Education has always been at the center of my life. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech, then went on to study Mathematics at the graduate level at the University of South Florida. Later, I completed a degree in Educational Leadership, which allowed me to combine my love for teaching with strong expertise in tutoring for exams such as the PRAXIS and FTCE. I began tutoring many years ago, and it quickly became one of the great joys of my career. I truly love everything about schoollearning, teaching, and being part of the academic journey. As a high school math teacher, I taught a wide range of subjects, from Algebra to AP Calculus, and I've carried that same versatility into my tutoring work. My goal is always to break down difficult concepts into clear, understandable lessons while keeping students engaged, confident, and never overwhelmed. Beyond teaching content, I focus on building strong connections with my students. I believe that when a student feels comfortable asking questions and isn't afraid to say, "I don't understand," real learning happens. I create a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere that fosters curiosity and growth. Over time, I've also developed a wealth of test-taking strategies, which I share as needed to help students manage anxiety and approach exams with confidence. The greatest reward for me is seeing my students succeednot just in mastering the material, but in gaining confidence in themselves as learners. Many of my students have told me how much easier math feels after working together, and I'm proud to have earned nearly perfect ratings throughout my years of tutoring. At the heart of everything I do is a love of learning and a passion for helping others discover it too. Tutoring is not just my profession it's my calling, and I am grateful for every opportunity to make a difference in a student's academic journey.

I come from China, and came to United States at January 2012. I received my master degree in science from University of South Florida, majored in Finance.When I was in college back in China, I tutored a boy English for two years.He was in fourth grade when I started. His English teacher in school said he had trouble to follow up with what he was teaching. After 2 months, his score went to top 10 of his class. After I came to the States, I helped my friends' children to learn Mandarin during the summer of 2012. They were two 7 and 9 year-old brothers, both American Born Chinese. Their parents wanted them to speak Mandarin. After that summer, the boys can communicate in Mandarin. I enjoyed my tutoring with these children. It makes me feel fulfilling and I find myself can be very patient and effective with my students in language learning. Also my students seems to have a lot of fun in learning, because I used some fun ways instead of just teaching textbook.Languages are complicated subjects. I like to make different plans for different students, focus on what they are weak in or want to learn most, and use various methods to achieve our goal.In my spare time, I like reading books, watching movies, running and singing. I used to go to karaoke all the time with my friends when I was in China. (Speaking of Friends, that is my favorite TV series. The six gave me great joy. But most of all, they were always loyal and honest with each other. That's what I learned from them.)

I am very passionate about education, and as you can see from my own educational history, I truly love being a student myself. I love learning and taking on new challenges and this is why being a tutor means so much to me personally. If I can help someone else achieve their dreams and educational goals, it makes all the work I have put into my own education even more worth it. I have worked with students in a variety of settings, including a Faculty Instructor position and tutoring students for NCLEX prep. I have worked with students of all ages and have a passion for education that shows in my approach to tutoring. I aspire to help my students reach their goals, while also building confidence that will help in their future profession. I believe that every student learns differently, and I am very willing to adapt my approach to meet the needs of each specific student in order to achieve their educational goals.I am currently working as a BSN Instructor in both clinical and lab simulation environments, and also am a doctoral candidate at the University of Central Florida earning my DNP in Advanced Practice Nursing. My current degrees include a BA in Forensic Anthropology (2006), AS in Mortuary Science (2008), AS in Nursing (2016), BS in Nursing (2017), MS in Nursing (2020). My MS in Nursing was to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, and I will be sitting for board certification in March 2021. I also hold a Crime Scene Investigation (2006) and an Infant & Family Mental Health Certificate (2020). My educational history was at the University of Central Florida, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg College, and Pasco-Hernando State College.I tutor mostly nursing focused courses, as this is my area of expertise. My favorite subjects to tutor are Anatomy, Physiology, Health Promotion, Pharmacology, and NCLEX prep.I hope that I can help you reach your educational goals through tutoring and look forward to meeting you!

I began my Biology education at the University of South Florida, in Tampa, in 2004, as an early admission student, before graduating high school in 2005. I chose a Biology degree based on my lifelong fascination with the amazing animals around me. During my education, I also explored the fields of Anthropology and Chemistry.I developed a passion for Organic Chemistry and worked in a natural products lab for over a year before switching to an embryology lab for my undergraduate thesis. After graduating with honors, I moved to Pittsburgh to continue my research career at Carnegie Mellon University, as Ph.D. student in Biological Sciences. My doctoral research focused on the cellular and biochemical processes involved in epinephrine signaling regulation. While Cell Biology was the central theme, I also studied Neuroscience and Pharmacology to better understand my work in physiological context.Throughout my time at Carnegie Mellon, I had the opportunity to teach in the community and practice Science communication skills. This included working as a Teacher's Assistant for university courses, mentoring at educational events for high school students, and seminars in making complex information more approachable. I was fortunate enough to utilize these lessons as a volunteer Teacher at a Peace Corps organized Science camp in August 2014, where I taught environmental systems, Neuroscience and Cardiac Physiology to girls ranging in age from 12 to 19.As a Tutor I am excited to bring together my knowledge and experiences to help students better understand the Science and Math that has illuminated my world. I try to bring in real world analogies and examples of daily relevance to every lesson. My favorite subjects to teach are general Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics and Evolution but I am happy to stretch and apply my practical knowledge to many other subjects.

Learning is a life-long opportunity; it does not require a classroom. Everyone you meet in life knows something that you do not ~ listen and learn from each of them.

I am a recent graduate of The University of South Florida with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in Psychology. My goal is to attend medical school and become a doctor. Growing up the oldest of three siblings, I have been helping others with their studies as long as I can remember. I realized I had a passion for teaching during undergrad, assuming a teaching/leading role during labs and in organic chemistry studies. It was very fulfilling to help other student gain an understanding and mastery over what are very difficult concepts. I primarily focus on teaching ACT/SAT test prep as I am currently studying for my MCATs and know how stressful standardized tests can be at times. My goal when working with students is to relieve some of this test anxiety by preparing students for what they will see on test day as well as building confidence in students by using effective test strategies. My hobbies include watching and playing sports, listening to rock music (my favorite band is Tool), and watching movies.

I am passionate about teaching. The classroom is a space for me to grow along with my students. I bring to the classroom a myriad of personal experiences and academic successes that I hope to share with my students. My principal purpose of teaching is to boost CREATIVE and CRITICAL THINKING. I'm a Master of Fine Arts from the University of South Florida (USF). I also hold a teacher's Certificate in K12 (subjects: Art and Spanish) I've taught Video Art and Video Editing as Adjunct Professor at USF for 6 semesters. I taught Drawing, Digital Art, Creative Photography, and advanced levels for each of the previous subjects at the Hillsborough County Public Schools. I'm proficient with several Adobe CC software like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere. I was born in Cuba and Spanish is my native language. I want to impart artistic skills to students and make them aware of social, cultural, political, and economic factors that influenced art in different historical periods. I also want to help my students to navigate through the wonderful experience that is learning Spanish, Portuguese, and aspects of Latin-American cultures.

I am a graduate of University of South Florida. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology. Since graduation, I have worked as a 911 dispatcher for a local sheriff's office for 13 years and then decided to add a teaching certification to my bachelor's degree and become a teacher 8 years ago. I am certified to teach Social Sciences for grades 6-12 and Reading K-12, however I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, nature, animals, and roller coasters.

I am a full time student at University of South Florida, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. During my free time, I like to tutor students in math subjects such as Elementary, Middle, Algebra 1/2, and Calc 1. I've been tutoring for about a year now and have tutored 100+ students. My teaching philosophy is that students should be taught things in a way they understand. In addition, teaching prerequisite knowledge is important.

I am a graduate of the University of the West Indies in Jamaica where I completed my BS in Molecular Biology and will obtain my MS in Biotechnology in Fall 2022 from the University of South Florida . I work in an Immunology lab and I have 3 years of experience teaching English to Chinese students ages 4-14 with demonstrated success in improving their phonics, grammar and reading skills.

I am excited to meet each and every one of you and beyond thrilled to build long-lasting relationships and work closely together to successfully achieve your academic goals.

My name is Min-Lee, and I am a graduate from the University of South Florida, where I earned my BS in Chemistry. I thus have a lot of personal experience with the Sciences and Maths. I have since gone on to teach Chemistry and Environmental Science at the High School level. If there is one thing my experiences have taught me, it's that anyone can grasp even the most difficult of concepts. It's just a matter of finding the right explanation.

I received my undergraduate education from the University of Florida majoring in Biology and specializing in upper division science courses. I went on to receive my Master's degree in Medical Sciences from the University of South Florida. From my experience, some courses come easier than others, but with enough effort everyone can excel. I believe that a tutor should be knowledgeable, personable, andabove allpatient The only feeling better than helping someone is the feeling that they get when they make a breakthrough. I am passionate about learning and assisting others with the intention of becoming an excellent physician in the future. I am eager to apply the knowledge and skills that I have learned along the way to improve the lives of those looking to better themselves.

I always strive to be my best every day.I have four college degrees that vary pretty significantly. I have a culinary degree from Johnson and Wales University, a general AA from Valencia Community College, a Bachelors degree in Anthropology with a minor in African American studies, and a Masters Degree from the University of South Florida. I have worked as a freelance book editor for about ten years as well as a freelance archivist at local universities. I am published on the Legislative Archives website as well as creating metadata for the Library of Congress. But my favorite job that I do besides tutoring of course, is as a dog walker. I have found that sitting all day is not for me so I walk peoples dogs.I have worked as a tutor for 3 years, everything from elementary reading, math, social studies and science up to and including Algebra. I home school one of my children but send the other to regular school where he thrives more with a traditional setting.My family and I live on a small farm in central Florida where we raise rabbits for show. We also have chickens, horses and a pot bellied pig.I love to teach elementary and middle school writing and reading. I love the look on a child's face when they understand what they have just accomplished. I truly enjoy most sciences including social science, and anything history related is right up my alley.

I am an experienced scientist and have learned the importance of patience and consistency when teaching science to those just beginning their journey. I have dealt with new students and experienced scientists and realize that complex ideas are best taught with a lot of understanding and patience. Nothing satisfies me more then to see a student's reaction when they finally grasp a concept and be able to use it in their thinking. Science is important to our civilization and our understanding of the universe and our future. We live in exciting times and we should not miss a thing around us.

I have a Masters Degree in Adult Education from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, and a Bachelors Degree from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL. My experience in tutoring spans from Elementary school to college/adult students. I was also hired as an English-Speaking Teacher by the Korean government (SOME) in Seoul, S. Korea. I have had the privilege of meeting students from every walk of life and I am forever grateful for that. Yet, my expertise in tutoring is NOT limited to my education and teaching experience. I have learned also from my experiences during my early high school years. I didnt take education seriously and thus I didnt think I could learn. However, as I progressed up the Education ladder and attained my Masters Degree, I made a promise to myself and to those I have taught and will teach, that I will teach with an understanding and compassion for the learner who can learn, but who may not have the confidence. The truth is, everyone can learn. Its just that sometimes we need help discovering that we can accomplish more than we think.

I am a National Merit awardee, and a recent USF Graduate with a D.B.A. with Honors in Philosophy and History, both of which I enjoy thoroughly. My job is to make the material as easy to understand for you as it is for me. I have done this by mastering conversational Socratic ask-and-answer methodology to ensure my students attain the capacity to come to the right answers on their own. Additionally, I have invented multiple general tactics and even detailed strategies pertinent to specific question types, with the ability to translate the above to all learning styles including neurodivergent ones -particularly ADHD and anxiety which I myself have- to radically and adaptably simplify the exam for students as per their personal learning aptitudes.

I'm an engineer with tutoring experience ready to help students of all ages in a variety of math subjects, as well as with standardized testing needs. Being an engineer means that I'm a problem-solver, and that I need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences.The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn, not just tricks to get through their homework. If there's some basic skills missing, I make sure to go back and polish those up before getting back to the main problem. At the end of the day, I want the student to to feel confident they're getting better.I can handle things as simple as algebra or as complicated as calculus. I'm also an excellent test taker, ready to assist with the SAT or ACT exams. I'm confident I can help you or your child get better at math, and hopefully make it a little fun along the way.

I look forward to showing students that they can understand math!

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana. I am extremely passionate about history and even more so about getting to share that passion with others. More than anything, I hope to help share the wonders of our shared history in a way that isn't simply memorizing.
