I am relaxed, calm, and patient when tutoring. I use graphical, verbal and/or written methods dependent on the skill set and approach that is best for each student. I believe that every student has an innate ability to learn. It is the tutor's job to find out the approach that will yield the best results with each individual student. I graduated with my Master's in Chemical Engineering in 1985 and have used that experience and my life experience to excel at the tutoring that I have done over the last 15+ years. I have tutored all levels of mathematics, high school and college Chemistry and SAT/ACT preparation and study. My education has been invaluable to my ability to help students excel.

I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. Regardless of past reports that may indicate a child's personlized behavior program or low academic achievement, I believe that each and every student can succeed when given positive reinforcement and review of basic fundamental skills. Another important teaching tool I have used with the younger students is demonstrating procedures and transitions, so that time is not taken away from learning. I am creative in incorporating all learning styles into my planning. Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at St. M

I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student. Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.

I am a life long learner, but would not be if it were not for passionate and dedicated educators I have been fortunate enough to be inspired by. Now it is my turn to pay forward my passion and expertise in science. It is my personal belief that material, particularly science, should be presented in several ways: theoretical, practical and with implications. By providing a well rounded description of topical information in relation to the "big picture" students are better able to process and evaluate information. Manipulative or illustrative assistance is key in providing effective instruction in life sciences. During my involvement with the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Office Training Corps, I contributed 2,000 hours of community enrichment education and tutoring to at risk and low income youth.

I am a firm believer that learning should be fun! Research shows that children learn best through exploration and play, so I strive to create this climate during all of my teaching endeavors. In addition, I spend time getting to know my students and forging relationships with them; this helps me connect with them and adapt my teaching strategies to what is most enjoyable for them. I wholeheartedly believe that each child holds the potential for the same educational gains -- I help them achieve these gains by being a partner in learning rather than a micromanaging educator. I began my teaching career as a Certified Cognitive Skills Trainer, educating children ages 6 to 17 years. For a year and a half, I helped those students improve upon their reading, comprehension, math, attention, reasoning and logic, and visualization skills. Often times, I saw my students achieve 5+ year gains. Since
