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.

I enjoy watching learners succeed. I have the ability to diagnose learning weaknesses in a student, effectively plan a course to re mediate the student's learning weakness, implement a set of steps to assist the student to take the weakness and turn it to a strength building upon already mastered skills, and evaluate the success of the student's efforts and move on or re-teach based upon the student's needs. I have the ability to motivate learners so that they have fun accomplishing the goals set before them. But I am at the same time very task orientated and use a lot of behavior modification techniques in my approach.
After graduation from college, I entered the Peace Corps and moved to the country of the Federated States of Micronesia. I have lived in that area of the world for most of my teaching career. I have taught for over twenty years gaining experience on almost every l ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love working with children and with adults. I especially enjoy watching a child's eyes light up when something makes sense. I value the constructivist approach to learning and encourage learning through exploration. I provide as comfortable a learning atmosphere as possible, knowing that students learn best when the least stressed. I am confident each student can learn and succeed; I am determined to find the most effective way to connect a student with new skills and understanding, knowing that each person has a way he or she learns best.
My original interest was teaching instrumental music. Although I changed majors and ultimately graduated with a BS in Computer Science, I have continued my interest in teaching, first by volunteer tutoring during college and later by helping adults learn to speak English. I eventually took an intensive summer course in teaching English to spea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style follows my core belief – that all students can learn. I utilize a variety of teaching styles and techniques to achieve the best possible results with each student. Many students struggle in school for a variety of reasons, and I strive to make sure that each student’s educational needs are met in order for the student to achieve his/her maximum potential.
I began my teaching career after 10 years in another field. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature and a Master’s degree in Education. I have 5 years of teaching experience both at the high school and community college level. As an English teacher, I have extensive experience with all aspects of Language Arts, including grammar, research, and writing skills.

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...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I actually started tutoring while I was still in college, helping out one of the science/math teachers, and proctoring classes when she needed me to. I have a BS in Natural Science with a biology emphasis, from which I've gained knowledge in most areas of science and math. Besides helping to teach in college, I also was a tutor for three years, in several subjects including Chemistry, Algebra, Calculus I and II, Physics, and more. I also was a member of the English Honor Society, where I proof-read papers for students once a week.
Since I have tutored for several years, I've found that every person learns slightly differently. The key to how I teach is to figure out how that person best learns. There is no such thing as a stupid person, just one who hasn't been taught in a way that they can understand yet. I am a firm believer in never giving up on someone, particularly when I know ... read more

I taught one year of six grade in Hoxie, Kansas in 1977. After this, I entered Mennonite Voluntary Service and directed a tutoring program in Philadelphia for two years, training high school tutors, organizing the curriculum and matching students to tutors. Following this I have had a successful career as a Buyer -- then a Senior Buyer -- for over 20 years. However, I did not leave tutoring behind. I love Microsoft Excel, MS Word, and internet search programs to facilitate my position and would often tutor fellow employees in how to create files and work MS Excel. I loved basic Algebra in High School and have enjoyed using Algebra and my other math skills in business. I write lyrics, collaborate online with artists and help other artists by critiquing their lyrics. I would enjoy teaching English as well.
I have always enjoyed teasing and using humor in teaching all ag ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 various courses in creative writing as well as literature. I have written two manuals for jobs I held prior to teaching and was the "go-to" person for editing.
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 stud ... read more

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.
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.

In obtaining my master's degree in communication at the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State University, I have acquired the necessitated skills for this position. I was a graduate teaching assistant and taught interpersonal communication and public speaking. I was also hired by the Communication Upward Bound program to teach English literature to high school students.
I believe every person has her or his own learning style. The best way to get a child to understand her or his own potential is to get to know each individual student. It takes a little more time, but making sure each student knows I care about their individual success has enabled me to teach those who never thought they would be able to speak in public to do so. I also have student evaluations that can speak to my teaching abilities. They are available upon request.
