My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : Experienced in brochures and newsletter design.

Previously have worked for newspaper designing advertisements. At this time I'm doing freelance work from home, designing for printers on an as needed basis. Freelancing gives me all kinds of experience working with different clients and designing for their specific needs. Work varies from brochure design, newsletters and logo design.

I love teaching children and being able to see them learn. It is awesome to see and hear when they finally "get it" or when they understand something that I taught them. Moreover, when a student gives you an answer to a question and uses an example of something that you taught them earlier, it really shows you how quickly they can pick things up. My teaching "style" is very open--I will have an outline and while I am presenting I will sometimes ask for examples from the students to help get us through the outline together. You can't speak AT them; you have to involve the students in what you are teaching them.
Just recently, I worked with students in New Berlin, WI as part of the Junior Achivement program. While in High School and College, I worked with students in Madison at Whitehorse Middle School on Video Editing, PC Repair, Postmodernism, and Music. I have extensive skills in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I use a variety of teaching techniques to help my students apply the fundamental concepts and theories learned in the classroom to everyday life. My main goal is to encourage independent thinking and analytical reasoning to promote high order thinking skills, not just memorization. By using the techniques described, I create a logical thinker that emphasizes teamwork. Although I always stress mastery of the information, I also stress the application of the knowledge. As I stated in my opening paragraph, I use the latest state-of-the-art technologies to aid me in my quest. I believe “seeing is believing” and I use virtual learning spaces and learning management systems to achieve this goal.
Masters degree and over 12 years of classroom teaching experience. I am looking for a part time opportunity to utilize my skills as a veteran physics/ science teacher. I am skilled in creating a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught and served as a principal at parochial schools for 15 years, teaching every subject in every level in grades 4-8, and English in grades 9-12. In addition, I have served as an adult educator for 6 years. My particular areas of interest are in technology, language and reading, history, and logical thinking/essential skills. Much of my life I have provided tutoring services to students in my schools, helping them to achieve their highest potential. I have had documented success in helping students to improve their levels of academic success and self-image as active and independent learners.
My teaching style spans two decades, and many hundreds of students. In that time, I have learned that individual students have individual learning styles. Therefore, my teaching style would be dependent upon the student and his or her needs and current state of mind. When possible, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most rewarding aspect of teaching and tutoring is when the lightbulb goes off at the crucial point of understanding in the student's mind. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management and School Leadership. Furthermore, I have 67 additional education credits pertaining to teaching, tutoring, communication and human resources. I feel it's important to stay abreast of current educational trends, research and developments which ultimately affect the teaching style and learning effectiveness of the individuals involved.
Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A ... read more

My early teaching and learning style was to do as many problems that were thrown at me in class or the text. I learned quickly that you need to understand the problem in order to solve problems that aren't set up for you. I enjoy teaching and have a lot of patience with my students becuase I believe they all have the potential to meet and exceed their expectations with the proper tutuledge.
I have multiple degrees in computer and electrical engineering from Purdue University. I also have a partial degree in Accelerated Associates in Culinary Arts from Kendall College and a few classes in Computer Science in the Masters program in Computer Science and the University of Illinois Chicago.

I believe that learning occurs through doing, particularly when it comes to writing. Students become better writers by putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). There are obviously techniques to be taught and encouraged, but individual discovery is key. As a tutor, I believe that it is my responsibility to serve as a guide, keeping learners on track and pointing out opportunities for getting closer to the ideal.
As a graduate assistant at Northern Illinois University, I taught composition, primarily using popular culture as a topic for expository writing and developing critical thinking skills and techniques. I have also served as a substitute teacher in the Rockford Public Schools in several subject areas. Most recently, I spent five+ years as the Communications Editor for a global manufacturing company, where I was responsible for all sales literature and communication in th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a young adult I always had a passion for teaching. I began tutoring at a young age and then after high school began working towards my teaching certificate in English. While in college I worked as a private tutor and also volunteered as a tutor at a local middle school. I currently teach high school English and also advise our school's newspaper and yearbook.
I love teaching and working with all types of students. I believe that to enable our children to learn we must first teach them how to be critical thinkers. I have always had a passion for reading and hope to help other students discover their passion.

A Little Bit About Me...

If I can't get excited about my subject, why should my students? I believe anyone can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in anyone's education. The teachers who I have had that stand out in my memory have some attributes in common: they presented subjects in a way that caught my interest, clarified difficult topics, and led me through complex areas by putting knowledge into context so that its relevance was apparent. These role models have influenced my approach to teaching: I view myself primarily as a facilitator of learning, rather than as an expert who simply delivers information to students.
I am a highly experienced, result-driven professional with a passion for teaching/tutoring science, math, and engineering. I am also a graduate with a Masters of Science in Che ... read more

I have always been a reader and a writer. In my degree work, I learned how to inspire others to read critically and write well. I have many years experience as a college-level instructor. I also work locally with high school students at my church. In addition, I have worked at Writing Centers at several institutions. I also have helped with successful grant writing for several local organizations.
My classrooms involve learning-centered groups in a workshop approach. I find that students are encouraged by the examples of other writers and learners at their own levels. I provide a great deal of individual feedback on assignments. I encourage the imitation of examples in writing and the discovery of other writing styles. I am sensitive to the needs and learning needs of each student.

I started tutoring people because it seemed like a great way to meet different people, but I continued because I like helping people learn and discover new things. Everyone is different and therefore my teaching style various by student but typically the way I relate the information to everyday events or make abstract ideas concrete are the most effective. I work with students in a variety of manners to make sure that auditory, visual, and kinestic learners.

More About This Tutor...

I spent most of my undergraduate degree focused on learning advanced mathematics. While it was extremely challenging, I enjoyed it more than any other education experience. My love of math was echoed in my love for literature and writing. Although English was less challenging for me, the creative freedom made it worthwhile. All through college, I tutored math an English. After college, I pursued a career in branch banking, and worked my way to branch manager of a Seattle based bank. My love for teaching got the best of me, though, and I returned to graduate school for my teaching certification. I have taught in inner city schools for the last two years, and I haven't looked back since.
I consider myself an engaging and fun teacher, while at the same time a driven motivator. Because of my unusual degree in pure math, my knowledge of the content area and various solution stra ... read more
