Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in North Fort Myers, FL

I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor. I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles.

I define teaching as the process by which I help students to learn. I guide learning by helping students individually, at other times instructing an entire class, and still at other times by encouraging class participation. Spontaneity is a valued part of teaching. If the teaching appears memorized, not spoken diaphragmatically, not spoken with eye contact, and if there are no visual aids, learning will likely not take place. Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. It is the goal of every student and the task of every teacher to increase knowledge and understanding in the classroom. I feel that the concept of learning should be focused around four main areas. Independent thought is essential to the development of each student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems will serve them both in and outside of the classroom. Group interaction is also an imp

Hi, my name is Brittany G. I am a graduate of Southeastern University where I earned a B.S. in General Biology with a minor in Chemistry and Western Governor's University where I earned a Master's in teaching Science. I have been teaching for Sarasota County since 2007. I've taught a variety of different subjects for all grade levels from basic middle school math and science to Honor's Anatomy and Physiology, Algebra, Informal Geometry, Physical Science, and have recently been tutoring for college level algebra and trigonometry, probability and statistics, chemistry and biology. It is my belief in order to effectively teach a variety of students the information needs to be presented and taught in a variety of ways. It is my goal as a teacher and tutor to discover how you learn best and help you gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

I have my Florida Teaching Certificate and am Florida certified in Math (Middle Grades 5-9) and Elementary Ed. K-6. I have experience volunteering in intensive/ESE math classes (grades 6-10) and a 9th grade Algebra I class. I have always been good at math.

Currently, I am proficient in Algebra, Geometry (middle grades), Probability, and of course basic math skills. In addition to math, I can also teach Language Arts (reading and writing). I chose the teaching profession because I wanted to be a positive adult male role model for students. I believe all kids can learn and can achieve academic success with a teacher who is patient and supportive to their needs. I have a systematic approach

I been a school teacher for 20 years and have dedicated my life to this career. As an instructor at St.James Academy, I earned the teacher of the year award. At Kent State University,I earned a Bachelor Of Science degree in Education.Currently,I attend Edison State College to further my education. I enjoy teaching and working with children. Administrators and principles often told me that they cannot see me working at any other profession. Having a good repoire with the students enables them to ask questions more freely. Thus, breaking the barriers between student and teacher. Children learn differently,thus a variety of teaching methods must be used.I will always be patient and make the student feel comfortable.As an educator, I will always try make a difference in the life of a child.

As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in addition to tutoring both Math and English as a part-time job. Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to di

During my years as an undergraduate student I took on extensive study habits that included working in study groups and tutoring other classmates who were struggling with material. In my undergraduate experience I have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend extensive material including math, physics, chemistry, and life sciences. As an honors student I was required to speak in front of large groups of people and explain complex subjects in areas that I had researched. I have also had 3 years of coaching experience with children from pre-kindergarten to 3rd grade. In working with children I have learned that it is important to be excited about what you are teaching. That excitement is contagious and creates a desire to self learn and creates long term study habits. That excitement will be reflected in a students' progress as they gain more knowledge about a certain subje

I am very organized, being on task and requiring my students to be so. I enjoy helping students learn and expect students to use their time wisely and productively. When a student does not get a concept, I break it down in very small steps; thus, helping the child pinpoint where they are making errors and correcting them. I encourage students by giving both verbal and non verbal rewards, such as stickers, and small prizes. Students seem to respond to my teaching style, and I have had success in improving student scores on standardized testing. I have taught Kindergarten through 8th grade, in elementary ed, language arts, writing process, and social studies. I have tutored students in math and English, as well as worked in after school programs that focused on tutoring. I have graded over 1500 writing props for the State of Missouri, and have taught writing in school, as well

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

It is very important to find out what skills sets a child needs to be reinforced. The activities the student engages in must be based on his strengths and weaknesses. I believe in working with the student to explain their thought process. I do this by asking questions and helping them realize how to attack a task. I find the student by verbalizing what they are thinking is able to progress at a faster rate. This helps the student self confidence and the way they feel about themselves. I am looking forward to sharing the skills which were developed over 30 years of teaching. My elementary classroom experience includes teaching grades 2,3,4,5 and 6. The successful experiences I had working with learning disabled students, unmotivated students, and gifted students brought me much satisfaction. One on my strengths is my ability to motivate and inspire students with different learning
