Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Polk City, IA

I have lived in Brazil for a total of 13 months, studied portuguese at university and on my own for 3+ years. I know firsthand the challenges and frustrations, but also the fun you can have learning the ins and out of this language as an adult. I have an expansive vocabulary, have worked a lot on my own pronounciation, and feel confident helping individuals or groups attaining high levels of fluency in portuguese. Hands on, conversation, music and film. Basically I would teach the way that I learned, which was learning how to navigate life situations (ordering food, making small talk, asking for advice) as well as vocabulary games and listening to wonderful music to improve pronounciation.

I understand that everyone learns differently. I generally prefer a more hands on approach. I attended a Montessori middle school and found it most effective. However, the goal is find what works best for the student. I graduated 10th in a high school class of 900. I have a BA in Dance and am currently taking pre physical therapy course work. I teach and train dancers, both in class and one on one. I also teach yoga. When I teach I also am teaching the history of the form, vocabulary, and the anatomy behind it.

I love to teach and coach and think it is important to understand that everyone learns and grasps concepts in different ways. I do not have a specific teaching style other than positive because each child requires their own approach. I have over 15 semesters of college courses most in the sciences. I find math and science to come easy to me if I am taught it in the right way and I would love to share that with struggling students out there. I have had experience in big and small schools, accelerated programs as well as normal classrooms so I have been exposed to a variety of learning environments.

As a Senior in High School I spent a semester in Mettmann, Germany. During my stay I helped my host mom, who was also the head English teacher at the school I attended. I assisted her teach 6th and 7th graders and had the opportunity to head the classes on multiple occasions. She also volunteered to teach English to elderly citizens once a week, which I also filled in for her when she had schedule conflicts. It was a terrific experience which demanded constant adaptation and patience. After finishing up 4 years of German from Ames High School, I began my studies at ISU. I took 2 or 3 German classes every semester. Classes varied from early 1900's literature to German films. I enjoy a very hands-on approach to teaching where students remain attentive through an energetic and lively approach.

I prefer the style of patience and hands on. No computers, no spell check. the only way to learn is to do it yourself. I have tutored adults for free when they have needed a good eye to evaluate their work. Many adults can not spell and have trouble building a basic sentence. I am good at proofreading and helping the thoughts to flow better. I ask a lot of questions in order to help the student understand the thought process.
