Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gilead, NE

The study of language has played a major role in my life since I was young, when I pieced together bits of Spanish from the native speakers in my extended family, and then through high school where I studied Spanish more intensely. In college, I turned my focus to Classics. Study of Latin and Greek at the University has strongly reinforced my understanding of not only grammar but literature, philosophy, and culture. I have been tutoring Latin for two years, with 8 years of experience tutoring language and teaching guitar lessons. I have also completed UNL's NCAA training program for tutoring Student Athletes, certifying in Scientific Greek and Latin. Next year, I will begin the Classics PhD program at University of Wisconsin. Latin is notorious in the modern world for being considered dry and irrelevant, but I like to take a more modern approach, influenced by my study of Spanish. I bel

I have been tutoring and teaching since my Sophomore year in high school. At that time I was teaching English as a second language to a few foreigners who were visiting my school. Since that time, I've gone on to teach elementary level through high school children/teens in various subjects with the boys and girls clubs of america. I make sure that when I teach, I prep each lesson for that individual person. No one learning plan can teach every single person, so I hand-tailor things for each student.

I have my Nebraska Initial Teaching Certificate for 7-12 Language Arts. Within my Bachelor of Science in Education and Human Sciences, I earned my K-12 provisional English as a Second Language endorsement as well as my 7-12 Language Arts endorsement. Starting my college career as an elementary education major and ending it a secondary education major, I have had education related to and experience with teaching students grades 1-12. I currently work with Youth for Christ // Campus Life and I am a certified substitute teacher with Lincoln Public Schools. Subbing now for two years within LPS has given me invaluable experience. My skills in interpersonal communication, classroom management, student interest and motivation, and content comprehension have been refined and strengthened. I believe a well-rounded education is very important which is why I work both in the formal classroom of a

My main experience lies in working with elementary aged children in literacy and religious education programs. However, I received a bachelors degree in political science from DePauw University and a law degree (with honors) from the University of Nebraska, so I have a great deal of educational experience to draw from in teaching students as a tutor. In addition to my educational experience, I also have “real world” business experience and excellent research and writing skills through working as an attorney, all of which I will also draw from while tutoring. I enjoy working with students of all ages. I strive to encourage students to develop a love for learning and the ability to learn independently. Each person has a different learning style so I like to allow students to take an active role in designing the method in which they will best learn the material. The best activities requir

After teaching 2 years at a large public High School, I spent 5 years as a Research Chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. This experience gives me a practical understanding of research and science that I could not have achieved had I limited my career to teaching alone. For the past year I have been teaching at the LPS Science Focus Program where I have greatly diversified my experience. While in teachers college I decided to pursue a degree in Biochemistry to strengthen my content knowledge. Having a science degree in addition to a teaching degree is a definite advantage. Good teaching requires knowing both where a student is currently and where they need to go next. It is important to understand that each student may take a slightly different path in getting from "here" to "there." My goal is to focus on the strengths and find ways to overcome the weaknesses.

I am passionate about helping children engage in education. My previous experience of organizing summer tennis camps and coaching has provided me with this passion. Coaching children and watching them improve has set the foundation for me to understand different techniques necessary to keep children motivated while continually striving for improvements. Through my direct college education, tennis coaching license, and tutoring international students has given me the tools to teach groups of distinct diversity. I am confident that my college education at the University of Nebraska, interpersonal skills, direct work experience and passion for education and further learning make me a great candidate for this exciting opportunity. I am a former student-athlete at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was a member of the Husker Tennis team. During those five years I tutored English to a

Before my selection in the Fulbright Program to come to teach Arabic here at UNL, I was teaching French and English for high school students until I got my Bachelor's degree in 2008. With the Fulbright program, I went through various workshops on teaching skills. I learned crucial teaching techniques that have been impacting my career as well as my students'. I am currently a Teaching Assistant at UNL working at the Department of Classics & Religious Studies and pursuing my Masters' Degree at the History department. I still recall the early days when I was wrestling with foreign languages. Our French teacher had a positive impact on my teaching skills in that each time she made me feel that I need to put myself in the student's place to get the message across. Trying to come up with different examples to convey the same message. Most importantly, learning a foreign language needs patienc

For the past seven years I have been tutoring all levels of English and ESL both privately and at Fullerton College in California, where I received my CRLA Master Tutor certification and compiled an extensive workbook explaining concepts of English grammar. During my time as a tutor, I have learned to adapt to different learning styles, and have worked with students of all levels including those with disabilities. My background in American Studies has been a valuable asset to my tutoring because the discipline requires rigorous research and analysis. In addition to sharp critical thinking skills, I possess a firm grasp of grammar and mechanics as well as conceptual and organizational tactics, which are the foundation of good composition. As a tutor meeting a student for the first time, I feel it is best to create a common bond with a friendly approach, getting to know the tutee’s specifi

My teaching style varies with skill level. Some children need reinforcement schedules while others just need help puting their foot in the right direction. I let my students know that learning is a team effort, instilling that they are not in this alone and that their success is exciting for myself as well. I believe that this approach helps instill a positive outlook on studying and learning, which will help my students succeed without my help later on in life. I graduated with a Biopsychology degree or otherwise known as Behavioral Neuroscience. This degree enabled me to study organic and inorganic chemistry, biology (immunology, biochemistry etc.), math (statistics, calculus) and 1 year of physics. My favorite class, however, was a psychology class called learning and behavior. That class has honed my teaching skills and I enjoyed using those skills while tutoring adolescents in a wid

I am very patient and believe every student can learn. I teach through giving many examples and helping the child learn the concept.

I enjoy seeing expressions of accomplishment when students truly grasp various concepts. I expect and demand "excellence," recognizing that "excellence" is a term relative to the student. It seems to me that students retain information most successfully when it has been presented so as to be personally relevant, so I attempt to tailor examples to the student's background. Most of my experience has been as an engineer. I have worked on projects in Europe, Asia, and all over North America. I got involved tutoring high school students while my sons were in high school. Recently, I completed an MA in Education, and taught science and math for about a year and a half in a couple of Louisiana High Schools. I have a broad background for providing real-world examples of implementations of math and science.

I am a retired Elementary teacher. I taught most of my 30 years working with Kindergartners, First and Second graders, but I have substitute taught grades K through 8th. Throughout my years of teaching I have acquired many techniques/skills that help students learn reading skills in a variety of ways. I like to find particular strengths of my students and use those to make their learning a successful and enjoyable experience! I love incorporating my student's writing and creativity into their reading work, also. I have an easy-going nature and a true love of helping my students discover their potential, develop confidence in themselves, and become lifelong learners. Teaching has always been a true joy in my life and I feel that all students can find success, given encouragement and positive learning experiences!
