Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in South Saint Paul, MN

I have taken courses in almost all the Adobe Suite interfaces. I design t-shirts and use Adobe Products quite a bit. I have excellent communication skills and I have taken the coursework to be a Social Studies Teacher from the University of Wisconsin-Superior. I believe that presenting material that fits one's learning style is a key to success in difficult subjects. Patience and flexibility are 2 attributes I possess and I believe is must in teaching subjects to people who's learning style do not work well with the established regimen. Everyone thinks and processes information in an individual style and I believe in trying to find that style. I am a 56 year old retiree from United Parcel Service, so I come with a maturity and perspective that is unique among educators. I love people and helping them succeed at whatever they attempt in life. After all we are all in this together. A

I prefer a casual learning environment, one that includes appropriate humor and an appreciation for students' individuality. My most rewarding experiences as a teacher were when students who came into the class with an "I hate writing" attitude learned to use language to express themselves -- and had fun doing it. Many students told me, "I thought I'd hate this class, but now it's my favorite." As an instructor at Minnesota School of Business, I taught composition, business writing, technical writing, English grammar, and communication theory to adult students of all ages and a wide variety of backgrounds, including many ESL students. In a class of 20 students, writing ability ranged from negligible to excellent, so it was a challenge to keep all of them interested and to ensure improvement across the board. Since leaving MSB, I have tutored several ESL students in writing and grammar, m

As a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas, I have an English degree and am a few classes/credits short of a Business Administration degree. At Bethel University I pursued a Secondary Education teaching certificate. Seeing an opportunity to teach high school english in Texas, I pursued teaching and volunteer teaching while living and working in Texas. I have extensive experience in writing business letters, legal documents, and preparing and proofreading letters and documents in general on a day to day basis. I love to learn and help others do the same, whether it is helping a high school dropout pursue and finish their GED or teaching and mentoring children and young adults in volunteer settings; I love to teach, but more importantly, I enjoy trying to find the best way or creative ways to help others learn, understand and grow as people.

When in undergraduate school for physics I acted as a tutor for portions of my junior and senior years. I tutored students in general physics I & II, as well as calculus I & II. I would work with a particular student on a one on one basis to address specific questions that they might have on the subject matter. I very much enjoy education and working with children/young adults. Teaching is something that can and should be performed in different ways depending on the student. Everybody has their own unique learning style. I believe in visual learning and working through example problems to help develop better understanding. I feel that through a hands on approach students can and will meet their potential.

I believe in meeting each child at his/her current skill level and building confidence and concepts from there. Each student has his/her own strengths and weaknesses, and learns at his/her own pace. Rather than expecting all students to understand a concept using one teaching style, I teach a lesson using multiple modalities followed by step-by-step tasks which reward successive approximations to a concept. The students who catch on quickly can use the time to build on their skills and expand upon the concepts, while I work more closely with students struggling with the concepts presented. I do this because I care, and believe academic success and personal confidence are key to life success. Ten years ago, at just 14, I knew I had a calling to help others reach full potential in all aspects of their lives, and did something about it. At that time, I implemented a scheduled and drop-in tu

I have extensive experience in teach chemistry to students. In the past while at the University of Wyoming I had extensive one on one tutoring sessions with both college students and HS students (AP students). I have also tutored in math, and physics in the past also. First, I love helping people learn. I strive to show students and people that chemistry, math and science is all about a thought process and is something that everyone can learn. Teaching sciences is about helping and showing students how to approach the problems, and problem solve not to just solve problems individually. I also believe in using and finding many methods/examples to find how the student learns best.

I am not a 'stand and lecture' type of teacher. Students learn best by trying math skills by themselves or working with other students. I use web math applets frequently and math video clips which appeals to the digital-native students of today. This year I taught math at Community of Peace Charter school in St. Paul, MN. I taught 3 sections of 8th grade math to a very diverse student population. Approximately 25% of the students receive ESL services outside of the math class, therefore I learned the difficulties that these students have with math vocab and context situations. I dealt with the broad range of math skills by running a math workshop model during the classroom blocks. This was very successful and was well liked by the students.

As a grad student I did a great deal of lab teaching and physics tutoring as part of my teaching assistantship. I also taught a semester of undergraduate astronomy at both the University of St. Thomas and at Normandale Community College near the end of my graduate school years. I own an engineering consulting company (www.processdiscovery.com) that provides training, mentoring and consulting using Design of Experiments (DOE). Here my students are engineers and researchers. In addition, I run a church-based program called the Alpha Course for 6 years. During those courses, and I lead and teach one of the small groups. The students are middle-age to older adults. Education has to be interactive to be effective. I try to apply a Socratic approach when I work with students - to not provide answers but to draw out answers from the student by directed questioning. In the areas that I

I primarily use a question-and-answer technique. I am very adept at identifying when a student's understanding of a subject is not where it should be. I'm also an expert in using examples to explain a point. Especially when explaining technical things I can use non-technical examples to offer enlightenment. For example, while helping one of my sons learn college calculus I related first differentials to a police officer detecting speeders. I also have many years of experience and can provide examples for many learning experiences from my own background. I have a Bachelor's degree in engineering as well as an MBA. Both degrees were achieved with very high GPAS. I have a vocational teaching certificate from the State of Minnesota and have taught computer programming in vocational school. I've also spent many years as a project manager. In that position I was responsible for de

My style of teaching is dynamic, active and often visual. I demonstrate ideas and concepts either visually or by association, to bring a picture in the mind of the learner. I endeavor to simplify complicated ideas. I use demonstration, analogy and metaphor to invite the learners away from the fear of learning and into the realm of fun. I believe all people, young and old, are inquisitive and eager to learn. I believe roadblocks to learning can be removed with patience, understanding and acceptance of the person trying to learn. I believe there is great potential in all people and I strive to help them find their place in the world. I’m committed to bringing understanding and insight to each student I teach. I have fun!

During my time at the University of Minnesota, I have been employed at several different tutoring organizations. First I worked with K through 6th grade age children at Village Parks. While there my focus was to educate students in different cultures and languages, through games and physical activities. From 2001 to 2002, I worked for with Minneapolis Parks and Public schools to tutor high school age to adult students in basic scholastics abilities up to more challenging subjects. My most recent position was with Upward Bound, where I worked with high school students throughout the St. Paul Public School system. During my time there I was responsible for tutoring students in all subject matters up to post secondary classes. In addition, I thought college prep classes. Through these past experiences and my knowledge of mathematics, I feel I will make students succeed. My tutoring style us

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.
