During my study towards at BS in Chemistry I published a paper with a professor doing electrochemical research. I currently work at a small manufacturing company where I purchase raw materials, formulate products, supervise the manufacturing process and check the quality of the end product. Through my studies and work I have learned to apply analytical thinking to real world problems for results. During the past decade I have tutored in mathematics, science, philosophy, photography and literature. I love helping children see the beauty in the world we live. That can be through solving a math problem that they struggled with or helping them learn from their mistakes. My goal is to help your child reach their full potential. I believe with the correct learning environment and focused attention a child will be able to overcome all obstacles.

I graduated from UW-Stevens Point with a degree in a Communication and a passion for enriching the youth in our community. Throughout my educational career I was always involved with a youth organization as either a Big Sister, basketball coach or a junior achievement volunteer. A full summer was spent as a camp counselor which was filled with daily schedules, leadership training, guided activities, numerous hikes and cooking projects. I am now an Assistant Program Manager at the nCenter and have been given the opportunity to teach Tae Bo, Art 101 and developed a running club called nSTEP. I love watching and learning from children. I believe that learning is closely related to confidence. I like to take the time to get to know children and understand what they like so that I can better understand how their brain works and how they process information. In understanding what they l

In 2005 I obtained a degree in Sociology with a minor in Spanish and in 2009 obtained a masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I have worked with children of normal intelligence and what cognitive disabilities. Although my degrees are not directly related to math, I use mathmatical concepts daily. I bring to the table the ability to use math terms in a day to day experience, rather than just in a classroom setting. I believe that all children can learn, and when a child has difficulty grasping a concept, the teacher must change their technique. I have used a variety of methods when working with children. Manipulatives, flash cards ,games and stimulus equivalence training are just a few. I also believe that a child that needs extra help with a subject should not feel like they are being punished. A teaching session should not just help a person learn a concept, but help devel

I have sons ages 17 and 20, and continually took an active role in fostering their education. From the time they first set foot in kindergarten, through high school, I regularly volunteered, supporting their and the schools’ needs. I assisted in the classroom, chaperoned field trips, dances, etc., planned and participated at parties, special events and any role that could make a small difference. I am especially sensitive to the needs of students with disabilities, particularly those with ADD or similar issues. I not only have first-hand, personal experiences with the challenges faced, but have education focused toward disability studies, abnormal and child psychology and even juvenile delinquency. As a recent student, my online education used the most progressive and innovative resources available. The BS in Interdisciplinary Studies enabled me to become proficient in three, instead

I was a volunteer to teach Religion in a At Risk school. Also since starting my program at Cardinal Stritch University, I've been placed in a couple of schools and have taught along with the regular teacher. My goal is to be a teacher that can motivate students in their learning and to become sucessful students. I like teaching through differentiation methods. I believe all children learn differently and teachers need to offer different options to facilitate those students' learning and enhance their multiple intelligences.

I believe that mutual respect and understanding is fundamental to a student-teacher relationship. I take time to get to know my students, both to understand their personalities for the purpose of choosing a teaching style that would be more effective with them, as well as to let them know that I genuinely care about them and their success. Compassion, encouragement, and patience are three qualities that I believe are so important to removing the effective filter that a student creates within him/herself when he/she feels uncomfortable. Once that "wall" is removed then true learning and comprehension can take place and this is what I strive to do with each of my students. I graduated summa cum laude with my BA and MA in Italian linguistics and while that seems to be a degree that is not very marketable in the field of general tutoring, I have studied other subjects at the graduate leve
