Highly motivated, intuitive, and results-focused tutor

If you were to ask my students and co-workers to describe me and my work, you would hear things like: “extremely fast worker, high standards for quality, dependable and always meets deadlines, very easy to work with, eager to help you succeed, a positive, entertaining and enjoyable person to be around.” I am consistently inspired to learn new skills related to creativity.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although my experience as a teacher appears brief, I feel I have the knowledge in my subject to help students learn and enjoy science. I taught for one year as a High school Biology teacher at Bonner Springs Ks. I also taught as a Title 1 Teacher at Edwardsville Elementary in Kansas City. My wife and I moved here the summer of '10 for her OBGYN residency. I am currently working as a Software Analyst for MSB here in Wauwatosa WI.
Teaching is an art that requires two things: Passion and Preparation. A teacher, regardless of his/her subject of interest, should be passionate about his/her profession as well as organized and skilled in the art of teaching. I intend to nurture both of these characteristics before I set foot in a classroom for the first time and for all of my remaining years as a teacher. Teaching, in my mind, is about making a difference in the lives of others. My goa ... read more

I believe the best way for students to learn is by doing and discovering the material hands on as oppose to being lectured to. I like to instruct demonstrate the learning material to my students intially, but after that i prefer to have my students try the material themselves so they can see and understand what aspects of the material they dont understand. That helps me pinpoint what i need to focus on as far as helping them with a particular area of miscomprehension. I strongly believe in learning by doing instead of learning by seeing. I am fully aware that everyone learns in their own way so i am flexible in my teaching methods.
I developed my passion for teaching others from a a pre-college program I was in called Upward Bound. I learned study skills, time management and other skills that helped me excel in college. After college graduation,i obtained a tutoring position with t ... read more

As an instructor, I believe it is my responsibility to help students develop as complete, well-rounded persons. This means insuring not only that the students learn the knowledge contained in the course syllabus, but also how to think critically, to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, to make thoughtful and ethical life choices and to be a responsible citizen. My method of reaching these goals is student-centered with interactive instruction and supported with the appropriate use of technology.
I taught Constitutional Law and American Politics at Marquette University, and tax law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I have also taught at IRS and KPMG programs, as well as at numerous seminars for state and local bar associations, voluntary legal associations, and the UW-Extension. I have taken courses on elem ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experiences in schools, hospitals and business provide me with the diversity to instruct students in subjects, such as math, general science, biology, business concepts and English grammar. My educational preparation, BA in biology and MBA, has given me the background knowledge in science and business. In addition, I have a MA degree in teaching which has provided me with advanced instructional skills and techniques.

I am an Alverno graduate, where I obtained a Bachelors Degree in Biology. Alverno College has given me the necessary skills and attributes to be successful in my chosen career field. Alverno has an ability based curriculum, which has taught me to effectively communicate with others. Analyze situations through my experience, training and reasoning. While effectively working well with others to problem solves different situations. Next fall I plan on applying to UWM for the Masters in Microbiology program for a goal in teaching.
I believe in helping the person to understand what they are learning not just remembering for a test. When I was a student at Alverno I made an a concsious effort to make sense of the material at had not just to know it.

I am a strong believer that children learn in various ways. School is not a place where children should be lectured to all day. As teachers, it is our job to find new and innovative ways to reach children on all levels and address their unique learning styles. The classroom should be an active and engaging environment, not one filled with hours of worksheets.
I have spent the past nine years of my life working with children in one form or another. I have worked for my cities parks and recreation program for nine years and have been an educator for the past 2 years. I currently teach 5th grade at Harambee Community School in Milwaukee and am attending Concordia University to obtain my masters in Administrative Leadership, which will allow me to receive my principal and director of instruction licesures. I am dedicated to improving myself in order to learn how to teach children ... read more

I have worked with the Milwaukee Public Schools since January 2007 as a Paraprofessional Educational Assistant. I assist students with challenging subjects as needed. Previous to working in the Milwaukee Public Schools District, I worked at the UW-Milwaukee Children’s Center as a teacher in a kindergarten classroom. I instructed students on reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Through my courses at UW-Milwaukee, I have been placed in many field placements. In these field placements, I planned and implemented lesson plans.
I believe that every child can learn and be successful. Students all do not learn the same as the teacher, you need to change how you teach and present materials to get the attention of all of the learners in the classroom. I believe that students need to feel safe in order to be successful in their learning environment.

To me education is a way of life. My academic career has been driven by a thirst for knowledge. I have earned a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, during which my math, physics, biology, engineering (mechanical and electrical), and other science skills were cultivated. Afterward, I spent another year pursuing a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering, which further strengthened those skills. During this program I was contracted to teach biomedical computer science for sophomore level students. With higher academic hopes, I left the M.S. program, to complete a Ph.D. in Biophysics with an emphasis on MRI physics. My multi-disciplinary doctoral training had a heavy emphasis on math, physics, and biologic sciences. The doctoral training greatly increased my reading comprehension and vocabulary, as well as, strengthened my grammar and writing skills, which were needed to produce scientific publicat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I pursued a double-major in piano performance and biology during college years. Even though the academic work load was extremely overwhelming, I taught tutoring sessions to other college students simply because I loved making difference in other people's lives. Due to studying piano for over 20 years, I developed a certain dedication that one should have in order to succeed in academia, and I wanted to share that with other students. I have spent many tutoring hours with high school students that are experiencing difficulties in Science and Math. I worked with college athletes that struggled to find time to study due to their busy schedule of practicing and going to school. With college students, I focused on Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Physiology.
My teaching background is mainly based on teaching piano to all age groups for the past 7 years. Teaching music to someone has req ... read more

Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own words what they are trying to say. When they speak aloud, the words flow, and then I say, "There is your opening sentence right there. Quick! Write it down." At other times, I ask them to pretend that they are really someone else, an actor in a television show, for example, and I have them imagine that the character, not they themselves, are speaking. This releases the student to let go of inhibitions and let the film roll "for the character" and then they stop focusing on themselves.
As a lifelong lover of literature and writing, I have taught students from fifth grade through junior level college literature and writing courses. My MA and Ph ... read more
