Nancy H - SAINT CLOUD, MN 56304 (1.2 mi) - GRE Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I like to teach ESL from the Communicative Competence ideal. Integrating reading writing speaking listening into thematic units. Learning a new language requires hands on experience. If for example we are doing a unit on weather then my students may role play a weather man. Gather vocabulary from a newspaper. Count change as if they were really buying something. Read and write from a reporters perspective, or even travel to a museum with a reoprt and description of things they have seen using adjective and adverbs for color and detail. I also believe reading should be taught at the appropriate reading level for comprehensions sake. If a reader is below the 98% error level, they will not succeed. Frye's reading level test determines the reading level. Vocabulary is very unique in that there are many fun activities to spur children into acquiring a huge vocabulary. Word walls are

Nicole E - St. Cloud, MN 56301 (1.9 mi) - GRE Tutor - $32.00/hr.
At SCSU, I work as a writing consultant at the Writing Center on campus. With students, I help to make them better writers by helping answer questions, presenting questions, working through the brainstorming and paper-writing process, and helping with formatting. As well, I have helped to coordinate our second satellite location, which entails working with people on their schedules, managing conflicts of schedule, and serving as a head of the second location. I am also fluent in Spanish and feel comfortable tutoring high school and college levels. My teaching style is, for the most part, non-directive. I think it is important to try to have students answer their own questions. When this does not work, I do not just tell the student what goes where or why this doesn't work, I give reasons and have them tell me these same reasons the next time we come across something that doesn't work.

Laura B - Collegeville, MN 56321 (10.2 mi) - GRE Tutor - $39.50/hr.
While I have worked with a range of different students in many different subject areas, I have discovered a great love for the over-all tutoring experience. I began as a volunteer helping first graders learn to read and now I work daily with undergrad and graduate level college students, helping them with research papers, critical essays and thesis work. I take a special interest in helping my students get excited about their assignments and gain as much self confidence as possible in regards to their own capabilities and strengths. I have found that it is much easier to develop interest in a subject matter when it is presented in a manageable and practical way and once this interest is established the learning process can truly flourish. Throughout my studies at a liberal arts College I gained a great diversity of knowledge and skills in many different subject areas. During my second y

Rachael W - Cold Spring, MN 56320 (13.9 mi) - GRE Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I believe that the purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves, or to assist or guide them to the point at which they become an independent learner. I know that the content knowledge is an essential ingredient for a tutor; however, to be truly effective, i believe a tutor must combine content knowledge with empathy, honesty and humor. In addition I demonstrate a caring attitude. Caring consists of being organized for the tutoring session, being punctual and gaining the students trust. I studied post secondary in high school and graduated in the top ten of my class. I was on the deans list every year of my college career. I was a teachers aid at the University of Minnesota for three years in the anatomy department. I was a the lead embalmer for the University and worked for the Anatomy bequest program. I was licensed in mortuary science in 2007 and have been working as a fune

Kara L - Foreston, MN 56330 (23.8 mi) - GRE Tutor - $33.50/hr.
As an educator in the school district I have multiple areas of experience that include academics in math, science and reading. I also have experience in dealing with multiple levels of reading levels that are conducive to cognitive, behavioral, or emotional problems that prevent optimal learning to occur and have utilized mant techniques to help students achieve their individual goals. During my education I have learned multiple learning strategies that can be used to help individualize each student's progress. Working with children is my passion. I beleive that alll children deserve the tools necessary to be successful in academic and personal growth in order to be successful in the path that is chosen for themselves. I believe that with the right tools each student is capable of fullfilling individual success. I believe that over the years I have touched many students lives to hel

Elisabeth L - Melrose, MN 56352 (32 mi) - GRE Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I have recently received my Ph.D. in biochemistry from the laboratory of Prof. F. Peter Guengerich at Vanderbilt University. I am seeking a teaching position near my family in Minnesota. I was a chemistry tutor in college for two years and I have spent a great deal of time informally teaching in the laboratory in graduate school. In addition to teaching one semester at the local community college, I also mentored two graduate students in our laboratory. My approach to teaching science is to begin by applying the basic principles of biology and chemistry to everyday life. I believe it’s easier to understand these subjects when they are related to human health and current events. I also try to create an environment where students felt comfortable asking questions and open discussions are encouraged. Lastly, I am conscious not to overwhelm students with details and frequently pause to as

Harpreet B - Golden Valley, MN 55427 (51.6 mi) - GRE Tutor - $41.00/hr.
In 2001, I graduated with Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from one the prestigious engineering institutions in Northern India. I had always been a brilliant academic student, excelling in science and mathematics, and had tutored high school students in science/maths previously. After graduation, I started a training academy to tutor students in maths and science which eventually helped students to develop strong fundamentals in these subjects and apply for pre-engineering admission exams. Besides, I have excellent verbal and written communication skills and a positive attitude towards learning and training others. I also continued to improve my education level and completed my MBA in 2009. I strongly believe that all children can not only learn, but can eventually excel in their chosen field. All they need is proper environment, encouragement and training to achieve their academic goal

Leslie J - Saint Louis Park, MN 55416 (54.6 mi) - GRE Tutor - $40.50/hr.
Personally I believe in guiding the student through a topic until they reach self-discovery. I absolutely love watching a student grasp a challenging topic especially when I have directed them through the material and they reach the answers on their own. This facilitates a student's personal satisfaction/self-esteem and enhances their excitement for the given subject. This is incredibly rewarding for myself and the student. I am extremely passionate about all topics related to the biological sciences. I earned a bachelor's degree in Biology. During my undergraduate education I had the opportunity to enhance my ability to educate others and share the fascinating world of biology. I was honored with a teaching position in Osteology and tutored students in Cell biology and statistics. I had phenomenal success with my students and found myself tutoring fellow biology students in my own
