15 years experience in a broad variety of subjects!

I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor which puts students at ease- and it is proven that a tense mind can not learn, only when the student loses their anxiety over the material will they absorb it!
I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanit ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having parents that place a great emphasis in achieving higher education, I graduated from high school with the age of 15 years old and was accepted in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, for the degree in Life Science Biology. While studying in Taiwan,I offered individual tutoring in Spanish and English for college students and adults who wanted to improve their knowledge on the language. After two years of studying in Taiwan, I decided to expand my horizons in education and applied for Brigham Young University Hawaii for the major of Psychology.During the time I spent studying in Brigham Young University Hawaii, I worked for the Counseling Department as tutor for a variety of subjects from Foreign Languages (such as Chinese and Spanish) to General Education (such as Psychology, Biology, History, Art, etc). I also worked as an Academic Advisor’s Assistant, where I could help my ... read more

Florida Certified Educator for Elementary to High School

I have a collaborative style of teaching. My ultimate goal is to get students to think, regardless of their age. With younger students, I tend to be much more directive so that we accomplish intended learning. With middle and high school students, I ask "Why" and "How do you know" quite often so that they learn to provide evidence for their thinking. Getting the RIGHT answer isn't the goal -- understanding and developing critical thinking processes are much more valuable!
I have two decades of experience in education. My first 10 years were spent in adult education training adults to work in various organizations in the business world. My last 10 years have been spent in public education classrooms working as a teacher for elementary, middle, and high school students. I have taught core content courses at each level. Therefore, I understand how each grade level builds upon ... read more

Hello, I have been a teacher in central Florida for 6 years. I have always taught at the middle school leve, although my student teaching was done at the High school level. Prior to becoming a teacher I served 5 years in the U.S. Navy. I have also worked with Juinor Acheivement and the Boys and Girls club of America.
My belief is in the child. I am extremely patient and loving. The child sets the pace at which we learn and we would not move on to the next subject until the child completely understands the material.

More About This Tutor...

I believe each child/adult is different and each has a unique learning style. My teaching style will depend on each persons learning type. Some need very little direction before they get started and some need you to guide and direct them most of the time. I can do both and love watching that red light click on when someone finally understands the concept of something new. Every child should be given the opportunity to succeed no matter what type of background they come from. I am very patient and an excellent listener, hearing what is not said out loud. If there is a definite set of program rules I need to follow then I will by all means follow whatever protocols are given to me.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of Polk Community College and I am in the process of earning the BA degree in Psychology. I volunteered at Eastside Elementary for 11 years under the direction of Mrs. Christine Shaw the math director. I have tutored bilingual children whose second language is English; I tutored students in English and math.
I understand the struggle to learn an unfamiliar subject because your background and education did not prepare you for the course. As a tutor I had to deal with the frustrations of young students who hated school just because they could not understand the homework and class work given to them. So, it is important to give them small challenges to enlist a winning attitude. Then it is very important that you teach them certain steps that will help them find answers in a constant way. It is important for students to view the bigger picture or idea; however, it ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to enhance their study skills. For me, learning any new subject begins with learning its language. For example, in math and science, vocabulary and usage are keys to understanding processes basic to any application. Finally, I welcome the opportunity to explore you or your child's talents, helping to identify and adapt a personal style of learning to ensure educational success. )

I have direct experience as a tutor in the University of Texas at Tyler Writing Center. While working there, I assisted students in all parts of the writing process from initial outlines to proper citation of sources. My more recent positions have all involved some element of training. These experiences ranged from lecture-style presentations to phone, email and face to face instruction.
I am familiar with most major learning styles but do not subscribe to one particular view. To me, effective teaching means being fluid, adaptable, and responsive to the students’ needs and learning styles. Just as a carpenter will use the right tools for the right job, I believe that a good instructor can assess and pick from several approaches the one that will benefit his or her students the most. In all cases, enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject matter are the two most important attrib ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My efforts have resulted in three achievements that continue to directly benefit my students. (1) I maintained classroom decorum by assigning classroom positions of responsibility. (2) I introduced and encouraged the self-beneficial learning strategies of metacognition in order to combat low motivational issues. (3) I created a computer-based assessment system in order to increase the quality and completion rate of homework assignments. I believe that my students’ academic success depends not only on mastering the content, but also on learning how to teach themselves anything they wish to learn. “You can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will feed himself and others for the rest of his life.”
In early 2006 I decided to give back to the community and entered the teaching profession in the public sector. In 2009 I became a Professionall ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love working with any age group, but especially high school and community college students seeking to improve their writing skills. I believe in spending quality time with students in order to customize strategies and techniques specific to their needs. Because we all learn differently, I am able to coach to any learning style. With the academic and professional world growing more competitive each day, sound writing skills are needed to help people land a job, communicate well at work, network effectively, and grow professionally. I learned from writing professionals with decades of journalistic, technical, and academic writing experience. I now use that experience to help make a difference in my students' lives.
