I am a patient, conscientious and dedicated mentor who is skilled at helping struggling students to become successful and good students to excel.

I will help nurture an atmosphere conducive to effective study and help you with your organizational skills if needed, so that your time on your own will be more productive. As a tutor I care about your progress and will work hard to help you with whatever you need.

I believe that everyone can acheive full academic success through hard work. I understand that everyone comes from a diverse background, yet everyone posesses the same mental capability to succeed academically. I belive in the "can do - must do" attitude and I like to tailor my teaching style to the individual being tutored. I am considerate, flexible, patient, and constructive. I have a positive attitude towards tutoring and am driven by results. I am also a firm believer in helping to gain the confidence and intuition necessary for long-term academic and professional success. I recently received my BS degree from University of Florida and am very interested in tutoring students in science and mathematics. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in life sciences through writing laboratory reports, conducting laboratory data analysis, and reading scientific journals.

As a Ph.D. level student in Sociology (ABD) with all exams passed, I have 2 years of successful formal teaching experience at the college level. In research papers I have demonstrated excellent grammar and writing skills. My linguistic training includes 5 years of Latin all of which makes me a very language conscious person. I have tutored students in German, English, French, Sociology/Anthropology. Furthermore I have extensive exposure to Korean, Thai, and Japanese. My multilingual training has sensitized me to inference-related problems of students from particular cultures. I feel equally comfortable teaching in group or one-on-one situations. I am patient, flexible, enthusiastic and friendly. I put the student first; the syllabus second. I do not want to lose the student and will backtrack to consolidate the fundamentals. I strive to avoid talking down to the student but rather enco

Having spent the first 15 years of my sales career working with and teaching non-native English speakers I realise that listening skills, patience and empathy are three of the most important qualities that an effective teacher must possess. Minds are like sponges that absorb whatever they are immersed in, but at different rates, so it's important to understand that all students learn in different ways and progress at different rates, therefore flexibility and patience are absolutely required so the teacher can maximize their students' learning experience. I have spent the past 25 years in the field of direct-sales and sales-management. The nature of my products required a "consultative" selling style with an emphasis on teaching my clients. I had sales agents in various countries who had to be trained in the technical details of our equipment as well as their operation. Our agents were n

Students learn differently, as a teacher it's my responsibility to learn how each student learns and teach accordingly. I have found students who are active in learning are more productive than those who aren't engaged. I like to involve students in the learning process. I am creative and capable of applying situational learning to ensure students comprehend the concepts being taught. I have been active in all aspects of education over 20 years. I enjoy working with students and seeing them succeed in what they desire. I have worked with elementary through high school age students preparing them for their next transition.

I first assess the child's knowledge (test them) and their study routine. Following, I create an individualized plan of study for him/her. What material does the child enjoy? How would he/she like to study? My goal is to create a fun learning environment therefore the child retains the information and wants to continue to learn. Games, pneumonic, songs, dice, cards, etc. are a part of my teaching style. I tutored a 10 year boy in all subjects for about 2 years Monday through Friday which was a fantastic experience; he is now at Baylor University in Texas. I substituted 5th and 6th grade and tutored one-on-one students whom required additional assistance. I recently tutored the FCAT curriculum to students ages 8-15 as well as foreign students and a child with ADHD. The positive feedback from the parents and students has made this position enjoyable.

My style of teaching consists of two parts: first, to understand and visualize the concept and the problem; and second, doing the mechanics of problem solving. I prefer to work with the basic equations rather than memorizing the variations of the formula. I work with examples. I work as a civil engineer and geophysicist. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Physics and BS in International Business which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During my college years I was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant serving as assistant to a class in physics courses; I have also tutored adults and teenagers in physics, mathematics, and sciences in private classes.

As a teacher I strive for fair but firm. I have certain expectations for my students and I try to the best of my abilities to help them succeed. I firmly believe in the idea that no two children learn alike and therefore I use multiple teaching strategies when implementing lesson plans with my students. I have a good sense of humor. I have found it to help tremendously when de-escalating serious and unsafe situations that may arise. I believe my students have also seen my sincerity in their education and therefore try harder than they might if they felt I did not care. I have my degree in business. After ten years, I wanted a career that would make a difference for others, not just myself. As a father of two, I have coached kids and taught Sunday School for many years and love working with children. I went back to school to obtain my teaching degree and certification.

I have over 6 years of management accounting experience with increasing responsibilities. I also have financial and statistical analysis experience. I have mentored young accountants in the private sector and enjoy working with young professionals. I teach using example and practical use of concepts using practical application techniques. I prefer to relate education to real-world situations that can happen to anyone. For example, reconciling a bank account for a large company is a lot like balancing your own checkbook. I am patient and willing to give my all if the student shows the same level of commitment.
