Stephanie

Certified Tutor

Originally from Tampa and currently residing in North Carolina ,I received a B.S. in Environmental Studies/Biology from Southern Oregon University. After that I moved back to Tampa where I received a Master's in Elementary Education. I have taught 5th grade math and science for three years. I also have a graduate certificate in Global Sustainability concentrating in Water Resource Management, from the University of South Florida.
I am a Florida Certified teacher and have applied for a license in North Carolina. I have taught intermediate elementary students, with particular emphasis on math and science. I have tutored privately for over five years. I also tutored high school sciences during my undergraduate degree. I currently hold an internship teaching environmental stewardship and marine ecology to K-12 students in Tampa Bay.
Math and Science are my true passions. I enjoy teaching intermediate elementary math, as well as some middle grades math. I am also certified in middle grades science and biology. I have a strong background in environmental studies and love teaching students about our natural world.
I believe that students possess a natural curiosity for learning and that it is my job as a teacher to nurture this curiosity. Rather than telling students the correct answer, I strive to draw it out of them by accessing knowledge that they already have and trying to relate that to the topic they may be struggling with. I like to relate subjects to student's own interests thereby increasing their motivation in their school experience.
I love to read and write. I love to travel and take pictures of our natural world. I really enjoy cooking and trying different ethnic cuisines. I love being able to combine education and science in authentic ways.
