My comments on tutoring ACT : I would like to post the disclaimer that I have not taken the ACT myself - I'm an SAT child! However, in high school I did study extensively for both exams, and retain much of my knowledge about how this exam works. In tutoring for the ACT, I offer strategies for optimizing time management on the exam, and getting the most out of the questions posed. One need not be a certified genius in order to pass this section, and I will show you how to do it!

Greetings one and all! My name is Tristan, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida's College of Engineering as of August 2012. I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Nuclear Engineering and a cumulative GPA of 3.25 (and I will tell you that I earned every point of it). I am looking forward to using my knowledge and proficiency in various fields of math and science to make your four year slog through the rigors of academia as palpable as possible. I offer flexible hours, friendly demeanor, and a patient approach to tutoring that caters to your individual skill set. All of this comes at a reasonable price, which can of course be negotiated to suit your budget (remember, I was once a broke college student too). In short: I work with you, for you, and on your terms! I offer tutelage in many technical disciplines: Math, Science, and Engineering are my b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching art to all age levels. I really enjoy it when I show someone an art technique, they learn it, and make it their own. When teaching art, I feel it very important to demonstrate a technique, discuss how the technique has been used in different cultures, and then for the student to mimic my actions. Once the technique has been mastered, the student can take the technique and use it in their own way. As a math tutor, I work closely to find a method that clicks for the student. I am very patient, and I use various ways of solving a problem to find the one that the student can most understand.
As an art teacher of over 15 years, I have taught painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic arts, art history, and darkroom photography. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts at Christopher Newport University and my Master of Arts degree in Teaching an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After working as an environmental engineer for a couple of years, I realized that I wanted to join the teaching force. I was the rookie teacher of year for my school and then two years later, received the teacher of year nomination. During the past 5 years, I have taught chemistry, physics, and math for college readiness in which I had a 90% pass rate for the common end of course exams.
I truly enjoy teaching and encouraging students to achieve their maximum potential. I am an energetic teacher and strive to find a way to make learning fun. As a teacher of science and math, I feel it is very important for students to truly understand the world around them and why or how it works.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching styles is one of me being the facilator and the student being the participant. Therefore their success is a team effort. I have come to see that this approach has helped students I have worked with get the most out of their education. It has to be all about the student being the best they can be academically. If they become a full participant in the learning process they will be more willing to learn more. This is the motivation for me to continue to be an educator.
I process degrees in school guidance counseling and human services. My work experience include teaching at the college level, a former school administrator and teacher. These positions have equipped me to tutor children at their current academic level. When taking the approach of partnering with students in their academic journey, it is recipe for success. This method of instruction encourages the stud ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Over the last year, I learned a Chinese saying that describes my attitude toward teaching: "Interest is the best teacher." I believe that the key to helping students learn is capturing their interest and helping them develop skills to learn for themselves. While many English and writing tutors simply edit papers for students, I emphasize other concerns such as writing good thesis statements, keeping clear focus, and writing good paragraphs and transitions. I also teach in an interactive way and enjoy getting to know a student so that I can adapt my teaching to his or her interests and needs. Far more important to me than helping students earn an “A” on assignments is helping them build skills and interest that will ensure future academic success.
As an undergraduate, I earned a BA in English and a second BA in Writing, allowing me to hone my writing, discussion, reading, and an ... read more

I would like to pass on my dedication to learning and the understanding of cultural patterns to students and following them from their first encounters with social and cultural trends through the essays they ultimately produce as they learn how to think critically about these trends. I would bring to this work both preparation and experience, not only in my own skills as a writer and researcher but also in the teaching of subjects concerning social culture. Having begun my teaching career in the University of Colorado at Boulder, I am interested in continuing my work in the educational world, as I enjoy working with and teaching students because of the rewards I’ve found there.
I am interested in pursuing an academic career as a teacher and am eager to continue this path. I am able to teach many levels and pride myself on encouraging students to open up their own critical think ... read more

As a microbiology student, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry let me to take a position at the University of Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor but then I was moved to a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in an introductory chemistry class. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my tutoring skills.
My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide the student to get the correct answer and not ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked as a substitute teacher in a wide variety of subject areas, and have volunteered as a tutor for some time. However, since beginning a PhD program at UF I have done neither. Though most substitutes are not much more than babysitters, I attempted to teach whatever subject matter was before the students. I regularly heard from students that they understood my way of explaining something better than they understood their regular teacher (though this by no means happened in every class). This happened most often in math and history courses. In my work as a lawyer (I was an assistant district attorney between law school and the PhD program) I honed my conciseness skills. I have prepared more academic papers than I care to recall during my eleven years (and counting) of higher education. My particular field of political science requires proficiency with higher math and statistic ... read more

I have gained tutoring experience as a volunteer tutor at Bartow High School, treating Spanish, math, and the sciences. Additionally, while serving as a Troop Guide for Troop 500 of the Boy Scouts of America, I had the opportunity to teach younger peers an assortment of survival skills. I am currently a freshman engineering student at the University of Florida pursuing a BS in Chemical Engineering, and I am a graduate of Polk State College, having earned an AA with honors in History.
I believe that the key to academic success lies in developing a personal passion for any given subject area; I live to share my passion for knowledge with others. I am authentic, intuitive, and calm. I feel that all persons can learn any subject provided sufficient internal motivation. As much as possible, knowledge should be discovered in a relevant manner so as to ensure a continued interest.

When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching methods. Primarily, I like to understand the learning styles of my student so I know what will best work for them. I will do whatever it takes to make sure the student understands the concept and succeeds. I also like to encourage students by implementing different incentive programs; this will motivate them to continue working hard. I am extremely confident that I will be able to teach my students successfully in a fun and engaging manner.
Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from the University of Florida in May 2007. While I was earning my Bachelors’ degree I was a tutor for Upward Bound.
