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

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:)

I take pride in my ability to be innovative and creative to teach all children the way that they learn. I truly believe that there are 25-different types of intelligence. As educators, it is out job to determine how kids learn and teach them that way; not expect them to conform to a formula or out expectation. All children are unique and are brilliant in their own unique ways. In my experience through course work and volunteer experience, I have instructed teens in mediation, leadership skills, and assisted them in making healthy choices, created a social skills curriculum, and learned various psychological techniques and skills for assisting people. By utilizing a multi-discipline approach, keeping accurate records of all sessions and interactions with the kids and their families, and communicating necessary information to team members.

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 learning. Once they feel comfortable performing their task in front of me, they can usually be on their own after that. I also encourage students to ask as many questions as possible, and there are no dumb questions. 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 ment

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. I am patient, understanding and easy going. My goal is to provide students the best education possible. I believe in providing a constructivist approach and teaching through discovery. I strive to make a difference in the life of my students. 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

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.

I am a retired Police Officer having worked for the East Orange, New Jersey police Department for 27 years. My assignment at my retirement was detective bureau commander. As a working officer, I enrolled into college and obtained three college degrees and a teaching certification. My degrees and certification are listed with this application. My teaching style is essentially one of motivation and entertainment. It is my contention that a motivating teacher has to be somewhat of an entertainer to ensure he or she has the undivided attention of students. I have been so successful with this teaching approach that I have been cited by "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" on four occasions for teaching excellence. I am also able to inspire students by telling them of my life's story; one in which I started out in life as a high school drop out and was able through

I enjoy teaching and tutoring students because I really gain a high sense of gratitude in seeing a new level of understanding come from my students. And my teaching style is driven by this. First I attempt to teach things according to how I understand them. Second when a student doesn't understand something I think it's a waste of time to try to just repeat myself and hope they get it the second time. As Einstein said: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Rather I will flip a concept around so the student can attempt to understand it differently, or draw images or make analogies to other concepts the student already understands, until there is understanding. I recently graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Psychology with a minor in Chemistry where I was educated to understand learning and how the human mind proces

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 cooperative learning in most cases, but I do recognize the importance of pulling small groups for more intense learning. As an educator, it is imperative for me to be able to identify each child's learning style and to utilize that to the best of their ability. 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

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 ability to write reports. Thank you for the opportunity. 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 have been a substitute teacher for ten years and a classroom teacher for 10 years, most of it spent in a third-grade classroom. I have also been a home instructor for 12 students and have spent many hours in students' homes. Both Florida and Ohio have been my home, one in the city and one in the rural section of Ohio, giving me experiences with many types of people and situations. The subbing experiences exposed me to all grade levels and students. The classroom experience taught me how to relate with parents and paperwork. I am an accomplished piano player and have a great appreciation of the arts and the importance of education for a better life. Reading is my great passion in life; I believe it is the key to everything. I am very easy going. My style of teaching often makes those students that resent structure or pressure feel comfortable and relaxed enough to tackle even dif
