More About This Tutor...

Patient. Positive.Encouraging. Keeping it light. My primary aim would be to build the student's self confidence and image. Encouraging enthusiasm for the subject matter,by making it more receptive,would be an additional desired outcome. I would place special emphasize on promoting the need to read,write,and speak well, regardless of the subject. Teaching critical thinking would also be a goal. An instructor can't really teach a student. But the pupil can be given learning support and the tutor can plant the desire to pursue the individual's own education at their own pace, by providing the right guidance.
I have a B.S. in Education from NIU,Illinois. Graduate work at Northridge State,CA. I'm a volunteer tutor at Mary's Place/Sharing and Caring. I've been a Reserve Teacher for the Mpls Public schools specializing in Special Ed. for five and one half years. I'm a history judge every ... read more

I also know Lindamood-Bell(r) and several other programs.

A Little Bit About Me...

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. My teaching style would be described by others as friendly, firm and yet very creative but thorough.
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.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching, working with, and learning with children. Children have different learning styles and temperaments and I try to adapt my teaching to these differences. I am creative, patient, and enthusiastic. I firmly believe that children can learn more when there is support or scaffolding from good educators such as myself. I am also sensitive to cultural differences in learning. All children can learn and develop if provided with the right environment, experiences, and social interactions. My goal is to make learning fun and to encourage children's natural sense of curiosity and wonder.
I am a life-long learner and have two master's degrees, one from Harvard. Because of my deep interest in how children learn, I also have a degree in child development. As a teacher's aide in a public school kindergarten, I spent five years tutoring children in reading, writing, math, scie ... read more

I enjoy educating children and providing them the resources to promote their academic understandings. I believe that patience, experience and communication is the greatest key in teaching children. I understand that each child learns a subject through a different style than another child. Therefore, I take the time to know the child as an individual student then implement lessons according to the strength of his/her learning styles. Children are our future; what we teach them today determines what they will know in the future.

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more
