I tutored last year with SPARK through the Milwaukee Boys and Girls Club. I worked with kindergartners through third graders.

My comments on tutoring ACT : I have a unique program for preparing students for the math portion of the ACT. I use diagnostic testing to help identify areas that need to be addressed, and provide practice using ACT practice tests to strengthen skills and build confidence.

I have taught at the high school and middle school for 17 years, in the Mequoun-Thiensville an Grafton School Districts. I was a school counselor for 5 years (middle school) and am currently an associate middle school principal. I retired from the Army Reserve in 2006 with 20 years of service. I have been tutoring for over 9 years.
Patient, encouraging, supportive. I use adaptive computer technology to supplement my tutoring.

I believe the best way for students to learn is by doing and discovering the material hands on as oppose to being lectured to. I like to instruct demonstrate the learning material to my students intially, but after that i prefer to have my students try the material themselves so they can see and understand what aspects of the material they dont understand. That helps me pinpoint what i need to focus on as far as helping them with a particular area of miscomprehension. I strongly believe in learning by doing instead of learning by seeing. I am fully aware that everyone learns in their own way so i am flexible in my teaching methods.
I developed my passion for teaching others from a a pre-college program I was in called Upward Bound. I learned study skills, time management and other skills that helped me excel in college. After college graduation,i obtained a tutoring position with t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an enthusiastic and hard-working teacher. I am passionate about education and the success of children and young adults. I believe that all students can succeed and I work hard to ensure that they are given effective and appropriate opportunities to do so. I take time to get to know all of my students so I can be the best teacher possible. I am patient, easy-going, caring, and honest. My students and I work together to make a cooperative classroom community in which everyone can contribute. I take a lot of pride in my work, and being with young people brings me tremendous joy.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe a good teacher will be able to convey the information in way best-suited to the student. A teacher can be extremely knowledgable, but the student must be enabled to learn through motivation and having the material accessible/understandable. I want to make sure the student is on the same page as me, and understands concepts/approaches to learning rather than just memorizing the material.
During my research-based M.Sc. study in Microbiology, I TA'ed three undergraduate courses (General Biology & Introduction to Microbiology). Over the years, I have become more aware of myself so that I can learn more efficiently. I scored well on my ACT (33) and my GRE (the grad school equivalent of the SAT - 690 for verbal, 740 for quantitative), and was able to attend well-regarded schools for my scientific training. I have many people to thank for my writing and analytical abilities, esp ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an undergrad student at the University of Wisconsin, I worked as a writing assistant in the Academic Resource Center assisting students with reading, writing and grammar. I have home schooled my two children for over 10 years using an original curriculum as well as purchased curricula. In addition, I have volunteered for the past three years at the local public library, tutoring writing, reading and math to adults. I have thus worked with children and adults of all ages and skill levels.
Knowledge is not something to be horded. I think we each have a responsibility to share what we know. I love to help people understand. I prefer to teach by lecturing,but I realize that individuals learn subjects individual ways, and thus as a tutor my task is to be clear and patient. From working with different people at different levels, I also know that to be successful I have to be flexibl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own words what they are trying to say. When they speak aloud, the words flow, and then I say, "There is your opening sentence right there. Quick! Write it down." At other times, I ask them to pretend that they are really someone else, an actor in a television show, for example, and I have them imagine that the character, not they themselves, are speaking. This releases the student to let go of inhibitions and let the film roll "for the character" and then they stop focusing on themselves.
As a lifelong lover of literature and writing, I have taught students from fifth grade through junior level college literature and writing courses. My MA and Ph ... read more

I go through all the concepts with the individual pertaining to what portion of statistics they are studying at that time. I will then walk them through a couple of examples demonstrating how to properly obtain the correct answer. I will follow that up by asking them to do a problem without any direct instruction from me. I will watch them work on the problem to assure they are working on it properly. If any mistakes are made I will politely point them out as the individual is working. Finally, I will ask them to work on problems completely on their own and I will check their answers when they are done. I feel the only way to learn statistics, or any math for that matter, is through repetition and working on a lot of problems.
