I just graduated from PLU with a degree in Business, a concentration in human resources, and a minor in psychology. I maintained a high GPA throughout my college experience and graduated with honors. I have very good study skills and am very organized. I took a variety of classes and excelled in writing papers and test preparation. I have never tutored children but have given children riding lessons and have helped 4-H children learn horsemanship skills. I consider myself very patient and a good teacher. When they don't understand something I work hard to try to explain it in a different way. I have also corrected and given feedback on fellow college student’s papers and assignments. I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to help ch

After teaching in college and in secondary schools for the last 20 years I have had the opportunity to meet, know, and teach children and grownups of many varied backgrounds. I pride myself on being able to commucicate ideas and principles of education with anyone. This has always been a strongpoint of mine. As a graduate from Washington State University with a BA in English, creative writing, and a minor in communications with a washington state secondary teaching certificate I feel I have the knowledge and experience to help any student. I have tutored students in ESL, Spanish, English grammer and composition, guitar and poetry, primarily.

I have a B.A. in Technical Theatre. This knowledge in the backstage end of theatre deals greatly in literature, particularly the study of dramatic writing. Having already a strong knowledge of English studies this experience has further aided my skills in grammar, analytical input, as well as in reading and writing practices. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude I am confident in my literary experience and my ability to pass it on to children of all ages. This knowledge has been greatly reinforced by my prior position as a teacher's assistant for almost two years. I have worked closely with the children on reading, writing, math, and science and greatly enjoy witnessing their accomplishments in these subjects. As a teacher's-assistant for children ages 4-6 I have been able to gain experience working with them one on one and in whole groups for almost two years. This has taught me the va

I first tutored for two years during high school when a family friend asked me to help him teach kids chess at four elementary schools. I thoroughly enjoyed these experiences and developed a patient tutoring style that emphasizes critical listening. I continued to tutor in college, after a professor recommended me to the Central Washington University Writing Center. I trained with eighteen other students and was one of five selected to continue in practicum classes for the 2008-2009 school year. I went on to work as a paid writing consultant for the fall and winter quarters of the 2009-2010 school year and consulted 293 undergraduate and graduate students on writing from a variety of disciplines. If students lack motivation or direction, it’s often because they are trying to perform an advanced task without basic skills. For example, many students know about the “five-paragraph essay” fo

For me, teaching is the most rewarding experience you could ask for. I love to teach, whether its an elementary student, high school student, or even someone in their college years. Patience is the most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring. Many people just keep talking a pushing when a student just isn't getting it. Instead, I try to listen more and see what the underlying issue is. I have found that is the best way to really succeed. The concept of "staying positive" is also extremely important to me. You have to be optimistic in order to learn, and that is the type of learning environment that I strive to promote. I recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting, which has enabled me to gain substantial knowledge in many areas of business and math. I also received a minor in Sociology. This mino

I am an outgoing, positive individual and this style comes across clearly when I work with children. I have a gift when it comes to making learning fun and rewarding. Much of a person's self esteem is derived from their accomplishments, therefore it is important to me that the children that I work with learn "how" to do the work, rather than someone giving up on teaching and doing it for them. I am very patient. If I have to explain something several times, I'll do it without displaying frustration and always staying positive. I love teaching kids in a positive way and in a positive environment! I am highly qualified to tutor in the areas of English/reading/writing. I currently volunteer at my son's school and assist children with assignments, I have created well written manuals and marketing materials for local businesses and have also written brief articles for the Herald newspaper.

I am currently a paid tutor at Montlake Elementary School, assisting with language arts and math - at all levels. I have a secondary school teaching credential, and I taught English, reading, and ESL. As a lawyer, I have excellent writing skills especially in organization and editing. I love being in the classroom and helping students learn. When I am not in the classroom, I am a volunteer tutor (New Holly) assisting in math and reading. I have taught ESL in a variety of environments and do well with cross-cultural challenges. I am patient, considerate, and teach with a style that makes a student feel good about himself/herself. I have straight-forward expectations and work with my student to hone them to a particular subject or situation. I am funny, and I work hard to create activities that are appropriately challenging, but fun. I want my students to miss me when I am not ther

I place a high value on practical education. I graduated high school at the top of my class and received my AA degree just a few of months later- all while working full-time. I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a local graduate degree program. Because of my heavy workload I was able to develop effective and efficient study methods. I have been tutoring, mentoring and coaching children, teens and adults for the past nine years with great success to them academically, socially and emotionally. I also have a great desire to teach adults and have tutored many in computer skills Specifically, I have tutored students in English (literature, grammar, writing, etc.), mathematics, science, and liberal arts. Education, youth and adult continuing education are great passions of mine. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and has room for improve

My experience as a teacher began in my Church, I taught for 3 years in one of our Sunday School classes. My students ranged in age from 2-11 years old. After graduation from the University of Washington I was unsure if Education was what I wanted to do. So I chose a different path, and found out just how much I loved to teach. I decided to take the certification exam for Reading and Elementary Education I passed the Reading exam and missed the Elem. Ed by 5 points. I decided to go into Adult education to see if it was for me. I began teaching communications at Bates in November of 2009, I now teach Interpersonal Communications and a Human Relations course. I just completed training to become a certified online instructor. I love to teach, and I believe my teaching style is very laid back.

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship. I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department an

I simply enjoy helping others in general. Everyone has the ability to learn, as we are extremely curious beings that strive to always "want to know." It brings me satisfaction to see the "light bulb" go off in a student's head once they are able to get a concept that has been frustrating them. I understand that each individual mind is not the same, and the challenge of finding a way to reach out to each individual gives me motivation, as I love new challenges. I am confident in what I do, because I have personal experience in receiving tutoring, and providing tutoring services for others. You can expect your student(s) to go up at least one full letter grade with my help. As an undergraduate Chemistry major, I was looking to make some extra money, as college students are generally quite poor. I am very good with finding various ways of helping others to understanding key concepts i
