The most rewarding moment in my teaching career involved Emily, a college student who suffered an injury, leaving her with severe short term memory problems. She had great difficulty learning new math concepts. We could work on the same, problem over and over again and she wouldn’t remember completing it once, let alone a dozen times. I learned that word-for-word repetition was the best way to move ideas from Emily’s short term memory to her long term memory. After many hours working together, I received a phone call from an elated Emily telling me that she finally earned a B in College Algebra and couldn’t have done so without my help. Emily taught me how to adapt to my students. Each student has her own strengths and weaknesses. It’s my goal and passion to find the best method of helping each student understand concepts and excel in their class. I have tutored students of all ag

I believe that everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds; teaching begins with discovering the learning needs of each student. With this understanding, I believe that essentially any student can learn any subject if the curriculum is engineered to meet that student's learning needs. While the classroom encourages group learning, individual tutoring can meet the individual needs of each student. As a tutor, I enjoy overcoming barriers to learning, connecting with the student on his or her own level, and communicating the subject material through an individualized method. While earning my degree in English, I developed teaching and communication skills through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences. As an intended Secondary Education minor, I took many classes in education, including a middle and high school practicum. I also tutored students in grammar and c

I am a recent graduate of two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Edward Waters College and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Florida A&M University. I was able to obtain both degrees under a Dual Degree Program that was arranged between the two institutions. Throughout the completion of my degrees, I tutored college students in various math areas (College Algebra, Trig, Linear Algebra, etc). The organization I tutored under was called "TRIO (Student Academic Support)” I even had personal tutor jobs on the side (ages 6 on up). I have a knack of finding where the weakness is in a student and I try my best to help improve it. Communication and patience are some of my greatest assets. Motivation and continuous encouragement is what I provide to each student I tutor. The goal is to make the student comfortable with each problem and make sure they have a clea

My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions. I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed.

I am a person profoundly shaped by my educational experiences and thus believe in the importance of education, particularly in a person’s formative years. Throughout college, I often tutored individuals of all ages in an array of subjects. Elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college too. Upon graduating from UF I taught middle school mathematics for several years. It was certainly a fulfilling experience, and though I don’t teach full time any more, I have kept education and the habit of teaching with me. I have tutored individuals off and on throughout the years and recently was teaching classes of undergrad students on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). I like working with students and helping them to understand what they must. I thoroughly enjoy the transmission of knowledge. What's more is that I find it challenging and fulfilling to figure out what hindrances and expedients

As an educator my teaching style is very laid back and easy going. I like my students to use there own knowledge to search for a solution while I give them a little bit of guidance. My non-threatening approach tends to win over students and helps them feel relax and not fear to ask questions. My goal is to improve all students in the areas of math and help them feel more comfortable when they encounter it on there own. While attending Florida A&M University I always had a passion for Mathematics, therefore my first year I took Honors Calculus I and received a grade of a 'B'. From that point I completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Information Systems and took my passion in math and began to work on my MEd in Secondary education. During that time I had the opportunity to substitute students in 6-12 grade in two different counties. I also completed my student teaching experience at Shilo

I enjoy teaching and working with students. I now understand that all children learn on their own level and at their own pace. I am very easy going, but I insist that students do their homework and stay after school for extra help if they need it. I grade work off of understanding. It is not always finding the correct answer, but the process to get to the correct answer. I believe that a good teacher makes a good student and I strive to be that good teacher and student. I enjoyed tutoring while I was in college working in the math lab for three years. However, now that I have been actually teaching my very own students I have a better understanding of the basics of mathematics and I am a much better student myself.

My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having studied psychology, I understand that children are very sensitive to negative feedback. I have experience in how to give constructive criticism to children and how this can only encourage them to do better. Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and psychol

I earned my bachelor degree in Communications and Creative Writing (double major), which has attributed to my excellent verbal communication skills as well as my writing skills. I've worked in a variety of environments from a newspaper to a radio station, in addition to my course work which emphasized research and reading for comprehension. As the poetry editor of FSU's literary magazine and the assistant editor of FSU's newspaper, I organized others into creative and critical ways of thinking and processing. My mother is a reading development teacher. She works with Title 1 children every day in her job. Before coming to college, I volunteered over 100 hours working with a Title 1 child on her reading, writing, and math skills. She was in the third grade for the second time that year, and by no means can I take credit for the fact that she went on to pass that year, but I do believe I h

I teach in the hope that students will discover the wonders of knowledge for themselves and take that experience with them wherever they go. I use analogy and humor to give insight and make facts interesting. I relate to people by understanding what matters to them. I build interpersonal rapport as a counselor would, but discipline people's minds and behaviors when necessary. I encourage people to follow their joys and work to improve their lives passionately. I’m a 2007 Masters graduate in Communication, concentrating in OD and interpersonal communication. As a paralegal I trained business people about legal topics and legal people about how to do their job. As an instructor for Princeton Review I worked with a world class test prep course.

I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize. I believe in working with each student to develop a system that works best for the individual, which will give them the tool to learn more easily in the future. While obtaining my Master's degree I had the chance to study many different subjects as well as tutor student from Kindergarten to undergraduates in many areas of study. I received 2 Bachelors degrees in International Affairs and Art History and studied several different languages that will make me well rounded tutor.

While in Undergraduate School, I was a tutor in the Florida A&M University Chemistry Lab. This was my employment for my last year of Undergraduate Studies. After graduation, I taught for two years at an inner-city high school in Tallahassee, where I taught Chemistry, Chemistry Honors, and GED Science. I also was certified in Middle Grades Mathematics, and served as a tutor for students individually as well as a collective Educational Sponsor for the Boys' Basketball Team. I also have extensive experience in the field of mathematics, as I have taken classes from College Algebra to Calculus 3. I love working with students, and I have an affinity for those students that are hard to reach, as well as those with learning disabilities.
