My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have experience in writing poetry, namely slam. I also have studied poetry in classes and on my own.

I have taken creative writing and journalism courses. I have experience in the journalism field, and won an award for one of my stories. I have also done much writing on my own, including writing a full-length novel (in the works of being edited with hopes of publication). I am an avid reader and my reading comprehension/writing scores on tests have always been well above average.
I work hands-on, using examples. However, I am readily able to adjust to new learning styles!

A Little Bit About Me...

I will graduate from the College of Saint John’s University this spring with a major in English Education. Classes I have taken at CSB/SJU include extensive English and Education courses and a continuation of Spanish education. I worked as a paid English tutor during my 4-year college career through Upward Bound Tutoring program. I fell in love with helping middle school and high school aged youth in a small group and one on one setting. I find my favorite moments of education to be in a one-on-one or small group setting. I hope to find more of those memories at your institution. I also participated in a summer internship in Katmandu, Nepal. I worked with the Whitefield School, teaching grammar, sentence structure and a writing workshop.
I am in the Education field to make a difference in student’s lives. I hope to do this through instruction and example. I believe these two eleme ... read more

I am currently a Licensed Dental Assistant with a Bachelor degree in Pre-dental and Biology.

Being overwhelmed with information that is just not making sense can be frustrating and most teachers don't have the time to give individual attention to each student. Ever student has different needs and I can help them focus on areas they doesn't understand as well as others. I can also show students that studying can be fun.
I have teaching and tutoring experience at the high school and college level. I love expanding their minds and sharing my knowledge with them. I will be a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Superior in just a few short weeks with my degree in English and Communications. I will be moving to Champlin just after the first of the year and am looking to continue tutoring.

My teaching style is mentoring, or sharing of knowledge, in combination with promoting the understanding of consequences. I strongly believe that learning can and should be an enjoyable experience for student, teacher and any other involved parties, such as parents. While some subjects may require rote memorization, I always try to explain the underlying reason, purpose and benefit of the material being taught. I also recognize the importance of listening and understanding the student's learning style in order to most effectively and efficiently obtain the desired learning outcome.
I am an accountant by occupation, and my tutoring experience is primarily as a volunteer, because I love learning and helping others to learn. I gave beginning piano and music theory instruction to a student who went on to become a professional flutist. I also taught beginning piano and music theory ... read more

I have a very communicative teaching style with languages, where it is important for the student to hear and speak the language as much as possible to learn it better. I also actively teach memory tricks (mnemonic devices, songs, etc) to help with memorization. I am very patient. I am always working to find ways to teach to students with different abilities, in my own classroom, as well as during my year's experience as a teaching assistant in a Special Education department of a local high school.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 several years of art classes. I also study Spanish for four years.
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 mysel ... read more

My teaching style embraces compassion, candor, and accountability. I create structured yet flexible learning environments that foster spontaneity, open communication, trust, and spiritedness between instructor and student. I value personal connections with students as a way to engage learning curiosities. Expectations are clearly defined and progress closely monitored. Finally, not only do I strive for success in writing and reading specific objectives but my passion for teaching manifests itself in a desire to see students grow in heightened self-awareness, beyond the academic setting.
Throughout my work careers, I have been successful at teaching, mentoring, and training employees and managers. Most recently, I worked as a graduate teaching assistant for two years teaching college level writing courses in composition and the study of literature. In these classes, I planned l ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer in a student-centered setting with an emphasis on differentiation and rigor. Each student has a different learning style and a specific skill they excel at. I am very empathetic with interpersonal skills and can use the skills students excel at as an advantage to advance others and help a student discover their own potential for learning. I also believe that personal experience determines the way a student is going to relate to the material, so my goal is to promote ways to relate to it and get students excited about finding self-efficacy.
While working on my Bachelors, I volunteered in eight schools working one on one with students, small groups, and classroom settings for language arts. I also student taught junior high language arts. I received numerous teacher of the week recognition when I taught after school art classes. Since graduation, I have been ... read more

My teaching style is personalized to the student. Each student has their own strengths and challenges and a good teacher will build on the former and mitigate the latter. I work with students to help them identify their areas of frustration and build confidence by setting achievable goals.
