My comments on tutoring Marine Biology : Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist.

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my year as an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Earth Ethics Institute, a non-profit organization at Miami Dade College, I was responsible for the successful execution of five high-profile programs. I strengthened my ability to multitask and was able to effectively implement each program’s components at their full potential and capabilities. I became accustomed to working independently under strict deadlines and overseeing many service-learning college students who assisted with events. As many of these service-learners regarded me as a role-model, I committed myself to bringing out their full potentials while mentoring them through their college experiences. I was considered the unofficial technological assistant of my workplace due to my proficiency at Microsoft Office and my ability to work at an exceedingly fast pace. In addition to this, my co-workers often request that I overview ... read more

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

While earning my degree in physics at the University of Central Florida I found that tutoring was an excellent experience for both my students and me. I have tutored many different subjects including math(from algebra to differential equations), astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology. I taught middle school students through presentations of physics in films. I also aided my student in their research papers and power point presentations as I feel comprehension and writing skills are an important part of science. I truly enjoyed doing this and hope to continue tutoring and teaching.
Throughout my years of tutoring I have found that there are many different ways that people learn. Once you figure this out learning is easy and enjoyable. I first go over what my students have been doing to learn and study the material. Once we have established their individual learning style, we go o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for teaching children of all ages. I strive to make learning accessible for all children. In addition, I rely on my kindness, patience, and professionalism to help me motivate children to reach their full potential. My teaching style is built on inquiry-based learning which helps give learners the self-confidence that is so necessary to succeed.
Since graduating from the University of Delaware with a Bachelors of Arts in Biology in December of 2007, I have searched for a career opportunity that would allow me utilize my passion for education. My education background is based on my experience as a Mad Scientist for Mad Science of Delaware Valley. As a Mad Scientist, I taught in after school science clubs in an effort to spark fun and imaginative learning in children, ages 3-15. I performed science experiments for children and explained basic scientific process ... read more

I believe that authentic learning experiences are the most powerful. Each of us learns differently and for different reasons and we all have disabilities; some are just easier to see than others. Any true learning experience must begin with the educator understanding the learner. The purpose behind learning anything can not be dismissed using the rationale "because I said so". Still, I also believe that there is a skill set that we must all possess. Therefore, I believe that a curriculum should be followed but, in addition to a curriculum, an effective educator must be able to bring any lesson to life and insure that it is meaningful and memorable; only then can we be sure that the content was actually learned and retained.

I am patient, relentless, very mellow, and extremely nice. I will make certain the subject is understood whatever it takes. I am imaginative which allows me to develop very and many different ways of explaining things. I know that anybody can understand something if they get the right help.
During my senior year of high school, I took four advanced placement classes to prepare for college. I was always the one who would help other students in my classes even into college. I graduated college and worked for four years. This helped me learn more about report writing and even helping people understand things that were out of their element. I enjoy helping people and sharing my understanding of learning.

Teaching is one of the greatest gifts to give a child at any age. I have been given a great opportunity to teach many children a different grade levels. I believe given children the necessary tools to self discovery. This gives the child confidence knowing he or she accomplished this on their own. My job is be the road map to direct the best path to their destination. I believe in structure, but at the same time allowing the child to figure out how he or she learns. Lastly, I believe in structuring my own teaching to the students individual learning style.

I find it a lot easier to teach something you're passionate about. I have helped tutor people before in subjects outside my major, but couldn't give much insight. In those instances I just helped develop better organization and study skills. I also have experience working with special needs children and teenagers.
I have a lot of experience tutoring friends and classmates throughout my college career. There are a couple students I have worked with for a couple of years, who are people I met through school and work. I mainly tutored in English Composition and English Literature, as it is my main area of study and I'm very experienced in it. I'm back at UCF now as an English Major and am taking classes in Communication Disorders because I eventually would like to work in Special Education. I have a lot of patience and a great understanding of how to help people learn.

I love to cater to each students needs. That's why I love tutoring because I can do this. Some students are visual learners, some learn by hearing, and some by doing. I incorporate all of these into my tutoring. I want to see all of my students not only get good grades but to truly grasp the concepts.
As an undergraduate I started to tutor Chemistry in 2007. Since then I have tutored Chemistry to many different students in one-on-one and large group sessions. I have submitted by certification to be accepted by the State of Florida Department of Education and am awaiting confirmation. While in college I made straight A's for about 3 years, excelling in the sciences. I am very experienced with General Chemistry labs and lecture sessions. I am currently the Science Teacher at the First Academy Classical School program where I teach Biology and Chemistry part-time.

Most students want to succeed, but often believe they cannot or simply don’t know how. I believe that teachers are responsible for finding the most effective ways to not only impart information, but to empower students to take responsibility for their own learning. An appealing way to attract students to complex topics is through current news and events, making these subjects part of a student's own daily life, rather than the dry material of assigned reading. Seemingly abstract principles become more real by recounting pertinent personal experiences. Since there is a natural tendency to teach in the way that one best learns the material, I make a conscious effort to vary my presentation and teaching techniques to reach as many students as possible.

I instructed middle school and high school students for over 12 years before I became certified as a school psychologist in 1998. I have subsequently instructed at the college level since 1998 in the areas of psychology and teacher education. I am a tenured Full Professor. I also continue to complete psychological evaluations for our college's students through our Student Disabilities Service Office.
As a psychologist I understand what it takes to transfer information and get it to "stick" in our central nervous system (brain). After understanding some things about the person I would be tutoring I would then develop a plan to present information to them (in a multimodal manner)that would easily associate with their particular "past environment." The material would be usually presented in a highly visual manner augmented with auditory and some hands-on instruction.
