Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Deer Creek, MN

I love teaching and kids. I always separate the behavior from the child. The little kids that I tutor at the Boys and Girls Club love me! I am just really good at what I do. When I was teaching, I had a stellar reputation with my students and the community. When students would come back to me from college, they would tell me how easy their college English courses were after having me in class. It was an experience I will always treasure and never forget. I have a master's degree in English plus 21 hours. I taught high school English for 21 years. I now teach online and tutor at the Boys and Girls Club. I have expertise in writing, literature, and grammar. When I was an English teacher I taught English 7 - 12. During those years I taught a total of 21 Shakespearean plays to my five classes. I taught middle school English, American Literature, English Literature, and Advanced Placement cou

I enjoyed working on Calculus problems with students determined to succeed. I believe that tutoring is two-way process: I help my friends better understand Math; they teach me how to be a better teacher. I worked in Ukraine in a private secondary school for five years as a teacher of Russian Language and Literature. When I came to USA I was excited to start my new career path. Although I find myself challenged, acquiring new knowledge is very interesting for me. I have earned a Bachelor degree with majors in Mathematics and Computer Science. While in school, I helped my fellow students with their studies of Calculus and Introductory Chemistry.

I have always had a strong love of English! I enjoyed assisting fellow college students with proofreading and technical writing skills before working as an Advertising Proofreader at the Echo Press in Alexandria, MN. Following that, I completed an internship at the Minneapolis-based magazine Today's Style (no longer in circulation) as a writer. I also volunteered with non-English speaking children through an organization called Hands Across the World (St. Cloud, MN), focusing on age-appropriate English reading and writing skills through 1:1 time as well as group activities. I like to cater each session to the individual's specific learning style- what works for one person may not work for the next! However, I have found the cornerstone of excelling at reading is repetition and the key to understanding the rules of grammar is application. I also feel it's so important to incorporate

My approach to teaching science is to begin by applying the basic principles of biology and chemistry to everyday life. I believe it’s easier to understand these subjects when they are related to human health and current events. I also try to create an environment where students felt comfortable asking questions and open discussions are encouraged. Lastly, I am conscious not to overwhelm students with details and frequently pause to ask the student how the session is going if I feel he/she is not engaged. I have recently received my Ph.D. in biochemistry from the laboratory of Prof. F. Peter Guengerich at Vanderbilt University. I am seeking a teaching position near my family in Minnesota. I was a chemistry tutor in college for two years and I have spent a great deal of time informally teaching in the laboratory in graduate school. In addition to teaching one semester at the local comm
