Math, Science and Computer help

I would love to help all middle and high school students with their math, science and computer subjects. I am also available to assist adults who need to gain or sharpen their computer skills. I am an expert user of Microsoft Office and have experience in teaching computer subjects such as Introduction to Computers, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access at college level. I obtained my BA degree from the University of Pretoria, where I majored in Information Science. I worked as a Paraprofessional in the math and science departments of a high school for the past four years, and have the ability and experience to work with students who struggle with learning and/or behavioral disabilities.

With a BA in English and Minor in Mass Communications, I pursued careers utilizing my writing, editing, and communication talents. Five years in the professional world helped me realize my passion lies in teaching English composition. Thus, I decided to attend graduate school for an MA in English in order to fulfill my passion. During this time, I gained intensive training centered around composition theories and methods, linguistics, written assessments, and rhetoric. In addition to attending full-time graduate school, I was also a graduate teaching assistant responsible for developing and presenting curricula aimed at helping students discern different situations, aims and purposes in writing. I presented 50 plus class sessions per semester to 25 students, ranging in age from 18-62 and originating from seven different countries. While my MA coursework is completed, I am currently wri ... read more

From childhood, "playing" school was a passion! Afforded an excellent education by teachers, mentors, spiritual guides and community leaders - I'm thrilled to meet today's promising learners with the same measure of affirmation. Every child is talented and gifted. The teacher's role is to design a context for success within which problems are resolved, obstacles dismantled, weaknesses strengthened and doors opened for continued enrichment.
In my Senior Honors study, I worked with a group of special needs children. I matched nontraditional learning methods to identify and develop talents and interests. I have taught music privately, for music stores, and taught and assisted with music in public and parochial schools. My teaching Internship was at Robbinsdale High School in art and commercial design. I served as Teaching Assistant to the Dean of Students while earning m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taken more than the amount of credits I need to graduate with a BA in mathematics from Luther College. I have minors in physics and chemistry. I have always enjoyed math. I have assisted an elementary school teacher in tutoring mathematics. I have assisted middle and high school aged children in learning mathematics when they have not attended class or have fallen behind.
When tutoring I usually ask prompting questions to assist the person in working through a problem. By building off of the skills the student already has it helps them better understand the process. If a student is learning new material or does not understand the way something was explained I will try to come up with an alternative method. I will go through an example with them step by step ensuring that they understand what happens along the way. I try to relate problems to real life so that they wi ... read more
