I use the material that the student is familiar with to enhance the students understanding of the principles and processes that are being emphasized. I bring supplemental material for the subject area and use it as needed. Primarily, the student works problems or exercises that are required in front of me. The student verbalizes the steps and thinking processes about the subject so that I can correct fundamentals and errors in logic. I have tutored math, business and science courses for high school students and adults for the last 20 years. I have tutored for standardized tests (ASVAB, FCAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, etc) for the last 15 years - saving parents many thousands of dollars in tuition fees. I have also assisted students with homework help, time management and study skills.

I love working with children because the impact that you can have on their lives can make such a significant difference in determining their futures. Every child learns differently and unfortunately not every child’s learning needs can be met in the classroom environment. I feel that with a little extra time and effort a child's scholastic performance can be greatly improved. Determining a child's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning along with identifying the learning styles that they are receptive to (i.e. auditory, visual, etc.) is an important step in providing the appropriate tutoring experience for that individual. I believe that an education is one of the keys to a fulfilling and successful life that I think every child deserves this opportunity. I just graduated about eight months ago with a B.S. in Biomedical Science from USF. I plan on going to medical school

I believe that every child is unique in how they learn and grow. I believe that in order to do my best in educating our children then I must continue to educate myself. Our world is a fast and changing world. The children that we touch every day depend on us to guide them in the right direction. I believe the way to reach these children is to provide a nurturing and positive environment. It is of utmost importance not only to work with the children but to facilitate learning and cooperation with parents, school staff, and the community. By working together I believe we can find the right supports for every child’s needs. It is my goal to provide an atmosphere in which children can learn and achieve to their maximum potential.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my student's lives. As a graduate from the University of South Florida, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I earned my bachelor degree, BA in History, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of the social sciences as well as rea

Teaching is as much a science as nuclear medicine. Every person, whether they are learning the same or different subject matter, absorbs information and understands concepts differently. I am a very flexible instructor and can communicate information to almost any educational level or background. I accomplish this by studying the person that I am helping and analyzing how they relate to the material they are being taught. I find avenues of understanding that can relate to everyday situations in order to solidify concepts that are being taught. I am also a very rewarding instructor, I never give up on a concept or subject matter, and always make the teaching experience fun! After I graduated from USF with a bachelor's degree in biology, I decided to further my education in the field of science. I went on to complete multiple master's degrees which has allowed me to gain an understanding o

I believe my role as a teacher is to empower students to come to their own understanding of events, theories and concepts. Due to the unique nature, cultural identity, and personality of my students this may sometimes entail entertaining a multitude of responses, calling for fluidity in thinking on my part and from my students as well. Together we sift through multiple meanings, interpretations, and conclusions continually referencing the valid data at hand. To help students in acquiring essential learning skills in all subject domains it is important to provide opportunities and experiences to develop an understanding of what critical thinking is and what it is not. I use scaffolding, modeling, comparing/contrasting, mapping, logic, reflection, peer evaluations and discussions to explore new ideas. Inquiry or discovery learning also aids in developing habits of mind that lead to cr

As a mechanical engineering graduate at USF, I have taken a wide variety of classes in a wide variety of fields that have broadened my horizon. I am currently persuing my Masters degree in mechanical engineering. Also, I have learned extensive grammatical skills as well as writing research papers and lab reports, along with other reports in my engineering backhround. During the last five years I have spent four of them tutoring classmates and peers alike in engineering as well as other fields. I have two younger brothers, ages 14 and 15, who I feel have made me that great tutor that I am today. Along with the assistance and support of my mother, we have pushed them to learn at a young age, and more often that not I grew up assisting them from their multiplication tables to beginner calculus. I feel that with constructive support and encouraging educators ANY student can flourish. I a

As a microbiology student at the University of Florida, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry led me to take a position at the University of Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor and then later I also taught in a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in introductory chemistry classes. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my teaching and tutoring skills. My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide th

I believe the best way to learn is to teach and the best way to teach is to learn. As we alternate between these roles, we all grow together. I am well versed, patient and easy going. I think each individual has their own aptitude and tendency but if the teacher, with humor and practical experience, can encourage and challenge the student to think independently and bring the student to the next level, any subject can become interesting and useful to the student. Also, my goal is to bring education close to the real world, so the student, besides succeeding in school and make good grades, also has a solid practical background contributing to overall success. I have a great interest in accounting. My study has provided me with ample knowledge of accounting as well as sharpened my analytical and logical reasoning skills.

Upon graduation from college, I immediately began teaching in a Title I middle school. Since then, I have taught for 16 years in both the middle and high school levels. I have taught students with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, and behavior disorders. I have also tutored students for the FCAT for the last 6 years. I believe that all students have the ability to learn. It is up to me to make sure I prepare lessons with all students' learning styles in mind. I also believe that it is important to build a relationship with your students and to also build a rapport with them.

I love interacting with children. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn any subject given the approprate attention and attitude. The greatest pleasure for me is seeing the faces of these children when they understand something that they were having difficulty with. My overall goal and objective is to just to help and if I can reach one child I would consider that a success. I have not had any formal experience teaching however I did take two semesters of early childhood education in college as well as two semesters of internship in elementary schools. I have tutored several students including my younger brother and his classmates. I feel that my broad education and personal experience as well as my personality encourages as well as inspires the children I have tutored. I tutored students in English, Algebra and Geometry.
