Understanding Western/Eastern Politics, Language, & Culture

Prior to serving in the United States Army, I was a successful entrepreneur in NJ. In 2003, I was recruited and after serving I returned to train troops at the Infantry Training Brigade at Fort Benning, GA. After returning home, I began working at a financial firm and became a licensed Investment Advisor and Asset Manager. I ran the Manasquan Edward Jones branch office until deciding to return to school. I studied Political Science at the University of Florida completing their International Relations program Cum Laude. Studies in International Relations focused on the international global economy, international agencies, national security, international political theory, and other aspects of public policy. I received minors in History and Chinese Language & Business Culture. While studying the Chinese Mandarin language, I became an asset to my Chinese counterparts (and visa versa) to gai ... read more

I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004 with a major in philosophy and a minor in geology. My overall GPA was 3.674/4.000. I enjoy using both sides of my brain, so to speak. Through philosophy, I mastered formalities of the English language and developed an aptitude for critical and logical thinking. Through geology, I focused on the practical through the application of mathematical and scientific concepts. I have tutored students in math, English, and the sciences. There is no subject area I can't tackle!
I enjoy helping others understand concepts that they are struggling with. It is very gratifying when a student has that "a ha" moment. I am a little strict with instruction. If a student is not paying attention or has not completed an assignment that I've asked him/her to do, I will not overlook it. I think that, in the interest of the end goal of improving grades, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with students. I believe all students can learn and be successful with the right combination of commitment and training. Because of a student’s previous environment and training, some require more attention and assistance than others. I am available to help your child achieve academic success in the areas of accounting, finance, economics, general math, statistics and various other business related courses. My goal is to help your child develop the confidence and ability that they need to be academically successful. I believe all children can achieve academic success if they are motivated, confident, and interested in the material being taught.
I have acquired over 20 years of accounting and finance work experience in business and government. Also, I taught college level business courses at Bethune Cookman University for 12 years. I have earned a BA i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I seek to help all students gain confidence in their writing and reading abilities. I have helped students in honing these skills in order to use writing for discovery, for organization, planning, and forethought, and for critical thinking. I find engaged teaching to be a wonderful experience, especially one-on-one and in small groups. Students usually direct my teaching style because I am present mainly to facilitate learning and to act as a guide.
I have taught writing at the college level for more than eight years. I have taught at two state universities, one of the top ten community colleges in the US, and a private technical college. I have taught both remedial and pre-college English, English 101, English 102, American Literature, Creative Writing, Technical Communication, and Writing for Management. I can help with study skills, with master plans, and with reading com ... read more

I graduated from Davidson College with a major in economics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of both math and social science. I tutored during my junior and senior years in North Carolina and I've also done private tutoring in Gainesville. In addition, I coached 4-12 year olds how to swim. If I can teach 4 year olds who are screaming and kicking how to swim I can teach someone math or ecnomoics.
I really enjoy teaching all ages. From my background in coaching young children how to swim I've become well adjusted to dealing with difficult situatioins in a learning environment. However, I always want to provide my students with the best learning environment possible. I'm extremely patient and I believe that a teacher should be willing to do whatever is possible to help their students understand the material and learn.

In every subject I am qualified to tutor I have taken high school, college, graduate, and/or professional courses and earned at least a "B+" (91%), with exceptions only for attendance points being removed due to chronic health issues.  In addition, I have tutoring experience at both the high school and college level.  Every student has given me the highest evalution possible to my superiors. Finally, I have professional experience in both personal use and the teaching of written communication, oral communication, photography, and internet and networking setup. It is my practice and continued goal to use all of these experiences to best suit you or your student's learning needs.
Every subject has its own teaching style, yet there are some consistencies throughout. I teach based on how the student learns. This may require adapting typical styles to meet the individual studen ... read more

I believe that the key to academic success lies in developing a personal passion for any given subject area; I live to share my passion for knowledge with others. I am authentic, intuitive, and calm. I feel that all persons can learn any subject provided sufficient internal motivation. As much as possible, knowledge should be discovered in a relevant manner so as to ensure a continued interest. Sometimes all a student needs is that little spark, and I aim to provide it.
I have gained tutoring experience as a volunteer tutor at Bartow High School, treating Spanish, math, and the sciences. Additionally, while serving as a Troop Guide for Troop 500 of the Boy Scouts of America, I had the opportunity to teach younger peers an assortment of survival skills.

Although my undergrad degree is not the most prevailing, I have strong abilities in math. I have tutored many individuals throughout my life. My experience is approximately a year and a half. I have tutored elementary and middle school level math and science as a private tutor with great appreciation and prevalence of achieving goals for my students. My BA degree required math skills in statistics I and II. I also did exceptional on my SAT, GRE, and IB Math scores. My undergrad course work has given me an upper hand in constructing concepts when forming research papers as well as producing correct grammar and structure throughout my writing.
Teaching is important to every individual no matter what age. The learning experience is never-ending. Children are very important to me as they are the future. Also if it weren't for my wonderful teachers I would have hated the academic proce ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught as a Teaching Associate at the University of Florida since 2006, when I was admitted to candidacy. Before that I taught as a Teaching Assistant at U.F. I met one-on-one with students throughout this experience to advise or tutor them when extra help was needed. I also taught at the middle and high school levels (history, art, and drama), so I am experienced in assisting students from age 12 through adulthood.
I use humor to bring the subject matter to life, and I help the student come to her/his own understanding through discussion of the course material, encouraging her/him to take an active role in learning. I am accustomed to working with students who believe that history is boring and/or challenging. I focus on major themes and relate the material to students' lives, rather than stressing rote memorization of dates and facts (although comprehension of reading m ... read more

As a University of Florida student, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have one class left before graduating from the College of Journalism, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of reading, retention and comprehension. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, essays and newspaper articles. I have previously tutored reading.
I love teaching and working with children to help them achieve their educational success. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I enjoy tutoring students and helping them build confidence in their ability to achieve, both academically and socially. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible and to make learning fun. I am a firm believer in teaching through multiple ways to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a former student and professional athlete, I am a very self-motivated person. From the University of Florida I earned a B.A. in History and a Minor in Education. Last year, I worked in the classroom as a substitute teacher on all three major levels of grade school education. In addition, I have been a supervisor and counselor at various camps which require long hours and spendig individual time with children.
I love teaching and working with children. I believe good communication is what makes life efficient. In my mind, good communication requires a positive, instructive, and detail manner. A better future requires a better education now, and how we pursue it is vital. Education empowers a mind, attitude empowers a lifestyle.
