A Little Bit About Me...

I have been tutoring for 2 years. I have great experience with students of all ages. I'm patient, and try to make learning and studying as fun as possible. I have a wide experience in all subjects. I was originally going to school for nursing so I have taken almost all of the science classes. I took Spanish for four years. I'm a very advanced reader and writer.

ACT is one of my top subjects! 36 ACT and got into the Ivy school of my dreams. (Also, I hated impersonal test prep classes.) We'll use guided practice, meta-test strategies, and the essential skill of "making test prep not a total drag" to ensure your/your student's success!

Tutored my way through high school, college, and have spent the years after graduation part-time tutoring high school students to get into whichever schools they set their sights on. My biggest pet peeve was boring classes with strategies that didn't make sense to me, and I'm here to fix that by offering a personalized style with in-depth analysis of your strengths, areas for improvement, and desired learning styles!
Fun. We'll talk about things in a way you understand, pursue strategies that are both silly and make sense, and use metaphors that are so ridiculous that you'll never forget them. I get very excited about things. It's very exciting. We'll have fun.

"Children are the world's most valuable resource" - JFK

I believe that a child cannot fully come to comprehend subject matter without having a chance to be immersed in it first. This philosophy lends to the hands-on, question-oriented form of teaching that I so firmly stand by. I realize that different people employ different strategies in coming to learn new material and I will adjust the way I teach as best I can in order to accommodate each and every individual detail. Much the same as the famous social psychologist Lev Vygotsky emphasized the zone of proximal development, I believe that education should not be approached from the standpoint of "teaching to the test" as much as it deserves to be about aiding a child in coming up with creative alternatives in an effort to master the concept in question and develop an intrinsic motivation to actually want to learn.
Working with children always has been and always will be a passion of m ... read more

It’s not just an A C T score, it’s your future!

I am a retired public school teacher with over 25 years of experience. I have also A C T coached approximately 2000 students over the past 17 years. Many of those students attend the top tier colleges, earning admission and scholarships based on an A C T score above 30. I have developed my own materials which are highly effective. I am only interested in working with students who are hard-working and motivated. Students often travel from surrounding states and counties to enroll in my boot camp or weekly sessions. My daughter and husband are physicians at UW Hosptial so now I’m in a position to offer summer classes in the Madison area.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am known for my creative teaching style, and work to actively engage a student on their level and then bring them up to their highest potential. I apply an organized and clearly constructive approach to learning, and believe that making lessons as interesting as possible is key. As I've worked with many learning styles, I've come to see that the hands-on approach (global kinesthetic) , or "doing' is most affective. I love teaching, and want my student(s) to feel comfortable in asking questions, asking for clarification, and practicing skills.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a voracious love of learning. Every subject in the Humanities held a fascination for me, and to this day, I read two books a week, write, draw, and study educational Psychology. years after my graduation, i earned my Secondary Teache ... read more

While attending UW-Whitewater I completed my Observation and Participation at Golda Meir in Milwaukee for 4th grade, completed my Field Study at Palmyra-Eagle High School for grades 9-12, and have just completed my Student Teaching at BlackHawk Middle School on Madison's East Side for 8th grade. I have tutored many students from ages 8-45(continuing students at UW-Whitewater). I am aware of the many different learners there are and I know how to relate the material at hand to the relevancy of the individual's life.
I like to laugh, have fun, and create a comfortable environment for individuals to learn. It is important to have that type of space so as to ensure that students do not form a sense of anxiety when entering the room or when studying that particular subject. I love creating a variety of activities: group, individual, hands-on, problem solving, comprehension and reading, ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having my bachelor degree in English and Philosophy, I have been given a unique understanding towards how to ask questions to make people think about the material they're reading, and what questions the material is trying to ask. Supporting this is my background as a writing center assistant at college which not only offered me the chance to improve my own work, but, also to learn how to guide frustrated students without giving in to the temptation to do the work for them. During this past year, I have worked with second and third generation Chinese children, teaching English, math, art and science on a first grade level.
I believe that children want to learn and discover things about the world, and my goal as an educator is to foster that curiosity and channel it towards classroom subjects by a more holistic style of teaching that incorporates personal interests with the standar ... read more

There is no better moment that when a child becomes engaged and starts understanding and asking questions. Once a child starts asking questions you know that they are excited about it and want to learn. When teaching my goal is always to get children excited about what they are doing and then proceed from there. All children have different strengths and I try to work from those strengths.
I recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering. I have taken extensive courses in math and science. Math and science are fields that I love and excel at. While in undergrad I was active in many student organizations and volunteer opportunities. I volunteered at science olympiad for a year and also tutored middle school students. I have many younger siblings, all of whom I have helped with homework on several occasions.

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 the last six months working with Kindergarten, First grade, and Third grade students in my field placement. Prior to starting school, I had three years of training experience in the political field. That was done in large groups ranging from 20 to 100 participants. I also worked one-on-one with candidates on their written campaign plans. I am excited to work with students on reading, writing and composition, study skills, organization, and would particularly like to work with Middle School age children.
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 set ... read more

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.
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.

First, I am a life long learner and love reading. I have a masters in Library Science and have worked for the past 2 years as a reference librarian where I frequently answered questions, worked with patrons one on one, taught ACT prep and computer classes. Previous to working at the public library, I volunteered tutoring elementary and high school students in grammar, composition, and mathematics.
I enjoy helping people find and understand information. When teaching, I like to encourage my students to find their own path and reasoning to the answer. I encourage supervised and structured trial and error where the student tries different methods to finding the answer. This nurtures the excitement of discovery and the joy of learning something new.
