I have little experience in tutoring. However, I have always helped my younger sister as well as some children I have babysat in the past. Even thought I have little experience, that is exactly why I am on this site. I crave the experience of working with children and helping them succeed! They have so much power and potential to do great things and I strongly believe that this is right for both me and your child. I want to not only teach them, but connect with them. I want to get to know them and their strengths and hopefully motivate them to become amazing, hard working students that they have the capability to be. In the future, I want to work with kids, helping them to become successful and self expressive. I believe this is a good experience for both the children and I in helping us further on with our goals. I love working with kids and only want to help! Math comes extremely easy

I have a Ph. D. in zoology, and have been teaching biology-related topics, at all academic levels, for 26 years. Topics I have taught include general biology (all levels), evolution, environmental science, comparative vertebrate anatomy, vertebrate zoology, human anatomy and physiology, and astrobiology. My philosophy of teaching is guided mainly by one over-riding principle, respect for the student with focus on the individual. I have taken courses with large lecture sections where out of necessity the professor talked at, or worse over, the student audience, and in this situation I have noticed a tendency for students to disconnect from both the professor and the class material, which certainly hindered material comprehension. Based upon this experience, I have come to prefer various forms of Socratic dialog as an instructor. I believe this teaching style has a number of advantages. Fi

I use a Reciprocal/Practice based tutoring style. This an effective method because it allows me to interact with the student and help them grow more efficiently while holding an open discussion environment in each lesson. I then reinforce it with practice based assignments which are followed up with reviews in the beginning of the following class. This makes the student not only memorize definitions, but to also understand the reasoning behind different concepts. Business student at Florida Atlantic University. I graduated from A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts with honors in the visual arts, specializing in Architecture and Mathematics. I have also tutored for 4 years now while in school by teaching a wide variety of subjects to students from the ages of 5-20.
