Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hastings, MN

I have taken courses in almost all the Adobe Suite interfaces. I design t-shirts and use Adobe Products quite a bit. I have excellent communication skills and I have taken the coursework to be a Social Studies Teacher from the University of Wisconsin-Superior. I believe that presenting material that fits one's learning style is a key to success in difficult subjects. Patience and flexibility are 2 attributes I possess and I believe is must in teaching subjects to people who's learning style do not work well with the established regimen. Everyone thinks and processes information in an individual style and I believe in trying to find that style. I am a 56 year old retiree from United Parcel Service, so I come with a maturity and perspective that is unique among educators. I love people and helping them succeed at whatever they attempt in life. After all we are all in this together. A

As an instructor at Minnesota School of Business, I taught composition, business writing, technical writing, English grammar, and communication theory to adult students of all ages and a wide variety of backgrounds, including many ESL students. In a class of 20 students, writing ability ranged from negligible to excellent, so it was a challenge to keep all of them interested and to ensure improvement across the board. Since leaving MSB, I have tutored several ESL students in writing and grammar, mostly online. I continue to write and edit professionally. I prefer a casual learning environment, one that includes appropriate humor and an appreciation for students' individuality. My most rewarding experiences as a teacher were when students who came into the class with an "I hate writing" attitude learned to use language to express themselves -- and had fun doing it. Many students told me,

In addition, I am a highly energetic and enthusiastic individual trying to provide the best education and care to childrens. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I firmly believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I would like to utilize my lively and energetic attitude in teaching student with great enthusiasm.I would also like to lead students and to participate in doing constructive programs.

I believe in meeting each child at his/her current skill level and building confidence and concepts from there. Each student has his/her own strengths and weaknesses, and learns at his/her own pace. Rather than expecting all students to understand a concept using one teaching style, I teach a lesson using multiple modalities followed by step-by-step tasks which reward successive approximations to a concept. The students who catch on quickly can use the time to build on their skills and expand upon the concepts, while I work more closely with students struggling with the concepts presented. I do this because I care, and believe academic success and personal confidence are key to life success. Ten years ago, at just 14, I knew I had a calling to help others reach full potential in all aspects of their lives, and did something about it. At that time, I implemented a scheduled and drop-in tu

I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin River Falls with a BS in Marketing Communications. My minor area of study while at River Falls was Psychology, and over the course of my college career, my interest in the topic has developed into a career goal. I plan to return to UW River Falls this Fall to earn a Mater's degree in School Psychology. For the past six years I have taught and coached Swimming and Diving lessons to children ages 4-16. I have also tutored Junior High students in English. I believe that every child has the ability to be a successful learner, and I enjoy watching my students grow and improve at different paces. My goal is to make each child feel comfortable in their learning environment, while challenging each student according to their level of ability. I respond well to students who become easily frustrated, and adjust my teaching style accordingly. It

When in undergraduate school for physics I acted as a tutor for portions of my junior and senior years. I tutored students in general physics I & II, as well as calculus I & II. I would work with a particular student on a one on one basis to address specific questions that they might have on the subject matter. I very much enjoy education and working with children/young adults. Teaching is something that can and should be performed in different ways depending on the student. Everybody has their own unique learning style. I believe in visual learning and working through example problems to help develop better understanding. I feel that through a hands on approach students can and will meet their potential.

I primarily use a question-and-answer technique. I am very adept at identifying when a student's understanding of a subject is not where it should be. I'm also an expert in using examples to explain a point. Especially when explaining technical things I can use non-technical examples to offer enlightenment. For example, while helping one of my sons learn college calculus I related first differentials to a police officer detecting speeders. I also have many years of experience and can provide examples for many learning experiences from my own background. I have a Bachelor's degree in engineering as well as an MBA. Both degrees were achieved with very high GPAS. I have a vocational teaching certificate from the State of Minnesota and have taught computer programming in vocational school. I've also spent many years as a project manager. In that position I was responsible for de

I love to learn and help others do the same, whether it is helping a high school dropout pursue and finish their GED or teaching and mentoring children and young adults in volunteer settings; I love to teach, but more importantly, I enjoy trying to find the best way or creative ways to help others learn, understand and grow as people. My teaching style would be described by others as friendly, firm and yet very creative but thorough. As a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas, I have an English degree and am a few classes/credits short of a Business Administration degree. At Bethel University I pursued a Secondary Education teaching certificate. Seeing an opportunity to teach high school english in Texas, I pursued teaching and volunteer teaching while living and working in Texas.

I have extensive experience in teach chemistry to students. In the past while at the University of Wyoming I had extensive one on one tutoring sessions with both college students and HS students (AP students). I have also tutored in math, and physics in the past also. First, I love helping people learn. I strive to show students and people that chemistry, math and science is all about a thought process and is something that everyone can learn. Teaching sciences is about helping and showing students how to approach the problems, and problem solve not to just solve problems individually. I also believe in using and finding many methods/examples to find how the student learns best.

I am not a 'stand and lecture' type of teacher. Students learn best by trying math skills by themselves or working with other students. I use web math applets frequently and math video clips which appeals to the digital-native students of today. This year I taught math at Community of Peace Charter school in St. Paul, MN. I taught 3 sections of 8th grade math to a very diverse student population. Approximately 25% of the students receive ESL services outside of the math class, therefore I learned the difficulties that these students have with math vocab and context situations. I dealt with the broad range of math skills by running a math workshop model during the classroom blocks. This was very successful and was well liked by the students.

Education has to be interactive to be effective. I try to apply a Socratic approach when I work with students - to not provide answers but to draw out answers from the student by directed questioning. In the areas that I am competent in (physics into the undergraduate levels, and mathematics through the calculus level), I believe that understanding principles is what enables success. These fields require the development of physical and numerical intuition and pure memorization of facts is rarely successful. Such intuition is acquired through problem solving in conjunction with discussion of the topic. As a grad student I did a great deal of lab teaching and physics tutoring as part of my teaching assistantship. I also taught a semester of undergraduate astronomy at both the University of St. Thomas and at Normandale Community College near the end of my graduate school years. I own

I have a very modifiable style of teaching, meaning I cater to the student or students. I quickly learn the curriculum and can find multiple ways to teach it. This allows me to utilize the students major styles of learning and develop the areas where they may struggle. Teaching this way helps mold a complete student who is able to understand themselves and can learn from any lesson. While attending and completing four years of Education courses at a well respected institution I was focused and driven to complete the curriculum and focus on creative lesson planning. Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task. The preparation and focus applied in college paired with an immense interest in History has molded me into a life learner as well as teacher. Most of my experience is related to the

As a Supervisor, and later as Safety Trainer, for the Phone Company, I was called on to present and educate employees of the Phone Company (QWEST) 1970 - 2001. Topics ranged from general safety to technical applications specific to jobs within the company. After retirement from the Phone Company, I began teaching photography to Real Estate professionals, with a MN Department of Commerce approval (course #1003818). I've been a Professional Photographer since 2003. As Founder and Director of a 501 c.3. non-profit organization in MN since 1998, I have written material and lectured to a variety of groups and organizations on the subject of Grief and Support, particularly regarding the death of children and the impact on their families.

Teaching Style: I believe in giving importance and attention to each student. I make all students involve in my teaching. My goal is not to neglect any student. To provide best of my knowledge to students who want to learn more and at the same time keeping pace with students who want to understand things in simpler ways. I am patient and able to understand how to make out best from students. I make things simpler for students that they like enjoying the subject they are learning. Teaching Experience: I have 3 years of teaching experience. I have taught to undergraduate students. I am Ph.D in Organic Chemistry which gave me extensive experience in Chemistry.
