Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ocoee, FL

During my year as an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Earth Ethics Institute, a non-profit organization at Miami Dade College, I was responsible for the successful execution of five high-profile programs. I strengthened my ability to multitask and was able to effectively implement each program’s components at their full potential and capabilities. I became accustomed to working independently under strict deadlines and overseeing many service-learning college students who assisted with events. As many of these service-learners regarded me as a role-model, I committed myself to bringing out their full potentials while mentoring them through their college experiences. I was considered the unofficial technological assistant of my workplace due to my proficiency at Microsoft Office and my ability to work at an exceedingly fast pace. In addition to this, my co-workers often request that I overvie

Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I have always approached a teaching lesson as a learning opportunity. Learning is a fundamental skill. If you don't have your basic fundamentals, your student will have difficulty advancing. So, I always start with basic fundamentals such as; note taking, study skills, and comprehension! All sciences demand the ability to link concepts together. Ex. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems,etc.....! By understanding the make-up of cellular structures and relating that to tissue functions the students can fully understand a subject. This proves true with all subjects. By impowering the student with good base fundamentals, my students find it easier to link concepts together. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science

I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanities are not difficult. Actually, while my education has been primarily in the Humanities, the material I see the most in tutoring is Algebra and Geometry! I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor which puts

I have spent the past few years working in various marine fields including in aquaculture facilities. My understanding of biology and mathematics are high and I am currently attending a UCF feed school working to attain my B.A. in Marine Biology. I have been working towards this field for over 3 years and have attended institutions in California as well as Colorado. For tutor requests I can be reached at joseph.packwood@gmail.com

I am an Elementary Education Major at the University of Florida and have helped many students succeed in all subject areas, with a strong focus on Elementary Education. Some subjects that I particularly tutor in include: math, science, english, social studies, and language arts. I also supply a student with supplemental material I feel will help them learn better and at their own, individual pace. For instance, I believe that some students may learn better through visual exercises, and them others may learn through auditory (hearing) exercises. Either way, I try to figure out what a students learning style is and work on that with a student.

Assisting students with their study has been the most rewarding experience, which I hope to continue. I first teach the students how to study so that they are able to fully understand the material, grasp it, and be able to apply it, and not have to memorize purely for that purpose. I have been able to apply a few simple steps with the students which have proven effective and help in any subject. I love working with children and see that every child has the potential to be successful when they are instructed properly. I have earned a bachelors degree in Business Administration as well as a masters in Finance. This education not only allowed me to gain the knowledge but learn to apply it. I am able to tutor not only in the sciences but also the arts. Throughout my volunteer experience in helping students of all ages with their study, I have learned to instruct students how to study s

I learned quickly in my career that all children learn in unique ways...what works for one does not necessarily work for another. I use diagrams, pictures, examples, stories, and labs to teach students in a way that excites and engages them. I generally have a good relationship with my students and strive to make learning fun and rewarding. My philosophy is that every child is capable of achieving success if given the right tools and taught how to use them effectively. As a graduate witha focus on science, I have learned to develop unique ways to enrich, engage, and excite students about science. I not only have a Bachelors of Science in Natural Resource Sciences, but I have many years of experience educating youth about all aspects of the sciences. I have learned what srategies work with youth so they can feel comfortable int he learning process, as well. Over the past three years I hav

My style of teaching varies from each student that I have ever had the joy of tutoring. I take my own studying skills which involve both visual and hands-on approaches and see how well it is a fit for the person I am tutoring. I know that sometimes it takes a lot of patience to grasp certain concepts or ideas, and that is a virtue that I possess. I do make the learning experience a fun one by relating it to every day life and creating activities that relay the information that is important to the student. I have always had a passion for education whether it be while obtaining my degrees, or helping out other students with their studies. I have earned an Associate in Arts in Liberal Arts, which gave me an opportunity to be a well-rounded student. I have earned my Bachelor's in Biology allowing a strong understanding of math and science skills. I have tutored students in Algebra, Biol

I am an experienced teacher, having taught in both the private and public sectors. I have taught Social Studies and English as well as three years as a head debate coach. I have extensive skills in literature and grammar as well as history. I have tutored in all elementary subjects as well as grammar, literature and history. I love teaching. I believe that teachers make the most impact in a child's life and often change the course of their lives. I find that students learn differently and like to incorporate audio/visual teaching with hands-on projects. I believe that children learn best when they enjoy what they are experiencing, so I try to make my lessons enjoyable and informative.

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 interesting. I've been a professional full time Middle School Science teacher for two years and look forward to continue sharing my experiences and knowledge with students in various settings. As I've learned through hands-on experience as well as through formal training, patience and positive reinforcement are the best ways to get results and help children succeed in any area. Combine those two qualities in

I was a music specialist for one semester. It was a great experience that I truly enjoyed. I taught grades K-5. I was responsible for creating my own lesson plans and activities for the 40 minutes of music class. I introduced recorders to the 5th grade. Then I put together a booklet for them to teach themselves how to play more songs. They looked forward to working on this summer project independently. I tutored 5th and a 3rd graders this last year. A fifth grade student of mine was falling behind in her work load and brought home a below average report card during the first quarter of school. After my help her grades climbed to almost the A/B honor roll. Her parents were pleased with her improved grades, attitude, and self concept. I enjoy meeting new students and learning what their individual needs are to better teach them the concepts they need to know. I individualize t

I have excellent computer skills in a wide range of programs including Macintosh. I am a extensive reader so have knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Teaching is one of the greatest gifts to give a child at any age. I have been given a great opportunity to teach many children a different grade levels. I believe given children the necessary tools to self discovery. This gives the child confidence knowing he or she accomplished this on their own.

Since my days as a math tutor in college for high school students, I knew that I had the ability to explain numbers and abstract information to students across the demographic. I have a BS in Occupational Therapy, so I have the ability to functionally apply science information. I have a professional teaching license through the Florida Department of Education in Biology as well. In my current teaching position I monitor labs in which students take classes through online programs, many of these students require assistance in math, which I have more than adequately assisted them with to obtain their credit. I feel that my articulate style is also is a trait that is necessary to assist with students in essay writing. My teaching style is all about application and functionality. How do I apply it to real life situations, so that the student can better remember it. That is my first trai
