Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Tampa, FL

...I have always loved math, from the time I was in elementary school up until now, while I am taking graduate level statistics courses. My favorite subjects to tutor are all math courses- from elementary up to statistics. My favorite part about tutoring is when a child really, truly starts to understand the material and they have that "aha" moment. Education is something that has always been important to me and I enjoy being able...

In terms of academic courses, I have thoroughly studied the biology field, with undergraduate courses and graduate courses in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Immunology, Pharmacology, and many others. In my preparation for the MCAT, and as requirements for my bachelor's degree, I have also...

...has the ability to learn. I have worked with students who have mild to severe knowledge gaps in math and love working to help them identify and fill those gaps in order to have a solid understanding of the subject. I am creative in using many different learning styles as I understand that all students learn differently and do not always understand every concept the first time. I look forward to working with your child...

...My passion is working with children and adolescents and helping to motivate them to learn. I work one-on-one with my clients and find our greatest success comes when I work to engage them, find what motivates them and will increase their interest in the material. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and pets (2 dogs and 7 cats), cooking/baking, and exploring the beautiful wildlife we have here in Florida.

...I also play soccer and tennis. One of my passions is to help people reach a higher level of personal success by encouraging them to work out of their natural talents and strengths. I grew up in South Florida and enjoy, and have missed, the beautiful and rich diversity that exists in the culture. Therefore, I look forward to moving back and using my knowledge and experiences I have obtained in college to benefit those...

...studies. As a member of the USF Chemistry Society, I have found it incredibly rewarding to be able to tutor students in science and mathematics, allowing me to learn how to work with students and their individual study habits. During my time at USF I have learned firsthand how valuable a good foundation of understanding can be in any subject, and am happy to help students work towards developing that foundation. When I am not...

...the Statler Center for Careers in Hospitality. Teaching has always been a passion throughout all of these endeavors, having graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale with my Bachelor's in Special Education degree in 2009.

I am currently pursuing my master's degree in teaching English at USF. We are taught to teach students to think for themselves and that is what I want to teach my students. I want my students to be able to succeed in whatever they put their minds to.

...writing. I have been writing for as long as I can remember, but I specialize in persuasive and argumentative writing; I even had a student editorial published in my local paper when I was 16. Due to this love for writing, I am able to tutor in a variety of English-based areas including the SAT and ACT Reading and Verbal Sections, general grammar studies, literature, and essay editing. As a tutor, I do not just...

I enjoy sharing knowledge and experience with those having a desire to learn. I also enjoy mentoring and training for a broad range of subjects. Due to my broad experiences over a long career, I cannot think of a better way to hand off years of professional interactions than to teach and train the minds of tomorrows professionals.... I believe teaching, above all occupations, carries the greatest responsibility. It is responsible for creating a foundation that prepares an individual to meet life's challenges. Regardless of the student's stage in life, when asking, the student should be challenged to explore the questions of the mind; not just receive answers to complete an assignment. This is the ongoing responsibility to represent the topic with professionalism and example. I have a mindset that teaching is more than following a syllabus or proposed curriculum. These two items provide a systematic approach, but including real world examples and analogies bring subject matter to life. Because students do not learn or comprehend at the same pace or with the same methods, i.e. kinesthetic, visual, audible, instructors should include these alternative methods in presenting material to ensure that each student has the opportunity to learn. Within these methods, I challenge students to be creative in exploring their weaknesses for learning by using their strengths to self-heal. I do not believe in the 'surface approach' to learning. This approach forces memorization and limits creativity to envision new ideas and build upon existing knowledge. The purpose is to learn, to retain for future use, and memorizing is for short-term purposes and therefore cannot benefit a student in the long run. Curriculum should include moments of repetition to promote long term learning that will give students confidence and enthusiasm that will carry through to their personal and professional lives. I get enthusiastic when given an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience. Aside from the feeling of accomplishment from completing assigned tasks in my professional life, there is joy that comes from enhancing another's knowledge or experience. I believe that, "A day without learning is a wasted day." I live by that phrase in that as I strive to excel in life and the workplace, transferring examples of achievement challenges students as well as colleagues to pursue excellence.
