Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Polk City, 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 taught an array of Biology courses at College level for over 10 years. During my time as a Graduate student at Louisiana State University, I have taught college freshman and have tutored high school students. After receiving my PhD, I taught Biology at Rogers State University. I am very comfortable teaching a wide array of Biology courses. Currently employed a University of Tampa as an assistant professor of Biology. I have always used student-oriented teaching methods. For example I usually give the students real -life scenarios such as case studies to reinforce the concepts they learn. I also give the students worksheets and practice material. I have always received good feed back from students regarding my enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject.

My teaching style is to find out what makes my student tick and how (s)he learns so that I can tailor my lessons to him or her. My undergraduate degree is in biology with a focus in marine biology. I've taught multiple science classes including biology, biostatistics, microbiology, and ecology to both those majoring in the sciences as well as non-science majors. I've also taught kids in middle school up through college level.

The experience I have gained while studying Education and Psychology, along with administrating exams for Wonderlic Scholoastic Testing and tutoring has enabled me to learn through understanding, hard work and dedication. I have learned through extensive courses in Psychology on how we learn, education courses that break learning down, and working with children and adolescence for over ten years with tutoring and patience, that with the proper tools and guidance, anything can be achieved. I believe that implementing the right tools, along with clearly stating what the student needs to learn, along with discussion, will ensure student success.Using multisensory resources, creatively using the newly formed knowledge, along with pre-testing will foster memory and recall.

I have graduated from the University of Tampa with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science and Biology My name is Gabriella Runko. I have recently graduated from the University of Tampa in May 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science and Biology. I have completed an internship with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, FL in 2011 where I worked with the hospitality department and sea turtle department. Through this internship I have given multiple presentations on various aspects of marine biology to teach the public about conservation methods. At the aquarium, I have also been involved in and watched various surgeries performed on marine organism and gained insight on the medical attention of marine animals. I have also completed an internship with Hammocks Beach State Park in Swansboro, NC in 2012 while working on sea turtle nesting and research on sea turtle mig

Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I have always approached a teaching lesson as a learning opportunity. Learning is a fundamental skill. If you don't have your basic fundamentals, your student will have difficulty advancing. So, I always start with basic fundamentals such as; note taking, study skills, and comprehension! All sciences demand the ability to link concepts together. Ex. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems,etc.....! By understanding the make-up of cellular structures and relating that to tissue functions the students can fully understand a subject. This proves true with all subjects. By impowering the student with good base fundamentals, my students find it easier to link concepts together. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science

To work in the field of marine biology was my goal when in college. I traveled to Paris and enrolled at the Sorbonne University in order to prepare myself and had the intention of applying to work with Yves Jacques Cousteau. However, my studies were curtailed due to the Sorbonne's staff and students going on strike for over 4 months. I have qualified twice in SCUBA. In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits of a wide ranging education. For the greater part of my life

Minor in Marine Biology Learning is fun. A wealth of knowledge is power. Motivation and support are crucial to learning difficult material. I am a Biology 203 mentor at the University of Tampa. I am about to graduate with my Bachelor's of Science with a major in Environmental Science and a minor in Marine Biology. I typically study in groups and teach my friends the material in order to retain complicated material. I enjoy teaching other about the environment, science and biology.
