Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Winter Garden, FL

During my year as an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Earth Ethics Institute, a non-profit organization at Miami Dade College, I was responsible for the successful execution of five high-profile programs. I strengthened my ability to multitask and was able to effectively implement each program’s components at their full potential and capabilities. I became accustomed to working independently under strict deadlines and overseeing many service-learning college students who assisted with events. As many of these service-learners regarded me as a role-model, I committed myself to bringing out their full potentials while mentoring them through their college experiences. I was considered the unofficial technological assistant of my workplace due to my proficiency at Microsoft Office and my ability to work at an exceedingly fast pace. In addition to this, my co-workers often request that I overview

Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I &

I am an Elementary Education Major at the University of Florida and have helped many students succeed in all subject areas, with a strong focus on Elementary Education. Some subjects that I particularly tutor in include: math, science, english, social studies, and language arts. I also supply a student with supplemental material I feel will help them learn better and at their own, individual pace. For instance, I believe that some students may learn better through visual exercises, and them others may learn through auditory (hearing) exercises. Either way, I try to figure out what a students learning style is and work on that with a student.

I teach Anatomy and Physiology Honors as well as Biology Honors in County Schools. I graduated from University of South Florida with a Bachelor’s of Science in Secondary Science Education. My coursework included upper level Biology/Math courses such as Cell Biology, Genetics, and Calculus as well as education classes where I studied topics like educational philosophy. Additionally as an undergraduate I had the opportunity to work as a tutor in several high-need Middle and High schools in the County. As an educator, I truly believe that all students can be successful in science. Furthermore, I strive to instill an appreciation for both science and learning by creating tasks that challenge students' thinking while providing appropriate support for each student.

Assisting students with their study has been the most rewarding experience, which I hope to continue. I first teach the students how to study so that they are able to fully understand the material, grasp it, and be able to apply it, and not have to memorize purely for that purpose. I have been able to apply a few simple steps with the students which have proven effective and help in any subject. I love working with children and see that every child has the potential to be successful when they are instructed properly. I have earned a bachelors degree in Business Administration as well as a masters in Finance. This education not only allowed me to gain the knowledge but learn to apply it. I am able to tutor not only in the sciences but also the arts. Throughout my volunteer experience in helping students of all ages with their study, I have learned to instruct students how to study s

I learned quickly in my career that all children learn in unique ways...what works for one does not necessarily work for another. I use diagrams, pictures, examples, stories, and labs to teach students in a way that excites and engages them. I generally have a good relationship with my students and strive to make learning fun and rewarding. My philosophy is that every child is capable of achieving success if given the right tools and taught how to use them effectively. As a graduate witha focus on science, I have learned to develop unique ways to enrich, engage, and excite students about science. I not only have a Bachelors of Science in Natural Resource Sciences, but I have many years of experience educating youth about all aspects of the sciences. I have learned what srategies work with youth so they can feel comfortable int he learning process, as well. Over the past three years I hav

My style of teaching varies from each student that I have ever had the joy of tutoring. I take my own studying skills which involve both visual and hands-on approaches and see how well it is a fit for the person I am tutoring. I know that sometimes it takes a lot of patience to grasp certain concepts or ideas, and that is a virtue that I possess. I do make the learning experience a fun one by relating it to every day life and creating activities that relay the information that is important to the student. I have always had a passion for education whether it be while obtaining my degrees, or helping out other students with their studies. I have earned an Associate in Arts in Liberal Arts, which gave me an opportunity to be a well-rounded student. I have earned my Bachelor's in Biology allowing a strong understanding of math and science skills. I have tutored students in Algebra, Biol

I am an experienced teacher, having taught in both the private and public sectors. I have taught Social Studies and English as well as three years as a head debate coach. I have extensive skills in literature and grammar as well as history. I have tutored in all elementary subjects as well as grammar, literature and history. I love teaching. I believe that teachers make the most impact in a child's life and often change the course of their lives. I find that students learn differently and like to incorporate audio/visual teaching with hands-on projects. I believe that children learn best when they enjoy what they are experiencing, so I try to make my lessons enjoyable and informative.

My scholarly and practical experience is in Marine Biology and Chemistry. I have experience teaching adults, children, and adolescents in various settings from in a swimming pool, at animal exhibits, to in the classroom. For the past two years I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge of Science and Math with my students and motivating them to explore the various facets of the vast field of Science. My experience teaching children started in the water. That is a difficult place to start as many children fear the water. I quickly learned that individual students learn in different ways and at different paces. After studying Marine Biology in an academic setting I finally became able to share my passion for science and knowledge for math with students in a way that enabled me to not only share knowledge, but motivate students to become passionate about the subjects I find so interesting.

I was a music specialist for one semester. It was a great experience that I truly enjoyed. I taught grades K-5. I was responsible for creating my own lesson plans and activities for the 40 minutes of music class. I introduced recorders to the 5th grade. Then I put together a booklet for them to teach themselves how to play more songs. They looked forward to working on this summer project independently. I tutored 5th and a 3rd graders this last year. A fifth grade student of mine was falling behind in her work load and brought home a below average report card during the first quarter of school. After my help her grades climbed to almost the A/B honor roll. Her parents were pleased with her improved grades, attitude, and self concept. I enjoy meeting new students and learning what their individual needs are to better teach them the concepts they need to know. I individualize t

As a teacher and tutor, my goal is to give children the one-on-one attention they need, while increasing their level of understanding. I believe that it is important to incorporate creativity and excitement into learning. Many children have the ability to learn difficult subjects, but lack focus. It is important to find methods that work for each student as an individual. I have a great deal of patience and compassion which puts the students at ease while they are taking on new and difficult tasks. In May of 2005, I graduated with a BA in Music from California Baptist University. Through my extensive studies and focus, I have gained a broad range of knowledge in each core subject. Over the past year I have tutored students in various subjects including Algebra, Geometry, US History, English, Writing Skills, Study Skills, and basic Elementary skills. My students have ranged from the ages
