Marine Biology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tavernier, FL

I graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Marine Science. While at Coastal I co-founded a Shark Research Club and performed population studies on sharks in Winyah Bay, SC. After graduation I worked at a Shark Research facility in South Bimini, Bahamas, where I worked hands on with Doctorate students on various projects. I am currently a Science Instructor at The Newfound Harbor Marine Institute in Big Pine Key, Florida.

My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For instance if I found that a student learns better visually then I would attempt to use visual cues and examples in lesson plans to make the material as easy to understand as possible. I also believe in keeping a very loose and pleasant atmosphere, and making sure that everyone feels comfortable and safe, which I believe also assists in the learning process. My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up t

I feel that the most important step to being an effective teacher is to make the material relevant. If the student does not see a relevant reason to learn the material, the learning curve will be much steeper. Then, I work hard to be sure the student understands my commitment to partner with him/her in the learning process, and that process is a two-way street. And, once I've determined the method of learning that works best for a student, I design the material to accommodate that method. Once these goals are met, success is assured. My experiences as the oldest of seven children instilled in me the desire to educate others, so I obtained my BS degree in Biology and Secondary Education. I taught 7th and 8th grade sciences for five years before staying home to be a full time mother and substitute teaching on the high school level for 3 more years. I operated a small daycare during m

I am a firm believer that every student given an opportunity has the ability to learn. They also must be given an opportunity to learn in the style in which they learn the best, be it visual, auditory or hands-on. I believe and practice a constructivist model of learning. I see multicultural education as a way of reaching all students so that they have an equal opportunity to learn. Students in the future must be prepared for a world job market and tutoring can provide these children with a great opportunity to enhance their skills. I have a BA degree from the University of Central Florida in Education and a current Florida Teaching Certificate. I have taught high school for 18 years before relocating. At that time I worked in the informal education field as an afterschool program teacher and manager of a educational programming business, educational director at a Museum and Nature Cente

After earning a BA in Biology and Political Science I spent several years researching. I have been teaching biology at the high school level for the past 18 years and truly enjoy it. I am working on a master's degree in Early Childhood and Special Education at the University of Miami and curently I am teaching anatomy & physiology at a senior high school. In the last five years I have tutored many college level students in biology. I am an experienced teacher that knows that all children have a different learning style. I am very patient, understanding, and motivated. I aim to provide your child with the best education possible in order to reach their full potential. I am a firm believer that children learn "by doing", hence I am a hands-on teacher that teaches children to think analytically and apply the concepts learned. I believe I make a positive difference in the lives of my student
