I look forward to helping people achieve their goals and aspirations, and in turn learning from others. I am very energetic and understanding when teaching children.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always loved working with children, in any capacity. Tutoring has not only combined my skills as a teacher but allowed me to work one on one with students in a way that is not possible in a classroom setting. I have had great success tutoring students of all backgrounds and academic levels because I strive to know them as individuals and find what works best for them. It is my belief that strong self-esteem is key to academic performance. Being genuine and providing continuity in instruction are elements of tutoring that I have consistently displayed throughout my years of experience and it has made all the difference for my students and for me.
During and after completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I spent eight years as a volunteer tutor and three years as a paid tutor. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Melbourne, Florida and, most recently, as an AVID tut ... read more

Both my parents are educators and have instilled in me the fundamental importance of education. I enjoy working with children and seeing them succeed on their own terms. I am willing to work diligently to see a child meet his or her educational goals. I believe that a comfortable learning environment makes learning fun for a child and also makes material retention longterm. I also encourage critical thinking and personal relationships to the material.
Having moved between English, History, and Anthropology during my undergraduate years, I've surveyed quite an extensive portion of the social sciences. I have earned a major in Anthropology and a minor in History. The workloads for these courses included several 50+ page ethnographic reports in addition to the basic course curriculum. I've previously worked with children at the Kids on Campus program at OWC, teaching Songha ... read more

My teaching-style is rigorous yet kind. My students say that no one has ever criticized their writing and thought so thoroughly and constructively. I'm known for my patience working with students with foreign-language backgrounds and other disabilities such as a lack of attention and focus. I learned from my professors at Swarthmore College (and a few at Penn) how to project a non-B.S. style, since kids tend to intuitively realize when their teacher has no idea what he/she is talking about. Coming from a family of teachers and professors (who have also been my teachers), I'm confident that good teaching is in my bones. I never use technology just for the sake of using technology.
I became a published author of game reviews for a computer magazine at age 15. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania in Chemical Engineering under an Army Research Office grant, then as a software dev ... read more

I have taught in many environments under many circumstances. My work as a geometry tutor for a 10th grade enabled me to learn to explore teaching methods that best suited him. As a TA, I reviewed concepts that helped reiterate important biological facts. Because my boss was a Biology Education specialist, she taught us teaching methods like hands-on activities and an inquisitive teaching style that makes concepts stick. For outreach, I acted as a museum docent to groups of students (K-12), catering each exhibit to the age level of each group. I also worked as a science summer camp counselor. These experiences have enabled me to learn my own teaching style and understand the best methods for each age group, kids to young adults.
During my sophomore year in college, I tutored a 10th grader in geometry for two semesters. I also tutored him and one of his peers for one semester in Alge ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and learning new things and believe it should be a fun experience. I have an 8 year old daughter and a mother currently taking college courses so I have learned a great deal of patience over the years and developed a relaxed, happy personality.
In 2005 I graduated from the University of West Florida, earning a BA in psychology with a 3.5 GPA. During that time I was vice president of an on-campus meditation group that lead people in meditation and relaxation techniques. I have assisted many people with tutoring for various types of academic and placement tests, e.g, ASVAB, ACT and SAT, as well as college placement tests for english and math. I have excellent proof-reading/grammar/writing skills and an understanding of APA and MLA formatting. I have experience working at a military base college branch as an advisor/field representative and have gained experience ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My classes have ranged from large groups of 30 or more, to private one-on-one sessions with individual students. I have also written for many newspapers and magazines, both domestic and foreign, so I know how to communicate in the most effective and concise way possible.
In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be bo ... read more

After graduating with a dual degree, I taught in Texas for 27 years in the fields of English, Geography, Health/PE, History, and Math. I have presented multiple times on the state level in math. After moving to Pensacola, I have tauht two years in the Florida K-12 sytem, presenting in Tallahassee in an area social studies conference, and three years in the community and junior college system. Recent tutoring includes math up to college Algebra, some physics and chemistry.
I enjoy a Socratic method of questions to teach. Each student has her/his own style of learning and the Socratic allows me to home in on that style and give the student ownership of the larned material. I have ben told I have the parience of job and a "down-to-earth" way of explaination.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a young man raised in a military life style, I have always been extremely motivated and possitive in striving for excellence. I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelors of Science in Finance Degree where I received specific knowledge, skills and abilities. After college I was able to put my wife through pharmacy school while working with a private investment firm as the Senior Portfolio Analyst. I have also held positions that required diversified skills to deal with customer service, analysis, mentoring, managing and leading a team of piers.
My teaching style is standard in the extent that I believe everyone can learn specific material, they just have to figure out a way to relate to the material. Growing up I was tutored by my parents with the style of trial and error. I believe this works only with certain individuals, while others may require a step by s ... read more
