Social Studies and Creative Writing (English)

I like to challenge people to think outside of the box. Although I know it is important to know how to take tests and write papers appropriately, I also know that showing skills that go above and beyond, is what makes a student stand out. I will challenge your mind but in a way that will help to see the bigger picture out of the details, and will also help to shape you into a well-rounded, thoughtful individual.
I am currently a Sociology student at Augsburg College. I am also pursuing a minor in Psychology. This year will be my last, so I will graduate in 2014. Also, I have taken several creative writing courses at the Loft Literary center, as well as at my College. I received a 4.0 in my courses. Also, in high school, I was always a level above in all English and composition classes.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching for over twenty years, primarily Middle School Language Arts. I have also taught Head Start, fourth grade, third through eighth grade science, and kindergarten through eighth grade music. I earned my Master’s degree in Classroom Education with an emphasis in MS Language Arts. Desiring to help as many students as possible, I continued taking classes toward a Reading Specialist’s degree. I was unable to complete the last class, a practicum course, because we moved out of state. I was a science major in undergrad, so can also teach elementary science and math up to and including algebra. I love working with students and seeing them succeed.
I believe all students can learn and use my training and experience to adapt my teaching strategies to individual learning styles. Using student interests can help direct teaching that improves students’ enjoyment of le ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been very successful at adapting my teaching style to fit the age and subject that I am teaching. I am easily able to gain students respect and attention, which has also made me a very useful substitute.
After I received my degree in Elementary Education, I was a substitute teacher in IA for one year. I then worked, taught and advised at a small private college in Iowa. I have also owned and operated a daycare in my home for over three years. Currently have have spent the past two years as a substitute teacher for the Buffalo, MN school district. This is a job I love for the simple fact that I have variety everyday. It is also a great way to stay up to date on all subject matter. I am also in the process of earning my Master's Degree in Education.

More About This Tutor...

I am a very motivating teacher. I encourage my students to strive to do their best with the philosophy that they will be amazed at what they can accomplish. I try to get my students excited about the maaterial by incorporating fun stories, experiments, videos, or examples into the material. I am very patient and believe that repitition is a key to learning. I like to repeat what I am teaching in many different ways before my students are tested on the material; this seems to be successful.
My first experience tutoring was in 8th grade when my 6th grade math teacher asked me to help some of his struggling students. I greatly enjoyed the experience and wanted to continue. I didn't get another chance to tutor until my freshman year of college. I volunteered to help a young man who could not take notes for himself. As the semester progressed, he asked for my help in understandi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am different from most teachers in the fact that I have 23 years of teaching experience, spread throughout grades 1-8. I also have a unique background in Early Childhood Education, having spent one year at the St. Cloud State Campus Lab School’s Preschool, and more recently having begun a Preschool program at Guardian Angels School. In addition, I established a before and after school child care program, which I ran for five years. I see teaching as a vocation. My desire to leave the world a better place drives me to ensure that each student receives my best efforts. I have been told by many people that I work very well with students in one-on-one situations.
I want each of my students to reach their full potential, and have some fun along the way. The experience of twenty-three years in the classroom has taught me a great deal about how to address a wide range of skills and abil ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Just as we are all unique individuals, learning styles are uniquely individual too. We all process information and learn in different ways. For greatest learning success, teaching can be tailored to individual styles. Depending on the individual learner, styles can range from traditional to more discovery-based approaches. I believe in tailoring tutoring to the learner's unique style to achieve academic success.
Academic achievement shapes individuals and influences direction and outcomes in life. As a life-long learner, I believe in the power of education. I have earned a bachelors degree and a masters degree from private, liberal arts colleges. Through my diverse studies and report writing, I have gained extensive gramatical and communication skills. As a result of my education, I have been able to help tutor other students in their studies.

A Little Bit About Me...

This past year I graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College with a Bachelor’s in History and Medieval Studies. I have studied abroad at Oxford University, and in Rome and Romania, and have a lot of experience in writing research reports and essays. As a student of the liberal arts I have studied a wide variety of subjects, from theology to environmental science, from Old English to statistics and am comfortable in almost any subject. During this past academic year I tutored a home schooled child one on one several hours a week in world history and research methodology; I was in effect his sole teacher in the subject and also helped him improve his writing and study skills. For the past four years I have taught chess to children aged six to ten, emphasizing analytical skills.

More About This Tutor...

Since 1994, I have been working with 6th through 12th grade students in nearly every academic area. I have appreciated the many opportunities to prepare students for the ACT, develop mathematic computation skills, master the Microsoft office programs and speak with clarity.
My teaching style varies from student to student. I can utlize manipulatives, videos and other visuals or provide real life examples that simplify more complex information. I am a very patient father of 5, love students and seek to bring out their best. I will get to know what their best method of receiving instruction is and teach to that method.

A Little Bit About Me...

As recent graduate of Carleton College (magna cum laude), my experiences in the diverse fields of English and Cognitive Science over the past four years have given me a deep appreciation and enthusiasm for the unique license afforded by a broad liberal arts education, as well as the desire to share that enthusiasm with others. My past work experiences as a Writing Consultant, ESL Tutor, Teaching Assistant, and Student Departmental Advisor have all presented me with opportunities to hone my human relations and interpersonal skills. My experience as a Student Departmental Advisor and Teaching assistant allowed me to act as an effective liaison between department faculty and individual students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have over eleven years of experience with teaching and guiding students through their education. I have worked steadily gaining valuable experience. My undergraduate work in Education and English, along with my minor in Communication provided me with the foundations that I need to successfully teach and tutor in the field of English Studies.

My skills in communication, time management and the ability to develop clear lessons will transfer effortlessly to the tutoring field.

A Little Bit About Me...

In tutoring situations, I like to lead by example. I try to be an excellent role model by sharing with my students the methods I have used to achieve academic success in my own life. I believe that everyone has a different learning style and it is just a matter of figuring out what works for each individual person. I am patient, yet persistent. I allow students to learn from their own mistakes by not telling them the answers, but instead providing guidance and help when needed. My easygoing nature allows me to develop friendships with my students that are necessary for me to be an effective mentor.
I recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, one of the nation's elite research universities, so I feel that I now have a true appreciation for academic excellence. I earned a BA in Psychology with a minor in Jewish, Islamic and Near Eastern Studies. I will begin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught English as a second Language to first year undergraduates at University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. In addition, I did a summer internship at the Minneapolis school district as a student teacher, teaching English as a second language. I also did private tutoring, teaching English grammar and English Literature to middle school children in Sri Lanka. My career took me to the corporate world and I worked as a Financial auditor in one of the largest banks in the U.S.A.
In the past, I have made significant impacts on children as well as adults. For example I taught a group of Buddhist monks who had never learnt English previously, and who were rejected by other teachers. I began with teaching the monks the alphabet. By the end of the year, these monks exceeded the expectations set out for them. Another example is when two parents who never spoke English, wanted me to tutor their d ... read more
