Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Madison, WI

I prefer one on one or a small group no larger than five. I am patient and appreciate questions the student has so that I may better serve them. I have tutored on and off for the past 12 years. I have tutored people from 5th grade to age 50. I have much experience tutoring any type of math up to Algebra II. I have also tutored in Spanish on numerous occasions. I have lived in Mexico and Costa Rica which has really made my Spanish skills solid.

I currently teach technology classes twice a week at a private school. I am very experienced at working with children on computer skills. I believe my patience and creativity allows children to feel comfortable with their own learning needs. I work with them and help them find their unique learning style. We then build on that style to build their confidence and ability. All children can learn once we find their unique learning "channel". I have been a Special Education Teacher for 15 years and an administrator for 5 years. I have taught at both the elementary, intermediate and high school levels. I have worked with students who have been severely cognitively disabled and those that have had multiple attention and behavioral concerns. I am very patient and have been able to create systems to provide structure to keep kids on track. I always want children to know what to expect and

In my Masters in Teaching program we are learning about differentiation and working to find the best vehicle by which to present information to students. For example, if a student has a talent and passion for music, perhaps setting some of their social studies and science materials to song will help them better absorb the information. Also, the best way to create connections in students minds is to have them learn and then create something representing their learning. Perhaps they learn about an era of history and then they act out a scene that may have happened, or they visually represent a science concept. I also am a very organized person with good study habits that I can model for your student and help them put into practice. I am currently in school for my Masters in Teaching. At the completion of my program, I will be certified to teach grades one through eight. I have spent th

I like to make learning fun for children! I think that all children have the ability to be successful learners and that it is the responsibility of their educators to understand what motivates them and to help them discover how they learn best. That is why it is imperative that educators are creative and be familiar with the multiple intelligences exhibited by different children. I also believe that good tutoring can lead to successful performance in the classroom which can, in turn, improve a student's self confidence and aid in their development of a joy for learning. I earned a B.A. in English from Saint John's University in Minnesota and am working toward my Master's Degree in Education from De Paul University. I have worked as an assistant teacher for three years at the Latin School of Chicago and one year at Collegiate School in New York City. I have also worked as an after-sc

As a graduate student, I have had to push myself to absorb all the material possible in a relatively short period of time. In order to achieve this, my colleagues and I work in groups, making use of the diversity of our strengths to improve the entire group's work. I teach my colleagues the material that I know well, while learning from them the material they know well. In addition to this experience, I have also been a Teaching Assistant for two college courses and tutored undergraduate students for two years. I love bringing my passion for learning to others. Watching a student who has been struggling finally realize the intuition behind the material, when his/her face lights up with that realization really makes my day. I find this particularly satisfying with mathematics; for I believe that everyone has the ability to learn and understand all levels of math. Even though many st

I strongly believe that if one works hard, he/she can succeed at anything in life. I love encouraging my students to work hard and am so delighted when I see the light in their eyes when they grasp a difficult concept. I believe that everyone can do well in mathematics-- it is not an inborn talent, but a learned skill. My goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of my students the way my teachers/professors have done for me. As a graduate assistant for many esteemed professors at the University of Connecticut, I have developed a passion for passing on knowledge to the next generation of students. I have earned my M.S. in Economics while working as a teaching assistant for two different classes, one of which included a written research report. I have tutored students in Principles of Economics, which requires a thorough knowledge of applied mathematics and statistics. I ha

I constantly compare the perspective I get when I stand in front of a classroom with my own experience as a student. I find it rewarding when I see my students focused and it intrigues me how the dynamic of my lecture influences their performance. I have applied this style while teaching in engineering and in other tutoring in Spanish as a second language that I have done. I enjoy the most teaching to children because I like to experiment with different teaching approaches and examples to catch their attention and interest and make sure they will remember what I taught. I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I’m fluent in English, Spanish and am conversant in German. I work as a Research and Teaching Assistant in the Engineering department and twice a year I lead a discussion section during a one-week course in Polymers for undergrads at the

I have formally tutored with Madison College on two occasions lasting a year. I was also Tutoring throughout my time at Edgewood on a drop in basis with any students that came to the math department and could not reach a professor. I have a BS in Mathematics and doing math at all levels is fun for me. I enjoy helping students work through tough problems by allowing them to make mistakes and then rework the problem a couple of times the correct way. Since this is my area of expertise, I am able to come up with examples on the fly that will target the areas most troublesome to the student. Mathematics is a field that requires repetition but making that repetition as interesting as possible is a fun challenge. I do not wish to be a teacher by profession but I do enjoy helping individuals or small groups with science and mathematics.

I primarily teach through activities and ideas suited to meet each individual's need. Through the interpersonal contact and motivation I provide, I feel that I help the student to desire to improve their knowledge and perform better. Depending on the student, I can be an enthusiastic or a calm teacher. By taking courses such as child psychology, I am able to understand which teaching methods and interaction styles work best for each person. I think the best method of teaching is doing practice problems and hands-on work as well as addressing problems expressed by each student. I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin, Madison with a degree in Nutritional Sciences. This degree required excellent science and math skills to complete. I have taken math through Calc 2 and advanced science courses such as organic chemistry and genetics. I feel that I have a very solid bac

Throughout college, I consistently worked as a tutor or mentor, specifically with minority populations. Upon graduation, I joined Teach for America and taught high school English in rural North Carolina. Since my tenure in TFA, I have taught English to students in Mexico, substitue taught for 2 years at a Waldorf school in La Crosse, WI, and currently tutor and mentor students as I attend graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cumulatively, including extended substitute teaching situations, I have taught all grade levels 1-12 in various subjects. I would describe my teaching style as ecclectic. By this I mean that I discern which style or strategy would best accomdodate the needs of the particular child, based on their learning style. Once the child's learning style is distinguished, I would tailor my lessons/tutoring to that particular style.

As an Purdue University student, the drive to pursue higher education has always been clear and important part of my growth. I am presently pursuing my BS in Environmental Engineering, which has permitted me the opportunity to gain understanding of advanced sciences and mathematics while instilling creativity and practicality. Not only have I enriched myself through the math and science sides, yet I truely enjoy writting and languages, which has enriched my education, as a balance between the differnt subjects was created, while writting not only essays but creative stories. Over the past couple years and through highschool I devoted part of my time tutoring different subjects, and languages to not only youth but my peers as we. Growing up knowing that knowledge is power, it seemed as though anything was achievable. But as I began learning, I wondered why some things came easier to ot

I am a true believer of rewards for excellence and this is how I teach. I believe every positive milestone should be marked and celebrated in some short way. I also am a firm believer in laying out the plan for overall growth with the student. I currently work with students in 3rd through 8th grade teaching music and spiritual gifts indentification classes. I have volunteered in classrooms of elementary age students during my college years. I worked with students one on one in these settings catching them up with the rest of their class on current projects.

As a Teaching Associate at California State University, Northridge, I was responsible for implementing classroom safety, directing and conducting laboratory class sessions in Biology (Principles of Biology and General Biology), and I created and graded exams. In addition, I assisted and advised students with assignments, tests, grades, and course content. As part of my teaching duties I assessed student progress and evaluated student performance. I complied with university policies and procedures regarding student testing, record keeping, grading and maintaining office hours for student assistance and advising. The opportunity to become a Teaching Associate came from earning a BS in Cell and Molecular Biology and a MS in Biology. I gained a wealth of knowledge and understanding in the following areas: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, General Physic
