More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

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 than their own if they are to succeed. This is where I feel that having knowledge of history and current events plays a crucial role. I believe that to truly know where you are going you have to understand where you have come from. I fully intend to give my students the experiences they need to become knowledgeable partners in the global community.
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 acquire ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 research class. Upon completing my Ph.D. I designed and taught college courses, and have more recently taught a year of science at the high school level. I have always been good at explaining difficult technical concepts in science and math, but also have a strong writing and editing background, and feel that is also an area that I am strong in from an experience/ educational perspective.
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, provi ... read more

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

I have always believed that a person who is shaping young minds should love what they are teaching to their students. I have a contagious passion for biology that is unyielding, and my students always benefit from this instruction, whether developing a love for it themselves, or simply by succeeding in my classes. I understand the mentality of young adults and am aware of the types of instruction they require in order to succeed. I know how to utilize a variety of strategies to facilitate their understanding of biology and help them reach their full potential. My patience, diligence, and love of biology make me an excellent candidate for tutoring middle and high school students.
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 a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 their full potential. I believe in using positive reinforcement and natural incentives in the learning process. My experience has taught me that students need to know the boundaries for classroom behavior. I believe this can be done in a positive, guiding fashion that leads to mutual respect of both teacher and student. Activities and projects help bring learning to life, so I enjoy making decisions together with the student which projects they would like to create. For example, we may create the solar system or learn to do a "Landscape" painting.
As a Social Worker, I have gained many skills in working with people. My field has allowed me to ga ... read more

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.
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.

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
