High School Physics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tallevast, FL

Hi, my name is Brittany G. I am a graduate of Southeastern University where I earned a B.S. in General Biology with a minor in Chemistry and Western Governor's University where I earned a Master's in teaching Science. I have been teaching for Sarasota County since 2007. I've taught a variety of different subjects for all grade levels from basic middle school math and science to Honor's Anatomy and Physiology, Algebra, Informal Geometry, Physical Science, and have recently been tutoring for college level algebra and trigonometry, probability and statistics, chemistry and biology. It is my belief in order to effectively teach a variety of students the information needs to be presented and taught in a variety of ways. It is my goal as a teacher and tutor to discover how you learn best and help you gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

My major complaint with the current pedagogy of STEM fields is there focus on teaching students to be able to produce answers so a slew of canned and frankly uninteresting problem sets. There is so much interesting literature, philosophy, and history in the fields of science and physics that it makes very little sense to muddle with these less helpful and dull techniques and problems. Physics and math education has become so perforated with cliche that shows like Cosmos and the elegant universe can become hits by just regurgitating the same buzz-theories (Schrodinger's cat, Black holes, the multiverse etc.) in the same, cloddish language (space-time is 'warped' and twisted, quantum 'weirdness', etc). This lack of original language and analogy is not a semantical issue; it's suggestive of the philistine cleaving of the sciences from the arts and it's very disturbing -- these truly awesome

My degree a BS in Electrical Engineering, with an emphasis on math. I spent the 2011 and 2012 school year as a math and science substitute teacher in Pinellas County. I received my certification by the FDOE in math and physics. As my resume’ indicates, my career grew in applied engineering and science. My staff management work was promoting engineered products used to increase manufacturing productivity. This included complex proposals to many different industries in Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and Tampa. My leadership work was always centered on the learning process, since teaching of fundamentals was the centerpiece of my approach. There is no greater reward, as a teacher, than to experience a student discovering the material, which is important to his progress. I believe I can handle the curriculum and add to the application of the concepts to be covered in class. Using the s

I have tutored in the tutoring center at the Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, FL and also a few students taking classes at St.Petersburg College. I also currently work at the Greater Ridgecrest YMCA and formally worked at the Clearwater YMCA so I am good at interacting with children. I also helped a few children with homework after school before my shifts started at the Ridgecrest YMCA. My mother also has been a special needs teacher since before I was born and I have worked with a few special needs kids at my YMCA job. I am dedicated to work with students until they understand the subject matter.

One on one or group. Lessons taught, homework assigned, then follow up of homework assignment. My experience, (both academic and work)has been widely varied, ranging from research and engineering to financial management in a corporate environment, followed by golf course design and landscape management. In addition I used my experience in construction and woodworking to build and market patio furniture. Unfortunately the housing depression of the mid 2000's caused the business to be non profitable and was closed. Since 2005 I have been semi retired and used my construction experience to work at a lumber and hardware store.

I am a Mechanical engineer with a very strong math and science background. I used to be part of the Mu Alpha Theta (Math Team), Spanish and French team while in high school and have tutored many fellow students while getting both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I have participated in the Hillsborough County science fair for the last three years, and have really enjoyed interacting with the elementary school students and teaching them about science. I am a very happy and friendly individual; I will do my best to make learning fun and exciting.

Excellent with children, I can adjust my teaching style with the personality of the child. No child learns the same, so it is important to create a learning plan that builds trust and respect between the child and tutor. I have found my greatest attribute is the ability to make learning fun and “cool.” I am passionate about teaching. If the children you teach can sense your passion for the subject, they will absorb that energy and want to excel. I also consider myself very patient - frustration has a very negative effect when trying to create a positive learning environment. Finally, I believe in creating a benchmark style constructional curriculum. I strive to instill the same love for learning my teachers gave me. Learning is for life. My education is a private-based curriculum comprised of small student-teacher ratios. Since 4th grade I was taught intensive Spanish. A prep student,

Beginning with my undergraduate career at Dartmouth College, I have gained manifold experience in the needs of students. I was a Apprentice Teacher for the College's Language Study Abroad program in Puebla, Mexico in 2005. There I learned to accommodate the learning needs of a diverse group of more than 20 students. I continued language instruction as an Apprentice Teacher for the Rassias Foundation's Summer Program in Gijón, Spain. I gained extensive experience in writing and translation as I worked on a World Bank funded study of social institutions in Ecuador with the public policy NGO Grupo FARO. I returned to teaching this past year as a Spanish teacher at Prospect Hill Academy Middle School, an urban public charter school in East Somerville, MA. I am now continuing my education at the graduate level, pursuing an MA in cultural anthropology with a focus in environmental anthropology

I love to tutor and work with students of all ages. Every student has their own learning style that must be found to help the student efficiently and substantially. I want to provide the best education possible by learning about the student and finding the best way to display topics to them. Every student already possesses the potential to succeed in any academic field; they just need great teachers, good study partners, great learning environments, and many learning experiences. I try to present material in a fashion that will hold the students interest and I also like to use visual aids. Learning must be made fun for the student for them to absorb the greatest amount of knowledge that they can! Throughout my education I have been driven to achieve academic excellence by applying myself the best that I can. I have obtained a bachelors degree in science with a major in biology and a mino

Teaching to me comes quite easy. I have a great way of making sure the student fully understands all concepts and can apply them to any question or problem that the student may see in the future. I will adjust my learning techniques to fit the student to ensure the student is learning at an optimal level. As a person with a Bachelors degree and masters, I feel as though I am fully qualified to teach in numerous areas. I always excelled in subjects in high school, undergraduate courses and my master's level classes.

I have been working with children for over ten years. My teaching style combines creativity, positivity, and flexibility. I believe that students learn in many ways; some learn by listening, some by looking, and some by doing. In my classroom I incorporate all these learning styles so that I can meet the needs of my diverse classroom. It is my philosophy that all students can succeed if given the chance. A part of my undergrad included an internship that I completed overseas at an international school. This has inspired my love for English Language Learners and helping them to succeed in school. I currently hold a BA in Elementary Education and am in the process of obtaining my MEd in ESL. My graduate program has challenged me as a teacher to strive for excellence in all my students, as well as in my own teaching practices. Over the past five years I have tutored students in Lang

The subjects that I have taught/tutored I find interesting and therefore are enjoyable to me. I try to convey my interest in the material to the student(s) that I am involved with. I have found success when the student begins to like the subject matter and any aversions he/she may have had start to fade. When working with the student, I also make sure that he/she gets involved immediately and works on their own instead of watching me perform. That way, the student retains more and can complete work at the most important times, during exams, when I am not present. I have had a broad range of working and academic experiences. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2002 with a degree in Computer Information Systems. Upon graduation I moved back to the Philadelphia area and began working as a software engineer. After a few years and an intense personal experience, I went back
