A Little Bit About Me...

I am the oldest of 5 siblings and have helped all of them become mathematically proficient. I am currently working as Engineer for DoD. Previous experiences consist of a copious amount (7 yrs worth) of vigorous math classes at Florida State University. My Undergrad and Graduate GPA was a 3.3. I have always understood math and have been successful in teaching many colleagues. If I cannot teach you, I will guarantee your money back.

More About This Tutor...

Having moved between English, History, and Anthropology during my undergraduate years, I've surveyed quite an extensive portion of the social sciences. I have earned a major in Anthropology and a minor in History. The workloads for these courses included several 50+ page ethnographic reports in addition to the basic course curriculum. I've previously worked with children at the Kids on Campus program at OWC, teaching Songham Taekwando.
Both my parents are educators and have instilled in me the fundamental importance of education. I enjoy working with children and seeing them succeed on their own terms. I am willing to work diligently to see a child meet his or her educational goals. I believe that a comfortable learning environment makes learning fun for a child and also makes material retention longterm. I also encourage critical thinking and personal relationships to t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always loved working with children, in any capacity. Tutoring has not only combined my skills as a teacher but allowed me to work one on one with students in a way that is not possible in a classroom setting. I have had great success tutoring students of all backgrounds and academic levels because I strive to know them as individuals and find what works best for them. It is my belief that strong self-esteem is key to academic performance. Being genuine and providing continuity in instruction are elements of tutoring that I have consistently displayed throughout my years of experience and it has made all the difference for my students and for me.
During and after completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I spent eight years as a volunteer tutor and three years as a paid tutor. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Melbourne, Florida and, most recently, as an AVID tut ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching-style is rigorous yet kind. My students say that no one has ever criticized their writing and thought so thoroughly and constructively. I'm known for my patience working with students with foreign-language backgrounds and other disabilities such as a lack of attention and focus. I learned from my professors at Swarthmore College (and a few at Penn) how to project a non-B.S. style, since kids tend to intuitively realize when their teacher has no idea what he/she is talking about. Coming from a family of teachers and professors (who have also been my teachers), I'm confident that good teaching is in my bones. I never use technology just for the sake of using technology.
I became a published author of game reviews for a computer magazine at age 15. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania in Chemical Engineering under an Army Research Office grant, then as a software dev ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In 2005 I graduated from the University of West Florida, earning a BA in psychology with a 3.5 GPA. During that time I was vice president of an on-campus meditation group that lead people in meditation and relaxation techniques.

I have excellent proof-reading/grammar/writing skills and an understanding of APA and MLA formatting. I have experience working at a military base college branch as an advisor/field representative and have gained experience with financial aid and degree planning.

A Little Bit About Me...

The ability to learn new subjects and experiences has always been a passion in my life. I strive to excel and enjoy interacting with people of all ages. I am a very social and outgoing person, and I try to place myself in positions to be active with the community. Communication is very important in any endeavor, and I received a AS degree in Communication Arts in order to enhance those qualities. I then proceeded to earn a BS degree in Psychology, with a minor in Criminal Justice, due to my interest in understanding human behavior and social interaction. During the last seven years I have helped teach English, psychology, math, the arts, and many atheletic activities.
I look forward to helping people achieve their goals and aspirations, and in turn learning from others. I am very energetic and understanding when teaching children. I try and work with individuals to find the ... read more

I believe each student needs to be met at their own level and to determine what they are finding challenging with the material they need help learning. Only by patience and respect can you gain a students attention. Learning takes repetition, but it also needs to be put in perspective so it makes sense to each student as to why they need to understand this material and how it well help them progress in the future.
