My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Earth science is probably my weakest subject listed, I still feel comfortable tutoring it, but I would need some kind of list of topics needed to be covered prior to the meeting.

I graduated from Berry College in May of 2021. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Science with Honors. My major was Animal Science with a minor in chemistry. I have worked on several research projects that are in the process of publication or being prepared for publication. I never made anything below an A on my physics and chemistry classes. My specialty is in animal science, chemistry, and physics. However, I can teach lower to middle level mathematics. I am currently enrolled as a first year veterinary student at the University of Florida.
I am a very personable teacher and I like to modify my teaching approach to each student. I also employ a variety of disciplines to help facilitate a better understanding of the subject being learned.

More About This Tutor...

As I graduated from college with my California State Teaching Credential,I was able to teach 2nd grade for the Los Angeles City School District for three years. During that time I sought to gain as much experience and expertise as possible to prepare me for teaching in a school for missionary children overseas. I studied Spanish intensively for a year in Mexico preparing me to work in Santiago, Chile where I taught first and second grade for almost 40 years. I am fluent in Spanish and have taught English as as second language.
I have enjoyed very much working with children and I know that every student has his own learning style and my teaching must be adapted to them. I am patient, even with children who do not speak fluent English and I seek to encourage them to seek success. I believe a phonics approach to reading can help children learn to read quickly and confidently. I ... read more

My teaching style is focused on the assumption that my students are capable of reaching their greatest potential. I provide a comfortable learning environment, and expect my student to be at ease when working with me. It is incumbent upon me to discover the learning styles to which each of my students are most receptive. I expect greatness and use positive reinforcement when students deliver. I am always evaluating my work, looking for areas I can improve.
For three years, I worked as academic aide and tutor for University of Montana Disabled Student Services. Upon graduation and then moving to Florida, I taught environmental science to students and adults of all ages and abilities as forester for Levy county. Currently, I am enrolled in a second Bachelor's degree in psychology.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping people learn. I like to find a way that helps them remember things, which sometimes mean making a game out of studing. Studying has to be funin order for someone to get anything out of it.
I have recently earned my BA degree from the University of Florida in the field of Health Science. I have future plans to go to graduate school to become a Physicians Assistant, which will take me 2 years to complete once I get accepted. I am in the process of finishing my application now. I have great study habits seeing as I graduated with honors from UF.

I respect children because I find I can learn just as much from them as they can from me. I believe an important step in becoming a good student is self-confidence; because of this, I try to be as motivating and encouraging as possible to my students. I also try to make learning fun, highlighting how interesting a certain concept may be or how practical it is to daily life. I am patient and friendly, so that students can feel comfortable with me and not feel shy to tell me when they do not understand something. My goals are 1) to help students enjoy learning and 2) to help students realize that with hard work and dedication they can accomplish their goals.
Through hard work and diligence, I have been able to achieve my academic and career goals; I enjoy helping young students achieve their goals by imparting the study skills and knowledge I have learned. I completed a math, sc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow.
As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teac ... read more

There is not a best way to teach. Each child learns in a unique way for each subject. Some can learn easier if the lesson is put to music and they can learn a song or dance that embodies the knowledge. Others learn it if they can write it or color a picture of it. Involving all senses, smell and touch as well, can make lessons more concrete to the student. I have gained more patience and understanding with learners’ differences as I have aged and had more experience with the uniqueness of individuals. I encourage questions as a way to pinpoint where the student is confused which then allows me to go over that specific area of the lesson slowly and more clearly. I believe in the cooperative nature of learning.

Two of my greatest strengths as a teacher include rapport with students and organization. I am usually able to develop a rapport with students, which I feel helps encourage a positive working environment. I am quite organized which helps me attend to my students' needs and to help students organize themselves. In working with a variety of age groups and a variety of subject matter, I feel that I have a strong understanding of learning needs for a variety of students.
I have had a great variety of experiences in education. I spent two years teaching social studies, one year at the high school level and one year at the middle school level.

I spent some time in college tutoring other students in subjects such as mathematics and Hebrew. I was asked by the academic support office to tutor because my advisor knew I was a committed student with a strong knowledge of many subjects. I was honored to be thought of in such a way. I did well with my students and they respected me. I was serious about accomplishing the tasks at hand when I met with them and the overall reflection in their grades showed very positive results. I am an excellent choice if you are looking for a tutor who is hard working, intelligent, and devoted to helping his students really grasp the concepts at hand.
I consider myself to be a very good people person. I have a way of relating to the students that I'm helping. As mentioned above, my students respect me and see that I am serious and focused on helping them succeed in their studies. I look forwa ... read more
