I have been a piano teacher for 29 years, teaching privately in my home studio. I am insatiable in my pursuit of knowledge, and have wide interests. My first degree in history and philosophy influenced me in how I approached all other fields of study. I am never satisfied with a superficial knowledge of anything I undertake. My experience with other cultures has been a huge influence in how I approach knowledge and how I approach teaching. I lived in Quebec, Canada for 29 years, learned French and studied in a French university. I also speak German. I am an excellent writer in English. Anything I have ever submitted for publication has been accepted. The best validation I have for my teaching style is to watch my students. They are well-rounded in their knowledge and confident in their performance. I believe in enabling my students, showing them skills that will help them bec

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 have over 40 years of work experience in full-time and contract accounting positions in the Twin Cities. The industries range from large and complex public school districts to small insurance environments to manufacturing and service firms. I taught beginning accounting for a couple of years at a local private college. I also am a published musical composer and have a moderate knowledge of German. My style is one of collaboration - I learn as my clients might. I am patient and love to use examples and analogies. I am never satisfied until "all the lights are on", so to speak, and will find whatever means it takes to elicit student understanding.

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, individually or in groups. I find the Socratic method most useful, and with children this translates into making the subject (i.e. German grammar) seem like a puzzle that, with some effort, can be solved. I think students are best served when they can discover these answers for themselves. I have a BA in English and a Master's and Ph.D. in German (Germanic Linguistics). I have taught English literature as a substitute in junior and senior high schools, college level German, linguistics, English reading and writing and English as a Second language. I have taught and tutored children and adult learners. My teaching experience has been in Germany, California and Minnesota. I also tutored ACT/SAT in Minnesota.

Last year I was a long-term full time French sub-teacher at the International School of Minnesota for a wide range of students, PS till HS. I am still a sub-teacher at that school. I am tutoring French and German. Being a French native speaker I love teaching "my" language at any level, from PS to HS and adults. At home I speak French to my children. I am very confortable with German too as I speak German with my husband. Everyone has different learning abilities but I believe that given the right "t

Ever since elementary school, I have known that I wanted to spend my life in the Physics field. Academically, it enabled me to excel in my Physics science courses I enjoyed the work so greatly that I would strive for perfection, and often do more than was required. I have been involved in a number of research projects that allowed me to use the theory that I learned in class in a more practical manner. In addition to the results of the research, I increased my research skills and learned how research projects work, which is aiding me as I pursue my Ph.D. Through my Physics related employment, I learned many aspects of the Physics field that only come from being in the workforce. The work habits and experience I gained there will help me in whatever I pursue in life.

My goal is to provide the best educational experience possible for any student I would teach. I would do my best to vary my approach for different subjects, and to provide a variety of experiences and settings. My desire would be that the student would enjoy learning as much as possible, because the more they enjoy it, the more motivated they will be to learn, not only when I am with them, but also on their own. I am very relaxed and friendly, and although my style is somewhat informal, I would still expect excellence from my students. Ultimately, I want every student of mine to be successful, as defined by them and their parents. I have shown that I am both an excellent student, and very well qualified to teach others. I have two bachelor degrees, a BA in German and a BSN in Nursing, which has provided me with a well-rounded education in both the liberal arts and the sciences. I d

As the grandson of a French immigrant to the US, I have always shared a close connection to France, it's culture, and beautiful language. After falling in love with French film I added French as a second major, graduating with a BA in 2007. During school I had the opportunity to substitute teach middle school and high school students. After graduation I taught underprivileged high school students in a summer program and moved to France the following fall. While in France I taught conversational English to post-secondary students for a year. As you can see from my experience, I am comfortable with working with students of all ages. My goals in teaching are to stimulate interest, provide real life applicable skills, and facilitate cross-cultural understanding and communication. I believe that students can best achieve these goals through interactive and communicative means. In order

I believe that, when learning a language, the most important thing for a student is that they feel comfortable enough to have confidence to speak. This confidence can only be reached in a relaxed environment where the student does not feel judged or threatened. Therefore I make it a priority to communicate with the student and be flexible enough to work best with them. Another vital factor in learning language is that the student is interested. Therefore, my lessons are not just filled with boring explanations and impossible problems, but I give the student interesting facts and plenty of opportunity to see the progress they make. Having studied German for nine years, my interest in and understanding of language has definitely grown. Learning different languages has always been a fun and rewarding pastime for me, and it is even more fun and rewarding to help others gain proficiency i

I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am enrolled in a doctoral program currently to earn my Ed.D in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. I have a great amount of experience in research and writing and have been teaching at-risk youth for 2 years. Primarily, I teach all Social Studies classes. However, I am very comfortable tutoring and teaching English, Composition, and Science classes such as Biology, High School Genetics, and Anatomy. Every child and adult learns differently. It is imperative that adaptation to an individual's learning style is addressed. I truly believe that everyone can be successful academically. I want my students to learn within their own comfort zones. I strive to create as many avenues to learn as I can so that each student can be successful.
