I like to interact with the student I am tutoring. I want to be near that student so they can I can clearly explain what they need to learn, and make sure they can hear and understand it. After I explain everything about the subject area, I provide practice excercises for the student so that I am sure they understand it all. When I tutor, my goal is for that student to excel in that area they need help in. I am well organized person and always prepared. I am a first year student at Stetson University. I skipped fifth grade, which is the reason I graduated early. I completed all four years of high school with A's, and only about 2-3 B's. My professional subject area is Mathematics. I took Advanced Placement Calculus 1 in my senior year, receiving a "Most Outstanding" award. I also have experience in areas such as Reading, Writing, English, and also projects.

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

Practice-Theory-Practice. I try to stay very focused on doing examples and practice problems. Some theory is necessary for a deep understanding, but it has to come at the right time. The student first needs some practice or at least an attempt to appreciate the process involved in solving a problem. Then I try and bring to light any issues and cover some theory. Then we do more practice. I helped many students who had previously given up hope to pass the CLAST exam and I taught the math portion of an SAT prep course through FGCU's CAA. I tutored LD students through Adaptive Services at FGCU I taught labs at FGCU for intermediate and college algebra, statistics and business calculus. I taught AP Calculus and AP Statistics at a private school. I taught Pre-calc and Algebra II through Lee County School District.

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in". I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing. I have learned many skills, especially High Yield Instructional Strategie

My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies, techniques, and skills that will direct them on the path to help my pupils to want to succeed and to have the desire to victorious in their dreams and perceive the idea that life is predetermined by where you are; instead, they catch a glimpse of who, what, and where they can go in the creation to develop a dream. I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties. Hence this gave me experience with many learning situations like one on one and who

I have had a broad interdisplinary education and a variety of work experiences related to ecology and wildlife. I have worked directly with animals and conducted complex mathematical simulation models. I have been a teaching assistant at the college level and developed and taught a special topic class for undergraduate and graduate students. I also have several years of experience in informal environmental education at both a nature center and a zoo. Teaching science is not about teaching facts. Science is based on theories, which evolve through the process of discovery. Thus, it is important to teach a student not what to think, but how to think. With little formal teaching experience, my philosophy draws on what I have liked in my teachers. First, and foremost, is enthusiasm. A professor who is clearly excited by the subject is more likely to spark excitement in the students. Sec

I've worked as an environmental scientist for the past 15 years. I have a B.S. Biology/Limnology and completed General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Biochemistry. I have many years of experience related to preparing scientific reports. I enjoy tutoring. I enjoy sharing what I know and have learned with others. I have a 7 year old son and believe patience is a valuable characteristic of mine. I'm also very easing going and get along well with most people. When tutoring, I first attempt to help someone understand a subject especially chemistry as structured in the text book but whenever possible, if the situation requires, I will try to simplify the subject in any way possible until the student makes it over the hump and then the text version usually becomes more clear.

I have always been driven to succeed, especially in school. I graduated magna cum laude with my BA in Communication this past December. This degree increased my own ability to communicate effectively and I am now pursuing a BA in English this Fall so that I can teach high school English. I am fortunate in that I have done well in all of my general education classes, making me confident in my ability to tutor algebra I and II, geometry, chemistry, biology, earth science, and of course English, whether it be writing, reading, or grammar. This past year I have been tutoring Algebra, as well as basic math skills in order to catch my students up to their current grade level. I have worked with children for what seems like my whole life, mostly through church. I know that every child can succeed with the right help. I myself am caring, compassionate, patient, and encouraging. I believe that my

I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in biology and chemistry minor. I finished with honors, while in the honors program and Phi Eta Sigma honor society and the Golden Key honor society. Throughout my college career I had the opportunity to be a teacher's assistant for a Human Systems course, and tutored peers in such subjects as General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, and Biology I & II for two years. I mentored high school seniors and tutored them in the areas required for graduation. In the Dominican Republic I have worked with, and am still involved with, at-risk youth planning and implementing educational activities. I discovered my love for teaching and working with children in the Dominican Republic while on an alternative spring break working with at-risk youth living on the streets of the city of Santiago.

Math has always been my passion and I love to teach others. I've been a tutor since I was in High School. I received my AA at Edison college in Fort-Myers Florida in 2008. After that I went to University of Florida where I was a math tutor for a year. There, I tutored subject such as College Algebra, Trigonometry, calculus I, II and III. My teaching style is first of all to make all my students believe they can learn the materials. I'm patient, fair and easy going. I try to find how each student learn the best. I push my students to be the best they can.

My teaching style is conversational and relaxed. I am an expert at overcoming school-related anxiety, especially related to math. I have excellent listening and communication skills and quickly pick up what my students needs are. I am quick on my feet and am able to flex with nearly any situation so that the student's needs are met. I very much enjoy connecting with my students, and relating their personal interests to the material being learned. I believe that modeling is one of the best ways to teach, and students learn quickly when I explain the concept and then we model together how to find a solution. I began my education at Purdue University, where I completed three years of a Construction Engineering and Management program. I then changed to an education program at Trinity International University and graduated with a BS in Secondary Math Education. During college and in t

Assist children with daily homework tasks and supplemental assignments. Created a safe, respectful child development based learning environment. I am a recent Business graduate with a 4.0 GPA, who volunteers my time everyday at James Stephens International Academy, as a teacher assistant. I don’t have a specific age group that I prefer; I love inspiring children to make the right choices, when it comes to education. I tell my daughter all the time how blessed she is to do any kind of school activity, because I didn’t make those wise decisions, I chose to drop out of school in the eight grade. It’s nothing that I am proud of, that’s why I am committed to enhancing and supporting the education of my daughter and othe
