I find that demonstration though example is the first step to understanding. This allows for an initial exposure to the material and plants seeds of knowledge. Adjuvant to demonstration, motivation and enthusiasm to learn the material must be taught. All the homework in the world cannot replace this! Regrettably, students often struggle due to poor instruction or vague textbooks which erode a student’s motivation. Fortunately this can be overcome with a little outside assistance. My long term goal of teaching is to foster a mature understanding of the subject matter. To master a subject it must be learned from multiple angles before the bigger picture is illuminated. Once a subject is illuminated it must be continually revisited for long-term retention.
To me education is a way of life. My academic career has been driven by a thirst for knowledge. I have earned a B.S. in Bi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with students and have excellent patience and communication skills. I also like to think of creative ways to help students learn if they are not understanding. I have found that the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will not only retain information longer, but they will become more confident in their own abilities.
I have experience working with a wide range of students, from K-12, as well as special needs. My specialty is microbiology, and have received a degree in cell biology from Marquette University. I have learned how to discipline myself when it comes to learning, and have been able to use that to help other students of all ages. I also volunteered this past semester tutoring at a Milwaukee Public School for second grade in ... read more

As a recipient of higher levels of education, I know the career opportunities that such an education opens up later in life. And I am motivated to share my knowledge and inspire others to access those opportunities as well. The first thing I do is to determine the level of learning that a student is open to and start there. That helps me to adjust my teaching according to the needs of the students. I am a patient teacher and I allow the students to reach their potential through gentle guidance.
Obtaining a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering has exposed me to advanced courses of Math and Science, two subjects which have always fascinated me. I have pursued and achieved excellence in these areas all through my school years and my post graduation career as an industrial engineer has only advanced my knowledge in these areas. English language has been a strong interest of mine ... read more

I am well versed in math and finance, as well as writing. As a high school student, I successfully completed AP Calculus I and II, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry. I also took Calculus II for Engineers at Johns Hopkins University, as well as a variety of finance courses at Goizueta Business School. I also have excellent grammatical skills, as I am a former Editor-in-Chief of a law journal. I presently work as a law clerk, and writing for a judge is something I do every day. I'm qualified to be a Spanish tutor because I minored in Spanish at Johns Hopkins, and also studied abroad in Madrid, Spain in 2005.
I first identify the student's strengths and weaknesses, and try to come up with a way to teach the student in a way that they will understand. I believe patience is very essential to having a successful outcome with the student.

I enjoy knowing that with my help a student could be able to feel better about what they are learning in their classes. I take great satisfaction in working through a tough problem and seeing the light of understanding in a student's eyes. I aim to feel more like a friend to students than a teacher, hopefully explaining things so as to not put a lot of pressure on the student, but nontheless to enable them to learn and feel satisfied with their own work.
I am just currently finishing a BS in Biology at Mount Mary College, with a 4.0 GPA. I have had experience tutoring students in the English language for about a year and a half through a service learning program at Milwaukee Acheivers held in conjunction with my school. Although I do not have any formal experience with tutoring in Biology I have often played an integral part in group student learning, and have helped many of my fe ... read more

I graduated from UW-Madison with a Finance degree and my MBA degree with an Investment Management focus at UW-Milwaukee in December of 2009. I tutored for nearly two years while at UW-Madison and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have current knowledge of financial concepts as I am currently enrolled in school and I believe this current knowledge would be an asset in aiding a student learn some of the financial concepts out there.
The hardest thing about teaching is determining how the individual student learns. I have found that all people learn differently so it is best to understand this process to make the teaching more effective. I like to challenge the individuals I tutor. I believe individuals perform best when they have to work hard for success. At the same time, I am easy-going, amiable and tend to get along with many different types of individuals.

My teaching background is mainly based on teaching piano to all age groups for the past 7 years. Teaching music to someone has required me to be extremely sensitive to the students ability, interest, and personal challenges. Over the years, I have gained the ability to analyze the strength and weakness of each students and deliver a personalized teaching style while constantly encouraging them to be more passionate about their learning materials. I also believe in having some fun while learning whether it is learning how to play a sports or how to write a math equation. In order to do so, I incorporate many different teaching materials to avoid boredom in learning and to provoke new interests in every lesson. When the students are having fun without much intimidation about the teacher and the subject, they can be more succeful at meeting their potentials.

As a student I enjoyed most the teachers who facilitated learning. Teachers who lead students on a road of discovery as they learned, who taught me how to think and not what to think. I model my teaching after the same style I enjoyed as a student. Helping a student discover for themselves the material not only educates them but fosters a passion for the subject at hand. Rote memory has it's place and is essential, but when a student becomes passionate about a subject, then the door is open for them to excel at it. I teach and tutor with the goal in mind to foster that passion, that drive and to be able to carry it throughout a life of learning.
I was an exceptionally driven high school student, taking the most difficult schedule my small private school would offer. My course work included AP calculus and AP US government, on both exams I received good marks. In college I st ... read more

I am an Alverno graduate, where I obtained a Bachelors Degree in Biology. Alverno College has given me the necessary skills and attributes to be successful in my chosen career field. Alverno has an ability based curriculum, which has taught me to effectively communicate with others. Analyze situations through my experience, training and reasoning. While effectively working well with others to problem solves different situations. Next fall I plan on applying to UWM for the Masters in Microbiology program for a goal in teaching.
I believe in helping the person to understand what they are learning not just remembering for a test. When I was a student at Alverno I made an a concsious effort to make sense of the material at had not just to know it.

I believe that the most effective teacher is one who guides the students to finding the correct answers. Instead of simply giving out answers, a teacher should encourage students and help them along the process for them to find out the solutions on their own. By overseeing this learning process and helping along the way, the teacher ensures that the student will learn that they are capable of learning the material and further increase their confidence in academics.
I obtained a strong liberal arts education where I was able to experience and learn about a wide range of academic topics. However, I have a strong focus and specialization in the sciences with a BA in both Biology and Chemistry with a Mathematics minor. Math and science has been a strong area of mine, as I was a Supplemental Instructor for a genetics course for two semesters, as well as being a Laboratory Assistant that ... read more

I have also taught tennis for two summers for the West Bend Parks and Recreation Department.
I am an easy going individual who attempts to make learning fun and relate it to real life examples. With physics and calculus, there are many instances when assignments can be very difficult to comprehend because it's difficult to see how a derivative or integral relates to real life situations. I do my best to try and simplify difficult problems into easy steps that a student would already know. I feel that the b ... read more

I use a variety of teaching techniques to help my students apply the fundamental concepts and theories learned in the classroom to everyday life. My main goal is to encourage independent thinking and analytical reasoning to promote high order thinking skills, not just memorization. By using the techniques described, I create a logical thinker that emphasizes teamwork. Although I always stress mastery of the information, I also stress the application of the knowledge. As I stated in my opening paragraph, I use the latest state-of-the-art technologies to aid me in my quest. I believe “seeing is believing” and I use virtual learning spaces and learning management systems to achieve this goal.

I love teaching in a hands on style in which the student not only has an algorithm of how to solve a specific problem, but has a thorough understanding of the concepts behind the algorithm. I enjoy having analogies or hands-on activities to demonstrate the concepts. I believe that many times people understand the basic concepts from physics in their daily life, but are frightened by equations. Using analogies or hands-on examples initially reinforces their knowledge and increases their confidence which decreases the fear of equations. Besides reduces fear, it improves their ability to share complex concepts with others in simpler terms.
