Learn from the basics

I have taught several students in India, and I am quite properly understand the knowledge and the background required to teach subjects. I was myself a college topper and a school gold medalist. Hence I can teach and inculcate the knowledge of teaching in students. Learning maths and science is something very elementary if understood from the basics and in-depth. Thus it is very important that a student should learn, read and write all in-depth. This learning curve is something that I have tried to develop in myself from years to come and hope to imbibe the knowledge of it in several other students. I had got 167/170 in my GRE thus the basics of my maths is quite strong. I have even taught several students in India about how to crack this exam and helped several for cracking this exam too. I hope to help many more of the students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I lived practically on my own since I was 14 years old, when my parents had to return to Venezuela. However, with hard work, resilience, constant effort and the help of good individuals, I have been able to succeed in the United States. I recently finished finishing my MA at the University of Florida where I worked as a graduate assistant. During my undergraduate education, I graduated with a quadruple major from Ouachita Baptist University I have tutored since high school through undergrad as a volunteer. My last two years, I formally taught spanish in a program which emulates a high school setting in the summer and a weekend tutoring during their school semester.
I love teaching students of all ages. All individuals are different, but with patience, consideration and understanding students can improve their understanding of subjects and their learning skills; particularly ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping others understand concepts that they are struggling with. It is very gratifying when a student has that "a ha" moment. I am a little strict with instruction. If a student is not paying attention or has not completed an assignment that I've asked him/her to do, I will not overlook it. I think that, in the interest of the end goal of improving grades, it's absolutely necessary to stay on task and on target throughout the process.
I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004 with a major in philosophy and a minor in geology. My overall GPA was 3.674/4.000. I enjoy using both sides of my brain, so to speak. Through philosophy, I mastered formalities of the English language and developed an aptitude for critical and logical thinking. Through geology, I focused on the practical through the application of mathematical and scientific concepts. I have tutored student ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with students. I believe all students can learn and be successful with the right combination of commitment and training. Because of a student’s previous environment and training, some require more attention and assistance than others. I am available to help your child achieve academic success in the areas of accounting, finance, economics, general math, statistics and various other business related courses. My goal is to help your child develop the confidence and ability that they need to be academically successful. I believe all children can achieve academic success if they are motivated, confident, and interested in the material being taught.
I have acquired over 20 years of accounting and finance work experience in business and government. Also, I taught college level business courses at Bethune Cookman University for 12 years. I have earned a BA i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of the University of Florida and have been fortunate enough to excel in school throughout my life. I started tutoring in middle school and continued throughout my college career. I earned my bachelors degree in Accounting so I would like to believe my education is well-rounded. My favorite/strongest subject is math but am versatile in all subject areas. I relate well with children as I have two younger siblings (high school and middle school) that I often tutor as well.
I tend to use a hands on approach to teaching. I put learning in the perspective of the students life into an experience that he/she can relate to. I asses the level of clarity needed based on the students response and actions. I like to teach visually which also helps for memorization and repetition. I take as many breaks as necessary for the student so that they do not get frustrated or dis ... read more

My approach encourages lots of practice and uses analogies and examples as frequently as necessary to get a particular point across. I am focused on making the subject matter both comprehensible and routine, with particular emphasis on checking answers and estimation. I will also make the most of technology to aid student understanding and encourage student interaction.
I'm a chemical engineer and tutor with a strong interest in education. My background includes extensive tutoring and mentoring experience over the last 8 years. I am motivated and patient with students who have trouble grasping mathematical concepts. I have worked with diverse groups of students ranging from third grade to high school and college students. My engineering experience gives me a wealth of applications from which to draw examples and explain how equations work.

I have taught writing at the college level for more than eight years. I have taught at two state universities, one of the top ten community colleges in the US, and a private technical college. I have taught both remedial and pre-college English, English 101, English 102, American Literature, Creative Writing, Technical Communication, and Writing for Management. I can help with study skills, with master plans, and with reading comprehension and interpretation. In writing, I can help students with drafting, revision, style, and of course, grammar, syntax, and mechanics. I am also quite familiar in working with students who speak another language at home.
I seek to help all students gain confidence in their writing and reading abilities. I have helped students in honing these skills in order to use writing for discovery, for organization, planning, and forethought, and for cr ... read more

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I have a Master's degree in Family, Youth and Community Science, with a focus on youth and community development. I was a substitute teacher in the Atlanta area for one year which gave me the chance to mentor and tutor several high school students in math. I have worked with kids through volunteer opportunities as well, such as a local community garden at a middle school. I have excellent written communication skills as well due to writing a thesis, research reports and running a business for the past 5 years.
I love mentoring and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but they all have different learning styles (auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic). Also, learning must be relevant to each student. For example, using sports statistics to teach math. I am patient, easy going, and fun. I am a firm believe ... read more

As a mother, tutor, school volunteer I have always enjoyed interacting with children and young people. I love to watch them learn and grow confidence in themselves. I also have taken many psychology classes and am very interested in how different people process and learn. As a tutor, I have always tried different styles depending on which one works. Younger children are more literal while older children and teens are more self aware and I find sometimes just their self image is what is holding them back (ie girls are bad in math). As a woman engineer, I have experienced this belief first hand and am living proof it is not the case. I believe everyone has greater potential than they are aware.
As a teaching assist in the engineering department at the University of Florida, I tutored freshmen and sophomores who were working toward acceptance into the engineer college. I was hired to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All students can gain great benefits from participating in rigorous coursework and being encouraged to think critically. I am a firm believer in using differentiation techniques to allow students, regardless of level, to access and engage with the subject matter in a meaningful way. Students I work with are provided with a variety of tools and techniques to use as they create meaning, and fit that new learning into their own schema. I am patient and kind with students I teach, without sacrificing high expectations to do so. I strive to create an environment where learning is valued, students are respected, and the joys of learning are discovered.
Reading, writing, and speaking are essential skills that students of all levels would be well advised to hone and perfect. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have striven to assist both teachers and students to use words thoughtful ... read more

I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of civil engineering.
I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught as a Teaching Associate at the University of Florida since 2006, when I was admitted to candidacy. Before that I taught as a Teaching Assistant at U.F. I met one-on-one with students throughout this experience to advise or tutor them when extra help was needed. I also taught at the middle and high school levels (history, art, and drama), so I am experienced in assisting students from age 12 through adulthood.
I use humor to bring the subject matter to life, and I help the student come to her/his own understanding through discussion of the course material, encouraging her/him to take an active role in learning. I am accustomed to working with students who believe that history is boring and/or challenging. I focus on major themes and relate the material to students' lives, rather than stressing rote memorization of dates and facts (although comprehension of reading m ... read more

My teaching style would be best described as creative and improvisational. Because I work with students from such varied backgrounds, I believe that the best method is one that allows for flexibility and at the same time incorporates lessons from several fields at once. For example, in both my GED and ESOL courses I incorporate music into my lesson plans. I find that music is an excellent avenue to explore contemporary topics that can then lead to essay topics. At the same time, song lyrics are poetry and can be studied as such.
As a student in the PhD program at the University of Florida, I have been very involved in academic pursuits. However, this personal endeavor reaches beyond my own experience as a student and extends into my professional work as an educator. I have been working in the field of Adult Education for students pursuing their GED diploma as well as Instructing co ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering with a software focus along with a Sales Engineering minor. I was 3 credit hours away from both my Math and Business minors. In the last 5 years, I have tutored students in Basic Math, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Calculus, Visual Basic, Physics, and Differential Equations.
The teaching style I use is completely dependent on the particular student being taught. I'm a big fan of the adage 'Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for the rest of his life'. My objective is to teach a child not only the material, but how they best learn so that they can teach themselves. I enjoy using applicable references that are relevant to the child so that they will more easily grasp the concepts. I believe a personalized approach works best.
