Some of the things I will help you with are: develop a realistic and efficient study plan, help you with MCAT specific test strategies, and guide you through any of the science content that you need help understanding. I am familiar with all of the listed topics found within the 10 Foundational Concepts defined by the AAMC (the organization that writes the MCAT).

I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with children. Especially those that are from low income families and different cultures. I have volunteered tutoring children after school. Additionally, I have taken several classes about learning styles, teaching styles, and study skills to improve my own academic achievement. This allows me to better communicate information in the different ways needed. Following, I have experience working with children with learning disabilities, particularly autism. I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the tim

I consider myself an empathetic and patient teacher of children and young adults. I believe that all children can learn and that it is incumbent upon the educator to strive to find what motivates the individual to achieve greater heights. To this end, the teacher must be a communicator who appreciates the importance of meeting the pupil wherever he is academically and help him to better understand his potential. As a Substance Abuse Program Case Manager, I conducted psycho-educational group sessions related to addiction/recovery issues and worked in a juvenile’s detention/commitment program. In adult corrections, I facilitated Addiction Treatment Counseling and Life Skills groups. When I worked in the foster care system, I taught Independent Living Skills to youth who were transitioning out of the system. All of these positions required extensive record-keeping duties and demanded strong

My experiences have given me opportunity to teach/tutor students of different ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic statuses. At all levels, however, I have realized that all students are capable of success. The key to being an effective teacher/tutor is finding a way to engage the student so that they are active in the learning process. This will most likely differ from student to student, however knowing the variety of methods to try is an advantage of those with experience. Whether discussions, writing, critical thinking questions, or modeling is used, students will respond differently. Being able to effectively evaluate which process works best for the student is what separates the good teachers from the great teaches. As a recent Political Science honors graduate, I have a strong background in writing and critical thinking. At Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL I was part of the p

I have been working with children ages 3-14 since I was 15 years old. I spent my summers working as a summer camp counselor.

Together we read books at their specific reading levels and played games to that allowed them to build better reading and writing skills. After working with children for several years, I believe that every child can learn and do great as long as they are shown patience, compassion, and are rewarded for their good work and improvement.

I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the correct direction. I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT.

I spent some time in college tutoring other students in subjects such as mathematics and Hebrew. I was asked by the academic support office to tutor because my advisor knew I was a committed student with a strong knowledge of many subjects. I was honored to be thought of in such a way. I did well with my students and they respected me. I was serious about accomplishing the tasks at hand when I met with them and the overall reflection in their grades showed very positive results. I am an excellent choice if you are looking for a tutor who is hard working, intelligent, and devoted to helping his students really grasp the concepts at hand. I consider myself to be a very good people person. I have a way of relating to the students that I'm helping. As mentioned above, my students respect me and see that I am serious and focused on helping them succeed in their studies. I look forward to

I will be graduating from UF this fall semester with a degree in marketing and mass communication. Although I am young, I have had some experience in teaching, as I have worked as a tutor during the summer. I have also served as a tutor at the University of Florida in all math related topics. I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and I am a registered substitute teacher. I have always been a diligent student, as my transcript can attest, and I have a passion for teaching anyone, especially in the areas of mathematics, economics, English, and writing. My teaching style embodies a combination of individualism and structure. Before I teach any subject, I dissect the topic to get to the fundamental root that may cause difficulties in learning. I break down the problem into a simple nature so that students can understand the logical reasoning of how to solve any problem. I believe

My teaching style is largely based on my learning style. I am a very fast learner and I decipher the big picture and the essential concepts of a subject or problem before looking into the details. While in business college, I am constantly tutoring fellow classmates and peers. Tutoring is very rewarding to me because I can be a part of each student's success.

My teaching style is very hands on. I believe that children learn best when they are afforded the opportunity to learn through a tangible means. I enjoy learning, and therefore try to instill that same appreciation for learning in those in which I have had the opportunity to teach. The most important lesson that I teach any of my students is related to helping them discover the ways in which they learn best. Only then can the ongoing process of learning begin. As a recent combined degree student from the University of Florida I have simultaneously pursued both Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Health Education at the University of Florida. I have also managed to obtain an overall grade point average of 3.5. I am also a recipient of the President's Award as a result of obtaining a 4.0 semester grade point average during my last semester. I have conducted obesity research for the College of
