More About This Tutor...

This past year I graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College with a Bachelor’s in History and Medieval Studies. I have studied abroad at Oxford University, and in Rome and Romania, and have a lot of experience in writing research reports and essays. As a student of the liberal arts I have studied a wide variety of subjects, from theology to environmental science, from Old English to statistics and am comfortable in almost any subject. During this past academic year I tutored a home schooled child one on one several hours a week in world history and research methodology; I was in effect his sole teacher in the subject and also helped him improve his writing and study skills. For the past four years I have taught chess to children aged six to ten, emphasizing analytical skills.

More About This Tutor...

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 lic ... read more

I am committed to the study of languages as is reflected in my undergraduate studies and work experience. At the College of Saint Benedict, I graduated with a B.A. in both English and French. While pursuing my B.A., I worked in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages as an assistant to a French professor who also served as chair of the department. As an assistant, I corrected homework and exams. I also tutored individual students in French. After graduation, I worked for Concordia Language Villages in a French immersion camp. I was responsible for designing evening cultural programs and teaching language lessons to both advanced and beginner levels. This was excellent preparation for my move to France in September of 2007 and for my work as an English teacher's assistant in a French high-school. Although I was technically an assistant, I was still responsible for design ... read more

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 academic success in my own life. I believe that everyone has a different learning style and it is just a matter of figuring out what works for each individual person. I am patient, yet persistent. I allow students to learn from their own mistakes by not telling them the answers, but instead providing guidance and help when needed. My easygoing nature allows me to develop friendships with my students that are necessary for me to be an effective mentor.
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 ... read more

I like teaching by doing. I believe it helps the student when they can see what they are learning put into use. I am very patient and do no mind repeating things or explaining them in another way that the student understands. In my Spanish classes, I would often lead study groups of several students.
I have received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have worked for several years as an electrical engineer. One of my responsibilities as an engineer was to train recent college graduates. I wrote and taught new employees the basics of engineering. I would assist them on their first few projects.

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 t ... read more

My teaching style is personalized to the student. Each student has their own strengths and challenges and a good teacher will build on the former and mitigate the latter. I work with students to help them identify their areas of frustration and build confidence by setting achievable goals. I help students connect with and comprehend text by teaching and using reading strategies.
I have a strong educational background and teaching experience. I was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Tau Delta (the English Honor Society) while graduating Magna Cum Laude from Luther College. At Teachers College, Columbia University, I was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi, the Educational Honor Society. Through my student teaching, classroom teaching, supplemental teaching and tutoring, I have experience teaching students in nearly all K-12 grades, mostly in English language, literature and readi ... read more

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 in Italian language, and now can read and speak Italian with advanced conversational fluency. My senior thesis will be published in Milwaukee History.

A Little Bit About Me...

Every child learns differently. In a world where we corporately streamline everything so that it all comes out pre-packaged and exactly the same we often lose sight of how unique each person is. I find that listening carefully to a child's reasons for having difficulty can help you to better understand how to help them learn. I find that children are often given too little credit - especially children with special needs. All children can be more than the world expects them to be. I just enjoy helping them realize that.
My degree in psychology has enabled me to understand all children better, and to work especially well with special needs students. I have experience tutoring students from the ages of 3 to 40+. Subject-wise I have taught Writing, ESL, Spanish and Karate. I have even given self-esteem building talks to grade-schoolers and middle-schoolers. My experiences as a writing ... read more

Being overwhelmed with information that is just not making sense can be frustrating and most teachers don't have the time to give individual attention to each student. Ever student has different needs and I can help them focus on areas they doesn't understand as well as others. I can also show students that studying can be fun.
I have teaching and tutoring experience at the high school and college level. I love expanding their minds and sharing my knowledge with them. I will be a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Superior in just a few short weeks with my degree in English and Communications. I will be moving to Champlin just after the first of the year and am looking to continue tutoring.

I have a strong background in English, and am currently working toward a Master's degree at the University of St. Thomas. In addition to my strengths in academic research and writing, I have written solicitation letters and grant proposals for a nonprofit. I have tutored for seven years at three different institutions, including Normandale Community College, The University of Minnesota Center for Writing, and the Starting Point program for low income, first generation, and disabled college students at Minneapolis Community College. In addition to writing, I have helped students with reading, the humanities, and study skills.
One thing I have learned in my many years as a tutor is that each student is unique. I try to be flexible in my approach. With grammar and mechanics, I have found that a directive manner is often the best approach; sometimes, however, students require clar ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I became interested in tutoring during my three years of graduate study at Princeton Theological Seminary. Studying theology in my undergraduate and graduate work required me to invest strongly in multiple subjects such as history, philosophy, languages, politics and literature. This equipped me to tutor multiple subjects at various levels.
I greatly enjoy teaching children at all levels. Through a variety of approaches and encouraging persistence, I believe children can gain knowledge of and proficiency in all subjects. A multi-disciplinary approach ensures a child's growth has both depth and breadth. I aim to teach in a way that develops the intellect and cultivates the character of my students so that they become critical and virtuous members of and contributors to society.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have done a lot of teaching and tutoring, both with adults and young people. Most of my experience, though, comes from working with high school and junior high school students. I spent the majority of that time as a tutor/ mentor and would work with the students one on one or in small groups, both in the library or in the classroom. It was really the most wonderful experience and I was able to provide tremendous benefits to the students on both an academic and personal level.
I really do place something of a premium on being able to connect with all of my students on an academic and personal level. I believe that this helps them as they know that their teacher and tutor cares about them and their future and, as such, this causes them to grow and excel. I can attest to such things happening with many of my students and for that I am incredibly thankful.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is unique in that I make the learning experience a two-way street between myself and whomever I'm teaching. I allow students to teach other students.I shun lectures in favor of open discussion. Most importantly, I incorporate different learning styles into my lesson plan so that visual, kinesthetic, oral, and linguistic learners have an equal opportunity to assimilate the information.
I have tutored, supervised, and entertained children and students since the year 2002. My first job was a theater specialist position at a day camp which taught me indispensable communication and multi-tasking skills. I have since worked with students in a variety of settings, subjects, and media. This past year I've held two positions which required me to tutor "at risk" children in the areas of math, reading, composition, and anger management.
