I am currently a graduate student in Political Science at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. I have taught a public speaking course to undergraduate students at Purdue for the past year. I also have experience working with younger children and with special needs students. I have a B.A. in Political Science and Classical Studies from Drew University in Madison, NJ, and I worked for some time as a director and dramaturge in the New York/New Jersey area professional theatre community.
My public speaking class is extremely participatory, both so students can gain experience speaking in front of an audience and because this format seems to keep students more interested in the material. My experience teaching children in theatre was also very participatory. I believe that students learn best when they can understand a given concept from several different angles. I also believe that ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Purdue University grad, I have firm foundation in the following subjects: Calculus (I, II, & III), General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering--(Heat/Mass, Fluids, etc.), Physics (Mechanics and Electricity/Magnetism), Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I also completed a minor in Spanish and am able to read, write, and speak the language fluently. Likewise, I took both Anatomy & Physiology courses (along with Intro Bio). I have tutored students in all of the subjects mentioned above for Purdue student athletes and other students.
I have a passion for teaching. I TA'd an intro to Bio course and have experience tutoring many students for well over seven years. I am still a student myself, so I understand the value of tutoring. I am a life-long learner, and I always strive to provide the student I am tutoring (both and young and o ... read more

As a Ball State University MBA student, I am very driven to achieve a high level of success in all areas of life, especially education. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and in Financial Analysis, which has enabled me to gain an outstanding understanding of math and business concepts. I have developed excellent communication skills in writing and orally. I was the president of the business fraternity Beta Alpha Psi and gained much experience in leading and developing individuals in that position.
I sincerely enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe that all children have the ability and want to learn, but each are unique and it takes getting to know the child and what strategies will engage them and work best. I love to see people succeed and am willing to go to any measure to help children achieve success education-wise and in life. It is imp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate assistant, I was effective at assisting students in understanding complex material in Speech Communications. My focus is always on the student, attempting to understand how that particular individual learns. Once I have an understanding of a person's learning style, I then hone in to help the student progress in the area of study. Through writing research papers, business plans, markerting plans, websites, I have developed advanced grammatical skills.
I love assisting children and young adults and seeing them advance in their learning skills. Your child's success is my primary objective. Helping them understand how they learn and developing their own learning style is the goal. There is not a child who cannot learn given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I will make a difference in the lives of the children with whom I work.

Students learn better when they see the relevance of the material they are studying to their own lives. In many subject areas this relevance is not obvious, and students may tune out as a result. I always use concrete examples that students can relate to when explaining a concept. For example, when discussing paternalism with college students I will often cite government regulation of tobacco and alcohol use to illustrate how the concept translates into laws that directly affect them. I am easy going and use humor to put my students at ease and hold their interest.
I have four years experience as an Associate Instructor of Political Science and Political Philosophy at the college level. In this capacity I frequently tutored students individually, helping them to grasp complicated concepts. Many students struggled more with the basics of term paper writing than the material itsel ... read more

More About This Tutor...

By working in a wide variety of fields, from film production to politics, I have a breadth of knowledge from working with many different types of students. I was once a student being tutored for the GRE, so I have been on each side of the desk. For two years I taught workshops on public speaking and speech writing. Before that I earned my Bachelor's degree in Writing, and had to do so through intimate writing workshops understanding the import of one-on-one teacher-student interaction. I am a writer, I write every day, and teaching is the dedication to other writers; I have that dedication.
Teaching is the solemn devotion to a writer's voice. I believe in inspiring young students to write from their hearts, with a keen interest in being grammatically correct. My goal is to empower students to achieve in the classroom, in test-taking, in their every day lives. Patience and understan ... read more
