Earth Science is one of my top subjects!

I taught an Introductory Geology lab for 2 years. I have been tutoring out side of that for the last year or so. I have tutored elementary students all the way up to college students. One of the elementary students I tutored had ADHD. The subjects I have prominently tutored are math and science. Although I am confident in English as well.

Super tutor!

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 Vo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 20 years experience in the marines, so I have a no nonsense approach to teaching and tutoring. My own two children (boys, now grown) will tell you that despite my military bearing, I am patient and understanding with kids. I believe the best way to teach children (or anyone) is to create the conditions that will encourage and allow them to teach themselves. I believe that adults model for children continuously. Children mimic our thought processes and our problem solving techniques. We teach best through example. My goal has always been to give children the tools and self-confidence to think and explore for themselves. I model self-confidence and creative problem solving. I encourage kids to ask questions and develop the skills for finding the answers. I mentor as much as I tutor.
I have always excelled in school. My master's degree GPA is 3.8. my undergraduate degree GPA is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate and substituting, I am driven to become a proud member of the Masters program in Education. I have extensive experience on school improvement committees and after-school activities/programs. I have years of experience teaching grades K-12. I want to obtain the position of tutor where I am able to utilize my 12 years of experience in teaching/guiding children in subjects like math's, English, Science, Computers and arts. I have assisted teachers in all subjects and assisted with Biology which is taught to juniors and seniors who have excelled in the introductory Biology courses.
I have learned that teaching is the activity of educating or instructing. It is the process of imparting knowledge or skill. It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. Teaching is about ... read more

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My role as a teacher is one where I facilitate a process of discovery. When a concept is presented in a lesson, it is followed by practice. In my class, there is room for risk-taking, and the mistakes only help to clarify the idea or concept. I approach the teaching of Reading as a Whole Language process, and also as a set of applied skills. Even though phonics, vocabulary, context clues, and other skills are important, reading for meaning is the ultimate goal.
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 ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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. Th ... read more

I have had much education, reading is one of my favorite things to do. Although I was a science major, I did teach throughout my masters degree. Teaching is never simple, there are so many things to learn. I do believe that I would be capable of teaching pretty much anything, and I am very good with children. I can provide any references that you will need.
I am a firm believer that one must want to learn in order to be taught. That "want" can be learned over time, and the desire to pass on knowledge and be caring, considerate, and nurturing is part of my makeup. I really love hanging out with kids and seeing the beautiful, innocent way that their minds work. I would love to play a role in making someones life better, and giving the start for productivity.Every child is like a blank slate, and the experiences they have early on make a huge difference.

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. I have also been involved in Supplement Educationa ... read more
