Give the brain what it wants!

From age seven, I have had a passion for teaching and public speaking. I am involved with a continuing education program that hones speaking and teaching ability. In high school, I helped to pilot and served as captain of the Speech and Debate team (National Forensics League). I also worked as a Teacher Cadet. I took four years to volunteer at an educational center after high school where I completed an advanced course in public speaking. I was a full-time volunteer minister for 15 years total, and I dedicated much time to working with troubled and at-risk youths. For a year, I volunteered with Lapsits for Literacy. I have experience teaching in English and Spanish, and I have certificates to teach English and Spanish to speakers of other languages from the highly regarded Canadian Institute of English.
ACTIVE!!! The focus is on FUN and changing gears. The brain wants activity. ... read more

I have graduated from two technical courses in the air force and was a distinguished graduate from both. I graduated with honors from the Air Traffic Control Operators Course in 1983 with a 97% average. I was selected for instructor duty in 1986 and received extensive training on various instructing and teaching modalities along with counseling techniques. I enjoyed teaching so much that I went back to that profession, once again teaching for the air force from 2001-2003. I left that job to serve in Afghanistan as a civilian contractor as an air traffic controller and Chief Air Traffic Control Training. I decided to continue my education and am three months away from receiving my degree in Computer Electronics Engineering and presently hold a 3.98 GPA.
My experience in the air force has served me well. My style of teaching is to learn a little background including areas of interest ... read more

More than my love for teaching, I love imparting the knowledge that I have acquired over the years to students in simple palpable way. I believe I have the ability to break up complicated problems or concepts into smaller parts and explain them building up to help the student to have a complete overview. My teaching skill involves explaining every single step of the subject, as I feel there should be no room to assume that the student already knows it. I start from step 1. No subject is hard, a good insight with good guidance with creative teaching can always make learning a fun and fruitful experience.
The only tutoring I have done in USA is helping my wife with her Undergraduate Math courses such as Statistics, Calculus, Geometry and other related courses. However, I have experience teaching in my home country for over a year as an Associate Professor in Engineering College teac ... read more

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 suc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I challenge students to overcome their difficulties and do not allow them to persist repeatedly in ignorance and misunderstanding. Rather, I require my students to learn and extensively practice even the most basic concepts until they are no longer problems, and this allows the students to move on to more complicated concepts, but, as needed, I patiently explain any concepts that are unclear. I remedy errors in morphology by requiring repetition of the correct forms, and by requiring the students to convert certain words into their other forms, reinforcing the various attributes of each form. I also make sure each sentence is read and understood in the order in which the sentence is written so that it can be understood as it is written.
I have studied Latin for 7 years, and have earned 27 credit hours at the collegiate level in the field with a 4.0 average in those courses in La ... read more

After finishing my PhD I went to work for Monsanto as an organic analytical chemist. My speciality was the use of mass spectrometry to understand organic chemical reactions and the products and impurities that were formed. While working for Monsanto I also taught College chemistry classes (Organic I and II and the labs). I have over forty publications and forty presentations. I am the author of two books on Organic Analytical Chemistry. I was also honored by being appointed a Science Fellow in Monsanto. I am currently scheduled to teach Organic Chemistry I this summer at the University of West Florida.
I have always wanted to teach but enjoyed the research that was available working for a large chemical company. I had the opportunity to teach Organic while I was working and enjoyed it but the time constraints were tough. I am now retired from industry and will be teaching in the Ch ... read more

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 believe that any subject can be taught and understood in taught in a fashion best understood my the student.
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.

More About This Tutor...

As a young man raised in a military life style, I have always been extremely motivated and possitive in striving for excellence. I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelors of Science in Finance Degree where I received specific knowledge, skills and abilities. After college I was able to put my wife through pharmacy school while working with a private investment firm as the Senior Portfolio Analyst. I have also held positions that required diversified skills to deal with customer service, analysis, mentoring, managing and leading a team of piers.
My teaching style is standard in the extent that I believe everyone can learn specific material, they just have to figure out a way to relate to the material. Growing up I was tutored by my parents with the style of trial and error. I believe this works only with certain individuals, while others may require a step by s ... read more

I enjoy a Socratic method of questions to teach. Each student has her/his own style of learning and the Socratic allows me to home in on that style and give the student ownership of the larned material. I have ben told I have the parience of job and a "down-to-earth" way of explaination.
After graduating with a dual degree, I taught in Texas for 27 years in the fields of English, Geography, Health/PE, History, and Math. I have presented multiple times on the state level in math. After moving to Pensacola, I have tauht two years in the Florida K-12 sytem, presenting in Tallahassee in an area social studies conference, and three years in the community and junior college system. Recent tutoring includes math up to college Algebra, some physics and chemistry.

More About This Tutor...

My intention and goal in tutoring: For students to experience the thrill of understanding a facet of the world, self improvement, marketable job skills, and the sweetness of sincere achievement. I will make it a priority to invest time and energy into helping anyone who needs assistance. Having said that, I will not bribe students with undue flattery, irrational ego boosts, alleging that "everyone's a winner just for trying", and so on. Such so-called rewards bear little semblance to the reality that students will inevitably face.
I can claim over four years of tutoring, article writing, and editing experience. You will gain someone with passion and flexibility. I have received consistently positive feedback from copy editors, students, and supervisors. I've earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Minor in Materials Science and Engineering. On top of those ... read more
