I have worked both as a substitute teacher and as a certified teacher for around 15 years. I have taught a variety of different courses. I was certified to teach all sciences grades 7-12. However my certification has expired. I have taught both in the private and public sectors of education. I graduated a member of Kappa Delta Pi, as an international honor society. I graduated with a 3.9 G.P.A. I have also worked as a tutor many times within my career. I also worked with troubled teens as a therapeutic foster parent. I have taught all sciences, math, English, literature, reading, history, geography, geology, and religion. I believe that a teacher should be willing to do whatever is necessary for the student to understand the concept(s) being discussed. Students all learn different things in different ways. I have taught a wide range of students both in ages and in ethic backgrounds. I

I come into contact with a variety of different students with different areas of interest as a public speaking teacher. My teaching philosophy is to recognize that every student needs, wants, and gets something different from their studies, and it is my job to help them do just that. Rather than conduct a “one size fits all” class, I work with my students individually to guide them in their research and help them get the most out of their speeches. I believe it is important for them to choose topics that interest them as a way to learn about an area they already like and become excited about delivering speeches, something that most students fear. I have always valued the importance of a quality education and have encouraged friends with no college ambition to start working on their degrees. I am not, however, an elitist. I think every endeavor is a learning experience, but there are basi

I have been teaching freshman composition at the university level for the past 12 years. I have taught all forms of written communication, such as classical argumentation, proposals, creative writing, essays, business writing, rhetoric, responding to emails, memos, etc. Written prose has the power to change lives and learning to write well can mean the difference between mediocrity and excellence. It is also an essential form of communication that is vital to success in today's society. Writing is a skill that is learned; everyone can learn to write well and I can teach you this skill. I look forward to meeting and working with you. I have always enjoyed working with students one-on-one. To teach effectively one must understand what motivates the individual, and the only way to do that is to spend time with that person. If a student is a visual learner, I will use visual aids to illust

I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Biomedical Sciences, with honors, and am currently working toward the completion of a Ph.D. in Basic Medical Sciences. My scientific training supports a proficiency in technical and mathematical concepts. I am also an accomplished and published writer; accordingly, my written composition skills are well-developed. Over the past seven years, I have tutored students in English, written composition, mathematics, and the sciences. I have also successfully guided many high school students through the oftentimes intimidating process of ACT and/or SAT preparation. My instruction has been extraordinarily effective in helping students boost their academic performance, including their test scores. I am young, enthusiastic, understanding, and patient. I am passionate about teaching, and it is my foremost goal to direct students toward academic success.

The key to good teaching is adaptability. First and foremost I believe that every individual can learn but we all have different learning styles. Some individuals may learn better using visual learning, others process information better from aural input. I believe in both problem-based learning using hands-on application but also realize that skills such as reading and literacy require some more traditional methods such as phonics approaches to reading. I always start tutoring a student by carrying out a diagnostic approach, that is, finding out their strengths, interests, and learning style. I love teaching and bringing out the best in my students, education is the key to their future. I attended Cardiff University where I majored in English studies and Linguistics and have been teaching courses in linguistics, language development and grammar at the college level for 15 years.

I have been a substitute teacher for the last 25 years in different areas of the country where I have moved. I home-schooled my 2 children for 12 years mostly when I lived in Alaska.

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 well as in math and science.

I have also spent time as a volunteer tutor for homeschooling students. 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.

I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My classes have ranged from large groups of 30 or more, to private one-on-one sessions with individual students. I have also written for many newspapers and magazines, both domestic and foreign, so I know how to communicate in the most effective and concise way possible. In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both ent

At UM, I received a scholarship in which I tutored the students, helping with thesises, short papers, as well as summaries. I worked at the University's writing lab, and found it very inspirational as well as beneficially rewarding. At USA, I had a similar scholarship. I tutored students from overseas, checking their grammar, style of writing, punctuation, ect. Patience is second nature to me now, accepting that all students differently. I found it inspiring to teach those that were not native speakers of our country, learning how to communicate with them, and "find the idea behind the idea," the abstract meaning behind what they were trying to communicate on paper - their perspective; also challenging and rewarding. My style of teaching varies. On the most important note, I find environment important for focus. In addition, I find that the student-teacher relationship must be on
