Education changes lives and enriches the future. It nurtures minds and shapes the world around us. To achieve the main educational objectives of both undergraduate and graduate programs, my primary goal is to teach the course materials in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. For this purpose, I take advantage of a variety of pedagogical techniques to make my lectures interactive and to respond to the students' needs and abilities. I help all students learn essential concepts of the course and allow an open ground for students to communicate and share their ideas among the entire class. Beyond transferring technical knowledge, my endeavor is to foster critical thinking among students, enhance their problem-solving abilities, and enrich their intellectual strength, particularly in science and mathematics. It is also important for me to familiarize students with state-of-the-art engineering principles in both practice and research, and to prepare them in developing a future plan to enter the professional work place.

I am passionate about helping students because even a little additional instruction in a way tailored to that specific student could help them find their own passion or even just get through a difficult subject. My teaching philosophy and teaching style are student-centered and focused on active learning that pushes students to go beyond simple understanding or memorizing. I don't expect students to love every subject we go over, I adapt to their interests just as I expect them to learn to adapt to their own graduation and personal expectations. I aim to foster an environment of mutual trust and respect in which the student can feel comfortable learning while also pushing themselves to go beyond their own initial expectations. I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School, one of the top public high schools in New York City, and then the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. I am currently preparing for the Medical School entrance exam. I have worked with students of all ages, interests and needs for many years. With each of the several dozens of students I have worked with, I have found a unique approach to help them, whether they needed light instruction for reinforcement of material or heavy instruction to catch up on months of information. The subjects I have taught include both the typical English, mathematics, science, and history courses and test preparation courses like high school entrance exams and the SAT. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics, English, and the sciences. Mathematics is very straightforward and helps build logical reasoning, English allows a student to look within themselves to find the unique voice they can use in all of their future writing, and the sciences help build critical reasoning and research skills. I love teaching these subjects not only because they are necessary for graduation but also because they help them grow as people and future leaders.

I enjoy helping people and a better way to help the youth achieve their academic goals is by tutoring them in a way that they can understand by breaking the subject down using examples to make it simple and clear to understand. I have few hobbies besides my books, I love drawing flowers and traveling. I visited few places in the Caribbean and I took the opportunity to take pictures of the most beautiful flowers i could find to later draw and frame them.

I am an M.D., M.S, having graduated from New York Medical College with my Medical Degree and from Tulane University with my Master of Science in Clinical Research Methods. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects in both math and science, I am most passionate about teaching any of the medical sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, internal medicine, pediatric medicine, etc.), research and research-related subjects (epidemiology, statistics, etc.), and biological sciences at all educational levels. I also feel confident in my abilities to teach math and science, as it relates to standardized test preparation (USMLE, MCAT, ACT, and SAT). Throughout my own academic career, I have found that I am particularly adept at teaching others of all ages and educational levels. For example, as a medical student, I was often required to educate fellow medical students, pre-medical students, resident and attending physicians, nurses, and the remainder of the healthcare team about patients, medical conditions, journal articles, etc. Teaching and informing these individuals, who all had differing levels of education, at the same time was tricky, but I found that I was able to tailor my teaching to the entire audience, so as to ensure that everyone understood what was being discussed. This is both my teaching philosophy and tutoring style. No one teaching style works best for everyone, and I pride myself on ensuring that every tutoring session will be conducted in a manner which best helps each particular student grasp the topics being discussed. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing my guitar, listening to all types of music, reading, watching movies and TV shows, playing organized sports, and watching sports, in particular the glorious sport of ice hockey.

I am a U.S.F Graduate from The World Language Education department. I love the learning process and am fascinated with language learning. I speak a few languages and am planning to learn more. I am currently an interpreter and for many years have been a translator, teacher, and administrator. I have been in many countries and that opened my mind and widened my exposure to not only different languages, but also to a variety of cultures. I am teaching Arabic and French. France is often considered the language of culture. A French lesson is a cultural journey into the worlds of fashion, gastronomy, the arts, architecture and science. Learning French also offers access to the works of great French writers such as Victor Hugo or Marcel Proust and famous poets like Charles Baudelaire or Jacques Prvert, in the original text. It means being able to hear the voices of actors Alain Delon or Juliette Binoche, and the pleasure of being able to understand the words of French songs sung by Edith Piaf or a Charles Aznavour and even sing them yourself. Arabic is a beautiful language whether you are a student needing help with school assignments or a fan wanting an exceptional journey that start by learning how to write from right to left, I promise to be there for you and walk the journey with you as a native, a teacher and a lover of teaching what I know best.

I gradually shifted my weight toward Teaching and discovered how much I loved guiding students to understand and appreciate the vast body of knowledge available to us in the Humanities (Arts & Letters).I completed my Masters Thesis on the Illuminated Poetry of William Blake (1757-1827).

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in History from the University of South Florida. Throughout high school and college, writing has been a passion of mine. As a History Major in college, writing was an everyday experience for me. I have written numerous essays about many different historical topics. Writing these essays were a part of my academic curriculum, but for me, they were so enjoyable. Writing is truly my passion. I specialize in College Essay Writing. My main focus in tutoring is helping students reach their fullest potential when writing essays and academic papers. I truly believe that if students apply themselves and learn the material, they will succeed. There is absolutely no limit to the heights that a student can reach when they believe in themselves. I will tutor students in numerous writing styles, including MLA, APA, and Chicago Styles. I have used all three of these styles throughout my college career. It is essential for students to know these styles, so they can write effective academic quality essays. We will also go over basic grammar, spelling, and essay structure. Citations will also be a very important aspect of these lessons. I am a relatively new tutor, having tutored students at a previous job for three months. These wonderful and driven students came from a variety of diverse backgrounds, from undergraduate students, to MBA graduate students, to U.S. Navy personnel. The students truly enjoyed learning all that they could from my knowledge of writing and essays. It was truly rewarding to see their growth, and all of the progress they made. For me, that is the best part of tutoring; seeing students reach their fullest potential! In my spare time, I love to read, play video games, and collect action figures.

I received my bachelor's in Chemistry and a minor in mathematics.I have tutored in mostly STEM subjects (particularly chemistry and biology) and Spanish.I love to tutor these subjects because I love to bring a different and more creative approach to better understanding the difficult concepts.This will be my 7th year as a tutor. While tutoring, I believe explaining the conceptual parts of the problem is important, but I also believe in giving a lot of practice problems to reinforce the ideas.

Hi! My name is Mr. Martinez! I am a veteran teacher, and I currently teach at a virtual school. My degrees are in Psychology and Biomedical Sciences, with a chemistry focus. I also study mathematics, as it is very integrated in the Biomedical Sciences pathway. My certifications are in Chemistry and Biology. My style of teaching is to get to know you, and your prior knowledge and experiences, to better blend what you already know, in multiple aspects of learning/school and life, to bridge the gaps of understanding between those things and that which you are trying to learn. So, let's have fun and enjoy the process of learning together!
