College Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Palm Bay, FL

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

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 overview

I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach students to excel at several different levels during my career as a research scientist. As a graduate student, I tutored and mentored students in the local middle school science research class. Upon completing my Ph.D. I designed and taught college courses, and have more recently taught a year of science at the high school level. I have always been good at explaining difficult technical concepts in science and math, but also have a strong writing and editing background, and feel that is also an area that I am strong in from an experience/ educational perspective. I have had some very patient and supportive teachers and mentors throughout my education, which extended well into my adulthood. As a result, I tend to be very compassionate, understanding, and supportive of the students that I have taught and mentored. I tend to be thorough, provide a c

I am currently a graduate student at the Florida Institute of Technology, majoring in Marine Biology. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, with a major in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, and a minor in Fisheries and Aquatic sciences. I have taught ecology and biology students the last two years in college and high school. I have also tutored students in biology, ecology, marine biology, and in study techniques at the college level. I feel students learn best when they are engaged and interested in the topic. I think relating a topic in a practical and applied approach helps many students retain and apply the information they have learned. Some students work best with "Hands-on" activities (especially for kinesthetic learners), and some students are visual or auditory learners. It's important for me to provide a healthy mixture of these learning styles to

The students of today will be the first generation to collaborate on a global scale and it will be necessary that they have an understanding of cultures other than their own if they are to succeed. This is where I feel that having knowledge of history and current events plays a crucial role. I believe that to truly know where you are going you have to understand where you have come from. I fully intend to give my students the experiences they need to become knowledgeable partners in the global community. The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired thro

As a student, I entered the field of biology both personally and professionally with a great deal of focus and dedication, acquiring not only a bachelors degree in biology, but accepting both teaching and research positions that allowed me to gain a wide range of experience in the field as well. As a teacher, I have had experience instructing marine biology to students from grade four through college in Florida, California, Costa Rica, Belize, Tahiti, Fiji, and New Zealand, delivering hands-on lectures and activities with topics ranging from coral reef ecology in the tropics to kelp forest biology in the frigid waters off Santa Catalina Island. However, my skills are not confined to marine biology. I have also had experience tutoring HS biology as well, covering a range of topics from genetics to invertebrate zoology to human anatomy and physiology. I have always believed that a

As a Social Worker, I have gained many skills in working with people. My field has allowed me to gain experience teaching in a variety of settings. I have taught students at the high school level in the areas of health education and general academic support. I had the experience of working as a Coordinator in a bi-lingual school in Guatemala which gave me the opportunity to be in the classroom guiding teachers and modeling techniques. While in Guatemala, I also had the opportunity to teach English as a second language to adults and adolescents. Opportunities through advanced study have given me valuable experience in writing and language study. I find that incorporating creative and fun learning techniques into academic lessons greatly improves student motivation. I enjoy learning the strengths and interests of the student in order to create opportunities to help them reach their f

I was raised in the Montessori teaching environment, so I am very involved with hands-on teaching methods, and relating subjects to real life experiences. I enjoy watching children grow and progress into self-motivated, independent individuals, who are self-confident in many areas. I believe all children no matter what age have the potential to do amazingly well in school and with their education depending on how much individual attention is placed on them, including constant positive reinforcement. While I was in college I began working as a teachers assistant at a Montessori School, I soon started privately tutoring students after school at the same location. I am a very hard working, organized, and outgoing person. I tutored students in Math, English, History, Behavioral Sciences and also taught private dance lessons.

I love teaching and working with children because I feel an intrinsic sense of accomplishment when I help children to gain academic excellence in subject areas where they previously had difficulty in comprehending the premises and concepts. It is my avid belief that education is the key to success and our children are our future. I have earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Health Sciences and a Masters degree in Management and Leadership, which have enabled me to garner a profound understanding of varying subject areas. In addition, I have gained extensive grammatical skills and a command of the English language through the preparation of research papers, a Thesis and other research papers, laboratory reports and presentaions made to varying audiences.

I am a recent University of Central Florida graduate and have a passion for helping others learn. While earning my BS in Biology, I tutored other students in Anatomy, Physiology, Physics, Calculus and most Biology courses. I am a patient person and teacher. I believe in letting the student think through the problems themselves. And if they need help, I am there for them. But I do not like to simply give them the answer. I want them to learn that they had the knowledge, they just needed to learn how to extrapolate it.

Education and continued learning have always been an important part of my life and something I strive to share with future generations. I have two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Biological Science and the other in Dietetics. While science and math are among my favorite subjects, I also enjoy teaching English and recently had the pleasure of teaching this subject abroad. Over the course of the last fifteen years I have had the opportunity to tutor students in English, mathematics, and science. I love teaching because it is one of the most optimistic and proactive ways to change the world for the better that I can think of. I know my students leave our lessons with something more than they came in with and that their lives will be better for it. I am extremely patient, understanding, and kind. My ultimate goal is the success of the student in reaching his or her education destinatio

I have taught middle and high school students science since 1987. I have a BA in Biology and am certified to teach high school biology and chemistry and middle grade science. I recently completed level 1 and level 2 of my reading endorsement courses, and have used that while I tutor elementary students in reading. I am a hands-on type of science teacher. I believe that there's more to learning than just from the book, so to speak. My goal is to give students the help that they need with which to succeed. I like to teach via real life examples and real life applications. I truly believe that students who read succeed, so I also have a great interest in helping the younger students succeed with reading.

I have a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Natural Science and a Minor in Public Health. I worked for USF Housing and Residential Education. I also was a Peer Leader for Chemistry where I was basically a Teaching Assistant and led two sections by myself. I like the child to feel comfortable with me to where they are at ease and readily ask questions. I prefer to ask the student leading questions to aide them in coming to the conclusion on their own as opposed to simply telling them information. After a few questions have been answered then I am able to help them with the details of problem and a help them build a method for solving similar problems in the future.
