I like making things hands on if possible. I try to focus on what the student is struggling with rather then covering subjects that they understand. I have been tutoring for a few months already, mainly for sciences. I have 3 chemistry students and 2 biology students. I also have experience teaching groups. I was a teacher intern over the summer with breakthrough Miami. I taught 6th grade planetary science and Earth science. I am currently a marine biology student at FIU and am working in a lab that is testing whether the oil spill in the gulf is effecting deep sea communities in that area.

I'm qualified to tutor or teach because I have work and trainer experience since 1984. I've worked for the U.S. government, state and local government as well as non profit organizations, and retail industry. I have been privately tutoring and teaching since 1986. I'm qualified to tutor or teach computer programming because I have a certificate in computer programming from Prince George's Community College 2004. I have been privately tutoring and teaching computer programming since 2004. My tutoring method would be to find out what specific computer language they would like to learn. Provide resources they could use with the computer program so they can see it run on a real computer. I have a solid background in Math and tutoring kids from birth to college. I prefer tutoring using the "Coach approach" oppose to the "Expert approach". As a coach, I would focus on the student learni

Hello friends! I have served as an adjunct biology instructor at Nova Southeastern University since fall 2009, teaching introductory general biology to biology majors & non-majors during the fall & winter of 2009, the fall & winter 2010, & this current fall 2011 semester. During the winter & spring of 2011 I served as a private, in-home tutor for high school math & reading with the Tutoring in Your Home, LLC, an in-home tutoring company operating out of Ft Lauderdale, Florida. During the winter & spring of 2008 I developed an on-line course in introductory general biology for Atlantic International University an international, on-line university.

I feel that the most important step to being an effective teacher is to make the material relevant. If the student does not see a relevant reason to learn the material, the learning curve will be much steeper. Then, I work hard to be sure the student understands my commitment to partner with him/her in the learning process, and that process is a two-way street. And, once I've determined the method of learning that works best for a student, I design the material to accommodate that method. Once these goals are met, success is assured. My experiences as the oldest of seven children instilled in me the desire to educate others, so I obtained my BS degree in Biology and Secondary Education. I taught 7th and 8th grade sciences for five years before staying home to be a full time mother and substitute teaching on the high school level for 3 more years. I operated a small daycare during m

My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For instance if I found that a student learns better visually then I would attempt to use visual cues and examples in lesson plans to make the material as easy to understand as possible. I also believe in keeping a very loose and pleasant atmosphere, and making sure that everyone feels comfortable and safe, which I believe also assists in the learning process. My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up t

I am an experienced teacher that knows that all children have a different learning style. I am very patient, understanding, and motivated. I aim to provide your child with the best education possible in order to reach their full potential. I am a firm believer that children learn "by doing", hence I am a hands-on teacher that teaches children to think analytically and apply the concepts learned. I believe I make a positive difference in the lives of my students because I am passionate about my subject matter and enjoy being in the classroom. After earning a BA in Biology and Political Science I spent several years researching. I have been teaching biology at the high school level for the past 18 years and truly enjoy it. I am working on a master's degree in Early Childhood and Special Education at the University of Miami and curently I am teaching anatomy & physiology at a senior high sc

My teaching style is inquiry-based. I am always looking for ways to make learning fun by using a variety of hands-on, minds-on activities. I am very patient and have always been willing to give my students time to work through problems and address questions or concerns. I believe that all students have the ability to be successful if teachers are willing to take the time to address their interests and personal learning styles. I have a Ph.D. in Marine Science and a B.S. in Marine Science/Biology with a Chemistry minor. As graduate student at the University of South Florida, I was a NSF Teaching Fellow, teaching science in elementary, middle and high school classrooms. I have worked as a university assistant professor/instructor teaching courses in Environmental and Biological sciences. I also am the Chief Education Officer for SCUBAnauts International (SNI), which teaches science t

After completing a special project in the University working with children, I realized that my purpose in life was to nurture and educate children. Through education, I am able to not only raise certainty and self-esteem, but also prepare our younger generation academically for a successful and promising future. By observing and evaluating what your child needs to accomplish academic goals, I am able to provide that special attention and hands-on experience to help him/her achieve effective learning. An important ingredient that I use in successful teaching is to provide the child with study skills and tools along with vocabulary building for future academic success, those that he/she will take and use for the rest of their lives. At Florida International University, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Health Science and used that knowledge to complement my professional experience as a 6th

My teaching style is one that emphasizes energy, persistence and most importantly, self esteem. My career as a tutor has been marked by focusing on students' strengths, rather than their weaknesses, and insisting on their ability to achieve more than they previously thought they ever could. I believe that we are all teachers in some way or another, constantly teaching through our words, actions and sometimes even nonverbal messages. If a child does not have an environment at home that is conducive to learning, the encouragement of a single teacher at a classroom or library can change that child's entire attitude toward learning, and consequently, his/her whole life. I love to spend time with children, and motivate them to do and be better. Because I take a holistic approach to teaching, I know I am able to empower them by always reminding them of the big picture: that knowledge is power,

During the last eight years I have been affiliated with Florida International University, first as a master's student, then a PhD student, and now as a post-doctoral researcher in the biology department. As a graduate student at FIU, I taught biology labs for science majors, and I spent a year tutoring high school students in preparation for the SAT. I have also worked as a mentor to students in Latin America, serving as an advisor for their undergraduate honors theses. My teaching style is really an extension of my personality. As a teacher I maintain a relaxed, collaborative educational environment, but one where expectations are high. I try to make students move beyond memorization and get them to understand the task at hand. As a science teacher my goal was to make students think 'biologically', seeing the natural world as a place full of creative solutions to difficult problems

I have been teaching introductory & secondary level biology lecture & laboratory courses at Miami-Dade College for almost three years, beginning shortly after receiving my master's in biology (with a focus in ecology & botany) from Central Missouri State University. I would like to share my academic knowledge with all students, whether they have a passion for science or not. I feel that all students can learn, if given the proper skills. With patience and proper guidance, any student can succeed.
