Read More About Emily D...

I have a gentle, empathic teaching approach that tends to ease the frustrations felt by those that are hitting a creative 'roadblock'. Because I have been a student so long, I understand the frustrations that can come from a class that you don't understand. I also understand the joy that comes with overcoming one's perceived challenges. No matter what one's ability level is, they have the potential to be so much more than they can imagine. It is my goal to provide the necessary tools & encouragement to take them to that next level of achievement.
I have been an art student my entire life & it has changed the way I look at things. Art can teach us so much about how to see the world because it forces us to look at things in different ways. My experience with Art Therapy in particular has shown me that the creative process itself can be a joyful & healing experience, no matter what y ... read more

I've been an artist my whole life and went to school for illustration and multimedia where I got the opportunity to learn under a Pixar story artist. My style ranges from caricatures to large scale wall murals and paintings. I'm a logo and tattoo designer as well. I also do video editing and production with a focus on preproduction and storyboarding. I love composition, pressure psychology, line psychology and color theory. I really enjoy teaching others how to draw, and believe that with practice just about anybody can create something great!

More About This Tutor...

While earning my BA in history, I was able to lean many aspects of history. My studies ranged from the Mild Ages to the 1960s and current. I was also able to intern with the Sherburne County History Center where I learned on the job techniques and how to interact with children. Though teaching was not my primary role at the History Center, I was exposed to many opportunities not only to teach but to help others track down their lineage.
Teaching comes easily to me especially with high school and college age students. I highly enjoy accelerated history, critical thinking and exploring the odd details of history. I tend to be a stern teacher with high expectations for students. This being said, I try my hardest to help students comprehend and understand the material being learned. I am fair and patient with others while also pushing them towards their goals. Outside sources and visua ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I worked as a camp counselor for 3 summers, and understand that everyone has different learning styles. Personally, I am a visual learner, and I understand that when teaching lessons it is important to incorporate all aspects of learning: touch, sound, visuals, etc. I am energetic and creative and would rather do hands-on activities to drive the lesson home than to sit and memorize lists forever. Since I have a deep understanding of the English language from my Greek studies, I can help students remember the meanings of words with creative mnemonic devices. My college classmates appreciated my input when it came to test time!
Attending a private liberal arts college taught me to push myself to be the very best I could be. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Classics with an emphasis on Greek, and a minor in English. I tutored for a January term Beginning Greek class, as well as whenever ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

At SCSU, I work as a writing consultant at the Writing Center on campus. With students, I help to make them better writers by helping answer questions, presenting questions, working through the brainstorming and paper-writing process, and helping with formatting. As well, I have helped to coordinate our second satellite location, which entails working with people on their schedules, managing conflicts of schedule, and serving as a head of the second location. I am also fluent in Spanish and feel comfortable tutoring high school and college levels.
My teaching style is, for the most part, non-directive. I think it is important to try to have students answer their own questions. When this does not work, I do not just tell the student what goes where or why this doesn't work, I give reasons and have them tell me these same reasons the next time we come across something that doesn't wo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

A teacher's passion for a subject is not only inspiring, but also contagious. I enjoy my own work so much so that I long to see others achieve the same joy and satisfaction. As such, I strive to be patient, understanding, and open to the various ways that children learn, and desire to work with them in the way that best suits their unique needs. I want to see students work at their potential, and will not hesitant to offer constructive criticism. I favor a hands-on approach to teaching, allowing students to explore, learn, and make decisions for themselves. I feel this is this most effective and allows for a more thorough and permanent understanding. I think learning should be an enjoyable as well as a necessary part of life.
I am a studio art graduate with focuses in Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking from Taylor University. I am also a passionate and practicing artist, enthusias ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that the purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves, or to assist or guide them to the point at which they become an independent learner. I know that the content knowledge is an essential ingredient for a tutor; however, to be truly effective, i believe a tutor must combine content knowledge with empathy, honesty and humor. In addition I demonstrate a caring attitude. Caring consists of being organized for the tutoring session, being punctual and gaining the students trust.
I studied post secondary in high school and graduated in the top ten of my class. I was on the deans list every year of my college career. I was a teachers aid at the University of Minnesota for three years in the anatomy department. I was a the lead embalmer for the University and worked for the Anatomy bequest program.

I am a firm believer in a student-centered setting with an emphasis on differentiation and rigor. Each student has a different learning style and a specific skill they excel at. I am very empathetic with interpersonal skills and can use the skills students excel at as an advantage to advance others and help a student discover their own potential for learning. I also believe that personal experience determines the way a student is going to relate to the material, so my goal is to promote ways to relate to it and get students excited about finding self-efficacy.
While working on my Bachelors, I volunteered in eight schools working one on one with students, small groups, and classroom settings for language arts. I also student taught junior high language arts. I received numerous teacher of the week recognition when I taught after school art classes. Since graduation, I have been ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The philosophy behind my teaching is to let the student guide their learning by relating information to their lives and interests so that it comes to life for them. Every student has the ability to do well if their learning is valuable to them. It is my goal to help students discover a passion for learning and work myself out of a job as they begin to take hold of their own education.
Beginning as a student working towards my TEFL certificate, I volunteered at Somali Adult Literacy Training and organization which teaches English to Somalis in the Twin Cities. I continued volunteering with the same organization for 3 years. I have worked with a variety of skill levels and taught students on my own. Additionally, I have completed a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at North Central University. My fields were Education and English, but I have taken Calculus, Physics and Chemistry, and s ... read more
