Experienced, university-quality instruction at low rates

I recently completed my Master's degree in Portuguese at Brigham Young University. As part of my Master's program, I taught beginning and intermediate Portuguese for five semesters to classes both small and large. My studies included not only language and linguistics but also culture and history of both Portugal and Brazil. I have experience in teaching reading comprehension and writing as well as speaking, and am familiar with ACTFL guidelines for oral proficiency. I also have experience specifically in teaching Portuguese to speakers of other language, and I also speak Spanish and some French. In addition to my ability with Portuguese I have experience in both academic and creative writing with five published works including one for national publication, in addition to another that has been accepted for presentation at a conference this fall.
I prefer face-to-face interaction, as ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 that I decided to go to a tutor. With the extra great help and assistance I was able to catch up to most students in my class and continued to excel throughout grade school. Because of this learning disability, throughout most of my life I have been driven and passionate to work with children that may have the same problems that I had as a child. I worked as a volunteer with children that had literacy problems, worked as an assistant teacher with children that have a difficult time keeping up with the class.
I thoroughly enjoy working with students in any learning atmosphere. I have learned through years of working in both, a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While I have taught in various ways and capacities throughout my life, I have always enjoyed most teaching one-on-one. As an undergraduate Spanish minor I tutored fellow undergraduates learning Spanish. As a graduate student I worked as a political science teaching assistant and taught my own classes in American and ethnic literature and culture. As an assistant professor of Ethnic and Mexican American Studies at St. Cloud State University and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities I taught various classes on American culture, history, and literature. I always enjoyed the individual interaction with students and believe some of my best teaching was achieved working with students individually.
First and foremost I believe in teaching/tutoring from where the student is when I meet her or him. This is because if I don't appreciate and understand what the student knows, I can't real ... read more

Read More About Bonnie M...

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, with varying learning skills. I believe education is best provided in an environment that challenges the student, and encourages growth. My ability to assist students in retention, is accomplished by helping him/her to understand underlying principles, often through examples, discovery, and comparisons. Academic progress can be gained by genuinely connecting with students. It is my goal to allow students to expand their intellectual horizons, within prescribed educational parameters, in a way that helps them reduce their personal learning curve, and advance their confidence in the subject matter. Education can be very exciting and rewarding, given the right approach.
I am waiting to receive my BS diploma, after completing a course of study in Digital Media, which also included tutoring students, note taking for special needs students, and stud ... read more
