Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lamont, FL

Have tutored up through the 8th grade level. Most of my training has been hands on experience. I consider this a bonus as it promotes practical application. I did attend Boston University in search of a biology degree and marine biology minor. Personal circumstances made completion unavailable. I have also received certification in varoius animal care related fields and also hold the status of First Responder for Marine Animal Strandings with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. I like to use working examples of principles. I also embrace the "why" behind the facts as a method of reinforcing knowledge gained.

I have been working with students in both one-on-one and group settings for going on 14 years. I began tutoring groups of children at an inner city after school program in Language Arts and Reading Comprehension. I went into further training at my high school and became a designated math tutor for those in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry. After high school I revisted my loved for tutoring at Jefferson County Community College where I tutored Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Study Skills. Throughout the years I have tutored a variety of students in various areas through freelance work, tutoring groups, and volunteer work. I have been trained to work with those who have ADD, ADHD, Asperger's and dyslexia by both lecture classes and field work. I gear my teaching style to the individual I am working with. In 14 years I have learned that even though a method may work for one stude

I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the student becomes engaged in the learning process. I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Voluntee

I have a good experience of tutoring hundreds of students over a decade period of time. I have tutored from first grade student to bachelors' degree students. I have formally taught students from grades four to ten for six months as a science teacher. Recently, I helped my wife in Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Lab and College Algebra. She got straight A's in them upgrading her GPA. Most importantly, my tutoring helped my students to uplift their self-esteem, confidence and to accept learning as a process which can be made more pleasant and simple. :)

Even though I received my B.A. in Criminal Justice, I am knowledgeable in several other areas of study. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays because of my interest in other various fields of study. I believe children want to learn, if it is done with humor and patience. It just takes the time and effort to find the way that works best. I am a person that wants every child to succeed and will work to find the best way for your child.

Ever since I was little I loved helping other people with school. I spent my summer with my aunt teaching English to Spanish speaking natives and my cousins. Even though I can teach well with large groups I have always felt a child learns best one-on-one. It eliminates competition and helps the child develop confidence in himself and the desire to learn. I like to find the area where a child is struggling and come up with a creative fun way that allows them to learn but also the encourages them to continue working on their own when I am not there. I also believe that it is important to involve the family in order to help the child grow. Whether it is working with them or just encouraging their progress. A good solid understanding of knowledge acquired is the foundation to success in the future. My last semester at FSU I internship with 1st grade students. I assisted students with area

All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored for individual strengths and weaknesses, facilitating the learning process and desired outcome. Most people know intuitively how they learn, as well as which modalities work best for them. Paying attention, listening, probing with questions, observing responses, being patient is the first part of my job. Often times the student knows what works best and can even tell you. So I just need to pay attention. Once the diagnosis is evident then I can prescribe, or at least give suggestions that help facilitate the desired outcome. Then it's evaluate, make adjustments, continue and expand on new learning sets and ac

I moved to NYC in 2001 to become a Broadway actor; however, I did not want to live the actor "lifestyle" and in essence become a professional waiter. I signed up for an alternative teaching program and accepted a position as a social studies teacher in the projects of East New York, Brooklyn. I quickly realized that teaching was a full time job, and I did not have time to pursue acting, which was fine because I enjoyed my experience as a teacher and as a mentor to children who needed strong male leadership. I taught for two years in the classroom, as well as all after school and Saturday programs in math and literacy. I also took up an evening job tutoring students at the local Sylvan Learning Center in Brooklyn, NY. My personal philosophy is to let children make their own discoveries. I am essentially a person that will guide a student to that discovery and ask questions all along

I enjoy working with students in all settings, including small groups and one-to-one. My personal specialty was in one-to-one math and science tutoring. Students do best when they have a goal to achieve. My goal with each child is to use positive reinforcement and encouragement. I try to consider each child's individual learning styles when working with them. It is extremely important that the setting is comfortable and conducive to learning, whether it is in a classroom or a library. After graduating from Florida State University, I received a job at DISC Village in Tallahassee Florida as a Prevention Counselor in the Beta program. This program was school-based and involved working with at-risk middle school students at Wakulla Middle School. My duties included instructing 12-26 students in 6th-8th grade in social skills, behavior improvement, drug prevention, and study groups/tuto

I am a young professional with a full-time job and I love to teach on the side. At the University of Maryland, College Park, I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Environmental Science and Policy with a high A average. I also earned a minor in Spanish in 2001. I worked as an Environmental Policy Analyst for about a year and a half before I decided to go to graduate school for my Master's degree. I earned my Master's of Science degree in 2008 from the University of South Florida, also with a high A average. While in graduate school, I learned essential teaching skills as a Teaching Assistant and an Instructor. Specifically, I taught an Environmental Science laboratory course and an Environmental Science lecture course. I was also a course assistant for International Environmental Laws and Conventions and World Regional Geography. The professional world and graduate school ha

I am completely qualified to be a professional tutor based on my experience and background. I accept each student with a sense of appreciation, challenge, duty, empathy, respect and responsibility based on a professional and studious approach. I believe that it is not enough for a student to "know the facts", but they must also know how and why they were able to derive their answers. A session with me will be one of intense learning, focused and directed toward the attainment of knowledge, self-confidence,pride, and an improved regard for learning among each student as their grades improve. My teaching experience includes fourteen years of public school education in several North Florida middle and high schools, and three years in private schools which included an elementary curriculum as well as middle and high school classes. The middle and high school classes included Social Studies(G

I firmly believe in students succeeding in school and life. Having a love for learning and school is the key to good grades and a healthy attitude. I don’t believe any child wants to fail. Quite the contrary, children want to succeed. When students fail, it is because the system failed them and not the other way around. I believe the key to teaching kids is to help that child experience immediate success so they can gain self esteem during critical elementary school years. Next, areas of strength need to be identified and emphasized while weaknesses need to be improved. Meanwhile homework cannot be treated as an isolated event, but should be incorporated into the learning strategy. I am a mother of two school age children with entirely different learning styles and a college graduate who has tutored friends and family for the past 14 years. I believe that learning is an enjoyabl
