Although I have a well-rounded education, most of my knowledge and work experience is in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus plus the related fields of accounting, computers, and engineering). My college education at Purdue University was interrupted due to financial reasons, but I returned to Lake-Sumter Community College at night while working full time and earned an AA degree. I know how important education is! I believe I am a natural teacher when it comes to mathematics and related fields - I helped my fellow students in high school during study halls, tutored through the National Honor Society, was my son’s private tutor, and assist my co-workers with their accounting and computer skills.
I am fascinated with the concept that the more senses you utilize in teaching the better the child learns and retains what was taught. Some children respond to v ... read more

Throughout my experience tutoring students, I have learned that everyone has a unique learning style. No single rule applies to teaching someone. I spend time figuring out how a student learns and then adjust my style to their needs. After tutoring students for the past two years, I have learned that many kids have the ability to excel in school, and I enjoy helping them acquire the drive to learn.
As a graduate in the world of technology, I believe education never ends. Things change constantly therefore we must continue to educate ourselves. In addition, I have volunteered with high school juniors and seniors to help them through courses such as math, science, computers, and English in their preparation for college. While in college, I also tutored classmates in statistics, algebra, and technology courses. Beyond that, I have learned valuable lessons about teaching others in the ... read more

As a graduate, I understand the struggles each individual student may endure throughout their course work. Throughout my years as a student I have worked diligently and now applying to master's and PhD programs for neurological psychology. During the last 5 year, in high school and throughout college I have tutored others that needed help in psychology, algebra, statistics, geometry, and microbiology.
The best way for a person to learn depends on the person, of course. It is well known that people have different leaning styles that work best for them. The best approach for a tutor is to learn which learning style fits the student best. Everything can take into account, for example lighting of the room or even background noise. All students regardless of age should be able to succeed and its a privilege to help students that want to reach their top potential

My scholarly and practical experience is in Marine Biology and Chemistry. I have experience teaching adults, children, and adolescents in various settings from in a swimming pool, at animal exhibits, to in the classroom. For the past two years I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge of Science and Math with my students and motivating them to explore the various facets of the vast field of Science.
My experience teaching children started in the water. That is a difficult place to start as many children fear the water. I quickly learned that individual students learn in different ways and at different paces. After studying Marine Biology in an academic setting I finally became able to share my passion for science and knowledge for math with students in a way that enabled me to not only share knowledge, but motivate students to become passionate about the subjects I find so interesti ... read more

teaching children to read and read more fluentely is the teaching approach I find necessary to meet academic achievement. I beleive a child's determination to learn to read and learn is directly effected by the approach of the educator that is providing the learning experience. The challegnge of finding literature where students connect helps them discovery more about word strengths and weakness as well as their surroundings and experiences.I believe children can exceed and my expectations as a teacher is for them to exceed.
I taught both general education and exceptional special edcation students who have been well below grade and reading level as a tutor and as a subsitute teacher in elementary education.I worked in elementary education for 3 years and have been tutoring for 2 years. As a late bloomer in education, I worked these areas of education until I finished my Bachelor's ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a mathematics graduate, I have strived to teach and tutor mathematics in such a way that everyone could have a general understanding of it. I have earned a BA in mathematics, which has given me the opportunity to gain an understanding of how to make math an enjoyable subject. Many people that I have spoken to do not like math. I have made it a goal of mine to change that mindset and to provide a different insight to studying math. During the last 10 years I have been able to share my knowledge with others while enlightening others to study math full time.
My teaching style is quite universal in such that I believe in hands-on learning. I love teaching and working with all types of students. I am very patient, polite, and understanding of the needs of students who are trying to understand math. My goal is to provide a service where my teaching style will help them discover ... read more

I prefer to work with children who have learning disabilities and/or with a dislike for education. I find that my teaching style is interesting to this particular type of student. I acknowledge the childs dismay in learning and I allow them to help me to adjust the teaching material to a teaching style that best suits the childs learning style. Science and english are subjects that many children don't enjoy. I make it much easier for them to learn the subject and then we expound thier knowledge from there.
I graduated from UCF with a Bachelors in Communicative Disorders (speech therapy). I love english and science and found this to be a perfect mix. I worked with children with language delays in group settings and also tutored children individually. I am currently in the process of obtaining my teaching certificate in science and working towards my masters degree.

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 ... read more

My passion is technology and using it to find common ground with the student. I believe the best way to teach is to model for the student and show them how they can do for themselves as opposed to having it done for them.
As a Masters level graduate I have recent experiences as both a teacher and a student. I have two ten year old boys and am very used to supplementing their education outside of the classroom. I have tutored for the homebound program with my district and am currently looking to supplement my income with online tutoring options.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is an art. It can and does vary for each individual. When I teach, I first attempt to assess what type of learner the child is. What causes the child to become a sponge? My goal is to provide the best understanding of the material possible. I firmly believe that with a if you allow the person to do the work and just simply facillitate them, they will come to realize they more than likely know alot more than they originally thought. This process helps to boost self-esteem which can at times are shown by the grades of the students after our tutoring sessions and even during.
As a future physician, working with people I find is necessary in order to be as efficient in every way possible.

I create a learning-centered environment that is a welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging place in which my students feel safe enough to explore and share their thoughts and observations of the world. I consistently communicate my interest in and enthusiasm for the course material by demonstrating the real-world application of the skills we are learning and by illustrating how much I respect and value my students’ thoughts and ideas. I believe the old authoritarian model of classroom teaching, in which the student is a passive receptacle, creates a threatening environment that allows for very little room for growth. I follow a more democratic approach to teaching that is participatory in nature and promotes active learning.
