Love to live. Live to learn.

Varies from person to person.
In high school I took Calculus, honors Geology, honors Chemistry, and honors English. I have three siblings that I help out with homework, as well as have tutored my fellow classmates in high school, so I can adapt to any learning style. I am currently going to Central Washington University. I am pursuing a degree in Communication studies with a double minor in Sociology and Spanish. I am not completely fluent in Spanish, but I am very proficient in reading, writing, and speaking.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher, I work to build my students’ self-confidence through positive interactions and effective problem-solving. I believe that every person has the capacity to learn. I consistently adapt my teaching to the needs of the student and look for creative ways to help the student to understand. I recognize and affirm every effort to learn, every success not matter how small. I encourage students and know how to release the tension so students do not become discouraged. I am not a lecturer. I work to engage learners and identity ways to make learning fun. I look for ways to affirm a student's efforts and to build on each success.
My teaching experiences include college faculty member and home school teacher for my four children. They graduated from the Independent Study High School University of Nebraska, participated in Running Start and are all college graduates. I was ... read more

I have a BA in History with a minor in Archaeology, and am a member of two honor societies. As a history major, my fields of expertise include research, critical analysis, and writing. From 2006 to 2009, I tutored writing in all subjects at a local community college.
As a tutor, I believe it is my job to facilitate the individual thinking processes and strengths of each student. I am patient, attentive to students' concerns, and comfortable with many different learning styles. I do not lecture, but prefer to ask questions that will allow the students not only to master the material at hand but to apply what they have learned to future problems.

I enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially like working with High School students.Initially, they can be quite a challenge to work with, but once they are engaged they are fully immersed in the topic! I like to be creative and interactive! I was a difficult High School student so I can relate to many that get bored with some topics. I really like to use transactional teaching methods. I introduce a subject and have discussions about the material rather than strictly lecturing.I like to learn what the student can teach me after assigned a reading. Have them go in the front of the room and explain a portion of the reading. It also helps them develop confidence in their public speaking.
As an undergraduate student at Central Washington University, I was self motivated and involved in various activities. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Sociology and BA in Law and Justice. ... read more

I enjoy finding the teaching style that works best for each individual learner. Learning is a collaborative effort, and all individuals do not learn alike. I am patient with frustration, calm under pressure, and am able to create a positive learning experience especially for those who have experienced frustration or failure in the past.
I returned to college in my mid-40s to complete a Bachelor's degree, majoring in Biology, minoring in Chemistry and Pre-professional Studies. This enabled me to attain competent understanding of not only the hard science classes, but also to experience writing and presentation skills at the professional level. As a current Biology master's student, I continue to hone those skills as well as pass them on to others. I have many years experience mentoring college students with Biology, Chemistry, and Reading/Writing/Presentation skills. In addition, I ... read more

I have earned two bachelor degrees, BM in Music and BA in English. Having a high level of ambition and love for learning, I chose to continue on to obtain my Masters in Literature.

Additionally, I was a tutor at Central Washington University for 2 years. I served as a full-time volunteer helping an English teacher at Morgan Middle School for a semester.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and adults of all ages, although most of my experience has come from teaching college age kids. I believe that everyone learns in different ways and one aspect of teaching I enjoy the most is working with someone to find the method of learning that is best for them. Once someone has discovered their method of learning it makes the process so much more enjoyable for both the student and myself. I am very patient, easy going and considerate and work hard to connect with my students as both an educator, friend and role model.
As a double major in Economics and Sociology I gained extensive experience with both mathematics as well as writing and oral presentations. In my final semester I enrolled in two graduate level classes and despite the difficulty of my class schedule worked even harder to achieve a 4.0 GPA for that semester. The combination of Economics ... read more

I have worked in schools as a paraeducator and as a substitute teacher, with one year as a 7th grade biology teacher in a parochial school in Texas.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with people and have taught teenagers and adults. I am enthusiastic, compassionate, and easy-going with students. I understand each person will approach a subject differently, so I can offer several methods of instruction to students. I believe in teaching grammar rhetorically and feel students should gain a more hands-on approach instead of just hearing a lecture. I bring my knowledge of each subject and offer a number of techniques to help students understand a subject. I believe in a recursive process of writing so that students can understand the importance of writing as a process. I hope to improve student learning and give them that sense of enthusiasm and delight I have when it comes to writing.
I hold a BA and an MA in English from Central Washington University, and I have studied extensively in philosophy and religious studies. Because of my training ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to see students grasp a new concept and revisit their work with greater pride and confidence as a result. Realizing we all learn in differing rates and manners, I find great satisfaction in teaching in several ways at the same time (e.g., varying visual and auditory cues, telling stories and providing mnemonic devices). Having worked with issues such as ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, I recognize and address learning challenges with patience, courtesy, respect -- and optimism. I believe that every successful experience with schoolwork, no matter how small, builds toward a cumulative good outcome for students at every level, and that the right tools exist for each of us to succeed in ways best suited to our unique character.
As a high school honors student, I majored in English and achieved the highest score possible (five -- 5) on the English Exam. In College, I pursued my ... read more
