I am currently a student at the University of Florida. I have a passion for helping others specially in the areas of Math and Spanish. I am naturally good at math and love it therefore I love helping others learn it. I am also a fluent Spanish speaker which will help anyone trying to become better and eventually fluent in Spanish. I love teaching and watching my students LEARN. I am not satisfied until I know my student has understood the subject very well.
My way of teaching can vary depending on the student because not all students learn the same. Some students can be completely clueless about a certain area or problem, while others may know a little more but get lost at a certain point. What I tend to do is to carefully go over the book instructions, chapter section, notes etc.. because I know that sometimes part the reason why they don't understand is because he/she did not rea ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I teach at the intersection of affirmation and discipline: I believe in celebrating student learning and creativity, while also taking knowledge—and students—seriously. My experience in a summer camp setting has taught me to meet each student where they are and co-create unique strategies for success. I believe in teaching the value of dialogue and cross-disciplinary thinking, in addition to helping students learn academic material and skills.
As a student at Rollins College, I had the opportunity to serve as a peer mentor to a group of first-year students. I also worked in the writing center and as an editor for a literary journal. My studies in anthropology and experience writing an honors thesis on homelessness taught me to think critically and holistically. I have worked as a summer camp counselor for teenagers (June- August 2008 and 2009) and then as co-director of the camp (2 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of The Ohio State University I was very driven to assist other individuals whenever I could to complete their education and help them in any way I possibly could. Because I was a non-traditional student have had such great experiences at both the community and university level of education, I am very excited to help others with most subjects to help them succeed. I have a great understanding of English and a great comprehension for many other subjects, as well. I am very well versed and have excellent verbal and written communication skills which is also a great asset.
I love teaching others and would be a very positive model for those who have a defeatest attitude in the very beginning. It is my motto "a person can be set up for success or be set up for failure". I choose success for myself and others because even the most minimal achievement can mean a great de ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

A child perennial question of “Why?” sets in motion the intent of my teaching philosophy, in which I, as the instructor, facilitate the discovery of possibilities to most of their queries. I propose a teaching philosophy in which the student reverts to that infantile state of wanting to know more. Motivating my students to learn is one of my primary goals as an instructor. I cannot simply relay information without a specific sense of purpose because that only perpetuates a student’s aversion for knowledge. By setting in motion a dynamic classroom, we, the teacher and the students, begin a mentorship in which we meet each others’ academic expectations. As a foreign language instructor, I want the student to acquire practical knowledge in the target language, primarily by speaking the language and not about the language. It is also important that my students gain a sense of affec ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that tutoring is a great way to assist teachers. The reason I say this is because teachers often have many children in their classes and as a tutor I would be able to work one on one with a child who might need a little extra attention. I also thing that when children are given a chance to grasp difficult ideas they gain self confidence and become encouraged to persevere. I also believe that children can learn to love learning, and a child who is given the chance to be encouraged in their learning they will develop a love to the act of learning and therefore become life long learners. I believe in the ability of children and look forward to working with them in a way that will give them confidence and encouragement to work hard and succeed in school.
I have taught preschool education 2-4 years old. While I have not worked with school age students I have taken several coll ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I worked at the Boys and Girls Club of Alachua County for 8 years where I was responsible for tutoring, mentoring, and facilitating a gang prevention class. After, I was employed at Boys Hope Girls Hope, a residential scholarship program for academically capable students. I did this position for approximately 2 years before entering into grad school this past May. With this position I was a live-in counselor responsible for academic tutoring, mentoring, and ultimately parenting the youth that live in the house.
I am a very patient, dedicated, and energetic person. I like to incorporate riddles, rhymes, and games into my tutoring sessions to aid kids in learning. It is my belief that all kids can learn. As a child I was told I would never surpass an elementary school because I was failing to thrive. There were so many people who believed in me and as a result I incorporate the same ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned two bachelor's degrees. My double major, Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering, provided me with a thorough understanding of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I also have a solid foundation in grammar and technical writing, due to the need for extensive explanation of difficult concepts in engineering reports and projects. During my time in college I worked as a tutor in the Santa Fe College math lab where I tutored students in intermediate algebra, college algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus 1, calculus 2, calculus 3, and differential equations. I also have experience tutoring physics and chemistry.
I enjoy teaching because it allows me to contribute to a student's understanding of invaluable concepts which will improve and enrich their lives. I am sociable and easy to talk to, and I rememb ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching students of all ages. All individuals are different, but with patience, consideration and understanding students can improve their understanding of subjects and their learning skills; particularly in independent tutoring sessions. I believe in mixing instructional methods when teaching, including the use of modern means such as computer software. However, when tutoring I believe it is primarily important to engage the student, be creative and understanding. My personal goal is to be give my students a great opportunity for success in later life.
I lived practically on my own since I was 14 years old, when my parents had to return to Venezuela. However, with hard work, resilience, constant effort and the help of good individuals, I have been able to succeed in the United States. I recently finished finishing my MA at the University of Florida where I worked as a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I'm a chemical engineer and tutor with a strong interest in education. My background includes extensive tutoring and mentoring experience over the last 8 years. I am motivated and patient with students who have trouble grasping mathematical concepts. I have worked with diverse groups of students ranging from third grade to high school and college students. My engineering experience gives me a wealth of applications from which to draw examples and explain how equations work.
My approach encourages lots of practice and uses analogies and examples as frequently as necessary to get a particular point across. I am focused on making the subject matter both comprehensible and routine, with particular emphasis on checking answers and estimation. I will also make the most of technology to aid student understanding and encourage student interaction.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that good teaching, like quality learning, comes with hard work. Having had the chance to see students grow with time, I have learned that patience, respect, and having fun are the best ingredients for a productive and positive learning experience. Often times, having a positive mentor can be that major difference in a student's life, and to that end I believe that tutoring is about more than just academic learning, but also about building relationships and learning essential life skills.
Although my chosen field of study is history, my passion is for education and learning. While earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have acquired an essential skill set for working in the academic world, which includes excellent writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills, in addition to a proficiency in Spanish acquired through years of classroom study and travel in L ... read more

I begin my tutoring session by determining the area of Spanish or English Grammar in which the student shows the most difficulty. I ask my student to present a copy of his or her last exam. I engage the student in Spanish conversation at the appropriate level, and I examine his or her reading and writing ability in the language. In contrast to what I have observed from many careless and indifferent teachers even at the college level, I am strict, but very patient about proper pronunciation, asking the student to repeat the text after me, until he or she pronounces each word correctly. I derive great satisfaction seeing the results of my tutoring efforts.
During my Doctoral studies in Spanish Literature at University of Florida from 1992 through 2005, I have tutored several students in Spanish, and some in English Grammar. Some individual students used my services over long periods, ... read more

I graudated from Oberlin College in 2005. My coursework included not only music instruction classes, but also general education courses. During my time at Oberlin I worked as an ESL tutor. After graduation I moved to the country of Ecuador to serve as a music and English teacher. After returning to the U.S. I was employed as a substitute teacher in Florida. I substituted in all education levels. In the fall of 2006 I will enter the University of Florida's Levin College of Law. I'm also the oldest of ten children, six of whom are adopted and have special needs. This personal experience has given me great insight into the lives of children with disabilities.
Children are complex beings and I find teaching to be extremely challenging. I always strive to find the best means possible for maximizing the potential of each learner. Every student is different and so I strive to a ... read more

As a graduate with High Honors from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine I know the importance of instructors that are not only knowledgeable in their fields but possess the skills to effectively communicate their knowledge. As a veterinarian I effectively educate my clients daily. I have also tutored my own children in many subjects and done private tutoring in Elementary Spanish, Biology, and Algebra at the high school level. I have taught Cardiovascular Anatomy and Physiology to Cardiovascular Technology students at Santa Fe College. I am a guardian ad litem volunteer. I have also worked at Camp To Belong for three years with siblings separated by foster care. Both programs involve mentoring at-risk children.
There is not a best way to teach. Each child learns in a unique way for each subject. Some can learn easier if the lesson is put to music and the ... read more
