Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Havana, FL

I have a good experience of tutoring hundreds of students over a decade period of time. I have tutored from first grade student to bachelors' degree students. I have formally taught students from grades four to ten for six months as a science teacher. Recently, I helped my wife in Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Lab and College Algebra. She got straight A's in them upgrading her GPA. Most importantly, my tutoring helped my students to uplift their self-esteem, confidence and to accept learning as a process which can be made more pleasant and simple. :)

I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the student becomes engaged in the learning process. I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Voluntee

I have been working with students in both one-on-one and group settings for going on 14 years. I began tutoring groups of children at an inner city after school program in Language Arts and Reading Comprehension. I went into further training at my high school and became a designated math tutor for those in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry. After high school I revisted my loved for tutoring at Jefferson County Community College where I tutored Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Study Skills. Throughout the years I have tutored a variety of students in various areas through freelance work, tutoring groups, and volunteer work. I have been trained to work with those who have ADD, ADHD, Asperger's and dyslexia by both lecture classes and field work. I gear my teaching style to the individual I am working with. In 14 years I have learned that even though a method may work for one stude

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 achieved an AA degree at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. I am currently continuing my education at Florida State University where I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Biology. I will graduate in Spring of 2010. After, I will continue to Dental School to become a dentist. I enjoy teach with all different age levels. Most recently, I taught 4th grade science through the FSU Teach Program. It was fun and really showed me how to teach students and make the lessons engaging and fun. Its important to keep the child focused. My goal is to make sure a student learns something new everyday that she/he will remember.

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 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

For three years at Florida State University I was enrolled in an excellent teacher education program. At the end of the program I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Social Science Education. While at Florida State University I received three certifications, Social Science Education (6-12), Professional Educator for (All Grades) and Integrated Curriculum (5-9). Obtaining the Integrated Curriculum certification made it so I can be certified to mentor and tutor students in all major subjects. Since then I have worked with multiple young students on both strengthening their education and building character. I feel that I develop not only better students, but better young men and women. Each student learns in their own way and sometimes that way is not in a classroom setting. A teacher to me is someone who has developed a way to make each student understand the subject matter.

Summary of Experience I have taught for the last three years (2005-2008) at an Elementary school in Palm Beach County. I taught third grade. This is the grade level where students are expected to pass the Reading portion of the FCAT test in order to be promoted to the next grade. Therefore, one of my main responsibilities was to maintain records of the students’ progress. Prior to that, I was a substitute teacher in Broward County at the elementary level. My spouse was transferred to Tallahassee this year, and this is what brought me here. At the moment I volunteer at the Leroy Collins Public Library as an ESOL (English as a Second Language) tutor. I am currently certified in the state of Florida in Elementary Education (K-12, and Spanish.

I am a student centered teacher. I like to use activities that encourage and motivate the student to explore the problem. I am a patient and encouraging person. I also like to show an emphasis on creative explorations of problems and using problem solving as a unique means to discovery. All children can learn math well, it is only a matter of finding out the best way to learn. I feel that the difference between a child's potential and ability is good instruction. I am a student a middle school math education major at FSU here in Tallahassee. I am currently a senior who is set up to graduate at the end of the year. The FSU program is a well respected one with several accreditations. I come from a diverse background in mathematics.

I have excellent writing and editing skills as well as experience tutoring all ages in a variety of subjects. I have a love for education that I would like the chance to pass on to others. I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize.

I believe that all children are special and have unique learning needs. There is nothing better than watching a child have an "ah-ha!" moment. Sometimes a child (or an adult!) needs a little help to make that connection though. I enjoy the challenge of finding what works for each child. I am a creative individual and take the time to research and experiment with different teaching methods. I believe in positive reinforcement and in putting the student in a position to succeed. In my experience, teaching has been a privilege and a joy! As a newlywed and young mother, I decided to pursue an education degree at the University of Florida. I maintained a 3.85 grade point average. While at the University, I discovered a passion for helping children reach their educational goals. I have spent the last seven years instructing my children.
