Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vanderbilt Beach, FL

I believe all students are capable of learning. It is the role of the educator to help students identify their strengths and provide them with the tools that will help them integrate new knowledge into existing schemas. I try to integrate metacognitive tools into content teaching to instill life long learning. I have over 350 hours of experience working in middle school intensive reading classrooms, 180 hours in a 7th grade science room, completed an internship in a 7th and 8th grade science classroom, and volunteered at Naples Botanical Gardens. Starting in the fall I will be interning full time in a honors marine science class.

I am receiving my Bachelors in Marine Biology at Rollins College in May 2012. I have had experiences in many different disciplines within Marine Biology. I have worked in a biological stockroom for four years in addition to performing experiments in a lab, so I am very familiar with scientific techniques and equipment. I have taken part in multiple field studies, where I have sampled environments and classified organisms present in that environment. I have also worked on a formal research project at Florida Atlantic University, studying the presence of a parasite in bivalve populations along the Indian River Lagoon. I have taken classes in chemistry, physics, and general biology, as well as more specific topics, such as invertebrate zoology, animal physiology, genetics, ecology, marine biology and oceanography.

I have a lot of passion when in comes to teaching. I believe that everyone is capable of learning Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. You just have to be able use different learning techniques. Each person is different and I believe I am capable of teaching all ages and an array of learners. I encourage learning by using a number of different manipulatives, hands on activities, and various forms of experiments. By incorporating open-ended questions, and cooperative learning I am able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive learning environment. In addition, I utilize weekly quizzes, weekly labs and monthly tests to track the student’s progress. With over eight years of hands-on, successful teaching experience, I am confident in my ability and passion to become a tutor for either Mathematics or Chemistry. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, a minor in Math

I like to teach by example and immersion. So much of what schools preach today is rote memorization, and to a certain degree, this cannot be avoided. But whenever possible, I like to try and find real world applications and demonstrations to get my lessons across to my pupil. Throughout high school and college, I've always excelled in my school work. I was president of the math club and often tutored my peers during my spare time. The University of Florida has provided me with a well rounded education, and I feel myself knowledgable in many areas, from languages like french, spanish and hindi, to the sciences like chemistry, biology, and physics. I'm also very familiar with writing term papers.

I currently in my third year of the Secondary Education program at Florida Gulf Coast University. I feel this program at FGCU has allowed me to peruse my passion for science, specifically Biology, and use that to teach future generations of students. I originally was a Biology major, so my science and math credentials are beyond the required credit hours for the education program. I also feel my writing skills are above average, which I have become passionate about since my work on research papers, laboratory reports, and term papers. I have a little over a year experience working with and tutoring children during 80+ observation hours required for the Education program at FGCU. I thoroughly enjoy working with students, and helping them to strengthen their academic and intellectual skills required for higher education. It truly is a passion for me to teach science; specifically biology b

I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am graduating with a Bacholer's in Elementary Education. I plan to continue my education by acheiving my Master's in Special Education. I have experience in tutoring as I have worked in after school day care. In addition, I work as an assistant for a company that does science once a week plus tutoring. I am a highly motivated person and dedicated to education. I try to find what works best for instructing the individual student to ensure they receive the necessary knowledge. I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts. As a teacher, I believe if the lesson is intr

My main goal in teaching is not to have the student simply memorize the necessary content in order to achieve an A in the course but it is rather to impart the student with an understanding of the underlying concepts so that they may build upon this knowledge. Understanding the coursework will allow the student to excel in other synthetic classes and enable them to manipulate, construct, and critically think regarding the subject. I have taught many students ranging from freshman to seniors at the college level and can be dynamic enough to cater to each of their learning styles whether they learn pictorially, verbally, with power point etc. As a recent graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University with a B.S. in Biology, I plan on using the degree in order to pursue a higher education but also to teach. I not only graduated with a 4.0 GPA but I also held multiple leadership positions such a

As a non-traditional student, my college experience awarded me many advantages, as well as, many opportunities to uncover hidden skills. I began tutoring for Student Support Services while attending community college in Southwest Virginia. I worked with adults, disabled and traditional students in many subject areas. This led to establishing the Eagle's Wing Mentoring Program while attending Florida Gulf Coast University for the first two years. I later transferred to the Office of Adaptive Services where I am currently still working with a wide variety of students. As I discovered while in college, I have been instructing people all of my life. While working in the food-service industry for the past twenty-plus years, I have held supervisory positions and provided training to literally hundreds of employees. This natural ability to work with others became apparent when I began tut

I believe that one particular style is not necessarily appropriate for all areas of studies or for students with varying assets and deficits. However, I attempt to have the student as involved and interactive with the learning rocess as can be achieved, and being legally trained, often employ the "Socratic Method"--an exchange of dialogue, which maximizes the student's participation and involvement, and even, on occasion, development of the learning process. I provided volunteer services to disadvantaged youngsters in math, reading in Chicago and Florida. I have taught legal writing and was a substitute teacher in Lee and Collier Counties. I tutored and/or managed SES programs for 3 providers in Lee County and was Director of a tutoring Lee CY tutoring program. I have had my own tutoring company since 1995. I have tutored K-12 thru graduate levels, as well as SAT, ACT, and FCAT 3-12. Sub

I believe that students of all levels learn from auditory, visual and hands on experience. Each has their own preference and more often than not, uses at least two types of this knowledge. Allowing students the access of these skills will only increase their ability to thrive. Each student will perform according to their own capability using all of these skills. Students that I have viewed tend to also learn from each other in smaller groups with at least one student who excels. Smaller groups tend to bond, listen and retain the material given to them. I have personally participated in games which enhances each student. For example, using words to improve vocabulary in a bingo game or multiplication cards in which the first student in line to answer the question correctly wins or reading a book and asking students questions from that reading will ensure me that they understand

As a United States Air Force Academy graduate, I believe in the value of leadership, quality teaching and training. I have a BS in Basic Sciences; my strengths are in math, science and writing. I have strong spatial orientation skills and have written analyses of world military operations and political situations for the U.S. Air Force general staff. I have been a NAUI scuba instructor since 1991, a trumpet teacher for several years, and an inorganic chemistry and algebra tutor for the last year. I think learning and discovering is a "magical" experience. My memories of the first time I learned about the solar system and space exploration was mind-boggling. That is what I seek to bring to students--to find their interests and develop them so they have the drive to learn. I sincerely believe the process of learning and interacting with adults or mentors is how we learn social skills an

As a teacher, tutor, and parent, I have enjoyed years of experience finding creative teaching methods to help students understand difficult concepts where standard classroom methods failed. I truly enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals and feel good about their abilities to succeed. I use age and level appropriate methods to help each student best understand the materials being studied. I evaluate each individuals natural learning style; looker, listener, or mover, and use this to present materials in an understandable format that gives the student the best chance of success.
