Frances L. - Mankato, MN 56001 (14.8 mi) - Literature Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Part of the advantage I have as a math tutor in particular is the fact that I failed math miserably in highschool myself. I have only learned what I know because I was bound and determined not to let any subject get the best of me. Unlike many math teachers who naturally understand math, I have the benefit of understanding precisely why students don't understand and the patience to explain a topic as many different ways as possible until the student and I hit on a way that works. To be clear up front I am not a teacher. However, I have acquired valuable skills working as a highschool paraprofessional for almost eight years. I spent the majority of my days in math classes and science classes helping students and learning the subject right along with them. I also spent an hour or two every day in study hall to help students with homework (math, science, english, social studies) Aside from

Chris S. - Eagan, MN 55112 (40.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $20.00/hr.
I am an enthusiastic life-long learner and teacher. I've spent my life reading and loving literature. I want to share that skill and joy with as many people as possible. My time at the University of Minnesota was a formative experience, there I learned the essentials of reading great books and articulating critical thinking through written word. I am very flexible and patient. I believe as a teacher one should act serve a midwife from the student to the understanding of a skill or concept. I want students to learn through instruction and fully integrate that learning through open dialogue and application.

Gabriel C. - Saint Paul, MN 55118 (48.7 mi) - Literature Tutor - $15.00/hr.
I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people. I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers.

Jillian M - Montgomery, MN 56069 (14 mi) - Literature Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I believe in a teaching style that reflects a student's learning style. Whether they learn best by hearing, seeing, or doing it is important to cater to the student. My teaching style works around this philosphy and tends to be a combination of all 3 styles. Although I have recently graduated with a degree in business, I am interested in pursuing a career involving people. My previous employment was a sales position that was very customer-oriented. I also have 3 years of experience helping children by teaching swimming lessons. Assisting my 15-year-old sister with her school work is also a regular activity.

Tasha S - North Mankato, MN 56003 (15.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I attended the University of North Dakota for 4 years and in that time received a BA in Anthropology which has provided me the experience and knowledge of helping people in holistic ways. I now attend graduate school to obtain an MS in Applied Anthropology. Just about every semester I have written a 7-15 page research paper and have written several other essays, reports, and assignments in general. I have also done research for domestic violence organizations and helped teach college-level introduction courses. Teaching is a wonderful experience! My teaching style is laid-back, I'd say. I like having conversations in order to determine how someone learns. I think people learn best when discussing the material and really think it out before they start creating something. Guiding a student down the path of their own learning style is important because they will need those skills in the fut

Kelsey R - Faribault, MN 55021 (17.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I develop most of my lesson plans using GLAD principles. I like to use multiple senses, student interaction and various resources to keep the student active. When teaching a language, it is important to know the basic grammar structure first, and then speaking and listening follow. I work with people with disabilities, teaching them how to canoe with a company called Wilderness Inquiry. The company's motto is: Anyone, anywhere, anytime, any place. We strive to make this possible, because it is possible! It is possible to have a quadriplegic go on a canoe trip or a blind person to kayak through caves. I have learned that anything is possible with adaptation. While teaching, a successful teacher can allow everyone to learn, with adaptation. During my undergraduate career, there were multiple influences that contributed to my passion for teaching. First, I tutored college students from Asi

Keesha E - Owatonna, MN 55060 (19.5 mi) - Literature Tutor - $38.50/hr.
During my sophomore year in high school I decided to begin tutoring ESL students. I found the ability to help others succeed very rewarding, and began tutoring fellow classmates in courses including but not limited to English, math, biology, and chemistry. These sometimes difficult subject always made sense to me and I enjoyed watching as the students I tutored were successful. I have in that time earned a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Florida State University. With this degree I have had extensive exposure and to and learned many different areas in the math and science fields. While earning this degree I volunteered in an after school program tutoring under-priveledged children in the Tallahassee area. Throughout the last 6 years I have found that tutoring is a very rewarding experience. I prefer the 1 on 1 setting to better explain and address all the needs of a specific

Erin M - Shakopee, MN 55379 (35.2 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I believe that every person can learn. I love my subject area of English and I am deeply passionate about literature. I want to pass some of my passion on to other English study learners. While my passion and focus is on English studies, I believe that by listening to the student's needs, I can foster a love for all learning. Whether the student is in middle school or in college, by fostering their education and listening to their needs, the student's confidence will improve, thus benefiting them in every aspects of their lives. I would love to make a difference in my students' lives and outlooks on their education. I have over eleven years of experience with teaching and guiding students through their education. I have worked steadily gaining valuable experience. My undergraduate work in Education and English, along with my minor in Communication provided me with the foundations that I

Janna B - Shakopee, MN 55379 (35.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I grew up in a household that valued education and creative learning. As a result, I have always been driven to do my very best in all subject areas. I officially started tutoring in 2002, at Southwest Minnesota State University. My initial subjects were Algebra and Finite Math. Since then, I have tutor in a number of subject including English, vocabulary, basic Science(s) and Social Studies. I have worked with students of every age from those just starting at 3 and 4 years of age, to more non-traditional students over 50 years of age. I have also been blessed to work with students from various cultural backgrounds. I understand that each student is an individual, and I like to get to know him/her as a person. The more I am able to connect with the student, the more successful we will be in achieving academic success! My teaching style is adaptable to the student. Some students need help

Lindsay H - Savage, MN 55378 (35.9 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
My experience stems primarily from my time attending college both in the United States and abroad in Cork, Ireland. I have earned a B.A. in English with the intent of pursuing graduate school. In May 2008 I was awarded the honor of an Award of Excellence in Critical Writing from the University of Northern Iowa. I spent three consecutive summers as a faculty member with Exploration Schools, Inc. located in Boston, MA where I taught, coached, tutored and led youth ranging in grades 4-9 in the areas. In addition, during the four years I attended U.N.I. I worked as a volunteer teacher and as an independent tutor. My teaching style highlights each student's strengths in the particular area in need of tutoring. By doing this, the student gains confidence in the material more and more by knowing that while they may struggle in part in a certain area, there are also multiple areas of strength to
