Honor Student hoping to help students achieve success

I never learned best when I was just asked to read a passage out of a book. I need to be able to apply what I am learning and understand why what I am learning is important. I will do my best to tutor students in a more hands-on manner.
Hello! My name is Kayla Bear. I am a first-year student at Purdue University; however, I am a sophomore according to my credit hours. I earned college credit in high school to get ahead of the game. I worked as a peer mentor throughout high school, helping students with their homework and helping prepare them for tests such as the SAT. I have taken a number of courses in various subjects, so I feel that I am able to help a wide range of students. I was editor of my high school yearbook last year, so I have a lot of experience training people in writing and grammar. I was also asked to tutor Statistics for Purdue University due to my high achievement ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Jefferson High School in the spring of 2012. I now attend Indiana University-Purdue University in Fort Wayne. I have two younger siblings and 4 younger step-siblings that I have helped with their homework, or helped them better understand material assigned to them. Their ages range from 8-17. I know how to explain certain subjects in multiple ways to ensure that eventually the student will understand the material. I am very patient, and I understand that some people learn at slower rates than others. I am majoring in nursing, though I considered teaching English before making this decision. I love teaching, and am looking to make some extra money for things I need while in college.
My teaching style varies upon subject and student.

Writing is one of my top subjects! For three years I taught high school seniors in an Advanced Composition class where they were being "trained" in the specific paper styles that are found in college classes. I am well aware of the writing process and the different types of papers colleges and high school require for graduation.

I am a very hands-on learner, so I tend to try to make things as hands on or as real to life as possible.
Since graduating from Baptist Bible College in 2006, I have been teaching high school English in Indiana for six years now. I taught three years at Bethesda Christian School in Brownsburg, where I spanned English 9, 10, 11, Senior Speech, and Advanced Composition for seniors. In 2010 I began teaching at Faith Christian School in Lafayette; there I taught English 9, 10, and 11. I was also the Yearbook Advisor two years at Faith. July 1, 2013, I had my first baby, and I have decided to stay at home and raise her instead of returning to the classroom.

I love teaching. I care deeply for my students and their individual learning needs. I am able to combine an inviting learning environment with good disciplinary tactics. I am excited about teaching and about learning. Learning never ends. I am ready to learn as much from my students as they learn from me which provides an avenue for growth in both the teacher and students. I strive for success in my students, encouraging them to do their best and work toward their greatest potential.
Having two wonderful elementary teachers, I was inspired to become a teacher. I graduated in 1988 with an Elementary Education degree. I began my career as a teacher's aide but soon decided to be a stay-at-home mom to my two children. In 1994, I began to home teach my three children. I graduated my youngest in 2008. In 2004, I substitute taught for two local school districts. In spring 2008 I renewed ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent Purdue University graduate, I have had the opportunity to learn about the most current and effective teaching strategies. I have worked with students who range in ability, from children who are highly-abled to children with special needs. My previous experience includes being a babysitter, camp counselor, daycare provider, Sunday School teacher, mentor, tutor, teaching assistant, and I have had multiple classroom experiences through my Purdue courses. I also taught a summer chemistry class for highly-abled elementary students and student taught in the first grade. The most rewarding part of teaching is seeing the progress that students make each day! I love working with children and continually seek opportunities to do so.
As a teacher, my job is to meet each student’s academic needs through instruction based on their individual learning style. My responsibility is not ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am currently a graduate student in Political Science at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. I have taught a public speaking course to undergraduate students at Purdue for the past year. I also have experience working with younger children and with special needs students. I have a B.A. in Political Science and Classical Studies from Drew University in Madison, NJ, and I worked for some time as a director and dramaturge in the New York/New Jersey area professional theatre community.
My public speaking class is extremely participatory, both so students can gain experience speaking in front of an audience and because this format seems to keep students more interested in the material. My experience teaching children in theatre was also very participatory. I believe that students learn best when they can understand a given concept from several different angles. I also believe that ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My main goal is to help students develop confidence and competence. I believe every student has his or her own particular gifts, talents, and skills, and it is my duty as an educator to inspire them to utilize their potential. To this end, I strive for subject mastery, critical thinking, and problem-solving. In the end, I expect excellence from my students, but I also deeply value growth. My ultimate goal is to produce students who are properly knowledgeable in the subject matter, engaged in the learning process, and excited about applying this learning in their own lives.
I love to write. As a pastor, professor, and playwright, I have actively been writing for the past ten years. I have written hundreds of sermons, lesson plans, papers and newsletters. I have also written five plays for young adults, one of which was published. I earned a master's degree in Divinity, a bac ... read more

My teaching style is helping the student arrive at the correct solution. In problem based courses this is usually done through asking the student what they think the next step should be and guiding them through the process of problem solving. Once they start to understand problem solving then they do not only improve in the course that I am tutoring them in but in their other courses as well. In a nutshell I try to help students learn how to learn.
I tutored all through college. I have tutored one-on-one and small groups, and I have also been a TA and taught a few class periods. In addition i tutored a student in High School in several subjects. Most of my experience tutoring has been in math, physics and engineering, but I am also fluent in Spanish.

I started working in classroom settings in high school. I had three cadet teaching experiences in preschool, second grade, and seventh grade. I also graduated from Anderson University, where I started classroom practicum experiences in my second semester. During my first year out of college I have worked with ESL students, students with special needs, and led guided reading groups. I have also worked as an after school tutor in Math and Reading.
I love working with children, especially when they finally have their "Aha" moment. It is my belief that all students learn differently. My goal is to figure out how a student learns best, and then create lessons that teach to their specific style of learning.

All of these positions have helps me with my communication skills, both written and verbal. I have taught students in English, math, reading, creative art, music and science.
I enjoy working with students of all ages. Currently I teach Pre-Kindergarten, but have expensive experience working with middle school and high school students. I am very patient and understanding. I love to make learning fun and practical. The best moment in teaching is when a student has an "ah ha” moment where everything just clicks. I strive to make that difference in a student's life.
