Spanish, Math and Reading tutor.

I have tutored on and off for the past 12 years. I have tutored people from 5th grade to age 50. I have much experience tutoring any type of math up to Algebra II. I have also tutored in Spanish on numerous occasions. I have lived in Mexico and Costa Rica which has really made my Spanish skills solid.
I prefer one on one or a small group no larger than five. I am patient and appreciate questions the student has so that I may better serve them.

Multi-subject tutoring for all ages. Guaranteed succes!

I hold a bachelors degree in economics from Purdue University. While in school I tutored at the elementary, intermediate, secondary, and university level. I have tutored in a broad range of subjects from elementary phonics to college prep exams such as the ACT and SAT. I guarantee success and/or improvement or your money back.
A pre-tutor analysis will be conducted to determine the skill level. Each session will be tailored to fit the student. No two people learn the same, and I understand that.

A Little Bit About Me...

The opportunity presented on your institutions website is very appealing to me, and I believe that I possess the desired qualifications that will allow me to be successful at your institution. Your posting stated that there is a requirement of a Masters degree in a related field; currently I possess a Master’s of Science in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin Madison. I also have related teaching experience at the University level. I was a Teaching Assistant in the Zoology department at the University of Wisconsin Madison and most recently was a Biology lecturer at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater. In addition, I have nonacademic teaching experience functioning as a Tennis coach at MATC and Edgewood College.
My philosophy towards education is guided by a strong desire to influence student learning and to compliment their knowledge of Biology with everyday application. I ... read more

I have recently graduated from Sun Prairie High School with a 3.95 and will be attending the University of Madison next year. I have taken Advanced Placement English this year and have recieved superior grades in that class. During the last 2 years I have tutored regular and special education students in English and Math
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn if they are taught in a safe environment with a teacher that is willing to connect individually with the student. I am ready and willing to do whatever I can for the students I tutor and set them up on the path for success.

Science is a process by which we learn, not simply a body of knowledge to memorize. My approach to teaching biological and chemical sciences is two-pronged: to help students acquire the knowledge base necessary for understanding science, and to instill critical thinking skills through the scientific method of inquiry. I love to help students see the big picture of how various aspects of science fit together and to make connections between what they are learning and their own lives. It is these connections that spark interest and memory. When possible I prefer to incorporate a variety of active learning exercises, which can be very helpful to solidify difficult concepts and work well with many learning styles.
Attending a small liberal arts school sparked my desire to teach students in a small group setting. While my graduate course work in Biomolecular Chemistry developed my ... read more

I enjoy helping students work through tough problems by allowing them to make mistakes and then rework the problem a couple of times the correct way. Since this is my area of expertise, I am able to come up with examples on the fly that will target the areas most troublesome to the student. Mathematics is a field that requires repetition but making that repetition as interesting as possible is a fun challenge. I do not wish to be a teacher by profession but I do enjoy helping individuals or small groups with science and mathematics.
I have formally tutored with Madison College on two occasions lasting a year. I was also Tutoring throughout my time at Edgewood on a drop in basis with any students that came to the math department and could not reach a professor. I have a BS in Mathematics and doing math at all levels is fun for me.

Cumulatively, including extended substitute teaching situations, I have taught all grade levels 1-12 in various subjects. I would describe my teaching style as ecclectic. By this I mean that I discern which style or strategy would best accomdodate the needs of the particular child, based on their learning style. Once the child's learning style is distinguished, I would tailor my lessons/tutoring to that particular style.
Throughout college, I consistently worked as a tutor or mentor, specifically with minority populations. Upon graduation, I joined Teach for America and taught high school English in rural North Carolina. Since my tenure in TFA, I have taught English to students in Mexico, substitue taught for 2 years at a Waldorf school in La Crosse, WI, and currently tutor and mentor students as I attend graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering. I have taken extensive courses in math and science. Math and science are fields that I love and excel at. While in undergrad I was active in many student organizations and volunteer opportunities. I volunteered at science olympiad for a year and also tutored middle school students. I have many younger siblings, all of whom I have helped with homework on several occasions.
There is no better moment that when a child becomes engaged and starts understanding and asking questions. Once a child starts asking questions you know that they are excited about it and want to learn. When teaching my goal is always to get children excited about what they are doing and then proceed from there. All children have different strengths and I try to work from those strengths.

In my Masters in Teaching program we are learning about differentiation and working to find the best vehicle by which to present information to students. For example, if a student has a talent and passion for music, perhaps setting some of their social studies and science materials to song will help them better absorb the information. Also, the best way to create connections in students minds is to have them learn and then create something representing their learning. Perhaps they learn about an era of history and then they act out a scene that may have happened, or they visually represent a science concept. I also am a very organized person with good study habits that I can model for your student and help them put into practice.
I am currently in school for my Masters in Teaching. At the completion of my program, I will be certified to teach grades one through eight. I have sp ... read more

I like to make learning fun for children! I think that all children have the ability to be successful learners and that it is the responsibility of their educators to understand what motivates them and to help them discover how they learn best. That is why it is imperative that educators are creative and be familiar with the multiple intelligences exhibited by different children. I also believe that good tutoring can lead to successful performance in the classroom which can, in turn, improve a student's self confidence and aid in their development of a joy for learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with individuals of all ages. I believe that someone who is passionate about their field of work transmits that passion to others. I seek the opportunity to help a child grasp their learning potential and to help them display academic sucess. I am patient, a good listener, and I have the ability to explain the same concept in many different ways. I have also had the opportunity to grasp the attention of a student whom everyone considered troublesome, that student needed time and patience, and I gladly gave it to him. I believe that when we teach, we also grow in our own knowledge.

I primarily teach through activities and ideas suited to meet each individual's need. Through the interpersonal contact and motivation I provide, I feel that I help the student to desire to improve their knowledge and perform better. Depending on the student, I can be an enthusiastic or a calm teacher. By taking courses such as child psychology, I am able to understand which teaching methods and interaction styles work best for each person. I think the best method of teaching is doing practice problems and hands-on work as well as addressing problems expressed by each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

Growing up knowing that knowledge is power, it seemed as though anything was achievable. But as I began learning, I wondered why some things came easier to others and why some kids needed more type, and with this I began to investigate, I have learned different ways of conveying the same information in different styles. Everyone has the potential to learn information, it just depeneds on how they learn, and if everyone could be educated the difference in education with dramatically increase the world and peoples lifestyle would improve. Making an positive impact on the next generation, is the most important idea that can move our world forward.

Having my bachelor degree in English and Philosophy, I have been given a unique understanding towards how to ask questions to make people think about the material they're reading, and what questions the material is trying to ask. Supporting this is my background as a writing center assistant at college which not only offered me the chance to improve my own work, but, also to learn how to guide frustrated students without giving in to the temptation to do the work for them. During this past year, I have worked with second and third generation Chinese children, teaching English, math, art and science on a first grade level.
