PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Melbourne, FL

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.

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 primary aim in tutoring students is to assess exactly where they are academically, including reading level and math skills. Then I teach to their exact level. I help them to set up realistic goals and strive to meet those goals. Encouraging students and helping them to see their progress is a big part of their feeling satisfied that their efforts are showing dividends. I have worked with both the extremely bright, gifted students as well as those with learning disabilities so I understand the importance of proper pacing and the use of various modalities for successfully tutoring each individual. I have always endeavored to excel academically and so sought after and received a top-level education at Duke University. Having a love of language and having a desire to be able to teach at all levels, I obtained an MA in English from the UNC-G. I have had 43 years of teaching and tutoring at

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 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 find that incorporating creative and fun learning techniques into academic lessons greatly improves student motivation. I enjoy learning the strengths and interests of the student in order to create opportunities to help them reach their full potential. I believe in using positive reinforcement and natural incentives in the learning process. My experience has taught me that students need to know the boundaries for classroom behavior. I believe this can be done in a positive, guiding fashion that leads to mutual respect of both teacher and student. Activities and projects help bring learning to life, so I enjoy making decisions together with the student which projects they would like to create. For example, we may create the solar system or learn to do a "Landscape" painting. As a Social Worker, I have gained many skills in working with people. My field has allowed me to gain exp

I sincerely believe that I have the ability to draw on an individual student's strengths. By having goals that are clear and objectives that help the student sense progress and success, I work with students to take them from where they are to the next place for them to be. Many students have told others that I am one of their favorite teachers. I believe this is because my students know I care, and that I enjoy them as individuals. I have been a well respected teacher in the state of Maine for 18 years. My experience has been in elementary education, teaching middle school language arts and social studies, and also training and mentoring teachers to use technology in their classrooms. I currently have my Florida certification and if the opportunity presents itself, would consider a full time teaching position here in the Sunshine state. I would enjoy tutoring in all subjects, and bel

My teaching style varies with the needs of the learner. Having been trained to assess the primary modality of a learner (visual, oral/aural, kinesthetic or tactile), I can plan activities and approaches that will best use the student's strengths to overcome challenges. I think humor is very important in learning and teaching. I work well with students who are able but resistant to learning, and those who have a particular challenge that they will admit. Because I believe that everyone can learn something, and no one can learn everything, I focus on helping students win at learning. I try to teach students how to learn, as well as mastering content, so that they are prepared no matter what the content area might be. I have been teaching children since I was a child myself, first in community settings, and then in church and later, in elementary and middle schools. I train teachers for chu

I believe that my opportunities and experiences in life both personally and in the education arena have prepared me to work successfully with students. I have always believed that letting students learn by doing and sometimes failing gives them a chance to learn how to adapt to life’s situations. In my vocational programs it was important to let the student’s personality and learning style surface before I could adapt a program to meet that student’s learning style. I feel I have a strong sense of what makes kids click and I know I would be an asset to many kids struggling in today’s classroom settings. After earning my BS degree in Vocational Education at North Carolina State University, I received my first teaching position with an alternative education program working with at-risk students. The next year I received a position teaching in a regular school environment teaching and desig

I have been in education for eight years, where I specialized in second language acquisition, ESOL, literacy, grammar, high school language and literature, and intermediate-level language arts. I also have taught at 3 different colleges: Furman University, where I taught graduate level TESOL classes; Converse College, where I taught graduate level TESOL classes, and Greenville Technical College, where I taught adult-level grammar, writing, and listening and speaking classes. My experience ranges from grades 4 to college-level teaching; however, my favorite is teaching adults in small group settings. I am used to working with students from a variety of diverse backgrounds, including many ethnicities from around the world, students with learning disabilities, advanced students, and those struggling with reading, writing, and literacy.

Patient, clear. I have worked several years with young children and believe I have a great deal of patience. I would describe my teaching style as comfortable and non intimidating. I love to see children learn and become confident in themselves. I have been a substitute teacher and also am certified to teach Pre-K through 6th Grade in Brevard County. I have a college degree in Business. I spent several years working in the corporate business environment. After that, I became a Home Daycare Provider for young children, which allowed me to spend more time with my 2 children. I love watching the children learn and grow every day.
