A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a student at the University of Florida. I have a passion for helping others specially in the areas of Math and Spanish. I am naturally good at math and love it therefore I love helping others learn it. I am also a fluent Spanish speaker which will help anyone trying to become better and eventually fluent in Spanish. I love teaching and watching my students LEARN. I am not satisfied until I know my student has understood the subject very well.
My way of teaching can vary depending on the student because not all students learn the same. Some students can be completely clueless about a certain area or problem, while others may know a little more but get lost at a certain point. What I tend to do is to carefully go over the book instructions, chapter section, notes etc.. because I know that sometimes part the reason why they don't understand is because he/she did not rea ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching because it allows me to contribute to a student's understanding of invaluable concepts which will improve and enrich their lives. I am sociable and easy to talk to, and I remember what it was like being in school and struggling with difficult concepts. All students can learn, and I believe that the key is finding a way for each individual student to personally relate to the material. If difficult concepts can be presented in a way that is tailored to each student's specific needs and interests, their potential may be reached.
As a graduate of the University of Florida, I earned two bachelor's degrees. My double major, Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering, provided me with a thorough understanding of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I also have a solid foundation in grammar and technical writing, due to the need for extensive explanation of diff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that tutoring is a great way to assist teachers. The reason I say this is because teachers often have many children in their classes and as a tutor I would be able to work one on one with a child who might need a little extra attention. I also thing that when children are given a chance to grasp difficult ideas they gain self confidence and become encouraged to persevere. I also believe that children can learn to love learning, and a child who is given the chance to be encouraged in their learning they will develop a love to the act of learning and therefore become life long learners. I believe in the ability of children and look forward to working with them in a way that will give them confidence and encouragement to work hard and succeed in school.

I teach at the intersection of affirmation and discipline: I believe in celebrating student learning and creativity, while also taking knowledge—and students—seriously. My experience in a summer camp setting has taught me to meet each student where they are and co-create unique strategies for success. I believe in teaching the value of dialogue and cross-disciplinary thinking, in addition to helping students learn academic material and skills.
As a student at Rollins College, I had the opportunity to serve as a peer mentor to a group of first-year students. I also worked in the writing center and as an editor for a literary journal. My studies in anthropology and experience writing an honors thesis on homelessness taught me to think critically and holistically.

I believe that good teaching, like quality learning, comes with hard work. Having had the chance to see students grow with time, I have learned that patience, respect, and having fun are the best ingredients for a productive and positive learning experience. Often times, having a positive mentor can be that major difference in a student's life, and to that end I believe that tutoring is about more than just academic learning, but also about building relationships and learning essential life skills.
Although my chosen field of study is history, my passion is for education and learning. While earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have acquired an essential skill set for working in the academic world, which includes excellent writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills, in addition to a proficiency in Spanish acquired through years of classroom study and travel in L ... read more

I respect children because I find I can learn just as much from them as they can from me. I believe an important step in becoming a good student is self-confidence; because of this, I try to be as motivating and encouraging as possible to my students. I also try to make learning fun, highlighting how interesting a certain concept may be or how practical it is to daily life. I am patient and friendly, so that students can feel comfortable with me and not feel shy to tell me when they do not understand something. My goals are 1) to help students enjoy learning and 2) to help students realize that with hard work and dedication they can accomplish their goals.
Through hard work and diligence, I have been able to achieve my academic and career goals; I enjoy helping young students achieve their goals by imparting the study skills and knowledge I have learned. I completed a math, sc ... read more

I begin my tutoring session by determining the area of Spanish or English Grammar in which the student shows the most difficulty. I ask my student to present a copy of his or her last exam. I engage the student in Spanish conversation at the appropriate level, and I examine his or her reading and writing ability in the language. In contrast to what I have observed from many careless and indifferent teachers even at the college level, I am strict, but very patient about proper pronunciation, asking the student to repeat the text after me, until he or she pronounces each word correctly. I derive great satisfaction seeing the results of my tutoring efforts.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient, dedicated, and energetic person. I like to incorporate riddles, rhymes, and games into my tutoring sessions to aid kids in learning. It is my belief that all kids can learn. As a child I was told I would never surpass an elementary school because I was failing to thrive. There were so many people who believed in me and as a result I incorporate the same mindset they had with me to contribute to the successes of children who are much like I was.

A Little Bit About Me...

Children are complex beings and I find teaching to be extremely challenging. I always strive to find the best means possible for maximizing the potential of each learner. Every student is different and so I strive to accomodate every student's learning styles. As a musician I often use the arts as a means of guiding students in other subject areas. By doing this, I believe I am a more effective teacher, but most importantly the student becomes more successful. A positive learning experience for a child can have far reaching effects. Ultimately, I believe that a teacher and a student's family are the most powerful influences in a child's life. It is always my hope that every child can become a productive and ethical citizen.

A Little Bit About Me...

A child perennial question of “Why?” sets in motion the intent of my teaching philosophy, in which I, as the instructor, facilitate the discovery of possibilities to most of their queries. I propose a teaching philosophy in which the student reverts to that infantile state of wanting to know more. Motivating my students to learn is one of my primary goals as an instructor. I cannot simply relay information without a specific sense of purpose because that only perpetuates a student’s aversion for knowledge. By setting in motion a dynamic classroom, we, the teacher and the students, begin a mentorship in which we meet each others’ academic expectations. As a foreign language instructor, I want the student to acquire practical knowledge in the target language, primarily by speaking the language and not about the language. It is also important that my students gain a sense of affec ... read more

My approach encourages lots of practice and uses analogies and examples as frequently as necessary to get a particular point across. I am focused on making the subject matter both comprehensible and routine, with particular emphasis on checking answers and estimation.

My engineering experience gives me a wealth of applications from which to draw examples and explain how equations work.

I spent some time in college tutoring other students in subjects such as mathematics and Hebrew. I was asked by the academic support office to tutor because my advisor knew I was a committed student with a strong knowledge of many subjects. I was honored to be thought of in such a way. I did well with my students and they respected me. I was serious about accomplishing the tasks at hand when I met with them and the overall reflection in their grades showed very positive results. I am an excellent choice if you are looking for a tutor who is hard working, intelligent, and devoted to helping his students really grasp the concepts at hand.
