More About This Tutor...

I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission. These students will always earn excellent grades.
I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students gr ... read more

Sociology is one of my top subjects! I am getting my PhD in the field.

Though my primary field is sociology, I am versed in Liberal Arts due to my experience and background. Not all students are sociology majors and thus, not all students respond to a sociological manner of thinking. By presenting primary documents, government documents and other sources, I am able to draw out the contributions of a variety of students. I am especially pleased to present visual material to students who have not regularly engaged with such texts, and are surprised at how much a picture of movie has to say about sociological ideas and its connection to contemporary world. I am not afraid to admit uncertainty, for uncertainty provides the basis for all new knowledge. My philosophy applies equally at both the general introductory level, as well as in more advanced sources, where students engage material at more detailed topical levels. I continually learn from my students ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient, easy going, and considerate instructor. I believe that the hands-on learning approach is the most effective in helping all children learn. Each child has their own individual strengths and weaknesses. I feel it is important to identify the strengths and use those to overcome the weaknesses.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences in 2008, and will receive my Master of Science degree in Biological Sciences in May of 2010. Throughout the course of my college education, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. As an undergraduate student, I worked as a private tutor with extensive tutoring experience in all levels of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and ACT preparation. As a graduate student, I have been employed as a teaching assistant where I have been responsible for instructing university students in a variety of laboratory courses i ... read more

Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their education, they learn more.
Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about ... read more

I have a very unique way of teaching. My key to success works on a system of discipline and rewards. I find creative ways to make the most mundane tasks fun to accomplish. I think the number on rule in teaching strategy should be finding a way to make the process enjoyable. I believe most kids that do poorly in school have an incredibly hard time putting their hearts into tutoring. In my professional experience, it is almost like pouring salt on the wound when they don't do well in school and then have to suffer through more torture after school.
As a substitute teacher in the Bethalto school district, I feel I have been trained in all of the subjects necessary to tutor students. On a daily occurrence, I teach math, science, english, reading, social studies, etc. My specialties are english and reading. English was my minor in college and is something that has always been second nat ... read more

My current occupation is working as a paralegal. However, I am looking for opportunities to transition into the field of education. My passion and natural abilities are best suited for nurturing and teaching children. I volunteer as a teen mentor with the Hervey Foundation. I have developed some teaching strategies through the tutoring with two different tutoring agencies Be Smart Tutor and A+ Achievement Inc. With both tutoring companies, i have tutored students in Math, Reading, and Spelling.
Learning is the first step to success, and I am a big advocate on academics. I take pride in teaching and making sure that the student is learning properly. I believe that children learn differently and what makes a good teacher/tutor you have to be able to teach children in the way that they can learn. My teaching strategy is getting to know the student as a person first and a student secon ... read more

As a non-traditional student I was more mature when I returned to finish my degree than when I had originally gone to school. As a result I graduated Suma Cum Laude and was awarded the Competitive Graduate Award from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to begin my graduate education. Subsequently, I was awarded a teaching assistantship and have taught as a TA for the last two semesters in social statistics. While finishing my MA I have also been teaching at the community college level for the last year.
I have set-up courses in different manners and have come to the realization that students must be engaged. I create engagement in a variety of ways using differing types of assignments and projects to attempt to hook the students. I also understand the importance of developing a relationship with the students. Before students will accept your teaching they must see you knowled ... read more

I have a Bachelor's degree in History and an Associate's in Process Technology. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I possess excellent math skills and took statistics in college. I enjoy helping others and feel I am a good fit for this position.
I do not have a specific teaching style. Everyone is different, so one particular type of teaching style may not be as effective as another. In order to be effective, I think it is important to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses before embarking on a certain learning path.

Learning should be fun. I strive to make a point of this when ever I teach. I do this in both lectures and tests. I find a little humor takes the edge off test taking and allows the student to concentrate on the subject matter without being nervous.
I have taught Accounting courses at a JC and Business College in the St. louis area. I also taught Accounting and Finance courses at a Business College in Raleigh, NC. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to continuing.

Since students learn in many ways—by seeing and hearing; reflecting and acting; reasoning logically and intuitively; memorizing and visualizing,I provide various guidelines for how I want tasks completed in this course based upon student pool. Students might describe me as a knowledgeable coach who dispenses the fact, principles, and concepts they need and works closely with someone to correct problems in how they think and behave. I give students a lot of personal support and encouragement to do well in their course.
As a supplemental Instructor/tutor at UMSL Department of Biology, I facilitate the learning process by explaining concepts and encouraging open communication with students. In addition, I conduct weekly review sessions to integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn. I grade exams and laboratory reports.

I enjoy teaching and helping others improve their abilities. Every student can learn it just requires finding a connection between their strengths and weaknesses. I understand that when a person is struggling it can be very frustrating for them. That's why it is important to me to be patient and considerate while working to reach the student's full potential. My reward is helping a student succeed and improving their educational experience.
With a BS in Architecture I have a strong background in math and science and I have always had a strong determination to excel in my education. Also while pursuing my degree I served as a teacher's assistant for multiple courses in my discipline. I also was a department tutor for three of my four years in college and I often worked with individuals or groups with various subjects that they were struggling with.

As a college graduate student, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, a master degree in Elementary Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of language arts, math, and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last seven years I have substitute taught in all grade levels, and have taught preschool full time for the past two years.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivis ... read more
