High School Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sanibel, FL

I am receiving my Bachelors in Marine Biology at Rollins College in May 2012. I have had experiences in many different disciplines within Marine Biology. I have worked in a biological stockroom for four years in addition to performing experiments in a lab, so I am very familiar with scientific techniques and equipment. I have taken part in multiple field studies, where I have sampled environments and classified organisms present in that environment. I have also worked on a formal research project at Florida Atlantic University, studying the presence of a parasite in bivalve populations along the Indian River Lagoon. I have taken classes in chemistry, physics, and general biology, as well as more specific topics, such as invertebrate zoology, animal physiology, genetics, ecology, marine biology and oceanography.

I believe all students are capable of learning. It is the role of the educator to help students identify their strengths and provide them with the tools that will help them integrate new knowledge into existing schemas. I try to integrate metacognitive tools into content teaching to instill life long learning. I have over 350 hours of experience working in middle school intensive reading classrooms, 180 hours in a 7th grade science room, completed an internship in a 7th and 8th grade science classroom, and volunteered at Naples Botanical Gardens. Starting in the fall I will be interning full time in a honors marine science class.

As a teacher, tutor, and parent, I have enjoyed years of experience finding creative teaching methods to help students understand difficult concepts where standard classroom methods failed. I truly enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals and feel good about their abilities to succeed. I use age and level appropriate methods to help each student best understand the materials being studied. I evaluate each individuals natural learning style; looker, listener, or mover, and use this to present materials in an understandable format that gives the student the best chance of success.

I provided volunteer services to disadvantaged youngsters in math, reading in Chicago and Florida. I have taught legal writing and was a substitute teacher in Lee and Collier Counties. I tutored and/or managed SES programs for 3 providers in Lee County and was Director of a tutoring Lee CY tutoring program. I have had my own tutoring company since 1995. I have tutored K-12 thru graduate levels, as well as SAT, ACT, and FCAT 3-12. Subjects include math thru intermediate algebra in math, reading and language arts through graduate levels, and history, political science, and biology, geology, astronomy and earth sciences, as well as art history, political science, government and history though college levels. I believe that one particular style is not necessarily appropriate for all areas of studies or for students with varying assets and deficits. However, I attempt to have the student as i

As a United States Air Force Academy graduate, I believe in the value of leadership, quality teaching and training. I have a BS in Basic Sciences; my strengths are in math, science and writing. I have strong spatial orientation skills and have written analyses of world military operations and political situations for the U.S. Air Force general staff. I have been a NAUI scuba instructor since 1991, a trumpet teacher for several years, and an inorganic chemistry and algebra tutor for the last year. I think learning and discovering is a "magical" experience. My memories of the first time I learned about the solar system and space exploration was mind-boggling. That is what I seek to bring to students--to find their interests and develop them so they have the drive to learn. I sincerely believe the process of learning and interacting with adults or mentors is how we learn social skills an

I believe that students of all levels learn from auditory, visual and hands on experience. Each has their own preference and more often than not, uses at least two types of this knowledge. Allowing students the access of these skills will only increase their ability to thrive. Each student will perform according to their own capability using all of these skills. Students that I have viewed tend to also learn from each other in smaller groups with at least one student who excels. Smaller groups tend to bond, listen and retain the material given to them. I have personally participated in games which enhances each student. For example, using words to improve vocabulary in a bingo game or multiplication cards in which the first student in line to answer the question correctly wins or reading a book and asking students questions from that reading will ensure me that they understand

I feel that I am a natural educator. I often find my self teaching people simple tasks at work, or being called upon by friends and family members to assist them, or their children with their homework. I like to keep learning fun and interesting for all students. I believe that if you invoke an emotional response, like happiness, when you are teaching something, the pupil is much more likely to retain the information. All through high school and college I was a tutor. I have taken numerous writing extensive courses. This qualifies me to tutor English. I have also taken many courses that concentrated on Social Studies. Science was always one of my favorite courses in high school, therefore I took a few science courses in college as well. I have previously tutored students in test preparation, and I have taken the FCAT myself. Math was another strong subject of mine, and I have also tutore

As I discovered while in college, I have been instructing people all of my life. While working in the food-service industry for the past twenty-plus years, I have held supervisory positions and provided training to literally hundreds of employees. This natural ability to work with others became apparent when I began tutoring. I have strong organizational skills and have been trained in many aspects of tutoring through my involvement in the Supplemental Instruction Program at Florida Gulf Coast University. As a non-traditional student working toward overcoming disability, I have compassion and determination in my own personal presentation which lends to my authenticity. As a non-traditional student, my college experience awarded me many advantages, as well as, many opportunities to uncover hidden skills. I began tutoring for Student Support Services while attending community college

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

I thoroughly enjoy working with students, and helping them to strengthen their academic and intellectual skills required for higher education. It truly is a passion for me to teach science; specifically biology because the concepts envelop the mechanisms and structures that define life as we know it. It is important for all people to understand or at least recognize these concepts, and what better place to start is with the children. If it is true that the children are our future, then the future is now. I currently in my third year of the Secondary Education program at Florida Gulf Coast University. I feel this program at FGCU has allowed me to peruse my passion for science, specifically Biology, and use that to teach future generations of students. I originally was a Biology major, so my science and math credentials are beyond the required credit hours for the education program. I also

I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am graduating with a Bacholer's in Elementary Education. I plan to continue my education by acheiving my Master's in Special Education. I have experience in tutoring as I have worked in after school day care. In addition, I work as an assistant for a company that does science once a week plus tutoring. I am a highly motivated person and dedicated to education. I try to find what works best for instructing the individual student to ensure they receive the necessary knowledge. I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts.
