A Little Bit About Me...

I attempt to not only show students when a mistake has been made but teach them how to better avoid those mistakes in the future, as well as teaching them to better catch their own mistakes.
I have aided many of my friends throughout high school and college with writing, editing and general English knowledge. In addition to helping many of my friends and classmates I also edited countless pages of my own work in a great variety of subjects. I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in English after taking courses in various fields on the subject. I received high marks in class ranging from general rhetoric to creative writing, as well analytical literature courses.

More About This Tutor...

I believe in interactive teaching, where the student is as involved as the teacher. My satisfaction comes from watching students discover knowledge that they had previously thought unavailable. Every student can learn, and my purpose and goal is to help each student stretch as far as he or she is willing to go.
I have completed all requirements for a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught mathematics, computer applications, life skills, and other subjects at high school and community college levels in Colorado. I have tutored and homeschooled statistics, college algebra, trigonometry, and other mathematics topics, and homeschooled a complete spectrum of high school level topics.

More About This Tutor...

I teach at the intersection of affirmation and discipline: I believe in celebrating student learning and creativity, while also taking knowledge—and students—seriously. My experience in a summer camp setting has taught me to meet each student where they are and co-create unique strategies for success. I believe in teaching the value of dialogue and cross-disciplinary thinking, in addition to helping students learn academic material and skills.
As a student at Rollins College, I had the opportunity to serve as a peer mentor to a group of first-year students. I also worked in the writing center and as an editor for a literary journal. My studies in anthropology and experience writing an honors thesis on homelessness taught me to think critically and holistically. I have worked as a summer camp counselor for teenagers (June- August 2008 and 2009) and then as co-director of the camp (2 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I first began my love of teaching and tutoring children when I was a senior in high school. As the president of my school's National Honor Society, I began a tutoring program that enabled elementary and middle school students to be tutored by high school students. I continued to volunteer and tutor students while I earned my BS in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University. I am furthering my interest in education and working with children by pursuing my PhD in School Psychology at the University of Florida. I recently tutored a student in reading and writing for almost 1 year. I have always enjoyed math and science, so I would be happy to tutor a student in those areas in addition to reading and writing.
In my doctoral program, I am specializing in working with students with special needs and disabilities. Therefore, I strongly believe that every child can le ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient, dedicated, and energetic person. I like to incorporate riddles, rhymes, and games into my tutoring sessions to aid kids in learning. It is my belief that all kids can learn. As a child I was told I would never surpass an elementary school because I was failing to thrive. There were so many people who believed in me and as a result I incorporate the same mindset they had with me to contribute to the successes of children who are much like I was.
I worked at the Boys and Girls Club of Alachua County for 8 years where I was responsible for tutoring, mentoring, and facilitating a gang prevention class. After, I was employed at Boys Hope Girls Hope, a residential scholarship program for academically capable students. I did this position for approximately 2 years before entering into grad school this past May. With this position I was a live-in counselor responsible ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My idea of a perfect classroom is one in which all students are actively involved. I believe in encouraging students to work together to create their own understandings of the subject matter and how it relates to their lives. It is important that students are able to apply school studies to the real world outside of the classroom.
I have taught Language Arts and Reading for 15 years at the middle school level. My Florida certification includes Middle School and ESOL endorsements. For the last six months, I have been employed as a tutor in the athletic program at the University of Florida. I am also pursuing a Master's Degree in English Education at this institution.

I'm a chemical engineer and tutor with a strong interest in education. My background includes extensive tutoring and mentoring experience over the last 8 years. I am motivated and patient with students who have trouble grasping mathematical concepts. I have worked with diverse groups of students ranging from third grade to high school and college students. My engineering experience gives me a wealth of applications from which to draw examples and explain how equations work.
My approach encourages lots of practice and uses analogies and examples as frequently as necessary to get a particular point across. I am focused on making the subject matter both comprehensible and routine, with particular emphasis on checking answers and estimation. I will also make the most of technology to aid student understanding and encourage student interaction.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that good teaching, like quality learning, comes with hard work. Having had the chance to see students grow with time, I have learned that patience, respect, and having fun are the best ingredients for a productive and positive learning experience. Often times, having a positive mentor can be that major difference in a student's life, and to that end I believe that tutoring is about more than just academic learning, but also about building relationships and learning essential life skills.
Although my chosen field of study is history, my passion is for education and learning. While earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have acquired an essential skill set for working in the academic world, which includes excellent writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills, in addition to a proficiency in Spanish acquired through years of classroom study and travel in L ... read more

More About This Tutor...

All students can gain great benefits from participating in rigorous coursework and being encouraged to think critically. I am a firm believer in using differentiation techniques to allow students, regardless of level, to access and engage with the subject matter in a meaningful way. Students I work with are provided with a variety of tools and techniques to use as they create meaning, and fit that new learning into their own schema. I am patient and kind with students I teach, without sacrificing high expectations to do so. I strive to create an environment where learning is valued, students are respected, and the joys of learning are discovered.
Reading, writing, and speaking are essential skills that students of all levels would be well advised to hone and perfect. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have striven to assist both teachers and students to use words thoughtful ... read more

After earning a Bachelor’s degree in a Social Science from the University of Florida, I feel that I have gained a well rounded education in all areas including English, mathematics, biology and natural sciences.I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Public Health because I love to learn. I have been working with children ages 3-14 since I was 15 years old. I spent my summers working as a summer camp counselor. In college I worked for an organization called America Reads and tutored approximately 10 elementary students in reading. Together we read books at their specific reading levels and played games to that allowed them to build better reading and writing skills.
After working with children for several years, I believe that every child can learn and do great as long as they are shown patience, compassion, and are rewarded for their good work and improvement. I think th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is important to every individual no matter what age. The learning experience is never-ending. Children are very important to me as they are the future. Also if it weren't for my wonderful teachers I would have hated the academic process. It is important to note that no matter how far a student is behind nor how hard it is to recognize concepts I am beyond patient when explaining ideas and concepts. The personal approach is the most formative for an individual. When teaching elementary students it is important to in a stress free quiet environment where a student can be open to asking questions. I would identify specific students needs and formulate a stimulating and constructive approach to ensure their capabilities as students.
Although my undergrad degree is not the most prevailing, I have strong abilities in math. I have tutored many individuals throughout my life. My e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of civil engineering.
I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead i ... read more

I have taught writing at the college level for more than eight years. I have taught at two state universities, one of the top ten community colleges in the US, and a private technical college. I have taught both remedial and pre-college English, English 101, English 102, American Literature, Creative Writing, Technical Communication, and Writing for Management. I can help with study skills, with master plans, and with reading comprehension and interpretation. In writing, I can help students with drafting, revision, style, and of course, grammar, syntax, and mechanics. I am also quite familiar in working with students who speak another language at home.
I seek to help all students gain confidence in their writing and reading abilities. I have helped students in honing these skills in order to use writing for discovery, for organization, planning, and forethought, and for cr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to learn where the student is (not the age/grade, etc) and build from there. Success for the student is very important because without confidence, we are all lost. I like to be organized with certain levels to be attained. Achieving those levels and goals sometimes calls for creativity and diversity. I like to think of myself as creative and adaptable. I have many materials which have proven to be very successful for building confidence and ability while filling in the missing gaps for the student. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.
I tutored children from the neighborhood so often, I decided to get paid for it. I received my Bachelor degree in Anthropology and my "lifetime" teaching credential (any self contained) from California. When I retired, I discovered I still wanted to teach. I was in S ... read more
