I use the material that the student is familiar with to enhance the students understanding of the principles and processes that are being emphasized. I bring supplemental material for the subject area and use it as needed. Primarily, the student works problems or exercises that are required in front of me. The student verbalizes the steps and thinking processes about the subject so that I can correct fundamentals and errors in logic. I have tutored math, business and science courses for high school students and adults for the last 20 years. I have tutored for standardized tests (ASVAB, FCAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, etc) for the last 15 years - saving parents many thousands of dollars in tuition fees. I have also assisted students with homework help, time management and study skills.

My goal is to make certain that I know each child's own particular learning style and use the tools to make him or her successful. I use a variety of strategies, especially in writing, to make certain that students know how to write successfully. I use several graphic organizers for teaching the writing process and work with students until they find one that is a good fit for their learning style. I also believe in incorporating technology to help them become better writers through the use of online materials as well. I believe in finding the best approach for the student to help achieve success. I have 14 years of teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary education in the fields of English/Language Arts, Social Studies/History, and a minor in French. I have taught English/Language Arts at every grade level in middle school and high school as well as the collegiate level.

My teaching style varies depending on who I am teaching and what I am teaching. The consistent skills I use in teaching are getting people to develop and use different skills, particularly learning material and being able to apply it to life, ensuring people, and learning analytical (problem solving) skills. My goals include not only teaching material and skills that will help students, but truly making a profound difference in their lives. As an undergraduate, I worked as a volunteer tutor in the Robles Park/Seminole Heights area for two years. I tutored kids in math, science, English, and social sciences. I also tought sunday school in my church where I was involved in designing the curriculum and planning lessons. I am also an experienced substitute teacher. I've been recently certified to teach social science's in grades 6-12 by the Florida Department of Education.

While completing my B.A. in Management at Eckerd, I learned how to write effectively and enhanced my understanding of grammar, mathematics, history, social studies and economics. As a volunteer tutor at a public school and at my church, I began to develop my teaching skills. These rewarding experiences motivated me to become a full-time teacher. Teaching English and Learning Strategies for four years has taught me how to address students’ individual needs. I enhanced my knowledge further by successfully completing two American Literature courses last summer. I continue volunteer teaching children and young adults at two different organizations. I discovered my love of teaching when I started volunteering as a reading tutor and youth group leader. I am most effective when I work with students in a one-on-one or small group setting, which allows me to focus on individual students’ stren

As a microbiology student at the University of Florida, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry led me to take a position at the University of Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor and then later I also taught in a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in introductory chemistry classes. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my teaching and tutoring skills. My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide th

I have two younger brothers, ages 14 and 15, who I feel have made me that great tutor that I am today. Along with the assistance and support of my mother, we have pushed them to learn at a young age, and more often that not I grew up assisting them from their multiplication tables to beginner calculus. I feel that with constructive support and encouraging educators ANY student can flourish. I am very patient, try to convey concepts in simple step by step fashion, almost how I process it in my mind. I really strive to make a difference in all the young ones who I come across in my life. As a mechanical engineering graduate at USF, I have taken a wide variety of classes in a wide variety of fields that have broadened my horizon. I am currently persuing my Masters degree in mechanical engineering. Also, I have learned extensive grammatical skills as well as writing research papers and la

My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessment. As a researcher investigating social learning theory, I have become equipped with the skills of noticing and reflecting on the behavioral "cues" of learning to further guide my students/guests to a higher ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) through engaging learning moments. I have worked with children as young as two and frequently facilitate the learning of older adult guests on matters of scientific principles and discovery. My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential which in t

I love teaching. My style tends to be very hands-on, drawing analogies from many areas to clarify student understanding. I do this through games and word play. I usually utilize mnemonic devices to facilitate memorization of difficult concepts. I have always excelled at mathematics. I once was certified K-12 in math. I have taught math at the high school level and have tutored adults prepping for the GRE. My degree in Humanities was fulfilled by taking coursework in American Literature and English, which I have also taught at a local career college.

With a B.A. from an Ivy League college and a Masters from an outstanding writing program, I am more than well qualified to begin a career as a teacher of English and writing. I have taken two teaching internships that have focused on many aspects of classroom management and pedagogy. I am a published professional writer (screenwriting, fiction, literary journalism). I am eager to share my knowledge and skills with students in memorable teaching-learning experiences. The tutoring experience indicated above has been on an informal basis. I bring superior academic credentials, strong work ethic, and a maturity derived from personal experiences, travels, and my own extensive reading and writing. I love children and I nurture a passion to become a memorable teacher. I bring energy, enthusiasm, and a desire to implement both traditional and innovative approaches in my teaching. I believe that

I have not had any formal experience teaching however I did take two semesters of early childhood education in college as well as two semesters of internship in elementary schools. I have tutored several students including my younger brother and his classmates. I feel that my broad education and personal experience as well as my personality encourages as well as inspires the children I have tutored. I tutored students in English, Algebra and Geometry. I love interacting with children. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn any subject given the approprate attention and attitude. The greatest pleasure for me is seeing the faces of these children when they understand something that they were having difficulty with. My overall goal and objective is to just to help and if I can reach one child I would consider that a success.

I believe my role as a teacher is to empower students to come to their own understanding of events, theories and concepts. Due to the unique nature, cultural identity, and personality of my students this may sometimes entail entertaining a multitude of responses, calling for fluidity in thinking on my part and from my students as well. Together we sift through multiple meanings, interpretations, and conclusions continually referencing the valid data at hand. To help students in acquiring essential learning skills in all subject domains it is important to provide opportunities and experiences to develop an understanding of what critical thinking is and what it is not. I use scaffolding, modeling, comparing/contrasting, mapping, logic, reflection, peer evaluations and discussions to explore new ideas. Inquiry or discovery learning also aids in developing habits of mind that lead to cr

I believe knowledge is the key to success and without that key the future will never be unlocked. My goal is to pass that key onto the next generation as it was passed onto me. I'm humble; understanding, firm, encouraging and I believe in learning through “trial and error.” My style is to guide students by providing them the key fundamentals and allowing them to blossom to surpass their full potential. Success only comes before work in the dictionary. I'm a recent graduate with my BA in History with a Minor in Political Science and mentored students in before/after school programs for the past six years. Throughout my studies I have acquired a ubiquitous amount of knowledge in how vital education and structure is to every culture. Furthermore, I have learned critical thinking, grammatical, and public speaking skills through writing and presenting numerous independent research projects.

I love working and learning with students of all ages. I enjoyed working in a magnet high school that concentrates on leadership, career development, and breaks the mold teaching methods. I earned a Masters degree in Library Information Science and now work as a School Librarian and Technology Coordinator. Elementary school libraries/tech labs are a happening place! During these years, I also worked as an in home tutor through Get Smart, tutored with Sylvan Learning Center, and shared a classroom with another high school English teacher at Night School. I find it very satisfying to work with students as they supplement their education. A positive environment and methodology is very important in the learning experience - especially if that learning experience is rooted in frustration. I do my best to connect the concept to a student's personal experience so they may relate and build co
