Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Burnsville, MN

I believe strongly in Experiential learning and alternative approaches to education that involve active participation from the student. I appreciate Heidegger's view on education as he states: "Teaching is more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this: to let learn... The real teacher, in fact, lets nothing else be learned than — learning." I am a recent summa cum laude graduate from St. Catherine University in Saint Paul MN, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in French and Studio Arts. I am currently finishing a year long fellowship at the Marchutz School of Fine Arts in the South of France where I have participated in the immersive painting and drawing program in addition to providing guidance and assistance to students. In my spare time I also tutor English and French as a second language to children ages 5-10. Being extensively involved in the learni

I've been an artist my whole life and went to school for illustration and multimedia where I got the opportunity to learn under a Pixar story artist. My style ranges from caricatures to large scale wall murals and paintings. I'm a logo and tattoo designer as well. I also do video editing and production with a focus on preproduction and storyboarding. I love composition, pressure psychology, line psychology and color theory. I really enjoy teaching others how to draw, and believe that with practice just about anybody can create something great!

I have always loved drawing and can teach basic concepts, from sketching to final pieces. I received my B.S. degree in Biology, and am knowledgeable about many sub-disciplines, including life sciences (plants/animals), genetics, evolution, and anatomy. I am generally able to explain difficult biological concepts in a more conversational way. I've worked with high school youth in the past (approx. 2 years experience) in a crew structure teaching job skills (resume writing, interviewing, etc.) and basic biological/ecological principles. I have worked with family and friends to teach basic personal finance and resume-writing tips to help them achieve great results. I am primarily an environmental consultant, and I routinely use MS Office programs to analyze, organize, and present data in easy-to-understand ways. I've taught several co-workers, family members, and friends how to use these p

While attending and completing four years of Education courses at a well respected institution I was focused and driven to complete the curriculum and focus on creative lesson planning. Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task. The preparation and focus applied in college paired with an immense interest in History has molded me into a life learner as well as teacher. Most of my experience is related to the Social Sciences, however I have substitute taught several math and science classes. I have also completed multiple college courses in math and science. I have a very modifiable style of teaching, meaning I cater to the student or students. I quickly learn the curriculum and can find multiple ways to teach it. This allows me to utilize the students major styles of learning and develop

I believe in meeting each child at his/her current skill level and building confidence and concepts from there. Each student has his/her own strengths and weaknesses, and learns at his/her own pace. Rather than expecting all students to understand a concept using one teaching style, I teach a lesson using multiple modalities followed by step-by-step tasks which reward successive approximations to a concept. The students who catch on quickly can use the time to build on their skills and expand upon the concepts, while I work more closely with students struggling with the concepts presented. I do this because I care, and believe academic success and personal confidence are key to life success. Ten years ago, at just 14, I knew I had a calling to help others reach full potential in all aspects of their lives, and did something about it. At that time, I implemented a scheduled and drop-in tu

As a Metropolitan State University graduate from the Urban Teacher Program, I have earned my minor in early childhood education and my BS degree in elementary education. My degree has allowed me to gain full comprehension in many areas of readers and writer’s workshop, math, reading, english, psychology, language arts and history. For eleven years, I have strived to educate the students in the Twin Cities area through employment with Saint Paul Public Schools, volunteering and tutoring. The type of classroom experience I have is: lead teacher, individual tutoring, small group facilitation, teacher aid, assessments and service learning experience. Through my work I have seen and understand the importance of educating our youth. As an educator, I love teaching and working with students of all ages. Through my experience, I have learned and believe that all children can succeed academi

I don't have a style. I try to go with the flow. What that means is I assess what the students know, what they don't know, and what they need to know and adjust what I teach and how I teach it accordingly. I can go over/review information as many times as students need it. It is important to go back to the old information that was learned and review it, so students keep adding to what they know as they learn new information. If the students know the old information, then I don't review it as much or as long as I would if they were having problems with remembering the old information that was taught. I try to give each student what they need, based on their deficiencies and their questions. I have been a teacher for ten years. I have been substitute teaching between contract French teaching assignments. I have worked with, taught, and tutored students of different classes, differen

It has been my experience, both as a student and a teacher, that people learn best with positive reinforcement and patience. When assisting students I make it my goal to explain the subject matter step by step and to avoid confusion. I also know that students are more comfortable when they feel you are truly engaged in their learning experience and concerned about their success. It is vital that educators help students utilize their education to the fullest, even beyond the classroom. Education can be the basic foundation of self-confidence and it takes passionate educators to make this happen. I reflect often on those who helped me during my academics and who taught with genuine interest in their students. I strive to be one of those teachers. I have just completed my master's degree combining courses from both biology and anthropology. My thesis concentrated on awareness of nature and

My goal is to provide information in small steps which eventually lead to the mastery of a subject. I include problem-solving and critical thinking in my teaching, since this will eventually lead to an independent student who really understands the subject. Even though my teaching style may remain the same, my goal is to accurately determine what learning style the student has. I have always strived to excel in my education, and I want to eventually become a college chemistry professor. I have earned two bachelor degrees from St. Cloud State University, a BS in Biochemistry and a BS in Biology, which have allowed me to obtain a very large base of knowledge in both chemistry and biology. I excelled in Organic Chemistry in school, and performed Organic Chemistry research as an undergraduate. I also was a teaching assistant in college, and taught pre-lab lectures and assisted students wit

I am a firm believer that EVERY can learn and deserves the right to an excellent education. As an educator, I do anything that I can to meet the needs of all my students. I encourage critical thinking/reasoning skills, lively discussion, and many hands-on and engaging opportunities for my students. I believe that teaching should be culturally responsive in order to be motivating, engaging, and powerful for all students. I have always had a passion for teaching and learning. I graduated from Wittenberg University with two BA degress- one in Early Childhood Education, and the other in Spanish. I taught first grade for two years in Virginia, and this past year have begun graduate work at the University of Minnesota. I will have an MA in Literacy Education, and an additional licensure in K-12 Reading. I have a passion to bring all children to the highest levels of literacy as I belie

The philosophy behind my teaching is to let the student guide their learning by relating information to their lives and interests so that it comes to life for them. Every student has the ability to do well if their learning is valuable to them. It is my goal to help students discover a passion for learning and work myself out of a job as they begin to take hold of their own education. Beginning as a student working towards my TEFL certificate, I volunteered at Somali Adult Literacy Training and organization which teaches English to Somalis in the Twin Cities. I continued volunteering with the same organization for 3 years. I have worked with a variety of skill levels and taught students on my own. Additionally, I have completed a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at North Central University. My fields were Education and English, but I have taken Calculus, Physics and Chemistry, and several

My degree in psychology has enabled me to understand all children better, and to work especially well with special needs students. I have experience tutoring students from the ages of 3 to 40+. Subject-wise I have taught Writing, ESL, Spanish and Karate. I have even given self-esteem building talks to grade-schoolers and middle-schoolers. My experiences as a writing tutor, newsletter editor, as well as a Psychology ILP assistant allow me to excel at working with students on all types of writing assignments. Every child learns differently. In a world where we corporately streamline everything so that it all comes out pre-packaged and exactly the same we often lose sight of how unique each person is. I find that listening carefully to a child's reasons for having difficulty can help you to better understand how to help them learn. I find that children are often given too little credit - es
