PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake Mary, FL

I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and HS level), HS Chemistry, basic w

Every student has strengths and weaknesses, and these should be determined for efficient tutoring. I believe in helping the student to learn and making sure they have the knowledge and help to understand the material themselves. I have eight years of tutoring experience for students ranging from second grade to high school seniors. This tutoring has been in a variety of topics, from elementary phonics to high school geometry to handwriting. I have also had experience in tutoring for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and FCAT.

I actually don't have much experience as a tutor beyond helping classmates study, however throughout my experience in high school I've experimented with and adopted many avant-garde and unorthodox studying techniques and thought processes that have served gratuitously to my benefit, and I'm positive will serve yours as well. I'm currently a senior attending Winter Park High School. I have a slew of education and extracurricular related accolades, and have been commended highly for my skills in writing (both creative and professional). My transcript has a long history of Advanced Placement courses and my standardized exam scores are impressive to say the least least (30 ACT, 1800 SAT, multiple AP Exam credits).

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparing

I have extensive experience as a k-12 and adult teacher of all subjects (excepting advanced math and science) and as a teacher of technology to all ages, including technophobes:) I offer specific subject tutoring, as well as project-based enrichment programs tailored to a student's interest. My experience is wide-ranging. I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own. I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges.

I have taught fifth grade for the past 8 years. I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a specialty in math from Queen's College in NY. I taught for 4 years in NY before relocating to Florida. I was hired to teach 5th grade in Florida and have done so for the past 8 years. I was nominated for "Who's Who of America's Top Teachers" and for "The Disney Teaching Award." During the past 8 years, I have taught students with learning disabilities and those with limited English skills. I have also taught advanced reading and advanced math during this time. My dedication, along with my broad teaching experience, have driven me to stay up to date with current educational research. I have always been a believer in teaching by doing. Students (based on my experience) learn best by doing and researching while having the support of their facilitator. I am an advocate of co

My goal in the classroom is to find a way to make my students relate to the material. I want my students to care enough to ask questions and work hard to understand the material. I enjoy teaching very much. I believe that it is an opportunity to teach my students that they can do anything that they want to do in their lives. I know that I have made a difference in the lives of my students, because they have told me that I changed the way that they see the world. I have earned a BA in political science, and I will finish my PhD in May 2006. Through my graduate work, I have developed very strong math and writing skills that would enable me to be a very effective tutor for students in both math and reading. I have also worked with students to improve their writing style in the classes that I have taught, teaching them basic grammar and essay organization.

As a graduate of Purdue University, I have earned a bachelor's in chemistry. My chemistry degree is also accredited by the American Chemical Society. To achieve this, I had to take advanced chemistry and math courses. Also while attending Purdue, I was a team leader for their Women In Science Program. Throughout this program, I mentored incoming female freshmen science majors for four years. As a mentor, not only did I help them adjust to college life, but I was also there to advise them on courses and I even helped them study for their classes. I like to perform the tasks in front of the student and explain everything, step by step, as well as give information on why I'm doing that step. Then, if the student understands and feels comforatable performing the task, I'll let them try it with me, being there to help out as needed. I like students to be very hands on when it comes to

I have over 20 years experience teaching mathematics at the community college and university levels. I have also worked as a tutor at the Mathematics Laboratory and the Academic Success Center for Okaloosa-Walton Community College. I have worked as a private tutor on numerous occasions in the past. Most recently, I worked as a tutor for a private school in the Dominican Republic where I tutored eleventh graders in pre-Calculus. From my own experiences as a student I have come to the opinion that the most valuable educational accomplishment one can achieve is to “learn how to learn”. This seems to be a state of mind, an epiphany if you will, which hopefully will be realized at some point in the course of an individual’s intellectual development. Such a state of mind is not usually due to the efforts of a particular instructor, nor is it the result of having taken a certain class. Rather

I believe that everyone has the ability to learn. I am not one who likes to do something for you but provide you with the tools to be able to do it yourself. I adapt to the personality and learning style of the person I am tutoring in or to make them feel comfortable and confident in themselves. I have had the opportunity to assist fellow student athletes while in college. I was also a mentor during my senior year for a 12 year old girl through the student athlete mentoring program at Florida A&M University. We participated in campus events in addition to spending personal time with her going to the movies and assisting with school assignments. I also have a high-school aged brother and mother who is currently taking college courses that I assist with assignments. I hold an MBA in finance and have always been strong in and excelled in the area of Math. I am also confident in my ab

As a University of Central Florida graduate, I strived to achieve a higher level of excellence in my studies. My BS in Elementary Education K-6 and my current studies MSE in Math 6-8 has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of K-12 education. I have gained extensive grammatical, oral, and written skills writing research papers, reports, along with essays in various areas of study. During the last six years I have tutored students in reading, writing, and math. I love to teach and work with children. I believe that all children can learn if they are in a loving, nurturing, caring, environment. All children learn differently, and I am available to help your child attain their academic success.

Having many years of teaching and parenting experience I am comfortable with all ages and all personalities. I am a warm, soft-spoken person who is able to make children feel relaxed and comfortable, yet I maintain authority and stucture to challenge and motivate. I am liberal with praise for effort and improvement. One of my greatest strengths is that I have an innate understanding of how to break down concepts into small understandable parts that can be easily grasped, and to communicate the skills and information through multiple methods and sensory experiences. My first teaching experience was in a private school for children with learning disabilities. After gaining that experience for several years, I was then employed in the public elementary school. While raising my family I spent 20 plus years homeschooling my own five children from K-12th grade. As my children grew up I develop
