A pre-tutor analysis will be conducted to determine the skill level. Each session will be tailored to fit the student. No two people learn the same, and I understand that.

My comments on tutoring American History : History can be incredibly boring - when it's taught in a boring manner. If you're having trouble paying attention in your American history class, send me an email! We'll use reframing, contextualization, alternative narratives, storytelling, and assorted other methods of engaging with content (and other long words) that should be REALLY AWESOME.

Fun. We'll talk about things in a way you understand, pursue strategies that are both silly and make sense, and use metaphors that are so ridiculous that you'll never forget them. I get very excited about things. It's very exciting. We'll have fun.
Tutored my way through high school, college, and have spent the years after graduation part-time tutoring high school students to get into whichever schools they set their sights on. My biggest pet peeve was boring classes with strategies that didn't make sense to me, and I'm here to fix that by offering a personalized style with in-depth analysis of your strengths, areas for improvement, and desired learning styles!

I have recently graduated from Sun Prairie High School with a 3.95 and will be attending the University of Madison next year. I have taken Advanced Placement English this year and have recieved superior grades in that class. During the last 2 years I have tutored regular and special education students in English and Math
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn if they are taught in a safe environment with a teacher that is willing to connect individually with the student. I am ready and willing to do whatever I can for the students I tutor and set them up on the path for success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have multiple years of experience tutoring elementary age and high school level students in literacy, math, and A.C.T. prep. I have a BA in history and took many composition and literature courses to enhance my undergraduate education.
My experience is working as a tutor and mentor. I am a patient, relaxed, and supportive person who is available to work at your pace. I am most interested and experienced in proofreading and editing for literary, historical, and research papers. I also have built a great deal of experience working on reading and math with students between the ages of seven and eleven.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have formally tutored with Madison College on two occasions lasting a year. I was also Tutoring throughout my time at Edgewood on a drop in basis with any students that came to the math department and could not reach a professor. I have a BS in Mathematics and doing math at all levels is fun for me.
I enjoy helping students work through tough problems by allowing them to make mistakes and then rework the problem a couple of times the correct way. Since this is my area of expertise, I am able to come up with examples on the fly that will target the areas most troublesome to the student. Mathematics is a field that requires repetition but making that repetition as interesting as possible is a fun challenge. I do not wish to be a teacher by profession but I do enjoy helping individuals or small groups with science and mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned two bachelor degrees from the University of Wisconsin: a BA in History and a BA in Political Science. I thoroughly enjoy both subjects and continue to deepen my knowledge of both in ongoing private study. In the past I have tutored students in music, mathematics, and English and feel capable of tutoring in any of the social sciences.
I believe the most important key to teaching is having a passionate teacher. When a student has a teacher who is interested in the subject matter, they cannot help but be interested too. In regards to my favorite subject, history, I believe it is best taught by focusing on the ‘story’ aspect of it. When a student can learn the over-arching narrative and hear the inspiring stories of the men and women who have made history, the dates and details will readily follow. I believe each student learns differently and a teacher needs both p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Cumulatively, including extended substitute teaching situations, I have taught all grade levels 1-12 in various subjects. I would describe my teaching style as ecclectic. By this I mean that I discern which style or strategy would best accomdodate the needs of the particular child, based on their learning style. Once the child's learning style is distinguished, I would tailor my lessons/tutoring to that particular style.
Throughout college, I consistently worked as a tutor or mentor, specifically with minority populations. Upon graduation, I joined Teach for America and taught high school English in rural North Carolina. Since my tenure in TFA, I have taught English to students in Mexico, substitue taught for 2 years at a Waldorf school in La Crosse, WI, and currently tutor and mentor students as I attend graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My teaching style is different for each student. I have never considered myself a student that things come easy to. I always had to find a way to relate to the material, and when I tutor that is exactly what I try to achieve with each student. Sometimes all it takes is it being explained one more time a different way.
As a graduate of the top chiropractic school in the world, I have achieved a high level of education. I have a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Through out the years I have taught 5-8th graders in various subjects, as well as helped teach for a national board review company to chiropractic students all over the country in a variety of topics. I was also the editor-in-chief for the Palmer Triune, helping me obtain an excellent understanding and appreciation for the English language.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love bringing my passion for learning to others. Watching a student who has been struggling finally realize the intuition behind the material, when his/her face lights up with that realization really makes my day. I find this particularly satisfying with mathematics; for I believe that everyone has the ability to learn and understand all levels of math. Even though many students find this subject difficult and abstract, I believe that with hard work and perseverance, anyone can master mathematics. I like helping students to realize that and to see the beauty in the simple logic and precise answers of mathematics.
As a graduate student, I have had to push myself to absorb all the material possible in a relatively short period of time. In order to achieve this, my colleagues and I work in groups, making use of the diversity of our strengths to improve the entire group's work. ... read more

I am currently in school for my Masters in Teaching. At the completion of my program, I will be certified to teach grades one through eight. I have spent the last six months working with Kindergarten, First grade, and Third grade students in my field placement. Prior to starting school, I had three years of training experience in the political field. That was done in large groups ranging from 20 to 100 participants. I also worked one-on-one with candidates on their written campaign plans. I am excited to work with students on reading, writing and composition, study skills, organization, and would particularly like to work with Middle School age children.
In my Masters in Teaching program we are learning about differentiation and working to find the best vehicle by which to present information to students. For example, if a student has a talent and passion for music, perhaps set ... read more
