A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught for years in the public school system in Kansas. I have also served our great nation in the military, and am proud to a United States veteran. I am an avid learner, and have been my entire life. That allows me to have a unique perspective on tutoring others, for I have struggled in many areas of my education, and know how to get the point across better than most.

More About This Tutor...

I teach English as a Second Language in the evenings to adult immigrants in the Wichita area. This is a very rewarding experience; the students are eager to learn, and grateful for all I can share with them. My reputation as a good teacher has resulted in some individual requests for private tutoring. One family has called upon me to tutor their sons in grammar and reading comprehension, as well as to help them with various papers as they progressed through middle school, high school and college coursework. My qualifications include an M.A. degree in Education, and a B.A. degree in Psychology. My experience is varied; in addition to teaching, I have worked many years as a Program Consultant for the Kansas Department of Corrections.
I love sharing what I know with my students, from elementary to college levels. I am patient, caring and flexible to work with my students’ individual n ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been tutoring my entire college career. All of my students received the grade that they were wanting and quite a few students even recommended me to their peers. I began tutoring one student a semester privately and was eventually recruited to tutor for a University program. While tutoring for the program I tutored 7 students one on one and ran a help room where I assisted many more. I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering so I am quite familiar with most math and science subjects. I also graduated from high school with an International Baccalaureate diploma so I am more than capable of tutoring any high school level material.
Since I've been tutoring I've helped around 50 students individually and have developed different teaching styles to suit different students. I am aware that each person learns material in a different manner so the teaching style must be adapted to sui ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Each student has his or her own unique learning style. A successful tutor is one who can tap into the individual learning styles of his students, no matter how diverse they may be. Only then will a successful communication channel be achieved. I am a true believer in communication, without it success is inhibited. I have achieved great success over the years because I possess the ability to understand the learning styles of my students and create a successful communication channel. As a result, my students are filled with confidence; no challenge is impossible. They are able to progress into the future without fear. This is what fills me with great pride and fuels my determination.

More About This Tutor...

Teaching, in some form, has been a part of my life for the last 20 years. During that time I discovered for myself that students learn in different ways. I believe in a positive and encouraging teaching style utlizing varying explanations. I love instructing one on one and seeing the lightbulb turn on when a student gets it. I am reliable, easy going, and eager to make a difference in lives, one at a time.
After obtaining a BA in Business Ad, becoming a CPA, and working ten years as an accountant/auditor, I focused my skills towards teaching. I taught accounting and business math 4 yrs at a business college and community college. In addition I have used extensive grammatical skills in writing audit reports and business letters. I also have many years volunteering in various children's programs. Most recently is five years as Children's Teacher/Supervisor of a weekly prescho ... read more

I had never thought myself a teacher until I began my Masters in English. As part of program, graduate students could teach, and in doing so, the university would pay tuition and a minor stipend. From day one I was hooked. For me, connection with students is the thing. I want them to understand, to excel. I look for the right method for each student and point them towards the building blocks of writing, making sure they learn each step before moving on. In that way, success is assured.
I have taught English at the University level for five years and the High School level for six months. I worked as a freelance writer for CBS, Brite Voice and its 600 clients for eight years. I've written for the "Wichita Eagle" newspaper and for the Wichita State University student newspaper, "The Sunflower." For the past five years, I have worked tutoring students in the writing lab at the universi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been very enthusiastic about learning and always find myself helping others to discover a deeper understanding of a subject. During my time tutoring math, I discovered that there is a necessary balance to allow the student time to process the material without allowing them to get frustrated and giving up. I believe in stretching their mind while providing support to the necessary skills to accomplish the goal at hand. I do great with children. I have often participated in the children's ministry at my church and enjoy the opportunity to teach on that level. Overall, I am very relaxed, considerate of others feelings and willing to spend as long as is necessary to work through the task at hand.

My teaching style varies depending on the student I am working with. I try to build new skills using prior knowledge and interests. There are several different ways to explain an idea. The trick is finding the right one that the student will understand. Sometimes it takes a few tries before the student "gets it." I never give up on a student. I believe everyone can succeed with the right motivation and support. Once the student gets the concept, I let he/she work more independently while I step back as an observer of the learning. I am there to lend support when it is needed.
I taught freshmen and sophomore English for three years in an urban high school. Before I graduated from Wichita State University, I spent three years student teaching and volunteering. I have always loved writing and reading and have a high understanding of grammar and literary terminology. I have taken vario ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a pastoral minister for 25 years, have taught refugees English as a Second Language, have taught community college courses as an adjunct instructor, have taught innumerable courses within the congregations I have served, including an after school tutoring program for young children. I am competent to tutor in English (all levels), history, and social sciences and love interacting with students.
I love interacting with children and teenagers. I have worked with all kinds of students-- those who are developmentally challenged, those from different cultures (I have traveled broadly in Latin America and Europe and lived in the MIddle East - in Iran- during '07 and '08), those with behavioral challenges, and those who learn quickly. I am warm and interactive while holding the student accountable to keep learning and achieving.

In any area I am able to translate my knowledge or find creative ways to express the concepts so another individual may understand. This ability to articulate ideas comes across in a friendly, excited, fun way. I would never make anyone feel inferior or less than smart in the way I teach. I attribute this to my siblings' personal struggles and a sensitivity to them.
I graduated magna cum laude in art, and excelled in all of my classes. At university you write papers in almost all your classes, not just English, and in every class my professors commented on my writing skills. I have often proof read friends and colleagues papers and other writings. Also, I received 100% in my college algebra class and statistics. My teaching style is conducive to learning.
