A Little Bit About Me...

I am a senior in high school. I have taken a range of different classes and I am able to help students understand what is being taught. I helped many of my friends get better grades so that can graduate with a better GPA. I have never really solo tutored anyone but I feel that I will be able to help in some sort of way. I have taken many science classes and I did very well in them. Also I did very well in English, social sciences, and history. I have also taken classes up through Accounting 4 and i am pretty good with business classes. I have helped in a Homework help lab and tutored kids having trouble in classes before so i have a little experience with helping students. I got A's or B's in all of my classes so I do know most of the material so i will be able to help students. Also I studied how to teach kids in ways that they will understand because most kids learn in differe ... read more

I believe that each student has strengths and weaknesses and it is my job as a teacher to find these and help students expand on the strengths while overcoming the weaknesses.Each student has a unique learning style so I need to teach things in ways that the student can grasp. I especially love helping students who experience difficulty learning and watching a student light up when he/she finally understands a concept. I believe that learning should not just be an accumulation of facts, but teach people to think through real problems and come up with viable solutions to these problems. By individualizing student instruction all students realize their dreams and succeed in life.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that children all come with different levels of cognition. Therefore, each child has their own learning pace. I like to give a child the time that he needs in order to accomplish his goal in learning. I have patience and am understanding--this would be a great benefit in working with children who need a little extra help in their studies.
I recently graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Development. However, before Human Development was my major, it was English Language. Through my four years at a major university, I have learned how to properly write research essays, what sources are credible for essays, and essay format. I also have had a pet-peeve for words that are incorrecly spelled and when there are grammatical errors in something professionally done.

More About This Tutor...

I must admit that my experience with teaching is limited, however I love to sit down with groups of children and help them to discover new concepts and ways to learn the subject matter. I taught five year olds for two years in Sunday School. Every week was a challenge to help them to pay attention and listen well. Fortunately, through a great deal of patience, perseverance, and consideration for the children I was able to make learning about the scriptures fun. It truly amazed me how much they had learned through the year. Of course, much of the credit should go to their parents, I got them involved as much as possible.
I have worked in the electrical industry for the past seven years, with a two year hiatus to serve as a teaching missionay in Guatemala. I have a passion for learning, such that I earned my BS in Business Management in only three years of study at the Univeris ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I did my internship at Springville High School and Dixon Middle School. At Dixon I was selected to help teach adults about the computer. I have 9 children. I was able to teach each of them. Some of them have gone on to higher education and have scholarships. I still have some at home and enjoy teaching them.
I like the tutoring environment because I like seeing individual progress. It is easier to assess where the child is. I believe that the basics are essential to moving forward in education. Memorization of math facts makes it easier for a child to learn new material because he isn't bogged down. I don't believe enough emphasis is placed on arithmetic in today's schools. Basic arithmetic skills make story problems easier. Types of story problems need to be practiced, not just thrown in at the end of a chapter without much information on how to do it. I am patient and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I know how to help students study and learn. I can teach ways to get important information from notes and textbooks to help students complete assignments and increase test scores. I am very patient and if a student doesn't understand a concept the way I am presenting it, I will try other ways to present it until the student understands. I also desire to increase a student's love of learning. Test scores and grades are important, but becoming interested, even passionate about learning leads to more long-term success and lifelong, self-directed learning.
I homeschooled my 3 children, during which time I developed, planned and taught full curricula over the course of 15 years, each year tailoring the material to the levels and needs of each child. I have taught most subjects from Kindergarten through high school level including math and science of many levels. I am also excellent at q ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I thoroughly enjoy working with students in any learning atmosphere. I have learned through years of working in both, a volunteer and school atmosphere, that each child has different paces and learning styles. What works for one child may be all wrong for another. Through this each child I feel deserves, not only the time and understanding from someone who cares, but also someone who is willing to put in some added effort and time in to making that child feel confident and comfortable learning. I am a very understanding teacher. I am willing to develop different ways to help children to understand and to learn the subject.
When I was younger I had a really tough time with my speech and with my reading/comprehension. I went through school constantly having to work slower and harder than most students in my class. I was so determined to get better at my learning disabilities t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my undergraduate studies at BYU, I taught and tutored in Spanish for up 24 hours each week. I supervised 5 districts of students, 10 teachers and up to 65 students at one time, while still teaching in the classroom. Additionally, I graded papers for college-level business courses for several years. As part of this experience, I provided feedback on writing, grammar, and content. I have now been a TA for more than 30 college business courses. I have finished all pre-medicine science classes with a science GPA of 3.3.
My teaching style is flexible depending upon the needs of my student(s). Some students have disabilities that make drilling or repetition styles of teaching and tutoring difficult and tiresome, while other thrive on it. Others need hands on learning opportunities and problems to work through on their own. Regardless of the student’s need, I am a tenacious ... read more

Every child is different, and each has his/her own unique style of learning. My goal in teaching is always to find out how each child learns best and to cater my teaching to the specific needs of that child. I also believe that children need to feel successful in order to continue learning. In my teaching, I provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere where a child feels capable and confident enough to take some risks when learning something new. Learning should be enjoyable and challenging, but not frustrating. I am sensitive to the feelings of my students and know when to switch gears when a particular method is not proving to be effective. I have a kind and patient demeanor, and I value each student as a special person with many talents and abilities.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education with a minor in ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching. Throughout ... read more
