More About This Tutor...

I have tutored individuals in grades 1-12 in various subject areas. I have been encouraged to pursue English, Writing, and Journalism as professions because of my talent in each area. I have tested at least 4 grade levels above my grade level since I began taking standardized tests. I have the ability to disect subjects in a way that makes learning fun and understandable.
I like to get to know each individual and find out how they learn. From there I can figure out what will work for them and what won't.

More About This Tutor...

With my dual B.A. in History and English, I am capable of teaching a wide range of subjects in the liberal arts. My expertise is European Literature and History, specifically ancient and medieval, but I am also comfortable with the modern period. As a Teaching Assistant for college-level history courses, I was responsible for creating, administering, and grading college-level class assignments and essay exams as well as meeting with students to clarify course material, help them prepare for exams, etc. Thanks to such teaching and grading experience, I have excellent grammatical and argumentative proofreading skills. I am confident that I can foster interest in the subject material regardless of the student's personal learning style.
To me, learning is best exemplified by an engaged and interested student asking informed and critical questions of the material assigned. I believe tha ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is to find out what a student is good at and build on that success to improve areas of concern. I use humor and a laid back style with organization and skills to increase probability of success in academic areas. I believe every student is different and learning styles are unique. I keep coming at a problem in different ways until we find a method that works. I listen to the student and approach difficulties as challenges giving the student courage and confidence.
I have a BS in Elementary Education. I taught first grade for 7 years, teaching reading, math, science, history and writing. I also tutored at Sylvan Learning Center for three years in Reading, Math (including Algebra I), Writing, Advanced Reading, ACT prep and Writing. I have a passion for Reading and believe students who are good readers can excel in any subject, including Math and Science. I h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always loved working with children. My teaching style is friendly, and casual, but still quite demanding. I try to create a comfortable and fun tutoring environment, but within that environment I challenge my students to work past their difficulties to reach levels of achievement they may not have previously believed themselves capable of. In order to create this environment I tend to incorporate games, novels, and fun worksheets that are right at the edge of a student's comfort level into my lessons. I believe that any child can achieve excellence if given caring instruction, and sufficient encouragement. Through fun, friendship, and support I can help any child achieve and surpass their goals.
As a child I loved to read and write. In High School I took the AP exams for both English Language and English Composition, scoring a 4 and a 5. It was a natural choice for me ... read more

As a recreation major, I have held a number of jobs working with children of all ages. My first job as a lifeguard and swim instructor helped me understand how to work with children ages three to fifteen and really get a feel for how their brains operate and the proper learning styles to use for each age. Moving on to my job as a camp counselor and staff member at 4-H Memorial Camp in Monticello I really started to familiarize myself with young adults and the way they behave in different settings.
I am a very laid-back, out going person but I never stray from the main goal at hand. I strive to help educate children the best way possible, and would like to make a difference in their life. My education growing up was very positive, and going to a smaller school enabled me to have one on one contact with my educators. I hope to allow the child to feel comfortable with me as a tutor an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a BS in psychology with a minor in biology from the University of Illinois. My focus has been on medicine and science, working in adult medical education for over 12 years. I owned a medical education company for five years, working with physicians who would be considered the top two percent in their fields in the world. We developed curriculum for doctors, pharmacists and nurses to teach them about new drugs and new research, all with the hope of improving patient care. During this time, I honed my grammar skills by writing and editing journal articles and medical monographs. Along with my experience in adult education, I have always had a love for children. Shortly after college, I worked in and then ran a before and after-school program for an elementary school. Over the years, I have helped students in an unofficial tutoring capacity in many subjects, from teaching m ... read more

After four years in university, I had travelled abroad, presented two recitals, accompanied numerous musicians, performed in 6 ensembles, been published, and received a Teaching Assistantship, along with receiving my Honors BA in German and Honors BM in Vocal Performance with a minor in Piano. I have extensive tutoring experience in Music, German, Writing Composition, and Public Speaking. My students have been honored state and nation-wide in music and speech. Currently, my interests have broadened into publications and I have a book on remixing education. I began working with children at the age of sixteen. I started my own business in Missouri, and am hoping to continue my work tutoring during my transition to Champaign/Urbana.
I feel that each child needs to feel appreciated and successful. My sessions include, of course, language, music, or speech, but I also work in philosophy ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently in my first year teaching in Indianapolis. I am a licensed Biology teacher although I have a strong math and science background. I would love to have an opportunity to work with students on a one-on-one basis.
I believe that students need guidance and structure in order to reach their highest potential. In the classroom, instruction can only be differentiated so much. Individual tutoring would allow me the chance to really meet a student at their level and understand their learning style.
