One on one tutoring style--I provide one on one tutoring sessions that include the use of a variety of instructional strategies including worksheets, workbooks, sight words, vocabulary, Venn diagrams and charts, flash cards, compositions and educational websites. Group tutoring is available that would involve using the same instructional strategies, but the instruction would take place in a group setting of 2 or more students and could involve the Jigsaw method which involves all students collaborating together to achieve academic skills.

I began teaching/tutoring while in graduate school. I tutored undergrads in sociology, psychology, and social statistics. I also taught driver's education to high school students while in grad school. After ten years working in law enforcement, I switched to social services and I have been mentoring children in foster care for the past twenty years. I try to keep the material fresh and I avoid boredom and repetition at all costs. One of my best tools to connect with a young person is through humor. If the student feels relaxed they are more likely to absorb the information. I also use reverse psychology to turn the tables so they actually find themselves teaching me the material. This has been a successful tool with children I have mentored as well as my own children.

I have a deep passion for the sciences so my bachelor’s degree in biology was a natural fit. I discovered while working in a graduate program that I also love to teach. I had the opportunity to teach real world science to high school students, which I enjoyed immensely. I learned a lot about different teaching styles and took a course in inquiry learning. I taught the college freshmen biology labs at my graduate school and I have mentored high school and college students in several laboratories I have worked in. I recently designed and implemented a hands-on science field trip for the pre-K classes at my daughter’s school. I very much enjoyed the challenge of explaining complicated scientific concepts to very young children. While biology has remained my main passion, I have learned that a good understanding of all subjects is necessary to succeed in academics. A scientist cannot replica

I love teaching and learning new things and believe it should be a fun experience. I have an 8 year old daughter and a mother currently taking college courses so I have learned a great deal of patience over the years and developed a relaxed, happy personality. In 2005 I graduated from the University of West Florida, earning a BA in psychology with a 3.5 GPA. During that time I was vice president of an on-campus meditation group that lead people in meditation and relaxation techniques. I have assisted many people with tutoring for various types of academic and placement tests, e.g, ASVAB, ACT and SAT, as well as college placement tests for english and math. I have excellent proof-reading/grammar/writing skills and an understanding of APA and MLA formatting. I have experience working at a military base college branch as an advisor/field representative and have gained experience with f

My teaching-style is rigorous yet kind. My students say that no one has ever criticized their writing and thought so thoroughly and constructively. I'm known for my patience working with students with foreign-language backgrounds and other disabilities such as a lack of attention and focus. I learned from my professors at Swarthmore College (and a few at Penn) how to project a non-B.S. style, since kids tend to intuitively realize when their teacher has no idea what he/she is talking about. Coming from a family of teachers and professors (who have also been my teachers), I'm confident that good teaching is in my bones. I never use technology just for the sake of using technology. I became a published author of game reviews for a computer magazine at age 15. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania in Chemical Engineering under an Army Research Office grant, then as a software developer

During my years in college, I have acquired a strong passion for teaching others. I believe every person whether child or not can find their compassion for an education. I want every student to find what makes them passionate about learning. I am very determined to help any student find their learning style. Also, I am very understanding of each students abilities and learning style. I hope to impact each student's education in a positive way. During my years of highschool I strived to maintain a high GPA and recieved the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship because of my academic acheivements. My perseverance and strong ideas of education importance has led me to recently graduate from the University of West Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree. My plans are to continue my education to become a Physicians Assistant. However, my time in between schools can be at least one year. I have

There are many buzz words and phrases applied to teachers and teaching styles. While I perfectly respect all of these new theories and methods of both teaching and learning, it must not be forgotten that each student is unique in their style and commitment. Otherwise, they would not need tutoring! Creativity and patience are the keys to discovering the specific style that best suites the student. That being said, I do of course have a "style". My sessions are incredibly interactive and student driven. If a student can learn to voice their questions as well as the newly learned answer, they will not only master the topic on hand, but prepare them for higher education. Communication and interaction will always be key. Tutoring and teaching have always come quite naturally; the ability to see the struggle from the student's perspective, and recognizing the demand for creative explanations t

I believe that every child can learn. My job as a teacher and tutor/mentor is to discover which way will work best with each student. I am very patient and easy going. I believe in a reward system for all students. If students have something to work towards earning, then they are more likely to work harder at achieving their goal. I believe that I can and will make a difference in your child's life. I began my college experience as a biology major. During my studies I found that my true love was not in the field of biology, it was in the field of teaching. I have experience with a varity of learner levels including regular education and special education. My experience also includes a variety of age levels between elementary and middle school. I am currently a middle school teacher and I have taught a variety of subjects. I have taught reading, science, history, language arts,

I have always had a strong desire to learn and to teach. I work hard and I am diligent to complete a task. My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on their student. I believe that any child's capacity to learn is no different than my capacity to learn, however his or her learning style may be different than mine. I desire to teach and learn and to positively impact my student's life. I have a BA in Philosophy/Religious Studies and I also studied Environmental Science with over 40 credit hours. Due to this wide range of studies, I have strong skills in both reading and writing, as wel

College students are difficult to work with because they think they know it all. This was a blessing in disguise because it taught me not only to learn different ways to tutor a student, but also to figure out through body language and little signals as to whether or not they were actually comprehending the information. Teaching is not just giving information and hoping they retain it. My teaching style consists of teaching, asking questions to ensure they know or understand the material, and exercising hands-on work and examples to ensure the student can apply what they have learned. I love the written word and reaching people, so I ultimately chose to major in journalism. My love for teaching and instructing students led me to pursue my minor in education. In the past three years, I've tutored undergraduates in writing (grammar, composition, etc), graduate students (editing theses), pr

I enjoy mentoring and tutoring students one on one. I am considered by those who know me to be a patient person with the skills needed to explain sometimes confusing subject material in an understandable and interesting way. I enjoy the biology field for its broadness and openness. It is a field with a lot of potential for finding something you love and I take great pride in opening students eyes through teaching and learning. I have received both Bachelors of Science and Masters of Science degrees from UWF. I have worked in a microbiology and molecular biology research lab since 2004, first as an undergraduate student and now as a research associate. I have mentored approximately 10 students that have worked in our lab and frequently find myself assisting them with their schoolwork outside of work. I have had extensive coursework in biology and have understand the practical application

I enjoy teaching and working with people of all ages. I don't have a particular style of teaching, because I belive each person is a whole new word with differents needs. I like first to get to know them and become their friend to gain trust, in order to stablish a good teacher-student relation. As a legal imigrant, I was driven to help other people like me to become fluent in english. While I wa in this path, I discover that teaching fulfills my life. I have earned a Master degree in physical therapy, which makes me very sensity and understandful, towards people that have any kind of difficulties and disadvantage.

I enjoy hands on teaching and using props to educate. In my experiences, I have found that children respond well to curiosity and accomplish greater skills and abilities by demonstrations with hands on teaching.

I earned a BS degree with UF,as well as, an AA from Pensacola State College in Science. After college, I persued a career with the FDEP where I trained and taught volunteers from ages 9 through 18.
