More About This Tutor...

Teaching and tutoring students for 10 years in grades 1-8 in the areas of reading, writing, math, social studies, civics and government, and Spanish has diversified my experience in educating all ages of children. With a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, I have developed an extensive knowledge base on how to successfully impart skills to my students.
I am a firm believer in differentiating instruction to meet the needs of each student. There is no one size fits all plan that will work for all children. My strengths include a foundational approach to learning, well-crafted lesson plans, and utilization of technology to enhance student interest. I feel my positivity, friendliness and dedication will result in academic achievement for all students I encounter.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent most of my career working with children who were unsuccessful in a traditional classroom. Discouraged and failing, many of my students had no recent memory of being successful. By showing them that they were capable learners, they regained their confidence and motivation. I used simple structured lessons to explain methods and concepts. I emphasized the relevance and meaning of all work, and allowed time for inquiry and discovery. Students were assessed only after thorough preparation. Strengths were emphasized; difficulties were embraced as a challenge. By creating opportunities for success, my students were willing to work through their struggles.
I have spent my 13 years as an educator in a variety of capacities. I spent four years as a tutor for an autistic child while I was in school. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in education, I worked for three ... read more

As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects.
I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student proc ... read more

I have been in some type of teaching experience for five years. I have interned at two Junior High Schools and one High school. I have also completed my student teaching in English at a Junior High school. I currently tutor a friend’s sister in English and I have worked with students since I was a Sophomore in High School.
I have a big heart and teach using my heart. I teach towards all learning abilities slowing down when I need to or speeding up the process if need be. I love my students and I work with them as hard as I can to push both of us to success. I am very patient. This past year I worked with students who were behind their fellow classmates and I reached success with almost all of them.

As a university-level professor, I understand that only about 20% of my students will prosper from a strictly lecture-style course. I have explored other means of learning with my students by encouraging them to read and interpret primary sources (sources written or objects used/produced by historical agents), discuss what they've learned in class, and conduct history investigations of their own. As a former museum professional, I am a strong believer in hands-on learning. In this respect, I encourage a student to own his/her learning, by constantly interacting with me and their fellow students as we attempt to better understand the material. I encourage my students to become better writers by holding "free-writes" in class, and going over how to structure an historical argument, and how to present evidence. I have worked with students of varying abilities, some of them with extreme dysl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience has been in training staff in accounting and tutoring nephews and nieces in school. I tutored my niece, Amanda, who was a D- student in math. She believed she was not smart enough. With my tutoring her to look at math differently, she improved her grades to an A. Even the teacher was quite surprised at the quick turnaround. Her fear of subjects, especially math, shut her off from learning. While I have no direct teaching experience, I have years of devotion to training many different kinds of people for many different kinds of positions throughout my career.
I would describe my teaching style as one of "mentoring". I believe in the "sustainability" of learning. Learning continues for all of our lives and on all levels. I believe that everyone can learn. It is up to teachers and mentors to reach the child and help create and define that spark within each ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While studying Physics at Iowa State University, I first discovered my love for teaching and tutoring and have been doing it almost continuously since then. I worked for the ISU Academic Success Center helping groups of 1-4 students learn calculus and calculus-based physics for 3 semesters. They always left my sessions understanding the subject better and gave me the highest reviews possible. Later, after briefly attending grad school, I went to Mexico and taught for a year. In my time there, I worked at both a private language school and as a 9th grade teacher at a private school. During this time, I learned a great deal about the English language as well as how to run a small class. Since returning to the US, I have also tutored my cousins in Spanish and ACT preparation. I now feel very comfortable tutoring for math and science as well as English, Spanish, and test preparation.< ... read more
