Literature is one of my top subjects!

I am an enthusiastic life-long learner and teacher. I've spent my life reading and loving literature. I want to share that skill and joy with as many people as possible. My time at the University of Minnesota was a formative experience, there I learned the essentials of reading great books and articulating critical thinking through written word.
I am very flexible and patient. I believe as a teacher one should act serve a midwife from the student to the understanding of a skill or concept. I want students to learn through instruction and fully integrate that learning through open dialogue and application.

I develop most of my lesson plans using GLAD principles. I like to use multiple senses, student interaction and various resources to keep the student active. When teaching a language, it is important to know the basic grammar structure first, and then speaking and listening follow. I work with people with disabilities, teaching them how to canoe with a company called Wilderness Inquiry. The company's motto is: Anyone, anywhere, anytime, any place. We strive to make this possible, because it is possible! It is possible to have a quadriplegic go on a canoe trip or a blind person to kayak through caves. I have learned that anything is possible with adaptation. While teaching, a successful teacher can allow everyone to learn, with adaptation.
During my undergraduate career, there were multiple influences that contributed to my passion for teaching. First, I tutored college students fr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my sophomore year in high school I decided to begin tutoring ESL students. I found the ability to help others succeed very rewarding, and began tutoring fellow classmates in courses including but not limited to English, math, biology, and chemistry. These sometimes difficult subject always made sense to me and I enjoyed watching as the students I tutored were successful. I have in that time earned a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Florida State University. With this degree I have had extensive exposure and to and learned many different areas in the math and science fields. While earning this degree I volunteered in an after school program tutoring under-priveledged children in the Tallahassee area. Throughout the last 6 years I have found that tutoring is a very rewarding experience. I prefer the 1 on 1 setting to better explain and address all the needs of a specific ... read more

I have always loved teaching, and enjoy working with all children. It is my belief that children can learn, and it is my job to find ways to make information interesting and accessible. My goal is to provide the best education possible in a manner that is both engaging and enjoyable. I believe in an interdisciplinary teaching style, where the student learns and retains information by connecting it to other subject matter. I adapt my teaching style to the needs of the individual, which I believe is of the very important in successful education. I always remember those teachers who have made me excited about learning, and seek to emulate their passion. I hope to make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of my students.

I believe in a teaching style that reflects a student's learning style. Whether they learn best by hearing, seeing, or doing it is important to cater to the student. My teaching style works around this philosphy and tends to be a combination of all 3 styles.
Although I have recently graduated with a degree in business, I am interested in pursuing a career involving people. My previous employment was a sales position that was very customer-oriented. I also have 3 years of experience helping children by teaching swimming lessons. Assisting my 15-year-old sister with her school work is also a regular activity.

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience stems primarily from my time attending college both in the United States and abroad in Cork, Ireland. I have earned a B.A. in English with the intent of pursuing graduate school. In May 2008 I was awarded the honor of an Award of Excellence in Critical Writing from the University of Northern Iowa. I spent three consecutive summers as a faculty member with Exploration Schools, Inc. located in Boston, MA where I taught, coached, tutored and led youth ranging in grades 4-9 in the areas. In addition, during the four years I attended U.N.I. I worked as a volunteer teacher and as an independent tutor.
My teaching style highlights each student's strengths in the particular area in need of tutoring. By doing this, the student gains confidence in the material more and more by knowing that while they may struggle in part in a certain area, there are also multiple areas of stren ... read more

I have a very modifiable style of teaching, meaning I cater to the student or students. I quickly learn the curriculum and can find multiple ways to teach it. This allows me to utilize the students major styles of learning and develop the areas where they may struggle. Teaching this way helps mold a complete student who is able to understand themselves and can learn from any lesson.
While attending and completing four years of Education courses at a well respected institution I was focused and driven to complete the curriculum and focus on creative lesson planning. Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task. The preparation and focus applied in college paired with an immense interest in History has molded me into a life learner as well as teacher. Most of my experience is related t ... read more

I believe that teaching is not knowing the answers, but understanding how to get to the answers. I am a very organized and patient tutor and have great respect for my students. I believe that with the right tools, any child can learn and improve their understanding. I know no two students learn in quite the same way, and I am able to adjust my teaching methods to fit a child's needs.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. My main interests and degree lie in medical sciences. I have a Bachelors of biomedical sciences degree with chemistry and psychology minors. However, I enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjects and having been able to tutor for the past eight years in subjects such as math, science, social studies, English, music, I have been able to maintain a general knowledge of these subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have worked for several years as an electrical engineer. One of my responsibilities as an engineer was to train recent college graduates. I wrote and taught new employees the basics of engineering. I would assist them on their first few projects.
I like teaching by doing. I believe it helps the student when they can see what they are learning put into use. I am very patient and do no mind repeating things or explaining them in another way that the student understands. In my Spanish classes, I would often lead study groups of several students.

I understand that each student is an individual, and I like to get to know him/her as a person. The more I am able to connect with the student, the more successful we will be in achieving academic success! My teaching style is adaptable to the student. Some students need help focusing, extra practice, a boost in confidence or the subject explained in a different way for comprehension. The beauty of tutoring is you are able tailor the material and style to the individual learning ability of the student, unlike in the classroom where you must serve the entire group.
I grew up in a household that valued education and creative learning. As a result, I have always been driven to do my very best in all subject areas. I officially started tutoring in 2002, at Southwest Minnesota State University. My initial subjects were Algebra and Finite Math. Since then, I have tutor in a number of sub ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an aerospace engineering student at Embry-Riddle, mathematics comes quite easily to me. I enjoy solving and creating mathematical problems. At Embry-Riddle I quickly became known as the "go to" guy for all math related questions. Within the first two weeks of the first semester I was leading a Calculus 2 study group and retained my position as such until the end of the semester. While the study group dwindled in size for Calculus 3 I did still lead the group.
I enjoy teaching mathematics and biology. If the student is willing to learn in some fashion I can help him or her. I tend to teach by examples for mathematics and for biology I teach in a lecture style, answering questions in-depth when necessary. In both fields I can give in-depth explanations for concepts. Specifically in mathematics, deriving proofs is especially easy for me and could be useful for those student ... read more
