More About This Tutor...

I have a teaching style which refer to as "narrative." All memorable education takes place in the context of its history and personal usefulness. Therefore, I show the student how a topic has affected people in the past and pull it into personal relevance. Discussion is crucial, not only for allowing the student to ask questions, but for me, the teacher to discover the personal learning style of the student.
Most of my adult life has been spent in the arena of teaching and mentoring. My undergraduate degree, a B.S. in Biology, was largely a platform for the many other courses taken in order to teach mathematics and sciences more effectively. Even after I had moved professionally from teaching to military chaplaincy, much of my focus has been on mentoring others. My range of personal experience is wide, having taught or tutored the range from basic mathematics to differential equati ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am competent with a variety of ages. With my counseling experience, I am able to foster a relationship with ease. I believe in making learning interesting and fun, while also expecting a high level of performance. I believe when you set a certain level of expectations, children strive to reach it. I have a background in chld development, so I feel I can tailor lesson plans that are age-appropriate.
As a graduate student, I have been able to gain profiency in many areas of math, English, psychology, and overall science. I have extensive experience in writing research papers, lab reports, essays in many various areas of study, and an in-depth clinical psychology thesis.

When I discovered how much I enjoy teaching I prepared myself to launch a second career. I earned a second degree and have almost completed my M.A. in History at USF. along the way, I have taught Latin and History to a wide variety of students from the sixth grade to college students. Throughout high school and college I have studied languages such as Spanish, French, Latin, and Classical Greek. Along with teaching a foreign language I have taught English since the study of any foreign language involves teaching the native language. From my experience writing almost two dozen research papers in my graduate studies at USF, I have practiced academic writing and can instruct students in the skills of research and writing as well as reading comprehension.
I feel that I am an empathetic teacher yet I hold my students to high standards of accomplishment. I try to bring a variety of mater ... read more

I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned in the lectures.
The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encourageme ... read more

While we obtain knowledge in different methods, the role of a successful educator is to ascertain that method and then nourish it. People want to demonstrate success and independence. Learning is achieved in a safe setting with a committment to growth. Teaching is successful through kindness, encouragement, humility and discipline. While some shutter at the word discipline, discipline is not scolding or punishing as it can often be sensationalized. Discipline derives from the Latin word discipuli meaning one who is taught, lead or mentored- a student. It would be my obligation as a tutor to lead an individual to their greatest capacity.
With a great passion for knowledge my personal quest was to achieve academic success. I earned my BA degree 2 minors in 3 1/2 years, and a 3 years masters program in 2 years,summa cum laude, with a flawless 4.0 grade point average. Over the ye ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firmly convince that all children can achieve the maximum of a classrom expectations if all, the methods, environment, and management, and dynamism are present. Finally great teachers can always be defined not by the amount of their experiences but by the difference they made in their student' lives.
As a foreign language graduate from USF I have achieved excellent credentialities from my former professor to obtain a post of assistantship at the same institution to teach undergraduate French level 1&2 for a period of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a journalist by trade. My love of writing began at an early age. A bachelor's degree in Theater immersed me in the works of Wiliam Shakespeare and from there I became fascinated with history and living history at that. I then obtained a Master's degree in Journalism to expand my skill set in both the English and Spanish languages. I have extensive experience working with bilingual students of all ages in the subjects of English-grammar,composition, literature. Spanish-grammar, conversational. History- World, Latin, American.
My teaching style is based on the premise that students want to learn and succeed. At times they are blocked in that endeavor by the level of difficulty, the complexities of a lesson or personal obstacles. It's my job as a tutor to find out what that hindrance is and help the student overcome it. I vary my teaching style based on the needs of the student.
