leave students with a love for history, and I help students develop their writing and analytical skills.
I have taught as a Teaching Associate at the University of Florida since 2006, when I was admitted to candidacy. Before that I taught as a Teaching Assistant at U.F. I met one-on-one with students throughout this experience to advise or tutor them when extra help was needed. I also taug ... read more

I have worked as a substitute teacher in a wide variety of subject areas, and have volunteered as a tutor for some time. However, since beginning a PhD program at UF I have done neither. Though most substitutes are not much more than babysitters, I attempted to teach whatever subject matter was before the students. I regularly heard from students that they understood my way of explaining something better than they understood their regular teacher (though this by no means happened in every class). This happened most often in math and history courses. In my work as a lawyer (I was an assistant district attorney between law school and the PhD program) I honed my conciseness skills. I have prepared more academic papers than I care to recall during my eleven years (and counting) of higher education. My particular field of political science requires proficiency with higher math and statistic ... read more

I believe that my teaching style can be described as a patient mentor that is eager to share knowledge and provide a broad understanding of the importance of the material at hand. I am open to all different kinds of learning and enjoy working with different types of personalities. I am consciously aware that children are the future and hope to influence them in positive ways. In addition, I am also open to tutoring adults in a broad range of subjects including computer skills, business concepts, and the social sciences.
For the past two years I have worked for the City of Gainesville as a Recreation Aide I. The primary function of this position was to run an After School program for elementary students at one of the City's recreation centers. A central element to the program was tutoring services for the children conducted by the staff and university volunteers. Not only did ... read more

I graduated high school with a 5.4 GPA and AP credits. I graduated University of Florida with a 4.0 GPA, a minor, and with honors. I have many years of experience tutoring other students. I am very good at school work as shown by my GPA.
I like to adapt my teaching style to the the student. Every student learns differently, and I try to relate the information to the student based on their learning style rather than my teaching style.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former student and professional athlete, I am a very self-motivated person. From the University of Florida I earned a B.A. in History and a Minor in Education. Last year, I worked in the classroom as a substitute teacher on all three major levels of grade school education. In addition, I have been a supervisor and counselor at various camps which require long hours and spendig individual time with children.
I love teaching and working with children. I believe good communication is what makes life efficient. In my mind, good communication requires a positive, instructive, and detail manner. A better future requires a better education now, and how we pursue it is vital. Education empowers a mind, attitude empowers a lifestyle.

I hold an AA in Liberal Arts with emphasis on computer science. I am currently in pursuit of BS in Biomedical at the University of North Florida. As a result I am well versed in most areas of general education. My mathematic skills are well honed; my scientific knowledge covers biology, chemistry, physics and technology. In addition, I am able to write effectively, clearly and correctly. I was a member of the honors program Edison College and now also at UNF. I have developed a love of learning that coincides with a love of teaching.
I have an intuitive grasp of what an instructor is trying to accomplish. As a result I know how to target the key concepts in a way that combines the key ideas with peripheral ideas to produce not only a better grade, but a better understanding of the material. As a father I know children are quick learners and absorb information very readily but only ... read more

Teaching style depends on the student. Establishing rapport at the beginning of the sessions and taking the time to talk to each student one on one will set a good foundation for learning. I teach through discussion and have the student teach it back to me or another party to be sure they understand the problem. I am confident they will progress with this approach.
As a former probation officer in both the juvenile and adult population, I have worked on numerous community service projects and helped teach at risk youth life skills as well as assisting in acedemics. Additionally, I hold two degrees which has challanged me in the areas of reading and math. During this past year, I have tutored students from K-6 in the both reading and math. In addition, I have two boys of my own whom I continue to teach and monitor their progress.

My degree is in Financial Accounting. My teaching experience includes substitute teaching for high school level students in Computer Accounting, Business Math, Business English and Business Law. I taught all business classes in a position where the permanent teacher took a leave of absence for six months. I also volunteered at a senior center and taught computer classes. I have tutored college students in College Algebra and a student to take the CPA exam. At the present time I have piano students from the ages of seven to sixty-five. My eldest student is a retired principal.
When a student needs tutoring, there is a breakdown in the understanding of the subject. As a teacher, I find out the individual student’s thinking process and make it click for that particular subject. Quite often it is just a small portion of the process that is missing or the process does not make se ... read more
