My comments on tutoring Geography : I'm good with maps, as well as locating countries and cities on the globe. I'd mostly provide ways that would help students remember where certain places are located and how to read an actual map.

I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my academic career that unless I make the subject interesting for me, I'll never grasp the material. I make it a point to get to know every student so that I can personalize their learning style. The only way they'll learn and understand something is if they WANT to do so. I offer a different approach to things that students may not get in the classroom, to hopefully expand their interest in a subject they never thought they'd like.
I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I graduated in the top of my class with a 4.0. While there, I often tutored people in writing and research, as well as serving as a Teaching Assistant for various classes including: Theatre History, Voice for the Actor, and Shakesp ... read more

I inspire students to explore their interests and to expand their horizons.
As an international educator, I have taught in many different countries, many different subjects to a wide range of students of all ages.

hands on -
17 years certified teaching experience. opened up my own school a private home school. A fire destroyed my school in August I decided not to rebuild the school because my youngest son Gavin was saying that he wanted to attend public school so that he could play sports and qualify for possibly a scholarship or work study program to help with his college fees.

I have studied Spanish for over ten years and German for over five years. I have a BA from UCF in foreign language combination. I was a teacher's assistant for a second grade class in 1990 at Winegard Elementary School. I was a hearing-impaired interpreter at a YMCA youth camp for one week in 1990 at Tallahassee. For my last employer, I interpreted Spanish, German, and sign language for cast members and guests on a daily basis for almost 16 years. Additionally, I have tutored math, reading, and spelling for my nieces and nephews at the elementary level. Lastly, I have assisted an elementary school teacher in grading her students' homework and tests upon request occasionally over the last three years.
I love teaching children of all ages. I believe that everyone should have equal opportunities in acquiring a good education. My opinion is that all children do not learn in the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I think the most useful tutor emphasizes critical thinking. I have noticed that many students focus on memorization instead of really understanding the processes behind science, math, and foreign languages. I try to focus on how and why things are, rather than just the fact that they are. I believe that this approach provides students with a deep understanding of the material and an ability to problem-solve on their own. They can then develop better comprehension, and tend to be more interested in learning.
I graduated with my undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2002 and then worked as a research biologist for two and a half years before returning to school to pursue my master’s degree. I believe that my hands-on scientific experiences combined with my academic background allow me to convey difficult concepts to students. As a researcher and as a student, I have had to put to ... read more

I am a completely dedicated person, who is focused on strengthening my life skills and my knowledge base to continue to grow as a stronger and more well-rounded person. My background in psychology, public health, and social work have heightened my sensitivity to all ranges of people and cultures, and the needs they possess. My passion for learning has led me to develop a passion for passing along this knowledge. I have traveled throughout Latin America, which has strengthened my ability to speak Spanish. I have taken all types and levels of courses, and have helped other students throughout the learning process. I have carried out and written a research project which was then published, and it involved the use of statistical procedures.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning anything. I believe that it is up to the teacher to make the subject at hand interesting, and relate i ... read more
