I incorporate different learning styles to promote academic achievement. Students do not learn the same way, but all students can learn by implementing strategies and showing students that what they thought was impossible can be possible with a different techniques. Personally I am a visual learner so I like to use pictures and other visual aspects. I also like hands-on activities and I have seen through experience that students like to have hands-on engaging stratgies or activities to promote optimal learning.

I also teach Art to students in grades K--12th. Drawing, painting, Holiday crafts, wire sculpting. I provide simple and creative lessons for the students. I enjoy teaching. I find teaching methods that will be creative so my students are encouraged to learn. All my students learn at a different level. I provide alot of hands on teaching, which helps to motivate students. Each student has a unique way of learning, they are provided, with visuals, manipulatives, verbal prompts in order to learn the lesson being taught. Each student is on a different level, which means I need to provide individual learning techniques for each student while providing special accomodations for them.

I have been a tutor for 4 years since the age of 14. I helped about thousands of students with homework and study skills. I know subjects ranging from mathematics to science. In addition, I am also good with children because I have tutored kids that have the potential to go somewhere in life. I am a Pharmacy major in Miami Dade College and helps me discover students who needs help without interference from the student. I like to test students and then evaluate the results to see what the student is capable of doing. Also, I focus on the student's strengths and weaknesses so I can help the student overcome these deficiencies. For example, I tutor a math major without using a calculator or any graphing utilities. I told him that the key to success is use your mind, not technology. I am able to aid students by using their minds to solve problems.

My favorite part of tutoring is the "A Ha!" moment: when a student has been struggling with a difficult concept and it's finally put to them in a way that clicks. I love helping students get to this moment. I try to do this by establishing a firm base of what students already know, and patiently building new concepts upon that foundation. I am a fan of the Socratic Method and also try to cater to different learning styles. When tutoring I encourage and foster problem solving, analysis, critical thinking, and ultimately confidence. Some students know the material, but lack the self-confidence to demonstrate this on a test. I try to inspire that confidence by reviewing material and ensuring the students have a firm grasp on all the topics. I have two science degrees, an outstanding GPA (3.7), and ACT and MCAT scores that were in the 99th percentile. Also I am patient, technologically and s
