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

Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I &

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

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 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 students at ease- and it is proven that a tense mind can not learn, only when the student loses their anxiety over the material will they absorb it! 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 ar

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.

A teacher needs to be patient, dedicated, and caring with students. These are all qualities I possess, and I work my hardest to ensure that children I work with are progressing academically. I am knowledgeable on different learning styles and am aware of the fact that each child learns in a unique way. I like to come up with creative ways to make learning material interesting and fun for students. I am also trained in a variety of memory and study techniques that I share with students to enhance their learning and test taking. I received my BA in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, with a 4.0 GPA. I began mentoring youth with the Key Club during my sophomore year in high school, and I have been volunteering with multiple agencies since then. I enjoy teaching children and am knowledgeable in several subjects, with science being my strongest. As a Junior Achievement v

I graduated from Nova Southeastern University; I earned a B.S. in Psychology, I have tutored in many subject areas math, physics, chemistry, social studies, writing, communication, and computer skills. In addition, I have learned a deep understanding of the mind and how different each person learns. I am a C.B.A. (Certified Behavior Analysis) I have volunteered teaching children at school, the classroom, the lunch room, the play ground. I am a mother of 4 children, they are honor roll students; I was a horseback riding instructor for 6 years; I have coached cheer for the last 6 years and softball for 13 years. I can determine how to find what motivates a person and implement that motivator in their learning. I love children; teaching children is a way of life for me. I am honored and privileged to be a part of the learning and growing process of your child. Together we will set ach

I was involved with a youth program for most of my time in college, so I am able to relate easily to a variety of ages and work with them in such a way that they feel comfortable and confident. My teaching style is relaxed but still organized, and I do a good job of communicating with students no matter their learning style. I graduated from UCF in 2006 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering, and I've been working as an engineer and project manager in the field ever since. My job requires several certifications that I've had to complete and pass, which is to say math and science are two subjects I use on a daily basis! Math and science are subjects I excelled at while in school and I do have some previous tutoring experience among family friends (the students I tutored were in middle school and high school).

During my time at University of Florida, I tutored at the student academic support center for many subjects including physics I and II, inorganic chem I and II, organic chem I and II, biology I and II, and Calculus I. I helped students there for a year and a half. I make sure that students completely understand the subject instead of just memorizing it. I do this by explaining the subject in multiple ways and focusing on the method that the student seems to understand the best. I take the responsibility of teaching very personally and make it my goal to make sure they are learning, understanding, and advancing.

The most rewarding feeling is to help a student achieve academic success. How I define this success is as individual as each student I work with. I believe that learning should be student centered; teaching students how to think rather than what to think. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn and be successful in school. It is my role to help them find what methods and strategies work for them. It is my privilege and honor to help your child reach his or her full potential. I have always been very curious and interested in the world around me. These natural curiosities lead to my love of science and math. My bachelor’s degree is in Laboratory Science and I have a special post-bachelorette certificate in Physiological Sciences. With my commitment to be a life-long learner, I have completed advanced course work in Earth-Space Science, Biology, Chemistry, Animal Sciences

I have a lot of experience tutoring friends and classmates throughout my college career. There are a couple students I have worked with for a couple of years, who are people I met through school and work. I mainly tutored in English Composition and English Literature, as it is my main area of study and I'm very experienced in it. I'm back at UCF now as an English Major and am taking classes in Communication Disorders because I eventually would like to work in Special Education. I have a lot of patience and a great understanding of how to help people learn. I find it a lot easier to teach something you're passionate about. I have helped tutor people before in subjects outside my major, but couldn't give much insight. In those instances I just helped develop better organization and study skills. I also have experience working with special needs children and teenagers.

Most students want to succeed, but often believe they cannot or simply don’t know how. I believe that teachers are responsible for finding the most effective ways to not only impart information, but to empower students to take responsibility for their own learning. An appealing way to attract students to complex topics is through current news and events, making these subjects part of a student's own daily life, rather than the dry material of assigned reading. Seemingly abstract principles become more real by recounting pertinent personal experiences. Since there is a natural tendency to teach in the way that one best learns the material, I make a conscious effort to vary my presentation and teaching techniques to reach as many students as possible. I have taught people of all ages, including children, students (elementary, high school and college), and the public through my early jo

I'm about to start my last semester at University of Central Florida to get a BS in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. I feel that my background in psychology helps me better understand the best ways to help different students understand the material. I've tutored students in FCAT reading and also assisted a kindergarten class and have helped several students with special needs. I also have a strong background in general education classes. I've always been interested in helping children. I have a background in cognitive learning and learning skills that can provide a student with a unique and efficient way to understand the material they are struggling with. I'm patient, but determined to help children achieve their goals.
