More About This Tutor...

I am patient, compassionate, and simple. I do not believe in complicating things or trying to talk over someone. My first goal is to learn the student, where are they mentally and how are they motivated. These are questions I seek to answer so that I can provide a teaching method which will better suit them. I like to make teaching fun. Learning is much easier when the student believes that the teacher is accepting and on their side. That is my goal. No judge zone! Simply breaking down the educational material into bite size nuggets which students can digest and retain the nutrients.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe education is very important and all children have the ability to learn. All children just need that extra push to take them to that next level. I am that person. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I believe in bringing new and exciting ways to learn and catch and keep children attention and interest. I am available to help your child succeed in their learning.
I just recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BS in Legal Studies and a minor in Sociology. While earning my degree I have retained many valuable skills such as writing, grammatical, and researching skills. I have a good understanding of math as well. My past experience with Big Brother Big Sister I worked as a mentor for elementary school girls where I tutored them in all subjects and found new ways to make learning a fun experience.

More About This Tutor...

For the past two years I have worked for the City of Gainesville as a Recreation Aide I. The primary function of this position was to run an After School program for elementary students at one of the City's recreation centers. A central element to the program was tutoring services for the children conducted by the staff and university volunteers. Not only did I serve as a tutor, but I also helped formulate guidelines for the volunteer tutors and educational programming for the group as a whole.
I believe that my teaching style can be described as a patient mentor that is eager to share knowledge and provide a broad understanding of the importance of the material at hand. I am open to all different kinds of learning and enjoy working with different types of personalities. I am consciously aware that children are the future and hope to influence them in positive ways.

I have worked as a substitute teacher in a wide variety of subject areas, and have volunteered as a tutor for some time. However, since beginning a PhD program at UF I have done neither. Though most substitutes are not much more than babysitters, I attempted to teach whatever subject matter was before the students. I regularly heard from students that they understood my way of explaining something better than they understood their regular teacher (though this by no means happened in every class). This happened most often in math and history courses. In my work as a lawyer (I was an assistant district attorney between law school and the PhD program) I honed my conciseness skills. I have prepared more academic papers than I care to recall during my eleven years (and counting) of higher education. My particular field of political science requires proficiency with higher math and statistic ... read more

I like to adapt my teaching style to the the student. Every student learns differently, and I try to relate the information to the student based on their learning style rather than my teaching style.
I graduated high school with a 5.4 GPA and AP credits. I graduated University of Florida with a 4.0 GPA, a minor, and with honors. I have many years of experience tutoring other students. I am very good at school work as shown by my GPA.

I use humor to bring the subject matter to life, and I help the student come to her/his own understanding through discussion of the course material, encouraging her/him to take an active role in learning. I am accustomed to working with students who believe that history is boring and/or challenging. I focus on major themes and relate the material to students' lives, rather than stressing rote memorization of dates and facts (although comprehension of reading material is important). In short, I leave students with a love for history, and I help students develop their writing and analytical skills.
I have taught as a Teaching Associate at the University of Florida since 2006, when I was admitted to candidacy. Before that I taught as a Teaching Assistant at U.F. I met one-on-one with students throughout this experience to advise or tutor them when extra help was needed. I also taug ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a former student and professional athlete, I am a very self-motivated person. From the University of Florida I earned a B.A. in History and a Minor in Education. Last year, I worked in the classroom as a substitute teacher on all three major levels of grade school education. In addition, I have been a supervisor and counselor at various camps which require long hours and spendig individual time with children.
I love teaching and working with children. I believe good communication is what makes life efficient. In my mind, good communication requires a positive, instructive, and detail manner. A better future requires a better education now, and how we pursue it is vital. Education empowers a mind, attitude empowers a lifestyle.

A Little Bit About Me...

My entire education came from public schools. I was blessed because I had supportive parents and wonderful teachers that shared their knowledge with me. These teachers were terrific role models who took pride in teaching and supporting their students in any way possible. I had a wonderful and long career in Banking due to the foundation that I had at home and the education that I received from caring teachers. Many of the basic skills that I learned in school became the foundation that enabled me to advance in my career. I strongly believe that every child can learn. We as educators and mentors have to find the right formula that will connect with each child.
I consider myself a very practical and patient person. I believe in setting realistic goals for children and when they meet them, celebrate it wholeheartedly. We need to reinforce and support our children in a constru ... read more

I really enjoy teaching all ages. From my background in coaching young children how to swim I've become well adjusted to dealing with difficult situatioins in a learning environment. However, I always want to provide my students with the best learning environment possible. I'm extremely patient and I believe that a teacher should be willing to do whatever is possible to help their students understand the material and learn.
I graduated from Davidson College with a major in economics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of both math and social science. I tutored during my junior and senior years in North Carolina and I've also done private tutoring in Gainesville. In addition, I coached 4-12 year olds how to swim. If I can teach 4 year olds who are screaming and kicking how to swim I can teach someone math or ecnomoics.

I tend to use a hands on approach to teaching. I put learning in the perspective of the students life into an experience that he/she can relate to. I asses the level of clarity needed based on the students response and actions. I like to teach visually which also helps for memorization and repetition. I take as many breaks as necessary for the student so that they do not get frustrated or discouraged. I also make them feel comfortable with me as a teacher so that all questions and comments are highly suggested and welcome. I am very patient, easy going, and considerate. Lastly, I like to tutor at a place that is most comfortable for the student.
I am a graduate of the University of Florida and have been fortunate enough to excel in school throughout my life. I started tutoring in middle school and continued throughout my college career. I earned my bachelors degree in Accou ... read more
