Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Circle Pines, MN

My style of teaching is dynamic, active and often visual. I demonstrate ideas and concepts either visually or by association, to bring a picture in the mind of the learner. I endeavor to simplify complicated ideas. I use demonstration, analogy and metaphor to invite the learners away from the fear of learning and into the realm of fun. I believe all people, young and old, are inquisitive and eager to learn. I believe roadblocks to learning can be removed with patience, understanding and acceptance of the person trying to learn. I believe there is great potential in all people and I strive to help them find their place in the world. I’m committed to bringing understanding and insight to each student I teach. I have fun! As a Supervisor, and later as Safety Trainer, for the Phone Company, I was called on to present and educate employees of the Phone Company (QWEST) 1970 - 200

I love teaching student who needed help to the best of my knowledge. I believe that everyone is able to learn and reach their goal in their own way or with a little help. I am skilled at working with students who need help; I am highly motivated to provide information and solutions to potential and existing leaning methodology. I have developed numerous skills set in the area of quality control testing and reviewed documents under the general guide line and established protocol which abide by the FDA. Although my career was based in industrial analytical chemistry and biology, I also voluntarily tutored my nephews, neices, my wife, and groups of Oromo student at my community with math, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology and general biology both at high school level and college level.

I Love Mathematics and I love to help children gain an understanding of the joy in mathematics. I try to understand where the child is and make learning fun by presenting the subject in a way that is fun for the student. I am patient and considerate. As an upper classman at Cal Poly I was a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon and tutored math students for two years. After Graduating from Stanford, I went to work for SRI (a think tank). I used mathematics while working to develope may scientic and signal processing applications for computers including GPS applications. I Love Mathematics and would like the opportunity to share this love with young people.

This year I taught math at Community of Peace Charter school in St. Paul, MN. I taught 3 sections of 8th grade math to a very diverse student population. Approximately 25% of the students receive ESL services outside of the math class, therefore I learned the difficulties that these students have with math vocab and context situations. I dealt with the broad range of math skills by running a math workshop model during the classroom blocks. This was very successful and was well liked by the students. I am not a 'stand and lecture' type of teacher. Students learn best by trying math skills by themselves or working with other students. I use web math applets frequently and math video clips which appeals to the digital-native students of today.

Teaching Style: I believe in giving importance and attention to each student. I make all students involve in my teaching. My goal is not to neglect any student. To provide best of my knowledge to students who want to learn more and at the same time keeping pace with students who want to understand things in simpler ways. I am patient and able to understand how to make out best from students. I make things simpler for students that they like enjoying the subject they are learning. Teaching Experience: I have 3 years of teaching experience. I have taught to undergraduate students. I am Ph.D in Organic Chemistry which gave me extensive experience in Chemistry.

I am a licensed MN French teacher. I speak near-native French. I taught ELL to French children and adults in Paris for 4 years, and in the US have taught ELL and French to kids from the ages of 5-18, and also have taught adults in community education programs. I am happy to work with your student to target speaking, writing, memorizing vocabulary, understanding grammar... I offer the advantage of being a native English speaker first. I have been through the learning process myself and can often better explain it than a native French speaker can. (Imagine yourself trying to explain the present perfect tense to someone learning English!) I also speak Spanish (conversational) and am able to tutor beginning levels of Spanish. I have a very communicative teaching style with languages, where it is important for the student to hear and speak the language as much as possible to learn it bet

When I started at the University of Minnesota in 2006, I began tutoring through an on-campus program named America Reads. Their mission is to increase literacy skills in elementary through high school aged youth in the community of the Twin Cities. I have worked with this program for over 3 years and have had experience tutoring kindergarten through third grade in reading and writing skills. I have attended workshops about ESL to help better apply my Spanish Studies major to my job. Due to the experiences I have had in the classroom and with my co-workers and supervisors, I have changed my major from Journalism and Mass Communication to Elementary Education, which I will start in Fall of 2009. I hope to combine my two concentrated areas of study and teach in a Spanish bi-lingual school. I believe that my teaching style is more modern that what teachers have used when I was in elementary

As a grad student I did a great deal of lab teaching and physics tutoring as part of my teaching assistantship. I also taught a semester of undergraduate astronomy at both the University of St. Thomas and at Normandale Community College near the end of my graduate school years. I own an engineering consulting company (www.processdiscovery.com) that provides training, mentoring and consulting using Design of Experiments (DOE). Here my students are engineers and researchers. In addition, I run a church-based program called the Alpha Course for 6 years. During those courses, and I lead and teach one of the small groups. The students are middle-age to older adults. Education has to be interactive to be effective. I try to apply a Socratic approach when I work with students - to not provide answers but to draw out answers from the student by directed questioning. In the areas that I

I became interested in tutoring during my three years of graduate study at Princeton Theological Seminary. Studying theology in my undergraduate and graduate work required me to invest strongly in multiple subjects such as history, philosophy, languages, politics and literature. This equipped me to tutor multiple subjects at various levels. I greatly enjoy teaching children at all levels. Through a variety of approaches and encouraging persistence, I believe children can gain knowledge of and proficiency in all subjects. A multi-disciplinary approach ensures a child's growth has both depth and breadth. I aim to teach in a way that develops the intellect and cultivates the character of my students so that they become critical and virtuous members of and contributors to society.

As a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas, I have an English degree and am a few classes/credits short of a Business Administration degree. At Bethel University I pursued a Secondary Education teaching certificate. Seeing an opportunity to teach high school english in Texas, I pursued teaching and volunteer teaching while living and working in Texas. I have extensive experience in writing business letters, legal documents, and preparing and proofreading letters and documents in general on a day to day basis. I love to learn and help others do the same, whether it is helping a high school dropout pursue and finish their GED or teaching and mentoring children and young adults in volunteer settings; I love to teach, but more importantly, I enjoy trying to find the best way or creative ways to help others learn, understand and grow as people.

When in undergraduate school for physics I acted as a tutor for portions of my junior and senior years. I tutored students in general physics I & II, as well as calculus I & II. I would work with a particular student on a one on one basis to address specific questions that they might have on the subject matter. I very much enjoy education and working with children/young adults. Teaching is something that can and should be performed in different ways depending on the student. Everybody has their own unique learning style. I believe in visual learning and working through example problems to help develop better understanding. I feel that through a hands on approach students can and will meet their potential.

I have extensive experience in teach chemistry to students. In the past while at the University of Wyoming I had extensive one on one tutoring sessions with both college students and HS students (AP students). I have also tutored in math, and physics in the past also. First, I love helping people learn. I strive to show students and people that chemistry, math and science is all about a thought process and is something that everyone can learn. Teaching sciences is about helping and showing students how to approach the problems, and problem solve not to just solve problems individually. I also believe in using and finding many methods/examples to find how the student learns best.

My degree in psychology has enabled me to understand all children better, and to work especially well with special needs students. I have experience tutoring students from the ages of 3 to 40+. Subject-wise I have taught Writing, ESL, Spanish and Karate. I have even given self-esteem building talks to grade-schoolers and middle-schoolers. My experiences as a writing tutor, newsletter editor, as well as a Psychology ILP assistant allow me to excel at working with students on all types of writing assignments. Every child learns differently. In a world where we corporately streamline everything so that it all comes out pre-packaged and exactly the same we often lose sight of how unique each person is. I find that listening carefully to a child's reasons for having difficulty can help you to better understand how to help them learn. I find that children are often given too little credit - es
