More About This Tutor...

At SCSU, I work as a writing consultant at the Writing Center on campus. With students, I help to make them better writers by helping answer questions, presenting questions, working through the brainstorming and paper-writing process, and helping with formatting. As well, I have helped to coordinate our second satellite location, which entails working with people on their schedules, managing conflicts of schedule, and serving as a head of the second location. I am also fluent in Spanish and feel comfortable tutoring high school and college levels.
My teaching style is, for the most part, non-directive. I think it is important to try to have students answer their own questions. When this does not work, I do not just tell the student what goes where or why this doesn't work, I give reasons and have them tell me these same reasons the next time we come across something that doesn't wo ... read more

I am undaunted by challenges, easy to get along with, and passionate about the English language. I approach each student as a person, recognizing that each will have specific needs and that certain methods will work better than others. I believe it is my job to make the material comprehensible and relevant. I believe the best results occur when the student connects, for themselves, their own innate ability to communicate, and the possibilities that lay upon a sheet of paper. I believe that every student can learn to love one thing about writing, even if they hate to write. I believe that writing can become as natural as thinking, and that it clarifies our thought.
With a BA in Politics, Philosophy, & Economics (w/Literature Concentration), I am able to help students move beyond a simple grammatical appreciation of the English Language: from understanding allusions to developing the ... read more

I love working with all ages and generally prefer English as a Second Language students, but I enjoy working with everyone. My teaching style is very student centered as I try to figure out what a learner likes to learn and cater the instruction to them so it stays fun and educational. I do not necessarily prescribe to a particular approach to teaching as I believe it takes a variety to make a difference. Every learner is different. I know I love teaching and I love when a student strives to be the best, that is truly the most rewarding thing about being an educator.
As an undergraduate at the University of Mississippi I was a teaching assistant for a College Skills class and also a year long tutor at Oxford High School in pre-algebra. After graduating from the University of Mississippi I lived in Seoul, South Korea and taught students ages 5-11 English as a Second Language, i ... read more

I have been a substitute teacher for over a year. I have subbed for every grade level and subject. A significant amount of my sub jobs have been math related. I am working on my Master's Degree at The College of Saint Scholastica, in Education. I also have had numerous classroom field experiences through the college, where I have been observed by other teachers and professors. During these experiences, every cooperating teacher has let me use them as a reference. From substitute teaching to my prior career as a correctional officer, I have a tremendous amount of experience turning a bad situation into a good one. In a tutoring environment, I have a lot to offer the student(s).
My teaching philosophy is simple; I believe in providing a safe and positive atmosphere for students to learn. In creating this positive atmosphere I motivate my students by showing them that they can in ... read more

I've been told I have a great capacity for making complex ideas more understandable. This is why students seeking Math help at my University would ask for me specifically, I can take a complicated concept and explain it in a way that makes it seem much simpler, and when one approach doesn't work, I go again from a different direction. My goal is always to make the student understand the process and reasoning, not just memorize a method. I am approachable and patient, and I can adapt to any learning style. My favorite part of being a tutor is seeing that spark of understanding in a student's face.
I have helped my fellow students learn for nearly as long as I've been learning, myself. While attending Community College, I worked as a Peer Tutor in a wide range of subjects. While attending University, I worked as a General Subject Tutor and as a Math Tutor. I studied abroad in South K ... read more

After I received my degree in Elementary Education, I was a substitute teacher in IA for one year. I then worked, taught and advised at a small private college in Iowa. I have also owned and operated a daycare in my home for over three years. Currently have have spent the past two years as a substitute teacher for the Buffalo, MN school district. This is a job I love for the simple fact that I have variety everyday. It is also a great way to stay up to date on all subject matter. I am also in the process of earning my Master's Degree in Education.
I have been very successful at adapting my teaching style to fit the age and subject that I am teaching. I am easily able to gain students respect and attention, which has also made me a very useful substitute.

More About This Tutor...

I am a firm believer that if a student really wants to learn, and accepts a challenge, they can learn a language faster in a few months than most people can over the course of an entire school career. I don't believe in traditional styles that simply teach words and phrases, but rather I focus on the core of grammar. While perfecting my Spanish skills I began to develop a course to teach Spanish to beginners, and continue to perfect that course with a hope to someday publish. With the majority of my experience tutoring advanced level sophmores, juniors, and seniors in college, I am confident that I am ready for all levels of Spanish.
I am a graduate of St. John's University with a major in Spanish. Before attending college, I lived for a year in Venezuela, learning to perfect my spoken Spanish. While in college, I perfected my written Spanish through my degree and a semester ... read more

My teaching style is mentoring, or sharing of knowledge, in combination with promoting the understanding of consequences. I strongly believe that learning can and should be an enjoyable experience for student, teacher and any other involved parties, such as parents. While some subjects may require rote memorization, I always try to explain the underlying reason, purpose and benefit of the material being taught. I also recognize the importance of listening and understanding the student's learning style in order to most effectively and efficiently obtain the desired learning outcome.
I am an accountant by occupation, and my tutoring experience is primarily as a volunteer, because I love learning and helping others to learn. I gave beginning piano and music theory instruction to a student who went on to become a professional flutist. I also taught beginning piano and music theory ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Following five years of teaching high school Spanish, I continued teaching others by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor and later transitioning into corporate learning and development where I now design and deliver customized training to adults. I've continued to use Spanish as our daughter attended a Spanish Immersion elementary school, during which time we hosted three teaching assistants from Latin America.
In a one-on-one teaching situation, I like to begin with a needs assessment followed by setting up an individualized learning plan with student and parental input. This would include specified milestones and learning objectives. I am patient and organized, and I like to incorporate a variety of teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles. Learning another language can be fun and rewarding given the right circumstances.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught children, high-school students, college students, and most recently, adults. Besides my experience working with people of all ages, I have also worked with many different cultures and skill levels. My exposure to teaching people with such diverse backgrounds has been very rewarding and has given me a more well-rounded teaching style. I am skilled at adjusting lessons to maximize the student's learning. This is especially useful when tutoring because, unlike teaching a large group of students, tutoring allows for more flexibility and custom tailoring of a lesson. This is also what makes tutoring such a useful tool. The personal attention gives students an advantage over others who don't seek the extra help. I am a congenial and creative teacher who is always patient with students. I enjoy helping them succeed.
I am committed to the study of languages as is refl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to interact with people from different backgrounds from children to adults. My experience in Japan as a teacher at three public secondary school was extremely challenging but also exciting and rewarding. I am very friendly, patient and considerate. I emphasize the value of integrity and respect different cultures and people's background. As I believe the culture and society are strongly attached to the language acquisition,I would like to teach the culture of Japan as well to support the language acquisition.
I am a bilingual speaker of Japanese and English. For the past seven years I have been employed as an English High School teacher in Tokyo, grades seven through nine, and I have found this experience to be not only challenging and exciting, but also extremely rewarding. Since I have relocated here in Minnesota permanently, I am now teaching my native language Japanese. ... read more
