I have experience with helping children with homework after school in the home as a babysitter. I also worked in a second grade classroom where I would help children who needed more time to grasp concepts especially in math, one on one, which helped me to develop patience and understanding and also gave me great tools to help explain concepts in many different ways until the child understands what the homework is asking of them.

I designed and taught a first-ever prekindergarten program at St. Anne School in Somerset, WI. I also directed and taught children's programs with the YMCA for children age birth through prekindergarten, having received the YMCA Focus Award for Excellence in Children's Programs. I directed the marketing and campaign programs for a school, which allowed me to utilize my expertise in writing, finances, community relations, as well as written and verbal communication. I have been a substitute teacher for all grades, most recently for grades PK-8th grade, including extensive one-on-one work with special needs children (speech, second language, autism, ADD/ADHD, physical, etc.)

I have always had a passion for helping others learn. In high school I tutored students from different schools in math. After graduating with two bachelor's degrees from the University of Minnesota I began working full time as a financial analyst for Target Corporation. At the same time, I started teaching part time at a learning center. In the past three years I have been able to help students of all ages from first grade through college. For the past year I have been teaching an ACT prep class for high school students.
I believe that every person has an optimal way in which they learn. Ideas that seem complicated can be made easy by simply changing the way in which it is presented. As a teacher it is important for me recognize how my students best learn and use that to present material. I also believe that students need to feel comfortable with their teachers. That is why I m ... read more

I have worked mainly with children, but enjoy teaching all ages. I tend to take a systematic approach and keep my lessons structured. I like to have students keep some sort of record of their practice time, as well as their progress. I also am a strong believer in making learning fun, so I try to listen to my students' needs and pay attention to their learning styles so I can create activities that they will not only find educational but fun as well.
I began teaching at a very young age. I began my own music lesson company which taught basic level of piano, guitar, saxophone and voice lessons out of my house before I began high school. After achieving my certificate of proficiency in Spanish from Hamline I then began to also privately tutor Spanish. I also have earned my TEFL/TESOL certificate and will eventually go abroad and teach English overseas.

I graduated from Bethel University in December 2006 with a BA in Elementary Education K-8 with a Middle School specialty in Spanish. I graduated magna cum laude (gpa of 3.8). In college, I completed a research paper written in Spanish about language acquisition in children. I also completed individual courses of both Kindergarten and Middle School education, two classes rarely offered at other universities. Since 2002, I have completed approximately 6 practicums at various intercity and suburban schools. I also completed 14 weeks of student teaching in fourth grade and first grade classrooms. I recently completed my first year teaching Kindergarten at Adams Spanish Immersion Magnet in Saint Paul.
My teaching style incorporates the Responsive Classroom model, in which proactive rather than reactive teaching is expressed. Students and teacher build a classroom community based on trus ... read more

I will graduate from the College of Saint John’s University this spring with a major in English Education. Classes I have taken at CSB/SJU include extensive English and Education courses and a continuation of Spanish education. I worked as a paid English tutor during my 4-year college career through Upward Bound Tutoring program. I fell in love with helping middle school and high school aged youth in a small group and one on one setting. I find my favorite moments of education to be in a one-on-one or small group setting. I hope to find more of those memories at your institution. I also participated in a summer internship in Katmandu, Nepal. I worked with the Whitefield School, teaching grammar, sentence structure and a writing workshop.
I am in the Education field to make a difference in student’s lives. I hope to do this through instruction and example. I believe these two eleme ... read more

10 Years of teaching Math experience at the Junior High and Senior High level. I taught Basic Standards Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and ACT Test Prep. Through my Master's Coursework, I integrated the Cognitive Tutor which was a computer program that assisted with the thought process in problem solving. Through the 5 years that I used it, students' interest in Math had risen while still competing with traditional chalk board styles of teaching.
My teaching style is one of real life applications, fun, and making it understandable. For example, when discussing slope, we can study downhill skiing or rooftops. When solving equations, I approach it from unraveling a number trick. I prefer to coach students on how to approach problems, and design which questions to ask themselves, rather than memorizing a list of techniques whenever possible. My funny and ou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a college grad who has tried different careers from tech support,tennis coaching ,elementary education. I was just laid off from my tech support job and planning to get back into the education field. I have a strong Spanish background since both parents are of Cuban descent and my dad was a Spanish professor. I am also a former college tennis player and I do a lot of coaching on the side including coaching my own daughter. I also have taken elementary education and have done a practicum. However, I am planning to get a special ed license and hopefully use my Spanish skills as well.
I have always had teaching in the back of mind when I was a tech support analyst. I enjoy teaching tennis to kids but would like to combine it with some classroom teaching in either Spanish or Special Education. I am very patient but also encourage kids to strive and believe in themselves. I have ... read more

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 in a language. This teaching and learning, as well as a number of courses on language acquisition, has really helped me to understand the most difficult problems when learning a language, and the most effective ways to overcome these problems.
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 fact ... read more

I am a licensed MN French teacher. I speak near-native French. I taught ELL to French children and adults in Paris for 4 years, and in the US have taught ELL and French to kids from the ages of 5-18, and also have taught adults in community education programs. I am happy to work with your student to target speaking, writing, memorizing vocabulary, understanding grammar... I offer the advantage of being a native English speaker first. I have been through the learning process myself and can often better explain it than a native French speaker can. (Imagine yourself trying to explain the present perfect tense to someone learning English!) I also speak Spanish (conversational) and am able to tutor beginning levels of Spanish.
I have a very communicative teaching style with languages, where it is important for the student to hear and speak the language as much as possible to learn ... read more

My primary objective is to help the student understand the material to the fullest of their extent. By achieving this standard I am confident that the student is able to tackle whatever topic it was that they were struggling with. To reach this point I first like to identify with the individual what is troubling them the most as all people have different learning abilities and difficulties. Once I am clear on what needs attention I proceed to cover the material utilizing different strategies until I find one that works best with the particular student. I go into every session believing that each student is able to succeed and that I can help aid in that process. It’s just as rewarding for me to see their achievement as it is for them.
