Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wacissa, FL

Have tutored up through the 8th grade level. I like to use working examples of principles. I also embrace the "why" behind the facts as a method of reinforcing knowledge gained. Most of my training has been hands on experience. I consider this a bonus as it promotes practical application. I did attend Boston University in search of a biology degree and marine biology minor. Personal circumstances made completion unavailable. I have also received certification in varoius animal care related fields and also hold the status of First Responder for Marine Animal Strandings with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Volunteer teaching English to children of war refugees. I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the s

I have been working with students in both one-on-one and group settings for going on 14 years. I began tutoring groups of children at an inner city after school program in Language Arts and Reading Comprehension.

I have a good experience of tutoring hundreds of students over a decade period of time. I have tutored from first grade student to bachelors' degree students. I have formally taught students from grades four to ten for six months as a science teacher. Recently, I helped my wife in Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Lab and College Algebra. She got straight A's in them upgrading her GPA. Most importantly, my tutoring helped my students to uplift their self-esteem, confidence and to accept learning as a process which can be made more pleasant and simple. :)

I believe children want to learn, if it is done with humor and patience. It just takes the time and effort to find the way that works best. I am a person that wants every child to succeed and will work to find the best way for your child. Even though I received my B.A. in Criminal Justice, I am knowledgeable in several other areas of study. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays because of my interest in other various fields of study.

All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored for ind

After graduating from Florida State University, I received a job at DISC Village in Tallahassee Florida as a Prevention Counselor in the Beta program. This program was school-based and involved working with at-risk middle school students at Wakulla Middle School. My duties included instructing 12-26 students in 6th-8th grade in social skills, behavior improvement, drug prevention, and study groups/tutoring sessions. I developed individualized student plans according to each student's needs. Also, I did extensive work in one-to-one or small-group situations, assisting students with assignments, achieving learning outcomes, and meeting behavioral goals. I also coached football, soccer, and baseball for 4 years at Wakulla Middle School. I enjoy working with students in all settings, including small groups and one-to-one.

I moved to NYC in 2001 to become a Broadway actor; however, I did not want to live the actor "lifestyle" and in essence become a professional waiter. I signed up for an alternative teaching program and accepted a position as a social studies teacher in the projects of East New York, Brooklyn. I quickly realized that teaching was a full time job, and I did not have time to pursue acting, which was fine because I enjoyed my experience as a teacher and as a mentor to children who needed strong male leadership. I taught for two years in the classroom, as well as all after school and Saturday programs in math and literacy. I also took up an evening job tutoring students at the local Sylvan Learning Center in Brooklyn, NY. My personal philosophy is to let children make their own discoveries. I am essentially a person that will guide a student to that discovery and ask questions all along

I believe that learning is a great pleasure, not only for the student, but also for the teacher. In order for a student to truly learn and retain information, it is important to have a teacher who is patient, respectful of different learning styles, and able to convey information clearly. I have been told by many people that I am a very good teacher because I convey information clearly and simply. In addition, I am very detail-oriented, thorough, and patient. I believe that I can help your child succeed and help him/her truly understand the subject matter that he/she is struggling with. I am a young professional with a full-time job and I love to teach on the side. At the University of Maryland, College Park, I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Environmental Science and Policy with a high A average. I also earned a minor in Spanish in 2001.

I firmly believe in students succeeding in school and life. Having a love for learning and school is the key to good grades and a healthy attitude. I don’t believe any child wants to fail. Quite the contrary, children want to succeed. When students fail, it is because the system failed them and not the other way around. I believe the key to teaching kids is to help that child experience immediate success so they can gain self esteem during critical elementary school years. Next, areas of strength need to be identified and emphasized while weaknesses need to be improved. Meanwhile homework cannot be treated as an isolated event, but should be incorporated into the learning strategy. I am a mother of two school age children with entirely different learning styles and a college graduate who has tutored friends and family for the past 14 years. I believe that learning is an enjoyabl
