I am a 21 year-old senior attending UW-Milwaukee. I will be graduated in December 2012 with a BA in Literary and Critical Studies with a minor in Philosophy. I have not had any formal experience with tutoring but have always been someone who my friends and fellow students seek out to proof read their papers and to give suggestions or comments. Last semester I made the Dean's List here at the university and I am maintaining a 3.8 accumulative GPA. I am a very patient and compassionate individual. I will always help a person capitalize on his or her academic strengths, while working patiently but dilligently to recognize his or her weaknesses.

My favorite end-of-the-year project. Students creatively put together bound booklets with different types of poetry they learned. I make poetry a lot of fun! I have worked with children in a variety of settings and ages over the past 25 years: church camp counselor, gymnastics coach, dance instructor, theater, forensics judge, tutor, and classroom teacher. These experiences have both shaped my style of teaching and equipped me with a broad range of skills needed to connect with, instruct, and inspire children. I’ve worked for an elementary MPS school, an elementary Charter School, a suburban Middle School, and a Catholic school system. When two of the last schools I worked for closed because of financial difficulties, I went back to school to get my Masters Degree in Reading Curriculum and Instruction. Since then, I have not been able to find a teaching job. I am a passionate, experie

I have always enjoyed reading and writing. In college and graduate school I decided to pursue studies in British and American Literature as well as English Writing. Throughout my education I have tutored students in World Literature, Mythology, grammar, and writing. I have strong grammatical skills and writing skills due to my high achievements in my studies and grant opportunities I have taken advantage of. I believe any child/student/adult can improve their reading and grammatical skills with help from a tutor. I am patient, flexible, and creative. These attributes and many more I will bring to each tutoring session to ensure that best possible outcome. I believe in using a variety of creative methods to help each child learn at their own pace, and that when an educator cares he/she can make a difference in a child's life. Reading and writing can be accessible to every individual, and

I am a fervent believer of Gardner's mutiple intelligences, because I know that each person has a unique learning style, and unique interests. Therefore I will do all in my power to discover each and every student's learning preferences, so that learning becomes a responsible, joyful experience. Consequently, I use eccletic methods, in brief "whatever works"! I always look for new tricks, new technological ways, but also include the "good old ways" in my teaching... because some students like them! I have never met a person who is not curious about something, and I consider this joy for larning my sure ally! I have been a foreign language teacher and tutor for 25 years (including English, reading and writing). I have taught all levels, all ages, mostly French (my mother tongue), German (my second mother tongue) Hebrew and English. I taught in private schools - 3rd to 12th grades - and

As a lifelong lover of literature and writing, I have taught students from fifth grade through junior level college literature and writing courses. My MA and PhD degrees have only further accelerated my desire to continue publishing academically in peer reviewed journals. These writing skills have led to my tutoring and editing the work of high school students and adults pursuing publications in other fields, such as business and the medical professions. Additionally, my certification in Alternative Education has enabled me to participate in the pursuit of achieving excellence in writing among urban youth, regardless of age or prior experience. Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own wor

I spent most of my undergraduate degree focused on learning advanced mathematics. While it was extremely challenging, I enjoyed it more than any other education experience. My love of math was echoed in my love for literature and writing. Although English was less challenging for me, the creative freedom made it worthwhile. All through college, I tutored math an English. After college, I pursued a career in branch banking, and worked my way to branch manager of a Seattle based bank. My love for teaching got the best of me, though, and I returned to graduate school for my teaching certification. I have taught in inner city schools for the last two years, and I haven't looked back since. I consider myself an engaging and fun teacher, while at the same time a driven motivator. Because of my unusual degree in pure math, my knowledge of the content area and various solution strategies

I love working with all types of children and young adults. I love being able to see them grow and learn new concepts and ideas. I am a very patient, fun, loving person who will show your child compassion and give them the best education possible. I am able to work around the child's individual needs and learning styles in order to obtain the best education possible. During my college years at Carthage, I tutored several of my classmates for a variety of classes throughout the years. I have earned my bachelors degree in Biology and am familiar with Chemistry as well. I enjoy teaching and helping others and seeing them succeed in their academic careers.

As a student I enjoyed most the teachers who facilitated learning. Teachers who lead students on a road of discovery as they learned, who taught me how to think and not what to think. I model my teaching after the same style I enjoyed as a student. Helping a student discover for themselves the material not only educates them but fosters a passion for the subject at hand. Rote memory has it's place and is essential, but when a student becomes passionate about a subject, then the door is open for them to excel at it. I teach and tutor with the goal in mind to foster that passion, that drive and to be able to carry it throughout a life of learning. I was an exceptionally driven high school student, taking the most difficult schedule my small private school would offer. My course work included AP calculus and AP US government, on both exams I received good marks. In college I studied

I graduated from high school in 2003 with honors and graduated in 2007 from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. Throughout my schooling I have attended multiple classes in reading/writing, science, history, computer/I.T., foreign language, creative arts, business and math. For two years I was involved with the Big Brother program where I worked with an autistic student. I’m currently employed at US Bank where I work as a mutual fund analyst. I’m also on the training committee at US Bank where I’ve been gaining real world experience helping others. I enjoy teaching people subjects that I understand. My preferred subjects to teach would be anything math, finance and accounting related. My teaching style is similar to coaching; I use positive reinforcement, motivate and lead by example. I look forward to any challenge and helping individuals succeed.
