...and exceptional student education teacher, behavior therapist, administrative dean, and assistant principal. I find that my mission as a teacher is threefold: 1) to promote positive learning; 2) to spark learner enthusiasm for learning; and 3) to provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning. To accomplish this, I enjoy applying a wide variety of strategies based on essential educational principles encompassing cognitive functioning, learning theory, diversity issues, instructional planning, and assessment. The implementation of these...

...towards helping students achieve academic success. Tutoring to me means helping students acquire the skills needed to successfully and consistently pass exams. There is an important difference between reading subject material (which can often be boring), and studying subject content (which is much more likely to be dynamic). I acquired my medical diploma while residing in a foreign country, studying in a foreign language, and because of that I could not learn the material simply...

...them a curiosity about the natural world. I have a very laid back teaching style and am willing to tailor my teaching methods to most benefit the students style of learning. However, once the student has a firm grasp on a concept I hope to challenge them and encourage them to practice critical thinking.

...of my life. From personal experience from the point of view of both a teacher and a student, learning is not always a straightforward process. Teaching plans should be compatible with individual students, taking into account their goals, needs, and learning styles. For example, I personally like to incorporate secondary lines of reasoning.

...school full time, so I understand that many times students are trying to juggle school with various other activities.

...my middle school years, I found I have a knack for explaining abstract and difficult-to-understand topics. At which point, I began tutoring on a volunteer basis which later developed into a private tutoring business. I normally teach college courses as a Teaching Assistant at the University of South Florida Tampa campus, while I further my work on my dissertation (centered on genetics). I am comfortable with teaching mathematics through Calculus I (or whatever the equivalent.)...

...I liken this feeling to catching your first wave when you are learning to surf. That feeling will light up a student's face when they solve a problem on their own. This plays into my teaching philosophy as I believe everyone can learn these daunting subjects, they just just need to be made aware of it. I break problems down to simple forms and give the students the necessary tools to solve any problem and...

...an excellent source for writing and editing papers. But do not let my degree fool you My favorite subject to tutor is math. Math can overwhelm students because many math problems can be solved in multiple ways. I would start by encouraging students to use their intuition to solve a problem, assisting them if needed. As they gain confidence, I would expose them to different and quicker methods for solving similar problems. After all, less...
