Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Des Moines, IA

I like to begin by ascertaining the level of the student. Learning is best achieved when the student actively takes part, remains focused, engages in dialogue about the material. If teaching a group I enjoy 'interactive lecture/presentation' and group discussion. I employ a variety of mediums (depending on the subject matter to help communicate material. Regarding one on one tutoring, the best method, I believe, is to work with the student to identify what are the concepts that they struggle with and explain/demonstrate these concepts from a variety of different perspectives.

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. 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 will reiterate whatever the student is struggling with until they really understand. I am very patient and fun! School has been the most important structure in my life since I was a kid. My parents taught me that school comes first above anything else. I took their statement very seriously. I earned a 3.9 GPA at my university with Summa Cum Laude honors. I was a dedicated student who wants to help others succeed in school. I am a babysitter, which comes hand in hand with tutoring. I often help the kids with homework when I'm babysitting. I help my old high school speech and debate team. I must be able to constructively criticize the students but make speech and debate fun and challenging. I work well with kids, from elementary school to high school.

As a Senior in High School I spent a semester in Mettmann, Germany. During my stay I helped my host mom, who was also the head English teacher at the school I attended. I assisted her teach 6th and 7th graders and had the opportunity to head the classes on multiple occasions. She also volunteered to teach English to elderly citizens once a week, which I also filled in for her when she had schedule conflicts. It was a terrific experience which demanded constant adaptation and patience. After finishing up 4 years of German from Ames High School, I began my studies at ISU. I took 2 or 3 German classes every semester. Classes varied from early 1900's literature to German films. I enjoy a very hands-on approach to teaching where students remain attentive through an energetic and lively approach.

I have over 15 semesters of college courses most in the sciences. I find math and science to come easy to me if I am taught it in the right way and I would love to share that with struggling students out there. I have had experience in big and small schools, accelerated programs as well as normal classrooms so I have been exposed to a variety of learning environments. I love to teach and coach and think it is important to understand that everyone learns and grasps concepts in different ways. I do not have a specific teaching style other than positive because each child requires their own approach.
