Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Shelly, MN

During college, I discovered how much I truly enjoyed learning, and that drove me to take every elective course I could fit into my class schedule. I hold a BA in Biology, with a minor in Spanish. I also participated extensively in the music program as a pianist, participating in recitals, accompanying soloists & groups, and teaching piano lessons. I truly enjoy helping others learn, and enjoy the challenge of finding the best way to help them learn. I have a patient, friendly, outgoing attitude & have worked with students from age 7-17.

As an Elem. Education teacher...I've have grea opportunities to work in a variety of settings and work with many families and their children. My emphasis is in the lower grade, and Early Childhood---BUT enjoy grealy working with grade 4-6 as well. I have expensive patience when it comes to working with students who "need the extra help". I haven't had SPECIFIC tutoring experience but working with students one-on-one from a variety of grades have allowed great experiences. I do have a high interest in math...along with reading (because of my Title I credentials in the Math/Reading areas). I would love to have the opportunity to share my skills with students that need them!! I do believe that all children learn differently and my FIRST goal is to find out how that child learns best and go around the child's needs---not expecting the child to learn how I teach and limit that child.

I see my job as that of facilitator: the student is there, the information is there, and the student is the learner. I'm just there to guide, explain, provide details, clarify, relate new information to existing knowledge, etc. The student has to be "in charge," so to speak. I can't force knowledge into someone's mind, it has to be learned, but I can help make that information real and relevant to provide the motivation to learn. I'm very attentive to affective factors (stress, irrelevance, animosity, etc.) that can impede learning, and I strive to provide a learning environment that will foster a love of learning and scholarship. I want to make a difference in the lives of our youth and provide them with the tools and opportunities to succeed. During my time at Concordia College, I was a strong tutor and office manager for the Reading/Writing Center, helping with composition in both

I have always loved the school environment. I have always been focused on learning as much as I can and this passion for learning has helped me get a bachelors degree in chemistry and learn how to speak, read and write Russian. I try to share what knowledge I have with others. I wrote a chemistry study guide for organic chemistry to help students learn the complex subject. Currently I tutor calculus and algebra on-line. I love doing this, but would also prefer more of one on one face to face kind of setting. I can tutor chemistry, calculus or algebra and would love doing so. With the right teacher who has the right attitude towards teaching, any student can be taught anything. The best types of teachers are the ones who make a subject, as Einstein might say " as simple as possible, but not simpler." They are the kind of teachers that can motivate a student to want to improve themselve

I have homeschooled my son, who has ADHD and doesn't take medication, from Kindergarted to 6th grade. He is now in school and is a virtually an A student. I can teach just about any subject, even subjects I do not have an education in, for example, the last two years, my son had a desire to learn Latin, so I taught him Latin as I learned it myself. I really enjoy awakening a child's passion for reading and writing. I enjoy teaching kids who are have different learning styles. I beleive that all students have a unique learning style, and that a good teacher can figure out how to reach a student. If a student does not understand a subject or concept, I employ different methods (visual, hands-on, abstract, manipulatives) etc. I am extremly patient, and don't believe that students are smart or dumb, I believe all students can learn equally well,if their strengths are tapped.

I am an industrious and creative teaching professional with the ability to teach, motivate, and instill a love of learning in others. I feel the desire to make the most of every moment to ensure these students get the most from the experience. I plan a variety of creative and hands-on lessons to involve the students in learning. I continually search for new ideas and resources to bring into the classroom or session to ensure each student learns and excels. I am eager to apply my teaching skills and true love for students. I have had a variety of work experiences in the past ranging from resident assistant, teacher, counselor, and multicultural tutor. These experiences have lead to the building of invaluable skills such as organization, prioritizing, adapting quickly to challenges and changing environments, and strong self-management skills.

I try to utilize many different styles of teaching methods as everybody learns information differently. I believe that one will learn more quickly if they are able to do the task themselves rather then watch the task be done. I also believe that we all learn through our own mistakes much faster then trying to learn from anothers mistake. When I began my college education I declared pre-med as my course of study. Unfortunately, since I had to work to put myself through school, I became burned out my the countless hours of work. When I was no longer having fun in school, I decided to switch majors and declared History. History can be very interesting coursework and also allowed flexibility in further education if I decided to persure more higher education.

I have one year of experience teaching children. This experience was teaching a nutrition and wellness program designed by Fargo Cass Public Health to elementary age children. I have a BS in Community Health Education, which has given me the skills to design, implement, and deliver many lessons on health-related topics. As an intern at the Alzheimer's Association, I was able to teach professionals and the community about the disease. I also possess excellent grammar and reading skills as the result of writing many research papers. Currently, I help people with disabilities find employment. This allows me to practice my writing skills on a daily basis as I compose notes on the service I provide to my clients. I also teach them skills such as resume writing, how to talk to employers, and how to improve typing speed. I believe that all children learn differently, and if each child identifie

I am a very interactive teacher and connect easily with the students. I am able to see the potential in each child and can work wtih the individual to help them succeed. Building the child's confidence is the most important goal I have as it allows them to focus on the skill they are trying to learn and they are willing to take risks and open their minds to learning. I would enjoy helping making an immediate positive impact in each child's life. I tutored elementary students at Bennett Elementary School in Fargo for a year, helping them with reading skills and work. As a professional communicator, I have worked in broadcast and print journalism and have been a professional writer for 17 years. I have extensive writing and grammatical skills. I have worked for reputable companies, such as Microsoft, as a marketing manager. On a personal level, I have taught Sunday School to ages 3-

I believe in hands on learning and demonstrations to learn scientific concepts. Mathematical work requires repetition and understanding of equations to obtain a concrete understanding of the material. I believe that every student has their own way to learn material and I design lessons to appeal to multiple types of people. I am an MSUM graduate Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Earth Science Teaching. Throughout my college career to obtain my science teaching license, I have had multiple field experiences teaching classes and tutoring individual students in the field of science. My peers often turned to me for help in classes, because I was one of the top students in my classes with excellent social skills.

As a graduate with a Bachelors Degree in Education, I have a great diverse experience with children and families. I have volunteered my education experience and worked at many places including preschools, kindergarten centers, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and early childhood centers. I also have been involved as a juvenile tracker for Lutheran Social Services where I had to earn each juvenile's trust and help them become more responsible and be able to positively deal with school and life in general. I have served as a tutor for many years in all subjects for students in grades 2 through 8. I greatly love teaching and anything that enables a child to feel proud about themselves in a positive manner. I believe that there is not one teaching style available to all students. I feel that to truly become an effective teaching, one must get to know each student individ
