25 years of professional experience, as writer, editor, and marketing communications, along with significant coursework in English language and literature provide solid background. Much of my professional life includes developing and encouraging creative people, both those whom I managed (writers, designers) as well as those who I collaborated with in varied communications projects.

My comments on tutoring Grammar : When I was in high school, English grammar was one of my best topics

I prefer the style of patience and hands on. No computers, no spell check. the only way to learn is to do it yourself.
I have tutored adults for free when they have needed a good eye to evaluate their work. Many adults can not spell and have trouble building a basic sentence. I am good at proofreading and helping the thoughts to flow better. I ask a lot of questions in order to help the student understand the thought process.

Found my passion in teaching - let me help your child!

I am a third year student studying for an Elementary Education degree through DmACC and Iowa State. I have just completed a year of Elementary Educator math courses. I have also have a degree in Practical Nursing and Limited Radiology Technology. I decided to go back to school to become an Elementary Teacher after being a nurse for several years and also ran a daycare out of my home when my kids were small. I currently work part-time as a Teacher's Associate at Ankeny Community Schools. I am looking to tutor during the summer months and possibly throughout the school year.

More About This Tutor...

Since graduating from college, I have been instructing professionals and employees in safety behavior and safety management processes. I have learned extensive grammatical skills in the military, during my assignment as an inspector on the Inspector General (IG) team. I performed proof reading and report writing for two years. My parents were elementary and algebra teachers. There were numerous occasions I assisted them with correcting tests during my high school years. My best accomplishments have been tutoring my four children in their subjects, primarily math, over the last five years.
I have always been successful at teaching children to understand and believe that they can learn anything from hitting a baseball to doing algebra. Each child learns differently, as I have learned from my own children. Starting slowly and building on the fundamentals will open the child's eye ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

At Amherst College, we were encouraged to pursue a wide variety of subjects in addition to our major. I studied math for several years, some Biology, Latin and Greek. I had a semester of graduate school at Iowa in Classics. At Tulane, I studied advanced statistics as well as marketing. I had two years of Spanish at DMACC. I also studied Bosnian and German at DMPS Continuing Education. For all standardized tests, I always scored in the top 1% including the PSAT, SAT, ACT and GMAT. I have been tutoring students in Spanish, English Literature, Chemistry, Math and Government.
I really enjoy getting people of all ages to learn. My day job is with Easter Seals where I work with all ages and disabilities. With both Easter Seals and tutoring, I found that it requires a wide variety of approaches to get my clients to learn. I have learned a lot of patience and creativity in this time. I hav ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I've always loved interacting and working with children (through nannying, volunteering, and tutoring) but after finishing my master's degree I believe it is even more important to give children the right tools for learning early on so that they have a real chance for success in life. I believe each child has strengths and weaknesses and that both positive reinforcement and constructive feedback are necessary for success. I am easy to relate to, kind, and give students the time they need to think through what they are doing. I believe in offering guidance and support but ultimately letting students work things out for themselves--this gives them a sense of accomplishment and ensures they will be able to complete the same task in the future.
I have always had a passion for literacy and working with children. After graduating summa cum laude with a B.A. in English, I began working at ... read more

I am a patient teacher who strives to identify goals and help learners achieve those goals. People learn in different ways, and I have background experience in determining what works best and applying those methods. A teacher's positive, encouraging attitude is key to learning success.

I taught all English curriculum courses over time, with a focus on composition, speech communication, American & British Literature, and World Literature. In addition I directed plays and coached students for speech contests.

More About This Tutor...

As an Iowa State graduate, I was very driven to not only achieve a great education but to actually learn the material set forth by my professors. At Iowa State I started with as a sociology major but throughout my career I was able to find additional interests and ended my tenure at Iowa State with a degree in Sociology and Political Science, with minors in Criminal Justice and Philosophy. Throughout these studies I have learned that basic logic can get around many of the learning impediments that individuals have. By getting on the same page with your students I believe that you are better able to relay the information to them in a way that they better understand. In my year of tutoring I have tutored students in Math, Sociology, Political Science, English and Philosophy.
I enjoy teaching with individuals of all ages. I believe that every person should learn something new everyd ... read more

I am patient, easy going and considerate. I understand that students learn in different ways, so I try to adapt my style accordingly. For example, perhaps one student learns best from oral instruction, while another prefers hands-on experience. My goal is to shape my teaching approach to best fit the needs of the student.
I have an extensive background in the mass communications field. My formal education includes a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's degeee in mass communications, both from Drake University in Des Moines. Professionally, I have written for daily newspapers and for the public relations and marketing efforts of major Iowa corporations.

More About This Tutor...

The majority of my teaching and tutoring experience has been in English and Math. During college, I worked in the on-campus tutoring center for 4 years, focusing primarily on Math. After graduating, I spent 4 years in China teaching English and training others to teach English as a Foreign Language. I also took on a number of private English tutoring jobs during those years, including several helping students prepare for the essay portion of the SAT exam. After returning to the States, I worked as a substitute teacher at the middle and high school level, filling in for whatever subject was needed. I currently read and score essays for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam.
I like working one-on-one with students, helping them to identify what they already know about a subject or topic and then logically building that up, step-by-step, into what they need to kn ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching philosophy mirrors my learning philosophy. I believe in using a variety of methods and media to reach students on a level they can understand. Knowing that not all students learn in the same way necessitates an understanding of individual facilitation as well as group facilitation. I believe in creating an environment that creates curiosity and engagement that will result in long-term learning outcomes. Like Freire, I subscribe to the idea that one must know the word in order to know the world; and one must know the world in order to create meaningful change (Freire, 1970).
