I will give your child my best effort

My primary aim in tutoring students is to assess exactly where they are academically, including reading level and math skills. Then I teach to their exact level. I help them to set up realistic goals and strive to meet those goals. Encouraging students and helping them to see their progress is a big part of their feeling satisfied that their efforts are showing dividends. I have worked with both the extremely bright, gifted students as well as those with learning disabilities so I understand the importance of proper pacing and the use of various modalities for successfully tutoring each individual.
I have always endeavored to excel academically and so sought after and received a top-level education at Duke University. Having a love of language and having a desire to be able to teach at all levels, I obtained an MA in English from the UNC-G. I have had 43 years of teaching and tutor ... read more

In the classroom my teaching is as interactive and engaging as my skills and students allow. One-on-one teaching is very Socratic. I guide and coach the student to learn for themselves by understanding their most effective learning styles, their strengths and weaknesses, their motivations and frustrations. I believe in building confidence through success and positive reinforcement. I believe in striving for understanding over rote memorization and will challenge students to apply what they learn through probing and thought-provoking questions and challenging ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, and as such I am certified to teach all sciences and math at all grade levels in the State of Florida. My specialties in math are Algebra and Trigonmetry; my specialty in science is Physics. I was a substitute teacher from 4/08 through 5/09 in the Indian River School District. I tutored part time at various levels for the last two years. My other areas of knowledge include History, Geography and English, especially in the use of proper grammer.
I believe that all subjects, especially math and the sciences are based on a core of basic fundamentals. I believe that until the fundamentals are understood that it is not possible to advance to the higher aspects of any subject. I enjoy teaching very much and believe that I have much to give back to young students. I am convinced that a good education is vital to becoming a constructi ... read more

I love to interact with somebody who is curious and interested in the subject, no matter what the subject. In mathematics, I believe in a very thorough and conceptual understanding of the subject, which enhances one's ability to use the knowledge in real-world settings, not just memorization of formulae and equations. Understanding, rather than memorization, is also crucial for the student who will continue to learn more advanced subjects in mathematics.
At my undergraduate program, my professor for a course in Symbolic Logic asked to refer students in the class to me, if they had questions about the material. After the class had finished, the professor hired me through the university's Philosophy Department as a tutor for the same class. After graduation, I acted as a private tutor in my spare time. At Columbia University I was a Teaching Assistant for three college courses, ... read more

Since my days as a graduate student, I love to learn, as both student and teacher. As teacher, I've taught Humanities at the Junior College level, teaching Fine Arts, Music, English literature and Philosophy. I've taught students to make connections, relationships, between what they see and hear. Sight and Sound, then, allow them to develop their thinking in ways that isolated thought or thought patterns preclude. I've learned the Humanities are wonderful resources for thinking, as they for developing 'intuitive imagination.' In addition to classroom teaching, I've tutored students in their homes, in environments that support love and freedom, using Calvert's Home School Program. I've developed tutorial pilot programs for the US Army, developing recruits mastery of High School Math and English skills. I love writing, research.
I encourage students to relate amon ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am young and energetic with the ability to engage students. I have been told on numerous occasions that I make previously difficult subjects accessible to those that thought that it was not "their thing". I believe that all students have their own method of learning, and their success is dependent on how well an educator can adapt to their style. I am very flexible and innovative in creating lesson plans. I am patient, friendly, enthusiastic, and have an overwhelming love of teaching.
Having earned a B.S. in Physics/Astrophysics and as an upcoming graduate from the Florida Institute of Technology Master's program in Space Sciences, I have an outstanding background in physics, mathematics, and other physical sciences. I also have a wide range of teaching experience, including high school Earth Science, middle school biology, and undergraduate physics laboratories. Within the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love seeing students discover that they have learned something new. I believe all children can learn and my responsibility as a teacher is to help each one find his or her unique way of learning. I will set high standards for your child's learning outcomes but my expectations will be matched by my patience and willingness to work on his or her special needs. I am a firm believer in discovery and experiential learning to cement concepts that have to be understood. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate tools and learning experiences. I strive to work with the significant persons in a child's environment to develop the most effective ways of ensuring results.
I have a distinguished record as an educator and recently completed a stint teaching Language Arts at a high school in Port St. Lucie. I have been successful as a high school teacher ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In relation to the tutoring position, I have a year of experience in tutoring grammar school students in math and reading. As a graduate student at Mississppi State University, I was a teacher assistant for 2 years in Introduction to World Geography. These are the only two jobs I have had that are related to job that I am applying for.
Personally, I enjoy everything about education. I believe that if you can educate a person, then doors are opened for them. I am the type of tutor that gives basic instructions, then I allow the student to try a few things on their own. If they struggle, then I will step in and help them. I prefer to go over the same material as much as needed until the student is comfortable with the subject matter. Then, I like to move on to a new subject.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a graduate student at the Florida Institute of Technology, majoring in Marine Biology. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, with a major in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, and a minor in Fisheries and Aquatic sciences. I have taught ecology and biology students the last two years in college and high school. I have also tutored students in biology, ecology, marine biology, and in study techniques at the college level.
I feel students learn best when they are engaged and interested in the topic. I think relating a topic in a practical and applied approach helps many students retain and apply the information they have learned. Some students work best with "Hands-on" activities (especially for kinesthetic learners), and some students are visual or auditory learners. It's important for me to provide a healthy mixture of these learning styl ... read more

Teaching is my passion. I love working with children, and during the past ten years, I can't imagine having worked in any other field.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for education, whether it is teaching youth or adults. I have gained about 3 additional years of teaching and now am working in a higher education setting. I hold a degree in special education which focused on the needs of learning disabled students, though required I still maintain the same knowledge of a licensed educator. Along with a degree in special education I own a degree in psychology. Cumulatively, this allows me to grasp a sense of the student’s feelings, emotions and expressions while learning, which in turn makes the session a lot more conducive. I feel I am able to connect with students through their strengths and weaknesses and use that to find the best strategy to ensure excellent learning.
I like to encourage and support my students. Many students don’t want to learn or do not feel they can succeed. When a student is positive and feels t ... read more
