...that, I've taught everything from basic aerodynamics to flight physiology and weather. I love teaching, and especially teaching aviation subjects because the aviation community is a small, tightly-knit family. Very few people get to experience the thrills of flight and understand what a privilege it is to soar above the clouds. Every one of us who has ever looked to the skies in the hopes that we may be up there deserves the opportunity to...

...and teaching experience. I have spent the past 6 years of my life building a historical expertise that I am ready to share with my students. I studied at the University of Central Florida, where I completed a Bachelor's degree in history, and I am almost finished with a Master's degree in history as well. I understand that my passion is not everyone's passion, but that knowledge of history is important to success. I pride...

...with various subjects and learning with the students is a treat regardless of the content being taught. Getting to know a student, and creating a lesson plan to suit them is a rewarding challenge.

I've understand the value of teaching oneself content thoroughly before teaching it to...

I really enjoy the job and actually began my job as a tutor as a result. A parent of one of my students asked if I could begin tutoring her over the summer to keep her on track for the upcoming school year. Before I knew it, I was tutoring her brother...

As a future teacher now, I am devoted to...

...I have learned through my life experiences to be patient and understanding of each person's individual learning style and method and attempt to tweak my approach to best fit that learning style. I have a passion for learning new things and exploring existing ideas with people with little experience in those areas. Those discussions offer me an opportunity to view matters through a new viewpoint I may not have considered gaining as much as I...

As a tutor, I am able to utilize my background in different environments and develop teaching plans that encompass every difficulty a student may face.
