More About This Tutor...

I believe the best way for students to learn is by doing and discovering the material hands on as oppose to being lectured to. I like to instruct demonstrate the learning material to my students intially, but after that i prefer to have my students try the material themselves so they can see and understand what aspects of the material they dont understand. That helps me pinpoint what i need to focus on as far as helping them with a particular area of miscomprehension. I strongly believe in learning by doing instead of learning by seeing. I am fully aware that everyone learns in their own way so i am flexible in my teaching methods.
I developed my passion for teaching others from a a pre-college program I was in called Upward Bound. I learned study skills, time management and other skills that helped me excel in college. After college graduation,i obtained a tutoring position with t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although my experience as a teacher appears brief, I feel I have the knowledge in my subject to help students learn and enjoy science. I taught for one year as a High school Biology teacher at Bonner Springs Ks. I also taught as a Title 1 Teacher at Edwardsville Elementary in Kansas City. My wife and I moved here the summer of '10 for her OBGYN residency. I am currently working as a Software Analyst for MSB here in Wauwatosa WI.
Teaching is an art that requires two things: Passion and Preparation. A teacher, regardless of his/her subject of interest, should be passionate about his/her profession as well as organized and skilled in the art of teaching. I intend to nurture both of these characteristics before I set foot in a classroom for the first time and for all of my remaining years as a teacher. Teaching, in my mind, is about making a difference in the lives of others. My goa ... read more

Highly motivated, intuitive, and results-focused tutor

If you were to ask my students and co-workers to describe me and my work, you would hear things like: “extremely fast worker, high standards for quality, dependable and always meets deadlines, very easy to work with, eager to help you succeed, a positive, entertaining and enjoyable person to be around.” I am consistently inspired to learn new skills related to creativity. The breath of my skill set makes me a valuable tutor as I can perform many different duties. I would be grateful for the opportunity to speak with you further about the ways that I could create valuable learning experiences for this position and your child. As a newly retired educator, I am looking to continue sharing my love of learning with students in a small group setting. With many years of tutoring experience within the homes of students, I am an ideal candidate for this position.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 have found the best way to learn material is to relate it to real life. Material that is abstract doesn't last long and is poorly retained. Organic chemistry is my specialty but I can teach general chemistry also. Patience is also a virtue!
I have 12 years of experience in the Chemistry world and currently work for an international chemical company here in Milwaukee. I am looking to get back into teaching/tutoring. I have my PhD from Northwestern (Nanotechnology / Organic chemistry), Masters from UCLA, and Bachelors Degree from Mercer University in Macon, GA. I have tutored students at all the schools I have attended and have won many awards. I have a full CV if required.

A Little Bit About Me...

With my bachelor degree in Civil Engineering, I have developed a strong understanding and comprehension of math and science. I have tutored my younger brother in physics while he was in high school and three years ago as a Resident Assistant on a floor specifically for engineering student, I have helped my residents with their college level physics and some calculus classes. 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

As a graduate of Marquette University with a degree in biology, I have had an extensive amount of education. I have mentored and turored high school students through Upward Bound at Marquette, I was a teen coach teaching leadership skills through Urban Underground and have tutored personally biology, math, and reading subjects along with study skills. I love working with children I find it important that children enjoy learning.
It is very important that children enjoy learning at an early age. I like to give children the opportunity to be hands on and use as many learning supplies as possible from note cards to games. Learning comes with time so it is important to be patient and let the child understand they are important along with motivating them. Each child is different so it is important that you go with what works for that child.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my research-based M.Sc. study in Microbiology, I TA'ed three undergraduate courses (General Biology & Introduction to Microbiology). Over the years, I have become more aware of myself so that I can learn more efficiently. I scored well on my ACT (33) and my GRE (the grad school equivalent of the SAT - 690 for verbal, 740 for quantitative), and was able to attend well-regarded schools for my scientific training. I have many people to thank for my writing and analytical abilities, especially M. Nunley from Middlebury College.
I believe a good teacher will be able to convey the information in way best-suited to the student. A teacher can be extremely knowledgable, but the student must be enabled to learn through motivation and having the material accessible/understandable. I want to make sure the student is on the same page as me, and understands concepts/approaches to learning ... read more

Knowledge is not something to be horded. I think we each have a responsibility to share what we know. I love to help people understand. I prefer to teach by lecturing,but I realize that individuals learn subjects individual ways, and thus as a tutor my task is to be clear and patient. From working with different people at different levels, I also know that to be successful I have to be flexible and creative, adapting my teaching style to the students' learning ability and personality.
As an undergrad student at the University of Wisconsin, I worked as a writing assistant in the Academic Resource Center assisting students with reading, writing and grammar. I have home schooled my two children for over 10 years using an original curriculum as well as purchased curricula. In addition, I have volunteered for the past three years at the local public library, tutoring writing, reading ... read more

I have experience tutoring elementary school students on a voluntary basis. I tutored one student from kindergarten through fifth grade. Also, I provided assessment and tutoring for middle school and high school students in reading and writing.
I am very patient and caring with the students I have tutored. I am genuinely concerned about the success of students in the Milwaukee School system and their need for assistance in order to succeed.

Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own words what they are trying to say. When they speak aloud, the words flow, and then I say, "There is your opening sentence right there. Quick! Write it down." At other times, I ask them to pretend that they are really someone else, an actor in a television show, for example, and I have them imagine that the character, not they themselves, are speaking. This releases the student to let go of inhibitions and let the film roll "for the character" and then they stop focusing on themselves.

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

I have a passion for H.R. and this allows me to stay motivated, driven, and successful in my field. I enjoy working with and meeting people of all different demographics, from their education level, background, skills, experiences, and nationality to their respective income, education levels,and opinions. I believe everyone brings something different to the table and can create and foster new learning experiences. Although it took me awhile to find my career path, H.R. is definitely my baby and my niche! I have a strong passion for the English language and am an excellent speller. I am also good at writing and grammar.
My teaching belief is that every audience is different. Children do not learn in the same way that adults do, therefore there are two different methodologies to teaching each learning set. My method is to gauge what the learner already knows, how they learn be ... read more
