A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience with helping children with homework after school in the home as a babysitter. I also worked in a second grade classroom where I would help children who needed more time to grasp concepts especially in math, one on one, which helped me to develop patience and understanding and also gave me great tools to help explain concepts in many different ways until the child understands what the homework is asking of them.

When teaching, I will be mindful of my position as a role model and the kind of learning I strive to promote of transformative learning among students. Transformative learning is a reciprocal--informative and uplifting for teachers and students alike. It is about opening hearts and minds and changing lives for all those involved in the process. I will consider myself a successful teacher when students feel personally changed by their participation in my classroom and when students are able to challenge their beliefs through the use of critical thinking while keeping an open mind. These are tools of empowerment and rewards of transformative teaching and learning.

At college level, I lecture, write on the chalk board, give handouts, give and grade class and home assignments, and provide where necessary, one on one tutoring supported with several examples. At lower level tutoring, I follow any official guidelines provided or I listen to student's or students' problems to determine the weak points where they need help and I then work with the student(s) after developing an appropriate strategy for helping the student(s).
I have taught and tutored College level Economics, Statistics, Management, and Several Agricultural Economics courses for over twenty years in six different universities and colleges in Africa and in the United States. I also have three years experience of tutoring elementary and high school maths in the US.

I designed and taught a first-ever prekindergarten program at St. Anne School in Somerset, WI. I also directed and taught children's programs with the YMCA for children age birth through prekindergarten, having received the YMCA Focus Award for Excellence in Children's Programs. I directed the marketing and campaign programs for a school, which allowed me to utilize my expertise in writing, finances, community relations, as well as written and verbal communication. I have been a substitute teacher for all grades, most recently for grades PK-8th grade, including extensive one-on-one work with special needs children (speech, second language, autism, ADD/ADHD, physical, etc.)

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for helping others learn. In high school I tutored students from different schools in math. After graduating with two bachelor's degrees from the University of Minnesota I began working full time as a financial analyst for Target Corporation. At the same time, I started teaching part time at a learning center. In the past three years I have been able to help students of all ages from first grade through college. For the past year I have been teaching an ACT prep class for high school students.
I believe that every person has an optimal way in which they learn. Ideas that seem complicated can be made easy by simply changing the way in which it is presented. As a teacher it is important for me recognize how my students best learn and use that to present material. I also believe that students need to feel comfortable with their teachers. That is why I m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As cliché as this sounds - my favorite part of teaching is the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference. I have interacted with individuals across countless backgrounds and understand the idea of each student needing to hear things in their own terms. The simple concept penetrates through my patient teaching style. Some of my favorite ways to connect with students is to create simple analogies using subjects which interest them. My overall personable nature makes it easy for students to talk to me and I can always be counted on for advice (whether it be academic or otherwise).
My teaching experience began during high school when I would help out at my church's Sunday School providing remedial services like handing out papers. Since then I have earned a bachelor's degree in finance and economics with ambitions to earn a PhD. During my undergraduate experience I tutored begi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that each child has their own special style of learning in which they succeed the best at. When I tutor students I take the time to get to know each student on an individual basis and as a unique person. I make it a priority to determine their learning style and use that to implement a plan. I try and understand the reason they are having problems in their studies and then execute a plan in which they can succeed. I create study guides, review questions, and sample test questions for the students as well. In addition, a tutor can be a positive role model in student's lives and serve as a mentor and can be a person who the students can count on to answer questions.
As a student I enjoyed school and learning and therefore went on after high school to obtain a B.S in Biology. I have always enjoyed science, math, and writing and enjoy helping others in these subjects a ... read more

I prefer an interactive teaching style where the student determines how much they get out of it. I generally will not give a student an answer but will help them along until they can answer the question for themselves, thus making them more independent learners.
As a tutor, I primarily held 1 on 1 appointments several days a week. I primarily tutored in all levels of chemistry from general to biochem and I also tutored in accounting due to the introductory course that I had. My work as a supplemental instructor was by far the most rewarding. My job was to attend the Nursing Chemistry lectures and to take notes and create my own worksheets based on the material. I then conducted 2 review sessions per week to help the students master the material.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping students learn new information. Having studied Psychology, I find everyone interesting, and love to learn what makes them "tick". I use this tool to help me better understand where a student is coming from, what motivates them, and what their needs are when it comes to learning. I strive to be available to my students in a way the serves them best in their learning style.
I have been a Substitute Teacher for the past four years. I teach for grades K-12, and assist in special education. I also taught English to students while I stayed in Thailand. I especially enjoy working with Elementary students. I love to see students grow and learn new things.

Teaching is my life and it is what I do best. I am very patient, considerate and fun. I truly believe in providing a relax learning environment to maximize student's learning potential. Students learn best if concepts are significantly correlated to real life experiences thus, motivating their interest to learn and helping them to remember concepts easily.
I have been teaching for over 20 yrs. to a very diverse group of students. I ave completed 49 academic units for PhD in Biology and presently teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology to nursing students.I am also equipt to teach major Biology subjects like Genetics, Embryology and Physiology as well as fundamental concepts in Biology and Zoology.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have two BS degrees, one in physics and Education and a masters degree in Physics. I am also a licensed teacher, teaching Physics and Chemistry, and three-time variance to teach Math. My 11 year experience in teaching in public, Alternative high and charter schools has prepared me for this job.
My teaching style is such that students are taken and made active learners and not just as recipients of knowledge. Students have to own their learning. Students are encouraged to come up with the answers by leading them toward the answer and this involves using past experiences and knowledge leart earler instead of being given the answers. Collaborative learning is encouraged in my classes, because I believe that students can learn from each other.
