A Little Bit About Me...

I have a lot of hands on in the field of Biology and Marine Biology. I have volunteered with a number of wildlife sanctuaries. I was a veterinary technician for 3 years, and thus know a good deal of animal anatomy and physiology. I have assisted my friend, who is a middle school biology teacher, with her class lessons.

One on one tutoring style--I provide one on one tutoring sessions that include the use of a variety of instructional strategies including worksheets, workbooks, sight words, vocabulary, Venn diagrams and charts, flash cards, compositions and educational websites. Group tutoring is available that would involve using the same instructional strategies, but the instruction would take place in a group setting of 2 or more students and could involve the Jigsaw method which involves all students collaborating together to achieve academic skills.

I try to keep the material fresh and I avoid boredom and repetition at all costs. One of my best tools to connect with a young person is through humor. If the student feels relaxed they are more likely to absorb the information. I also use reverse psychology to turn the tables so they actually find themselves teaching me the material. This has been a successful tool with children I have mentored as well as my own children.
I began teaching/tutoring while in graduate school. I tutored undergrads in sociology, psychology, and social statistics. I also taught driver's education to high school students while in grad school. After ten years working in law enforcement, I switched to social services and I have been mentoring children in foster care for the past twenty years.

As a highly modivated individual, I have committed to being a life long learner. I completed my BS Criminal Justice online in 3 years. My desire to teach and educate children has remained with me. I have obtained a temporary certification in Elementary Education and will graduate from the Alternative Certification Program at PJC in 2010 and will be eligible for a Professional Certification in Elementary Education. I have experience tutoring students at the elementary level in grades K, 1, and 2nd. I tutored the students in reading and math. Also, I developed progress reports and held monthly meetings with parents.
My teaching style would be student centered. I love to incorporate hands on, creative learning activities in my lesson plans. Also, I relate my lessons to real life experiences. I will assess my students on a regular basis to ensure they are understanding the content.

More About This Tutor...

While biology has remained my main passion, I have learned that a good understanding of all subjects is necessary to succeed in academics. A scientist cannot replicate an experiment if they can’t read the papers or understand the statistics used. For this reason, when I teach, I emphasize the practice of multiple skills to achieve understanding in any one subject. I focus on teaching techniques that work well with all types of learners, particularly hands-on activities. It is my belief that learning should be exciting, not a tedious chore. I strive to foster this enthusiasm in my students.
I have a deep passion for the sciences so my bachelor’s degree in biology was a natural fit. I discovered while working in a graduate program that I also love to teach. I had the opportunity to teach real world science to high school students, which I enjoyed immensely. I learned a lot about diff ... read more

I believe that education is the key to success in life. No matter what your social level, getting an eduation is the highway that leads to a better way of life. Education forms the building blocks of a better person. I am a "visual" learner myself, but I understand that there are many methods of teaching, and the goal of a teacher is to find the right method for each student.
My Bachelor’s degree is in Business Organizational Management. I have taken graduate courses in accounting and computer science. I consider myself a perpetual student, possessing a constant desire to learn new things. I am a well-organized, detail-oriented, and trustworthy individual.

There are many buzz words and phrases applied to teachers and teaching styles. While I perfectly respect all of these new theories and methods of both teaching and learning, it must not be forgotten that each student is unique in their style and commitment. Otherwise, they would not need tutoring! Creativity and patience are the keys to discovering the specific style that best suites the student. That being said, I do of course have a "style". My sessions are incredibly interactive and student driven. If a student can learn to voice their questions as well as the newly learned answer, they will not only master the topic on hand, but prepare them for higher education. Communication and interaction will always be key.
Tutoring and teaching have always come quite naturally; the ability to see the struggle from the student's perspective, and recognizing the demand for creative explanat ... read more

I began my college experience as a biology major. During my studies I found that my true love was not in the field of biology, it was in the field of teaching. I have experience with a varity of learner levels including regular education and special education. My experience also includes a variety of age levels between elementary and middle school. I am currently a middle school teacher and I have taught a variety of subjects. I have taught reading, science, history, language arts, math, and learning strategies. My experience in learning strategies has helped me discover the unique ways in which each individual is able to learn.
I believe that every child can learn. My job as a teacher and tutor/mentor is to discover which way will work best with each student. I am very patient and easy going. I believe in a reward system for all students. If students have something to wo ... read more

I have a BA in Philosophy/Religious Studies and I also studied Environmental Science with over 40 credit hours. Due to this wide range of studies, I have strong skills in both reading and writing, as well as in math and science. During my college experience I tutored my peers and for the last two years I have been a Sunday School Teacher and a Youth Pastor. I have also spent time as a volunteer tutor for homeschooling students.
I have always had a strong desire to learn and to teach. I work hard and I am diligent to complete a task. My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on th ... read more

I believe children learn the best when they can relate it to their own lives. Each student has the capacity to learn and to excel if they have positive reinforcement and success. I believe my success comes from knowing my students and what makes them "tick". I have a son that is 7 and has ADHD. It is a challenge for me and my husband to keep him focused and on task. Sometimes, I think children can learn better from someone else other than their parents.
I was a substitute teacher for 3 years before becoming a full time teacher. My BS is in Environmental Science and I am certified to teach grades 5-9 in Science. I am currently in my 4th year of teaching at Pine Forest High School. In addition, I have attended many conferences on increasing FCAT scores in reading and science.I teach with a Co-teacher and have approximately 5-8 students in each class that have learning disabilities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love the written word and reaching people, so I ultimately chose to major in journalism. My love for teaching and instructing students led me to pursue my minor in education. In the past three years, I've tutored undergraduates in writing (grammar, composition, etc), graduate students (editing theses), proofing resumes and technical documents, and tutoring elementary and high school students in reading and basic math.
College students are difficult to work with because they think they know it all. This was a blessing in disguise because it taught me not only to learn different ways to tutor a student, but also to figure out through body language and little signals as to whether or not they were actually comprehending the information. Teaching is not just giving information and hoping they retain it. My teaching style consists of teaching, asking questions to ensure they know or u ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy mentoring and tutoring students one on one. I am considered by those who know me to be a patient person with the skills needed to explain sometimes confusing subject material in an understandable and interesting way. I enjoy the biology field for its broadness and openness. It is a field with a lot of potential for finding something you love and I take great pride in opening students eyes through teaching and learning.
I have received both Bachelors of Science and Masters of Science degrees from UWF. I have worked in a microbiology and molecular biology research lab since 2004, first as an undergraduate student and now as a research associate. I have mentored approximately 10 students that have worked in our lab and frequently find myself assisting them with their schoolwork outside of work. I have had extensive coursework in biology and have understand the practical applic ... read more

I have taught in many environments under many circumstances. My work as a geometry tutor for a 10th grade enabled me to learn to explore teaching methods that best suited him. As a TA, I reviewed concepts that helped reiterate important biological facts. Because my boss was a Biology Education specialist, she taught us teaching methods like hands-on activities and an inquisitive teaching style that makes concepts stick. For outreach, I acted as a museum docent to groups of students (K-12), catering each exhibit to the age level of each group. I also worked as a science summer camp counselor. These experiences have enabled me to learn my own teaching style and understand the best methods for each age group, kids to young adults.
During my sophomore year in college, I tutored a 10th grader in geometry for two semesters. I also tutored him and one of his peers for one semester in Alge ... read more
