A Little Bit About Me...

I attended Denison University in Ohio where I earned a B.A. in psychology, summa cum laude, with a minor in music performance (trumpet). I was a department fellow and tutor, primarily working with psychology and writing students, and also worked as a stage manager in the music department. After college, I headed to The Ohio State University where I earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology with a specialization in college teaching. While I was a graduate student, I taught general psychology and ACT prep courses and scored ACT and SAT writing exams. Thanks to my education, I am an expert in psychology, reading, writing, and general scientific literacy. As a teacher and a tutor, I have worked with students ranging from children to doctoral degree candidates. I like tutoring students individually because it allows me to tailor my approach to each student in a way that I could never do in a cla ... read more

Psychology is one of my top subjects! I have a minor in psychology at the bachelor level, and am working on my masters' degrees in community mental health counseling and school counseling.

I began tutoring in high school, as a sophomore. I started tutoring freshmen, and continued throughout my high school career. I would also often lead study groups with friends. In college, I was never an official tutor. However, I would lead study groups with friends. I have a strong background in sociology, which was my undergraduate major. I minored in psychology as well. I am currently getting my masters' degrees in both community mental health counseling, and in school counseling, which has significantly added to my previous knowledge of the field of psychology. I have had a practicum and an internship experience as a school counselor, which required teaching lessons, so I do have some teaching background. I was also employed with the Winona Workforce Center, in Winona MN, as a school outreach worker. I went to five different high school, teaching students about careers and job ... read more

My comments on tutoring Psychology : Have experience in providing individual and group tutoring college students for general psychology courses.

My first focus in on developing rapport with the student and also discussing what they (or their parent/s) may be looking for from a tutor. I like to take a positive and developmental approach which focuses on building in goals and building on the success of those goals. Also finding out how the student learns or likes to learn, and assessing what has been successful/not so successful in the past for learning a subject. I like to end each session with of review of the student relaying what he or she has learned, as this can really help with retention of information.
I am a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Minnesota and have been working as a psychologist for going on 20 years. Both my undergraduate and Master's degrees are in psychology and counseling services. As an undergraduate, I was the psychology tutor for college students who were taking the general psychology classes.I ... read more

I am a patient tutor who will happily explain a point in many different ways until it clicks for my student. I pay careful attention to teaching styles that do and don't work for my students so I may taylor my style to them. I am an enthusiastic learner and I love showing my students how much fun they can have, too. When subjects get complicated, I'm great at simplifying the tricky parts and putting it into easy to understand words. Flash cards, pictures, and mnemonic devices are all tricks I've used.

I have just completed my master's degree combining courses from both biology and anthropology. My thesis concentrated on awareness of nature and conservation education in a rural community of Costa Rica. I have also gained considerable experience as a teaching assistant at SDSU for the last 2 years. This allowed me to create and present lectures for undergraduate students, proctor exams, grade research papers and other assignments and interact with students. I truly enjoy helping people learn and feel that I have excellent skills in teaching and student advising.
It has been my experience, both as a student and a teacher, that people learn best with positive reinforcement and patience. When assisting students I make it my goal to explain the subject matter step by step and to avoid confusion. I also know that students are more comfortable when they feel you are truly engaged in the ... read more

As a recent Liberty University graduate having earned a B.S. in Multidisciplinary studies (emphases in Education, Counseling and Computer Science), and several years teaching experience, I offer students excellent academic support. As a tutor you will find me creative, friendly, motivating, and encouraging. I feel it is important to not only assist in academic challenges, but also organizational and study skills. My goal as an educator is to help your child grow to be a successful, independent student - one motivated from within.
Learning should be fun and engaging; a necessity for effective learning. Because each student has unique academic needs, I prefer to reach students on their level with a differentiated approach. Lesson plans I create are based on students' strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. My goal for students is that they experience learning in a way that b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring style usually depend on the person I am tutoring, however the following is my basic beliefs, which guide my teaching methods. I believe that you can make any subject matter easy by focusing on the basics and relating the subject matter to things the student can identify with. This allows the student to not become overwhelmed and more acceptable to the subject matter. In addition, I believe that the students should be challenged and encouraged to reiterate what you teach them. This allows the tutor to become more aware of the students needs and helps the tutor refine their methods.
During my time at the University of Minnesota, I have been employed at several different tutoring organizations. First I worked with K through 6th grade age children at Village Parks. While there my focus was to educate students in different cultures and languages, through games and physical a ... read more

The philosophy behind my teaching is to let the student guide their learning by relating information to their lives and interests so that it comes to life for them. Every student has the ability to do well if their learning is valuable to them. It is my goal to help students discover a passion for learning and work myself out of a job as they begin to take hold of their own education.
Beginning as a student working towards my TEFL certificate, I volunteered at Somali Adult Literacy Training and organization which teaches English to Somalis in the Twin Cities. I continued volunteering with the same organization for 3 years. I have worked with a variety of skill levels and taught students on my own. Additionally, I have completed a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at North Central University. My fields were Education and English, but I have taken Calculus, Physics and Chemistry, and s ... read more

Every child learns differently. In a world where we corporately streamline everything so that it all comes out pre-packaged and exactly the same we often lose sight of how unique each person is. I find that listening carefully to a child's reasons for having difficulty can help you to better understand how to help them learn. I find that children are often given too little credit - especially children with special needs. All children can be more than the world expects them to be. I just enjoy helping them realize that.
My degree in psychology has enabled me to understand all children better, and to work especially well with special needs students. I have experience tutoring students from the ages of 3 to 40+. Subject-wise I have taught Writing, ESL, Spanish and Karate. I have even given self-esteem building talks to grade-schoolers and middle-schoolers. My experiences as a writing ... read more
