I have been a tutor for only a semester now at Black Hawk College in Moline IL. I tutored up to College Algebra. I had two individual appointments and also worked with walk-ins. I have tutored Writing, Reading, accounting and a class about Microsoft Office.
My teaching style is to let the student tell me what they need and I continue to help them until they understand it.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners. Creating a positive learning environment begins with building a strong rapport with students and coworkers. Another aspect of building a strong classroom community is motivation. As a teacher, my goal is to help student build strong self-efficacy so that they feel inclined to work hard and develop an inner sense of motivation. I use scaffolding in my instruction, so the students are able to watch me demonstrate the skill or strategy, and slowly I turn over more and more responsibilities to the student regarding that skill until he or she is able to do the skill without my assistance.
I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specializat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a very strong background in writing. My experience includes my graduate research and thesis, news writing for a tv station, in addition to 6 years of writing for academia. I spent a semester in Pau, France and can tutor beginning to intermediate level students. I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in high school, college and graduate school.
I don't believe in giving a student the answers to their questions. Rather, I think it is important to help them find the answers themselves--understanding the process will enable them to perform on their own. For example, rather than editing a student's paper, I will go through it line by line and have them help me find the errors.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.
I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science.

I firmly believe that children are able to learn and grasp concepts more easily by relating the lessons and information to their everyday lives. If the material is presented in a manner where students can recall past experiences in their lives, it is much more likely to gain their attention and interest. My substitute teaching experience has taught me that praising effort and positive reinforcement are the ways to get the best results out of the students.
I have earned two bachelor degrees in History and Geology. I am presently taking online courses at Western Governors University to attain my teaching certificate. Additionally, I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-8 since 2009. I've recently completed a long-term teaching assignment including preparing my own lesson plans. I have substitute taught in all types of environments including general education and special educat ... read more

I have worked extremely hard to develop a well rounded educational background. I have earned a BS in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Administration. I also have completed several elective math and science courses as prerequisites for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy of which I will be starting in the 2009-2010 school year. I have had the privileged of completing countless written assignments, scientific papers, and homework assignments. I have no experience in tutoring however, I enjoy teaching others what I have learned.
My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to ... read more

My education thus far has been centered around writing. My collegiate career, the two years I spent in law school, and currently while in pursuit of MBA have all enhanced and refined my writing skills. All of the papers I have written for class are in APA format. I have received 6 perfect papers out of 4 classes I have taken thus far. I have become efficient in researching all required material needed for a paper, organizing and proofreading. I am confident in my writing skills as well as my ability to teach someone how to write an excellent paper. Over the past eight years, I have tutored family members, friends, and volunteered my time as English tutor at a local high school while in law school.
I love to help others. When teaching, I love to keep things fun and upbeat because the pressure of achieving excellence is stressful enough. I take what the student gives me meani ... read more

I believe everyone has their own aptitude for learning and will endeavor to discover each childs unique style for learning to help them strive to do their best in each endeavor they apply themselves to. My goal is to provide the best education possible and work with their own unique personalities on how to get them there. My parents and educators were a big factor in my life growing up and I hope to pass along some of that insight, knowledge and passion for learning that they taught me.
I have grown up in an education oriented household with both parents as teachers (Dad Chemistry and Mom English). Since earing my degree in CIS I have had 10 years of industry experience as well as having worked as a substitute teacher in both the Galesburg (CUSD #205, 200-2001) and Peoria (District 150,2007-Present) School Districts.

My pedagogical approach is founded upon space creating – creating an atmosphere that allows for each student to express themselves and become a valuable part of their own learning process. Without the student and their own initiative, minimal learning will take place. Such an approach provides students with a language of critique and critical understanding of the subject matter at hand. I seek to employ a more radical form of tutoring - one that gets to the root of the subject so the student fully grasps the concepts and information, rather than regurgitating the material.
I hold an AA and BA in Political Studies and I am currently working towards my Master of Arts in Political Science specializing in political philosophy and theory. I am simultaneously working towards my graduate certificate in Women and Gender Studies focusing on critical theory. Studying philosophy in conjun ... read more
