PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Longwood, 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'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 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 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 preparin

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.

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 it represents an ideal culmination of the educational process. Maybe, some would say it is the moment when the Scholar is born. Perhaps it is the moment when the true Student emerges. As instructors we may never know if we have ever contributed to such a moment of realization in a person’s life, but it is nice to think we can and it is nice to try, and over all that’s my philosophy of teaching. On a more specific level I have fo

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

I strongly believe in the ability of all students to suceed. I work on not just mastery of the materials, but a fundamental change in the students attitude towards education and their ability and desire to learn. If the desire to learn is instilled in students, they will work harder and be more sucessful. I attended the Massachussetts Institute of Technology and majored in Political Science but switched to Chemical Engineering my junior year. I have taken many semesters of calculus, physics and chemistry, as well as humanities courses and the political science courses for my major. I have experience and am able to teach the sciences, maths, and humanities. I am fluent in Spanish as a native speaker and have taken elementary French and Arabic. In high school, I took 13 AP classes.

My teaching style is very dependent on learner style. I identify the way the student learns best and go from there. Motivation of struggling students is often dependent on the relationship of the student to the teacher, so it is very important that teachers reach out to care and build trust with the learner. I am flexible, positive, and persistent with all my students and try to have a good sense of humor! As a veteran Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) teacher, I have assisted hundreds of struggling students learning to read and write. During the past several years my job has been Support Facilitation, helping SLD students in the general education classroom. As a professional teacher, I can work well with all kinds of students.I have worked with all ethnicities and income levels. Teaching SLD students generally involves diagnostic/prescriptive teaching, which is very similar to the ty

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 believe each child learns in their own way. It is the job of the instructor to facilitate the child's learning. Patience is key and a comfortable pace. I currently hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Florida A & M University and hold a valid Letter of Eligibility for teacher certification. My teaching experience includes working as an ESE Aide, high school substitute and tutor in Alachua and Orange County. For the past year I have been working with students with disabilities. I am very enthusiastic about working with students in an education setting. My experiences in the classroom and educational background have provided the skills I may use in helping students reach high levels of achievement. I have a great deal of interest in helping students in school activities, testing, learning skills and assisting to make the school a safe learning environment. Furthermor

I believe, education provides confidence and strength in individuals, and strength overcome weaknesses. It also creates opportunities looking into the future while minimizing the possibility of risk or failure. I like working with individual from all walks of life.
