Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Walton Beach, FL

My teaching style is really one of encouragement, love, belief, knowledge, honesty and respect. I believe that children need to know that you are truely concerned for them before they really want to know how much knowledge you can dispense to them. As an elementary student in the 4th grade I had a reading deficiency and was reading on a 1st grade level. It my parents and tutors that gave the encouragement to continue trying and the self-esteem to know that I could do it. They all believed in me and it was through their belief that I began to believe in myself. This lesson has stuck with me throughout all of my education. Additionally, I have always struggled with ADD. My parents chose to try and redirect my energies and teach me ways to do the same. All of these struggles in life allows me to gravitate to the student who is in need because I know that I can be an example of someo

I began tutoring high school and college students in 1986. I have 6 children of my own who I have raised and taught science and mathematics. I worked 2 years as an adjunct professor at the University of Florida and was a volunteer instructor at Brigham Young University. I speak Japanese fluently and am semi fluent in German. My style of teaching mathematics, science and Japanese is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. It is only through solving problems (for mathematics and science) and practice (for Japanese) that this knowledge becomes ingrained in a student so that they are confident to move forward.

As a graduate of the University of Miami and former US Air Force officer, I am very excited to help students learn and excel in the math and science courses. I earned a Physics degree while completing the pre-medical requirements. I also have minor degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Business. I hope to be of service to your family. I will systematically build upon lessons and attempt to help the student learn the fundamentals of the subject. Without the basics understood thoroughly, it would be impossible to move to the next building block in mastering a subject. I strive to get the student to be able to teach material back to me to show expertise so that we can move to the next level.

I have over 3 years experience in tutoring people in all math levels from basic math to calculus. I also have 10 years of experience in computer programming and 3 years in web design. One of my motivations is to make math, science, and computers applicable to what the student will experience in today's society. It is truly a passion of mine to communicate the need for math and science along with the concepts needed to succeed in school due to the experiences I have had in my 10 year engineering career. My degrees are BS in Electrical Engineering and Master's in Information Systems. I believe that all children have the ability to learn. It is simply a matter of communicating the right information to thr right field. I understand that different children and adults learn if different ways. I am patient and considerate, but will push gently when needed.

I acheived a B. S. in Education in 1975. My major was Spanish with a minor in French. My personal goals as an undergraduate was to obtain an education that would allow me to work in education and business as an educated professional. I continued my education with post graduate studies in business and healthcare science. I worked toward adding science to my teaching certificate in the 1980s. I have worked with children of all ages both at home and in schools as well as adults. I prefer to teach in a classroom environment with a structure and learning standards. I can also teach in a one on one tutoring session. It is helpful to have good teaching materials and resources available. I like to have the opportunity to prepare lessons and have the ability to write lesson plans and prepare lessons. I have a proven ability to follow through with those lesson plans. I prefer to

I know how and I love working with children. So far they all reciprocate positively. I believe I should use my education and experience along with my desire to transfer my knowledge to children who want and need to develop a solid, stable background in basic math, statistics and engineering. While putting my now seventh grader son through school, I have learned I have natural ability, desire and passion to teach, especially math, logic, statistics. I easily apply cases to the real world cases for easier understanding. I also discovered I have a simple driven mind for logic. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science/Computer Information Systems and should graduate from University of Illinois Chicago with my Masters of Engineering Degree at the end of 2010.

During and after completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I spent eight years as a volunteer tutor and three years as a paid tutor. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Melbourne, Florida and, most recently, as an AVID tutor for a school district in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have worked with students in grades K-10 in all subject areas. I earned my BS in Elementary Education from Eastern Michigan University and my MA in Curriculum and Instruction from The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Both, along with my hands-on experience, have equipped me to be a competent and attentive tutor. I have always loved working with children, in any capacity. Tutoring has not only combined my skills as a teacher but allowed me to work one on one with students in a way that is not possible in a classroom setting. I have had great success tutoring students of all backgrounds and ac

Having moved between English, History, and Anthropology during my undergraduate years, I've surveyed quite an extensive portion of the social sciences. I have earned a major in Anthropology and a minor in History. The workloads for these courses included several 50+ page ethnographic reports in addition to the basic course curriculum. I've previously worked with children at the Kids on Campus program at OWC, teaching Songham Taekwando. Both my parents are educators and have instilled in me the fundamental importance of education. I enjoy working with children and seeing them succeed on their own terms. I am willing to work diligently to see a child meet his or her educational goals. I believe that a comfortable learning environment makes learning fun for a child and also makes material retention longterm. I also encourage critical thinking and personal relationships to the mat

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I am driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor's degree, a BA in Psychology with over thirty credits in science, which has allowed me to gain an understanding of math and science.

As a graduate student in Sociology at Wichita State University, I was able to explore my passion for human behavior with great detail and rigor. During this time, I was able to use SPSS extensively for statistics and data analysis for Crosstabs, Frequencies, T-tests, ANOVA, Correlations, Descriptives, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, OLS Regression, and Weights. I also served as a graduate teaching and research assistant, which allowed me to tutor students on how to use SPSS while also applying SPSS for research projects and program evaluation. I believe the fundamental goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in many different circumstances and contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively mastering new concepts and skills. People have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lectu

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

I am a firm believer that anyone can do anything with the right positive guidance. When I am teaching, my goal is to ensure student learning but also to make it fun and a memorable experience for the students. I have gone above and beyond to make sure my students are getting the best education that they deserve. I am a calm and nurturing teacher. I make it a relaxing, stress free atmosphere because I don't feel there is any need to make learning stressful and unenjoyable. My goal is to make the students feel comfortable and respect them so they can respect me. I recently graduated from Lewis University with an Elementary Education major and endorsements in language arts, math, and social studies. All four years of college, I was on the Deans list. I realy understand both my general education courses along with my teaching methods courses. I have had numerous teaching experiences in the c
