Was a Marine Biology minor in college. I also worked for over a year and half as a Marine Mammal Biologist. I have always approached a teaching lesson as a learning opportunity. Learning is a fundamental skill. If you don't have your basic fundamentals, your student will have difficulty advancing. So, I always start with basic fundamentals such as; note taking, study skills, and comprehension! All sciences demand the ability to link concepts together. Ex. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems,etc.....! By understanding the make-up of cellular structures and relating that to tissue functions the students can fully understand a subject. This proves true with all subjects. By impowering the student with good base fundamentals, my students find it easier to link concepts together. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science

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 overvie

I have spent the past few years working in various marine fields including in aquaculture facilities. My understanding of biology and mathematics are high and I am currently attending a UCF feed school working to attain my B.A. in Marine Biology. I have been working towards this field for over 3 years and have attended institutions in California as well as Colorado. For tutor requests I can be reached at joseph.packwood@gmail.com

I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor which puts students at ease- and it is proven that a tense mind can not learn, only when the student loses their anxiety over the material will they absorb it! I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanities ar

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.

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

I have a passion for teaching children of all ages. I strive to make learning accessible for all children. In addition, I rely on my kindness, patience, and professionalism to help me motivate children to reach their full potential. My teaching style is built on inquiry-based learning which helps give learners the self-confidence that is so necessary to succeed. Since graduating from the University of Delaware with a Bachelors of Arts in Biology in December of 2007, I have searched for a career opportunity that would allow me utilize my passion for education. My education background is based on my experience as a Mad Scientist for Mad Science of Delaware Valley. As a Mad Scientist, I taught in after school science clubs in an effort to spark fun and imaginative learning in children, ages 3-15. I performed science experiments for children and explained basic scientific processes for

I have a lot of experience tutoring friends and classmates throughout my college career. There are a couple students I have worked with for a couple of years, who are people I met through school and work. I mainly tutored in English Composition and English Literature, as it is my main area of study and I'm very experienced in it. I'm back at UCF now as an English Major and am taking classes in Communication Disorders because I eventually would like to work in Special Education. I have a lot of patience and a great understanding of how to help people learn. I find it a lot easier to teach something you're passionate about. I have helped tutor people before in subjects outside my major, but couldn't give much insight. In those instances I just helped develop better organization and study skills. I also have experience working with special needs children and teenagers.

Most students want to succeed, but often believe they cannot or simply don’t know how. I believe that teachers are responsible for finding the most effective ways to not only impart information, but to empower students to take responsibility for their own learning. An appealing way to attract students to complex topics is through current news and events, making these subjects part of a student's own daily life, rather than the dry material of assigned reading. Seemingly abstract principles become more real by recounting pertinent personal experiences. Since there is a natural tendency to teach in the way that one best learns the material, I make a conscious effort to vary my presentation and teaching techniques to reach as many students as possible. I have taught people of all ages, including children, students (elementary, high school and college), and the public through my early jo

I love to cater to each students needs. That's why I love tutoring because I can do this. Some students are visual learners, some learn by hearing, and some by doing. I incorporate all of these into my tutoring. I want to see all of my students not only get good grades but to truly grasp the concepts. As an undergraduate I started to tutor Chemistry in 2007. Since then I have tutored Chemistry to many different students in one-on-one and large group sessions. I have submitted by certification to be accepted by the State of Florida Department of Education and am awaiting confirmation. While in college I made straight A's for about 3 years, excelling in the sciences. I am very experienced with General Chemistry labs and lecture sessions. I am currently the Science Teacher at the First Academy Classical School program where I teach Biology and Chemistry part-time.

I started my career as an Electrical Engineer working for the Catholic Diocese in St. Louis, Missouri. As part of my requirements, I was asked to teach technology workshops to the Nuns and Brothers at the different Houses throughout the Metro St. Louis area. In so doing, I was encouraged to go back to college and secure a degree in Education; I was told I had a gift for teaching. As such, I now hold a BEd in Elementary Education and Special Education Mild/Moderate Disabilities. I also hold a Masters Degree in Educational Technology and a PhD in Learning Theory & Design. I have taught Middle School Special Education for 6 years and worked as a University Professor for 8 years. I believe that authentic learning experiences are the most powerful. Each of us learns differently and for different reasons and we all have disabilities; some are just easier to see than others. Any true learn

The most rewarding feeling is to help a student achieve academic success. How I define this success is as individual as each student I work with. I believe that learning should be student centered; teaching students how to think rather than what to think. I believe that all children have the capacity to learn and be successful in school. It is my role to help them find what methods and strategies work for them. It is my privilege and honor to help your child reach his or her full potential. I have always been very curious and interested in the world around me. These natural curiosities lead to my love of science and math. My bachelor’s degree is in Laboratory Science and I have a special post-bachelorette certificate in Physiological Sciences. With my commitment to be a life-long learner, I have completed advanced course work in Earth-Space Science, Biology, Chemistry, Animal Sciences

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. 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.
