A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Health Sciences and a Masters degree in Management and Leadership, which have enabled me to garner a profound understanding of varying subject areas. In addition, I have gained extensive grammatical skills and a command of the English language through the preparation of research papers, a Thesis and other research papers, laboratory reports and presentaions made to varying audiences.
I love teaching and working with children because I feel an intrinsic sense of accomplishment when I help children to gain academic excellence in subject areas where they previously had difficulty in comprehending the premises and concepts. It is my avid belief that education is the key to success and our children are our future.

A Little Bit About Me...

The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired through my years as a merchant mariner will help me reach my full potential as an educator. My qualifications include but are not limited to a United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain, Condominium President of a one hundred and sixty unit beach side complex in Cape Canaveral Florida, and a coach of a sixth through tenth grade hockey team.
The students of today will be the first generation to collaborate on a global scale and it will be necessary that they have an understanding of cultures other ... read more

I have had some very patient and supportive teachers and mentors throughout my education, which extended well into my adulthood. As a result, I tend to be very compassionate, understanding, and supportive of the students that I have taught and mentored. I tend to be thorough, provide a constructive learning environment, and motivate students to succeed. I am most proud to have had the experience of getting my lowest acheiving students to become some of the highest achievers and proudest students by the end of the school year. I tend to be able to motivate both the best and poorer performing students to be able to succeed by setting goals and achieving them.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach students to excel at several different levels during my career as a research scientist. As a graduate student, I tutored and mentored students in the local middle school science researc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a graduate student at the Florida Institute of Technology, majoring in Marine Biology. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, with a major in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, and a minor in Fisheries and Aquatic sciences. I have taught ecology and biology students the last two years in college and high school. I have also tutored students in biology, ecology, marine biology, and in study techniques at the college level.
I feel students learn best when they are engaged and interested in the topic. I think relating a topic in a practical and applied approach helps many students retain and apply the information they have learned. Some students work best with "Hands-on" activities (especially for kinesthetic learners), and some students are visual or auditory learners. It's important for me to provide a healthy mixture of these learning styl ... read more

As a student, I entered the field of biology both personally and professionally with a great deal of focus and dedication, acquiring not only a bachelors degree in biology, but accepting both teaching and research positions that allowed me to gain a wide range of experience in the field as well. As a teacher, I have had experience instructing marine biology to students from grade four through college in Florida, California, Costa Rica, Belize, Tahiti, Fiji, and New Zealand, delivering hands-on lectures and activities with topics ranging from coral reef ecology in the tropics to kelp forest biology in the frigid waters off Santa Catalina Island. However, my skills are not confined to marine biology. I have also had experience tutoring HS biology as well, covering a range of topics from genetics to invertebrate zoology to human anatomy and physiology.
I have always believed t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Social Worker, I have gained many skills in working with people. My field has allowed me to gain experience teaching in a variety of settings. I have taught students at the high school level in the areas of health education and general academic support. I had the experience of working as a Coordinator in a bi-lingual school in Guatemala which gave me the opportunity to be in the classroom guiding teachers and modeling techniques. While in Guatemala, I also had the opportunity to teach English as a second language to adults and adolescents. Opportunities through advanced study have given me valuable experience in writing and language study.
I find that incorporating creative and fun learning techniques into academic lessons greatly improves student motivation. I enjoy learning the strengths and interests of the student in order to create opportunities to help them reach t ... read more

While I was in college I began working as a teachers assistant at a Montessori School, I soon started privately tutoring students after school at the same location. I am a very hard working, organized, and outgoing person. I tutored students in Math, English, History, Behavioral Sciences and also taught private dance lessons.
I was raised in the Montessori teaching environment, so I am very involved with hands-on teaching methods, and relating subjects to real life experiences. I enjoy watching children grow and progress into self-motivated, independent individuals, who are self-confident in many areas. I believe all children no matter what age have the potential to do amazingly well in school and with their education depending on how much individual attention is placed on them, including constant positive reinforcement.

As a teacher, I realize many students need exra help to comprehend their course material. I enjoy giving that extra help and working with the student to determine which style of learning best suites them. It is possible for every student to succeed. It is my goal not only to have the student understand the material but to enjoy the process. I explain and show the concepts to the student in a clear easy to understand way. I encourage my students to participate in the learning process. My greatest joy is to see the light in a student's eyes when they "Get it".
As a private school teacher I hav taught all the math,science, and history courses at the middle and high school level. I have also tutored college Algebra and Trigonometry. Math is the subject I love teaching the most. I am very proficient in teaching all levels of math,science and history. I also have experience in teaching ... read more
