I graduated from Oregon State University this year with double Honors BS degrees in Earth Science (with a Climatology focus) and Environmental Economics & Politics. I also have a Minor in Political Science. My Honors Thesis, which is in the final stages of submission, is on the testing of a new variable mixing efficiency variable for use in our current climate models. I am an inductee of Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious college Honors Society in the US. In high school, I almost exclusively took honors classes and AP classes. I can confidently teach any subject that is taught in grade school. I have experience with AP tests, the SAT, and the GRE. I spent two years abroad during high school in Astana, Kazakhstan and come from a Russian background, so I am a native Russian and English speaker. As for tutoring experience, the closest I have is with the tutoring in elementa ... read more

Editor who can make you the best journalist possible!

Reporter, editor, online editor and/or managing editor for daily and weekly newspapers in Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio. I have had the privilege of covering politics, business, government, courts, police and community news; as well as feature writing. Additionally I taught JRN 295 for six semesters at Michigan State University.
It has been my experience that students (regardless of age) learn best when the lessons can be adapted to things that are relevant to their lives. Journalism takes in every aspect of life, so whether it is 3D printing, gardening or politics learning to apply the tenets of journalism makes one a better writer and thinker.

I believe all kids can learn with the right teaching methods

I have 17 years of special education teaching experience K to 12 grade and 2 years of elementary education experience as a 6th grade teacher. My specialty is reading, reading comprehension, writing and test taking skills. I enjoy using differentiated instruction to address the needs of my students. I believe that spelling and reading are the foundation for all other subjects. Last I build the students confidence through positive affirmations and motivation.
Hands on, artistic and technology based.

Writing Skills is one of my top subjects!

I have 15+ years of Excel and Access experience working mostly for Fortune 500 companies. In my last corporate position, I managed a team of analysts and consultants for a large health insurance company. I have since left that company to start my own Excel training and consulting company for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
I take a problem solving approach to teaching Excel. Rather than show you the basics without any context, I will ask you to bring me problems you are trying to solve, and we will work through them together. I believe that without applying Excel to situations that really matter to you, it's hard to retain the knowledge for long.

More About This Tutor...

The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to make lessons more fun and more significant. Rather than providing a mundane and meaningless list of facts, I explain the significance of the material by linking specific principles to larger themes. Towards these ends, I adjust my tutoring style to meet each student's academic and personal needs. I listen to my students, encouraging them to ask questions about the material I present. My background in mathematics enables me to provide difficult challenges for even the most able student, but I am also patient and thorough enough to get a struggling student back on track.
While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to stude ... read more

In 1991, I earned a dual Major BBA in Finance and Management Information Systems with honors. Concurrently with these degrees and taking 20+ credit hours per quarter, I was tutoring students in Financial Management, Algebra, and Economics. I have spent the past 15 years as an Entrepreneur while I also accomplished getting my MBA from the University of Chicago GSB/Booth School of Business in 2008. I have credible references that can attest to my personal tendency to teach.
I am inclined to teach at the high school or higher level in Finance and/or Small Business Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship and what that entails across all functions of a small business. My primary teaching style is to help the student understand the concepts rather than simply memorization. There are many ways to develop long-term conceptual understanding of difficult topics that I have learn ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that teaching is the most important profession in the world. Not only do I have the opportunity to shape young people’s minds and make them future leaders, I have the responsibility to do my best to assure their success. Student success should not only be evaluated through academic achievement but also personal growth. The most important job for a facilitator is to create meaningful discussions that encourage subject mastery and an opportunity for students to learn from their peers.
As an educator at all levels, I am interested in helping students achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished by providing opportunities for students to learn through their preferred method of instruction. Whether a student is in kindergarten or graduate school, it is the teachers job to facilitate and guide him/her to success. I am qualified to teach elementary and middle school ... read more
