More About This Tutor...

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 FUN into each session to keep spirits high and learning at a maximum!
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 Engli ... read more

I have had a variety of work experiences in the past ranging from resident assistant, teacher, counselor, and multicultural tutor. These experiences have lead to the building of invaluable skills such as organization, prioritizing, adapting quickly to challenges and changing environments, and strong self-management skills. Effective communication and interpersonal skills were needed to succeed in each of these endeavors as well. While working in these different roles I was able to exhibit my natural leadership, creativity and problem solving skills. They were rewarding experiences that required my enthusiasm and dedication.
I am an industrious and creative teaching professional with the ability to teach, motivate, and instill a love of learning in others. I feel the desire to make the most of every moment to ensure these students get the most from the experience. I plan a variety o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have homeschooled my son, who has ADHD and doesn't take medication, from Kindergarted to 6th grade. He is now in school and is a virtually an A student. I can teach just about any subject, even subjects I do not have an education in, for example, the last two years, my son had a desire to learn Latin, so I taught him Latin as I learned it myself. I really enjoy awakening a child's passion for reading and writing. I enjoy teaching kids who are have different learning styles.
I beleive that all students have a unique learning style, and that a good teacher can figure out how to reach a student. If a student does not understand a subject or concept, I employ different methods (visual, hands-on, abstract, manipulatives) etc. I am extremly patient, and don't believe that students are smart or dumb, I believe all students can learn equally well,if their strengths are tapped.

I do believe that all children learn differently and my FIRST goal is to find out how that child learns best and go around the child's needs---not expecting the child to learn how I teach and limit that child. Because of my experiences in the past, I've had great opportunities of working with Special Needs children of which is a grea example of finding the way the child learns best. I love teaching children and I love learning along with them as well. I love HANDS-ON learning, allowing the child(ren) to explore in order to learn about the subjects and about themselves as well. I know I've made a difference in children's lives in the past and plan on continuing this in the future (every day I have this opportuniy with my own 4 children )!!
As an Elem. Education teacher...I've have grea opportunities to work in a variety of settings and work with many families and their children. ... read more
