My major complaint with the current pedagogy of STEM fields is there focus on teaching students to be able to produce answers so a slew of canned and frankly uninteresting problem sets. There is so much interesting literature, philosophy, and history in the fields of science and physics that it makes very little sense to muddle with these less helpful and dull techniques and problems. Physics and math education has become so perforated with cliche that shows like Cosmos and the elegant universe can become hits by just regurgitating the same buzz-theories (Schrodinger's cat, Black holes, the multiverse etc.) in the same, cloddish language (space-time is 'warped' and twisted, quantum 'weirdness', etc). This lack of original language and analogy is not a semantical issue; it's suggestive of the philistine cleaving of the sciences from the arts and it's very disturbing -- these truly awesome ... read more

I got my first degree in English Education because of my love of literature and my desire to share that love with students. At the time I graduated, there was a greater need for elementary teachers in my area and I added elementary education to my teaching certification in order to make myself more marketable. I have taught reading, writing, at the 5th and 7th grade levels, social studies at the 1st and 5th grade levels, math and science at the 1st and 4th grade levels, and critical thinking at the 7th and 8th grade levels. I later went back to school for my Masters in Information Systems. I have tutored math in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and college algebra as well as writing in MLA and APA formats.
My greatest strengths in teaching have always been in small group and one-on-one settings. I stress language arts in every subject that I teach because language is the windo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Most of my adult life has been spent in the arena of teaching and mentoring. My undergraduate degree, a B.S. in Biology, was largely a platform for the many other courses taken in order to teach mathematics and sciences more effectively. Even after I had moved professionally from teaching to military chaplaincy, much of my focus has been on mentoring others. My range of personal experience is wide, having taught or tutored the range from basic mathematics to differential equations, earth science to physics, with Latin and Greek tossed in for good measure.
I have a teaching style which refer to as "narrative." All memorable education takes place in the context of its history and personal usefulness. Therefore, I show the student how a topic has affected people in the past and pull it into personal relevance. Discussion is crucial, not only for allowing the student to ask questions, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a chemical engineer by profession and in the teaching field. I was a substitute teacher and tutor for 1 yr, then a high school teacher handling chemistry and general science for another year before i became a college instructor handling chemistry, physics and math for 15 yrs. Being a sales representative and at the same time the manager/cashier of a family business before my teaching career, I would say I have best people skills and can handle people of different levels and ages. I love teaching because it is a very challenging and fulfilling job, especially the joy when any of my former students will remember me as an effective, understanding and funny mentor from whom they learned a lot of things.
In my experience, the best and most effective way of students to learn is by discovery method and hands-on learning by letting them develop their potentials of acquiring and applyi ... read more

I just graduated about eight months ago with a B.S. in Biomedical Science from USF. I plan on going to medical school in 2010 and I am currently studying for my MCAT. Studying for this exam has helped me to gain both a further understanding of the sciences from my undergraduate studies (chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy/physiology, etc.) as well as how the sciences relate to and build off one another. I also am a very skilled writer and avid reader. I have extensive writing experience in both general writing (i.e. for English class) and scientific writing (i.e. lab reports and abstracts) styles. I have tutored children between the ages of 5-12 as part of an afterschool program and I have participated in many peer writing review programs at both the University of Miami and University of South Florida. English/literature and the sciences are my strongest su ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a public school teacher now for 3 years, and private for 2 teaching biology and mainly chemistry. Before teaching high school, I was a chemist for an alternative energy company that made biodiesel and other byproducts for fuel and cosmetic purposes. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from undergraduate to now 4 years of teaching in a classroom.
I develop a relationship with my students to eliminate any anxiety that they may feel about science, specifically chemistry. I make it relevant to their life and their expectations, breaking it down and giving real life applications. I expect a lot from my students, but I give them the tools that they need to meet those expectations and build up their self confidence and apply what they have learned.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a teacher/professor and Dean of a University for 15 years. I got my BS in Life Sciences and one year of MS in Molecular Genetics. I continued on to get my MBA. I have taught English, Math, Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Terminology, Business courses and other science courses.
There are so many different teaching styles and learning styles. As a tutor the teaching style is going to be dependent on the student's learning style. Not everyone can teach. As a Dean, I had to interview many potential instructors. I believe that a teacher needs to be caring, compassionate and encourage students at all times. I have these qualities and my students can vouch for that.

As a USF graduate I worked diligently at achieving the best education I could. I completed my Natural Science degree at USF Tampa and then went on to complete my Teacher Certificate Program at St. Pete College. I have a strong science background and excellent teaching experience. For twenty-plus years I have worked with youth and children in education. Most recently I taught three years of middle school science under my Florida Teaching Certificate. I also coached volleyball and computer. I have extensive math and science college course work to supplement my experience.
The greatest contribution to children and youth is to help them get a good education. I love seeing students grasp new concepts and grow in their understanding of math and science. There are many different needs in the classroom and I believe I have a deep understanding of those needs and the ability to meet each o ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy helping others learn. The majority of the people I have helped find the subjects difficult, and they greatly appreciate the fact that I am able to simplify the material as well as make it enjoyable. My style of teaching consists of helping others understand the basics and teaching them how to teach themselves.
As a senior undergraduate at the University of Tampa, I intend to have two major degrees in marine science and biology, with a minor in chemistry and English. I have tutored for four years, and I am certified through the university as a tutor. In addition to tutoring, I have done lab assisting and research for various chemistry professors. Although I am qualified (GPA of 4.00) to tutor in math, English, chemistry, and biology, I preffer to tutor general, organic, environmental, and analytical chemsitry. In 2004, I was elected as tutor of the year thro ... read more

I enjoy working with children and getting them excited about learning. I believe in making learning fun. I believe that every child can learn if they can become enthusiastic about learning and I bring enthusiasm for learning to the student everyday.
My strengths are in the natural sciences. I have an MS in Forensic Science with a strong emphasis on genetics and molecular biology. Also, as an undergrad, my coursework centered on mathematics and chemistry.

I have taught physics and mathematics in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Florida. I have taught mathematics through calculus and AP Physics. The majority of my experience has been at the high school level. In addition I have tutored students at summer camps. I have also tutored students preparing to take the New York Regents Examinations.
I am a teacher because I enjoy helping students. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy seeing students reacting to unerstanding concepts. I strive to have students understanding the concepts they are working to learn. I teach at the rate of student's understanding. It is not beneficial to go on without students understanding the previous concepts. Since I have a lot of classroom experience, I can present several explanations for difficult concepts.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.
Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.
