Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Winter Park, FL

Exams all come down to prep and organization! 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 & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (bot

I taught in two public high schools in Orange and Osceola Counties in the Central Florida area for 5 years where I earned the Professional Educators Certificate to teach mathematics 6 - 12. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching at a Huntington Learning Center while privately tutoring students from the area middle, high school, and community colleges. My teaching style adapts to the students current level of knowledge. I always model 2 or 3 problems step by step before asking the student to try a problem. A student is comfortable knowing that I have "their backs" and won't let them be frustrated for long. This gives a student confidence to try problems on their own.

I create a learning-centered environment that is a welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging place in which my students feel safe enough to explore and share their thoughts and observations of the world. I consistently communicate my interest in and enthusiasm for the course material by demonstrating the real-world application of the skills we are learning and by illustrating how much I respect and value my students’ thoughts and ideas. I believe the old authoritarian model of classroom teaching, in which the student is a passive receptacle, creates a threatening environment that allows for very little room for growth. I follow a more democratic approach to teaching that is participatory in nature and promotes active learning. I have over ten years of college teaching experience and have taught a wide range of subjects, including English composition, English as a second language, remedial

I have taught English/Language Arts for approximately 10 years, from 6th grade level through Freshman College. My strengths are in reading, writing instruction and vocabulary development. I have also tutored for SAT/ACT and FCAT prep. My goal with each student is to determine where their particular hurdles lie and tailor an appropriate and effective strategy to surmount them. Tutoring provides the opportunity to teach in a way the traditional classroom rarely can; that precious one on one attention to a particular student's individual learning style, strengths and stumbling blocks. Often, a student's success depends less upon who their tutor is, than simply having a tutor at all. My experience with very academically challenged students has demonstrated that I seem to have a knack for finding the "sweet spot" that turns on the lights. Tutoring lets you know every day that you're maki

Over the past four years, I have been teaching both high school and middle school level mathematics (Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus) at both regular and honors levels. With a bachelors degree in Business, I have made myself useful as tech support for both students and faculty, and with a masters in Education specializing in secondary mathematics, I have extensive knowledge of both curriculum and the tools to break topics down. In addition, I have tutored in chemistry, basic sciences, Spanish, some English, and almost every level of 6-12 mathematics. My teaching style is a combination of traditional methodologies, and more current ideals of classroom participation. I like to keep my students active, involved, and engaged. I try to accomplish this goal by putting the ball in their court, so to speak. I believe that learning is an active process, not a pass

Throughout my years of tutoring I have found that there are many different ways that people learn. Once you figure this out learning is easy and enjoyable. I first go over what my students have been doing to learn and study the material. Once we have established their individual learning style, we go over what they can do to improve in that subject and perhaps with the overall learning of any material. I want my students to feel comfortable with the material, to understand it on many levels, not just to memorize the information. I strive to annihilate the fear students’ feel of any subject they know little about or have problems understanding. I want to make a difference in how people learn and how they feel about learning difficult or different materials. While earning my degree in physics at the University of Central Florida I found that tutoring was an excellent experience for both my

Both my undergraduate and graduate collegiate experiences have given me ample knowledge and skills to draw from with regard to teaching and tutoring. The experience of doing it, however, gave me much more. While I was in graduate school at the University of Texas I tutored women athletes. My teaching career began immediately after I finished graduate school in Austin, Texas. I taught in Austin for a year at Virginia College and then took a teaching job at the Florida Keys Community College. I was a Speech Teacher. Teaching students how to present themselves in verbal and written presentation was rewarding because I knew that I was preparing them for the future. Tutoring and teaching are great because both student and teacher learn; it's a two-way street. I really enjoy teaching and tutoring because not only am I helping others, I am learning as well.

As a professional educator I have taught for over 20+ years at all levels including the college level, I have learned to look for the very best in students and to encourage them to reach their fullest potential. I have earned a bachelor's degree in History with a minor in English and Art, a master's and a doctorate degree in educational leadership specializing in instruction, curriculum and instructional design. I am licensed by the State of Florida in history, English, English for Speakers of Other Languages, Social Studies and Administration. In addition, I have tutored students in English, social studies, SAT and ACT prep and have taught online for the last 7 years. I have dedicated my life to working with children from kindergarten to the college level. It is my belief that all students can learn if provided the tools to do so. The key to their learning is embedded in the way in

Students learn best from doing things. I try not to lecture, but to involve the student in the learning process. I can lecture, but I haven't found it to be as effective as other methods. I very much prefer tutoring to classroom teaching, mostly because I am helping people learn what they want to learn, and solve problems they are having troubles with. I have worked part time as an adjunct instructor since the '70s, including 22 years with the Orlando Program of Florida Southern College, and 11 years with Valencia Community College. The later provided me with dozens of short courses in education. I also completed and retired from a civilian career with the US Army and Navy, starting as an intern, and reaching Senior Executive levels. Very recently I have been tutoring fifth grade and seventh grade students attending Lake Highland in Orlando. Also worked with math students wo

I believe strongly that tutoring is much less about the material and moreso about the student. I pride myself in my ability to identify the learning styles of individual students and adapt my teaching approach to them. I believe that each child deserves to be reached out to on an individual level, and I like to engage my students in dialogue and discussion to create that bond. I feel that tutoring, and learning, is very much about trust; once the student trusts, he/she is willing to commit to learn...and that is often the key. I have been tutoring Math and English in the private sector off and on since I was a high school student. Additionally, I taught as a substitute teacher at a private school during periods from 2003-2006. I have excelled throughout my schooling, receiving an IB Diploma and graduating Summa Cum Laude from UF. Furthermore, I have performed strongly on a range of

During my time at University of Florida, I tutored at the student academic support center for many subjects including physics I and II, inorganic chem I and II, organic chem I and II, biology I and II, and Calculus I. I helped students there for a year and a half. I make sure that students completely understand the subject instead of just memorizing it. I do this by explaining the subject in multiple ways and focusing on the method that the student seems to understand the best. I take the responsibility of teaching very personally and make it my goal to make sure they are learning, understanding, and advancing.

I highly enjoy teaching and working with children. I understand that all children learn in their individual way and I make sure to cater to these differences. I am very patient, tolerant, disciplined and encouraging. I believe that all children have the ability to do well in school as long as they are taught the appropriate tools for success. I have recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in Sociology and a certificate in Behavioral Forensics. I graduated Cum Laude with University Honors and an overall GPA of 3.78. I place a high importance on education, knowledge, as well as good grades and was on the Dean's List every semester of my college career. My experience as a nanny for the past few years has allowed me to tutor children in all subjects of elementary school. I also have 1 year of previou

I havea bachelors degree from the University of Central Florida plus coursework i am completing to earn my Florida teaching certificate. I moved to the U.S. from Sweden when I was young so I am fluent in both English and Swedish and have dual citizenship. I am currently employed as a substitute teacher in Seminole County Florida and I am doing an alterntiveteaching certificate with Seminole State College. I am a good listener and willing and able to help students with their studies. I think I can teach students the material in a fun and dynamic kind of way that will make them remember what they have learned. I think being able to make the learnin material enjoyable is the right way to get the child motivate to achieve better grades and learn more in the classroom.
