Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sanibel, FL

I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor. I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles.

My teaching style totally depends on the student(s) that I am working with. Not all children learn at the same pace, nor do they all have the same attention span. That said, I find that applying the “token economy” approach, in getting the children to focus on the task, is very effective. If given time and patience, children are capable of accomplishing most anything. I have been working with children for more than 20 years, as a tutor and mentor. My profession and academic education was in business and psychology, but my passion has always been working with children. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a substitute teacher, for Lee County Schools. And for the last 5 years, I have spent my summer months traveling throughout SE Asia, volunteering time in orphanages and schools, teaching the children English.

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. 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 have nineteen years of experience teaching children of various ages and abilities. I have taught second through fifth grade in the public school system, as well as pre-school through high school as the owner/operator of my own tutoring company. I have been employed with the public school system since 1991, and during that time, I have been employed by other schools for private consulting and inservices in writing. I have extensive experience in writing and language arts instruction, and a reputation for helping struggling learners as well as gifted learners soar to greater heights. I enjoy helping children learn. More than that, I enjoy helping them feel empowered and enjoy learning. When the child feels empowered, and is excited about what they can do, learning becomes fun. Whether working with turning past failures into success, or making high achievers soar to even greater heig

My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the student to learn what needs to be learned, with the underlying objective of the student learning how to learn - meaning a self-awareness of what works best for him or her. The tough learning is slugging it through the stuff that we just don’t seem to get or seems to have no value in our future lives. One book I’ve always liked is “The Memory Book” by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas for the varied approaches for using our brains. My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instruc

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 involved and interactive with the learning rocess as can be achieved, and being legally trained, often employ the "Socratic Method"--an exchange of dialogue, which maximizes the student's participation and involvement, and even, on occasion, development of the learning process. 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. Sub

I tutored students for 3 years while living in St Pete Beach, FL from 1995-1998. I specialized in mathematics at any level but also taught chemistry and physics. For the last 3 years I have been tutoring here in Lee county, in math and physics and helping 2 older students prepare for GED mathematics My experience has been primarily with high school students. Sometimes I have to present a concept in several different ways before a student can understand. I present several different approaches to understanding a particular function and enjoy imparting knowledge to my students.

I believe all students can learn. We have to meet our students at their learning level and interest level. When we teach our students above their learning abilities it creates frustration and poor self-image. I believe students should be offered choices in their education to give them ownership of the learning process. I earned an undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and a Master's degree in Special Education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I taught for the Priceton City Schools district in Cincinnati for 31 years.I taught mostly middle school in the areas of math and special education. I taught remedial math with our alternative school for "at risk" students. I also taught classroom management classes and special education classes for the Education Department of Xavier University.

I have earned a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and a master degree in Special Education. During my education at the University of Florida, I have numerous experiences teaching and tutoring during my field placements and internships. My experiences ranged from teaching one-on-one to teaching a full classroom of 30 children. I have taught from Kindergarten age to fifth grade. I have experience teaching students with learning disabilities and with emotional disabilities in resource rooms and self-contained rooms. I believe that making learning fun and exciting benefits all children. I also believe all children have the capability of learning and advancing. It is the teacher's job to find the way each and every child learns best. Each child has a different and unique learning style and discovering this is the key to being an outstanding teacher.

I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year. I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to build rel

I graduated with a BS degree from the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. In the last year I have started tutoring children, mainly in elementary school subjects. Throughout my work history, I have had many opportunities to work with and advise children and young adults through my positions as a case worker, a tutor, and volunteer mentor. I currently work as a financial representative, where my primary focus is to complete a current financial analysis for new clients and help them develop a personal financial plan to meet their goals and objectives. In every position I have had, my objective has been to help my clients define their own personal goals and working with them to develop a plan to achieve that goal. Stripped down to the very simplest of definitions, I have always sought and done well at positions that allow me to help people. Doing
