I believe there are no bad students, just bad methods of teaching. Therefore, I have sought out the best methods of teaching to aid my students in understanding a subject, building on the basics. I have used these methods successfully as a homebound instructor for middle school and high school students. I also have experience working with ‘learning disabled’ and remedial level students in the third grade. Currently, I tutor community college students in Algebra and assist with English Composition proof-reading.
I approach teaching is “learner centered.” I first determine a student’s personality and learning style. Then, I tailor the instruction to use his or her strengths to accelerate comprehension. Building on the basics is essential to progressing through a subject area. Therefore, I will diagnose any gaps in learning and cover these before progressing. I am very encouraging and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've been a special education teacher and held positions in resource and in self-contained rooms. I've taught students with learning problems in reading, math, and writing. I have also worked in the Lights on for Learning program and have been a home tutor for home bound students in the district.
I'm a strong believer in the Gardner's ideas of many different learning styles and types of intelligent. Some students are better audio, tactile, or visual learners. I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to find the best learning style for each student and build on that format through scaffolding. I love nothing better than to see the light bulb go off in a students mind. This also helps them to realize that learning can be a fun adventure.

As a graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minored in Chemistry, I received an excellent education.

More About This Tutor...

I truly enjoy working with all students. My past experiences of interacting with children has shown me all children have the ability to learn, but learn at different paces and in different ways. I believe in finding out what learning method works best for each individual student and build from there. I am patient, understanding, and have a strong willingness to help others. I believe effort goes a long way. As long as there is effort on behalf of the student, as well as from the tutor, success can be achieved. My goal is to make simple improvements in small steps to obtain that sense of accomplishment and confidence for the student. As a mentor I will provide encouragement and support to make a difference in each student's life.

In 2007, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Drake University. Since then I began working as a case manager for people with disabilities. On the side of my job I have volunteered my tutoring skills to a few of my friends over the past couple years with classes like, biology, general chemistry, psychology, as well as physiology. Each person passed these classes with a B or better. With my background in science as well as working with people with disabilities for a living I believe that I can be a great tutor for any student.
I love to work with pre-teen and teenage students who are determined. I feel that I can help them get a better understanding of the things they want to learn. Although I have no formal teaching skills, I love science and and willing to help anyone who wants to learn. Working with people with disabilities has helped me to discover my great ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping students learn the concepts of mathematics/statistics and helping them to understand how to use these concepts in the real world. Math can be quite challenging, but with the right amount of effort, patience, and guidance, anyone can learn. I know this because I've tutored students as young as 12 and adults as old as 30. I enjoy tutoring and helping others to learn how to solve challenging problems.
At the University of Illinois I decided to follow my passion and study both mathematics and finance, this lead to a degree in Actuarial Science. After working as an Actuary for the better part of 5 years, I decided to come back to school to study Finance and Marketing at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. I have been tutoring students in statistics since I was an undergraduate in college.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.
I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science.

For a year I volunteered to help students who had problems with math and science while I earned my masters degree. I learned how a teacher must try their best to help their student succeed. Moreover I have learned how to work with students with their research papers and projects.
I love teaching physics, especially to school students. I try to learn each student's abilities and use the techniques and materials necessary to help that student succeed. It is important for me to understand the students' problems they are working on and give them hints and help them to understand.
