More About This Tutor...

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

Tutoring By Sam! Core Studies Tutor with over 13 years Exp!

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 student, it does not necessarily mean it will work for another. In the first few session I test a small variety of applicable teaching methods and adapt them as time goes on.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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. :)

My teaching style is positive, resourceful, and uses multi-media whenever necessary. I encourgae my students to seek their own answers and guide them on how to reach their learning goals.

More About This Tutor...

The thing I love most about teaching is opening up someones eyes to something new and seeing the "wow" look on their faces. Sometimes certain subject matter is not always easy for a person to learn. I've always appreciated the teacher that went out of their way with a great amount of patience to make sure I understood. I take a lot from the amazing teachers I've had and would hope to be able to pass that on.
I began my higher education at Tallahassee Community College in 1997. After receiving my AA Degree I transferred to F.S.U where I majored in Criminology with a minor in Spanish and graduated in 2003. Since that time, I've worked as a legal assistant/paralegal with different law firms in town. Recently, I decided to return to school and received my certificate in Massage Therapy.

More About This Tutor...

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. This is where I feel I differentiated myself from my classmates and colleagues. I have been successful with my students because I take the time to get to know a student’s strengths, weaknesses and interests. If my student is excited to come talk to me about one of their hobby’s, that means to me they are excited to come learn and grow as a student and a person. Most recently as a College Reach Out Program (CROP) mentor I have developed un-motivated students into happy and driven students and to me there is no greater gift.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that to engage and educate children requires a personal, hands-on, and creative teaching style. I recognize that everyone learns differently. However, I believe that a child can learn anything if he/she sees the connection between the information and their daily life. I am patient and open-minded. I don't mind working hard for results. The best way to cover information is by showing all sides of it. I believe in developing trust within the teacher-student relationship. I try to make the learning environment as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
My experience with children and education are linked through my travels. I worked in a day care in Asheville North Carolina. I also volunteered at a mosque when I lived in London. I visited many schools when I went to Morocco. I am a student at Florida State University, working for a double-major in Creative Writing and Middle ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests.
The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best ... read more

I believe that the relationship between student and teacher is one between equals, and that each must actively work together in order to accomplish a student's goals. This educational relationship and teaching style is heavily influenced by the Fine Arts and other creative pursuits that also maintains a strong hold on basic concepts in every subject. My role as a tutor, therefore, is to find each student's particular learning style in order to communicate fundamental knowledge in a subject, while also giving them the critical thinking and problem solving skills that will allow them to grow and enlarge their educational experience far beyond any single tutoring session.

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 psychological development, and I bring that knowledge with me when I teach. I am patient and understanding. I realize that every child is unique, and that the best method for successfully learning is one that is narrowly tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. Education is the variable that is most highly correlated with future success, and should be our top priority if we wish to offer our children the best opportunity to succeed. I will be that advocate your child needs, ensuring that she or he receive every advantage that a first class education can offer.

If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way to combat the growing trend of disproportionate teacher/student ratios, and I look forward to providing the kind of personalized instruction every student deserves. Moreover, after years of interpreting and teaching the lesson plans of other teachers, I've developed a talent for gauging their expectations, and can help those students I tutor learn to do the same.

Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations. A's in school are just a by-product. I seek the real thing, which may not be found in this lifetime, in these bodies, with these minds, but I seek it anyway.
Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to s ... read more

I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the subject and retain it in the long run.
I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor. In addition to my strong communication skills, I also experienced a unique high school experience, so I find it easy to relate to students wh ... read more
