Gabriel C. - Saint Paul, MN 55118 (30.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $15.00/hr.
I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers. I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people.

Jillian M - Montgomery, MN 56069 (6.3 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $44.50/hr.
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.

Joseph P - Burnsville, MN 55337 (19.2 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $41.00/hr.
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.

Matthew J - Edina, MN 55439 (22.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As a high school and college student, I was very active in my community as a tutor, mentor, teacher, and coach. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Exercise and Sports Science. This degree and other core courses have given me an opportunity to learn and understand many areas including math, science, reading, and history (social studies). As a college graduate, I have worked closely with literacy and classroom teachers with reading and literacy programs. I also have been a program assistant for academic mentoring programs; therefore I understand the importance of individual assistance for each child. Through my years of coaching and teaching, I have learned that a teacher must adapt his/her teaching style to the learning style of the student. A child can learn in different ways, and it is my job to find the most effective way to help the child learn. Growing up in a large family wh

Maureen B - Minnetonka, MN 55345 (24.4 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have enjoyed working closely with students of diverse backgrounds and abilities as a Writing Consultant, ESL tutor, and Teaching Assistant. I've had the pleasure of working with students who were puzzling over the minutiae of how to properly format a senior thesis to APA format and nervous freshman approaching their first English paper with trepidation. I am a firm believer that the job of a tutor is to work with the student, not with their texts or problems. Our motto at Carleton's "The Write Place" used to be, "We work with writers, not with their writing," and I believe this is the attitude any tutor should take towards the process of tutoring: student first. As recent graduate of Carleton College (magna cum laude), my experiences in the diverse fields of English and Cognitive Science over the past four years have given me a deep appreciation and enthusiasm for the unique license a

Leah B - Minnetonka, MN 55305 (25.8 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, one of the nation's elite research universities, so I feel that I now have a true appreciation for academic excellence. I earned a BA in Psychology with a minor in Jewish, Islamic and Near Eastern Studies. I will begin pursuing an MS in Industrial/Organizational Psychology at San Diego State University this fall. I have years of experience in writing and research skills, as well as a broad background in the liberal arts. I spent 2 summers tutoring an elementary school age student in basic Hebrew and I served as a tutor for an academic enrichment program during my senior year of high school. I am eager to share my knowledge and expertise with other motivated students! In tutoring situations, I like to lead by example. I try to be an excellent role model by sharing with my students the methods I have used to achieve academ

Shelly C - St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (26.5 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I also worked part-time as a supplemental tutor for students of many ages. At two different tutoring centers I taught reading and mathematics to elementary aged students. I also taught reading, writing, Algebra, Geometry, and study skills to high school aged students. I also helped students of all ages with homework from school in many subjects including; Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Social Studies, English, and French. Lastly, I helped high school students prepare for the ACT and SAT standardized tests. I love helping people succeed. I have an ability to show someone a new way of looking at things, which is sometimes the only thing keeping a person from understanding. I also have a great ability at reading someone and noticing when they don't understand. Sometimes people are too embarrassed to speak up and ask for help, even when I'm there for that ex

Dillon H - Waseca, MN 56093 (27.4 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I am a current Master student at MNSU in Mankato and I received my Bachelors of Science in Biology in 2009. Currently I am planning a thesis and developing my skills in grant writing. I'm a very patient and personable guy. I will make sure that you have all your questions answered and also help you develop efficient study techniques. Establishing a friendship with a student can make the learning process go much better. Defining strengths and weakness can allow for appropriately allocation of time to promote more efficient studying. Kinetic learning would be used to provide a visual demonstration of the material for better understanding.

Jamie L - Eagan, MN 55121 (27.5 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Ten years ago, at just 14, I knew I had a calling to help others reach full potential in all aspects of their lives, and did something about it. At that time, I implemented a scheduled and drop-in tutoring program through my high school counseling center. This allowed my peers to take advantage of my assistance in all subjects. For the next 4 years I averaged 200 hours each school year tutoring, and continued that passion with summer elementary (K-6th grade) Title One Service-Learning student teaching.
Throughout high school and college, I tutored ESL after-school programs. I taught Alternative Middle and High School creative journal-writing classes, and spent time assisting in the college writing center. I taught and modeled skills including hygiene, cooking, money and time management, and decision-making. I volunteered with abused teen boys, probation, and middle

Keesha E - Owatonna, MN 55060 (28.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
When considering my teaching style, it is difficult to explain a single process for teaching. When working with different people it is important to remain creative, inventive, and patient. Every person has different learning styles and it is important to recognize in that person what helps them understand more fully. Whether it is diagram and pictures, breaking a complex problem into many simple parts, comparing similar examples that are familiar to the person, or simply taking the time to make sure that the child feels comfortable saying "I don't know". All of these are useful tools, but in my opinion by far the most important is patience. Remaining patient when someone doesn't understand is the absolute most important thing. Too many children are willing to give up on a subject, all they need is someone who knows they can do it, and can show them how. During my sophomore year in high s

Parmanand J - Minneapolis, MN 55407 (29.3 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $38.50/hr.
During my time at the University of Minnesota, I have been employed at several different tutoring organizations. First I worked with K through 6th grade age children at Village Parks. While there my focus was to educate students in different cultures and languages, through games and physical activities. From 2001 to 2002, I worked for with Minneapolis Parks and Public schools to tutor high school age to adult students in basic scholastics abilities up to more challenging subjects. My most recent position was with Upward Bound, where I worked with high school students throughout the St. Paul Public School system. During my time there I was responsible for tutoring students in all subject matters up to post secondary classes. In addition, I thought college prep classes. Through these past experiences and my knowledge of mathematics, I feel I will make students succeed. My tutoring style us

James C - Minneapolis, MN 55403 (29.4 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I have been told I am a patient and imaginative teacher. I have been a camp counselor at a nature camp for six summers and have tutored and taught for an additional 5 years. In this time I learned how to help children learn, and how to make it fun. For many children learning how to teach them is the hardest part, i.e. to use visual aids, or to make use of kinetic learning. With many years of experience I have learned to identify and then utilize the appropriate learning style to achieve the maximum level of improvement. Throughout my four years at Marquette I tutored in three programs including the federally recognized TRIO program to help advance the college prospects of inner city minorities. I tutored in high school and college level math, science, social studies, English and literature. At Marquette I earned a BA in history and theology. I also studied abroad and at Marquette

Britta H - Medina, MN 55356 (29.6 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $40.50/hr.
My first experience tutoring was in 8th grade when my 6th grade math teacher asked me to help some of his struggling students. I greatly enjoyed the experience and wanted to continue. I didn't get another chance to tutor until my freshman year of college. I volunteered to help a young man who could not take notes for himself. As the semester progressed, he asked for my help in understanding the material, so I began informally tutoring him in Biology. I also had the opportunity to tutor a young student in Short Calculus. Most currently I have been teaching a lab section at the University of Minnesota. The class is about 18 students and meets once a week for 3 hours. I am a very motivating teacher. I encourage my students to strive to do their best with the philosophy that they will be amazed at what they can accomplish. I try to get my students excited about the maaterial by inco
