I tend to teach things in a visual way. Drawing pictures, diagrams and using visual aides are the best ways I have witnessed to teach kids. I also think a structured reward system is HUGE in motivating kids to succeed. You need to find out what motivates your kid (money, toys, etc) and set up a system where he/she can earn these rewards through academic success. I am currently a medical student at the University of Minnesota Medical School Duluth. Before I started medical school I worked as a tutor for six years with two teenage boys with autism. Under the six years of my tutoring, both of these "disabled" kids were completely mainstreamed and even taking some AP and challenge classes. I believe that any kid can learn if they are taught in a way that is fun and structured. I tutored these kids in Math, Science, Social Studies and English. I also spent a semester as a Teaching Assistant i

Alyssa P - Kettle River, MN 55757 (36.7 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am a certified high school teacher with over six years of experience teaching and tutoring in the states as well as abroad. I started college full time at the age of 16 and graduated with an associate and two bachelor degrees before my 20th birthday. I am currently completing a master degree and have maintained a 4.0 grade point average through all 6 years of college. I spent a year living in Mexico and six months in Spain and now speak Spanish fluently. My education and experience has been primarily in the areas of English/ literature/ ESL/ grammar/ composition/ reading/ spelling and phonics, but I also have experience tutoring and teaching learners in the maths and sciences. I love teaching and discovering how to best meet the needs of individual learners who come to the classroom with unique backgrounds, aptitudes, interests, motivations, and personalities. My goal as an educat

Paul B - Duluth, MN 55804 (37.6 mi) - Journalism Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Sharing what I’ve learned about writing has been the most gratifying aspect of my work over all these years. I’ve learned that lecturing or directing is an ineffective, if not counterproductive, method of teaching. Rather, I prefer to help the student reach the same conclusions I have through questioning him or her, first about perceptions and then about what options exist for most clearly and accurately recounting them. Technical aspects such as grammar and punctuation obviously don’t lend themselves to this approach. For these, I use the time-proven red pen, but I also review the markup with the writer, explaining the logic behind the correction. More than 30 years of writing and editing have taught me that effective written communication begins long before the first word. It begins with accurate and detailed perception, whether of an event or one’s own thoughts. This perception then i
