I look foward to finding new tutoring opportunities!

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.

I have shown that I am both an excellent student, and very well qualified to teach others. I have two bachelor degrees, a BA in German and a BSN in Nursing, which has provided me with a well-rounded education in both the liberal arts and the sciences. I documented frequently as an RN for seven years, and had an essay published in a local magazine in 2007. I have home schooled my children for more than fifteen years, two of whom have graduated from college with superior marks, and one who is excelling currently in college. I have also done educational test scoring for the past four years. My goal is to provide the best educational experience possible for any student I would teach. I would do my best to vary my approach for different subjects, and to provide a variety of experiences and settings. My desire would be that the student would enjoy learning as much as possible, because th

I also worked part-time as a supplemental tutor for students of many ages. At two different tutoring centers I taught reading and mathematics to elementary aged students. I also taught reading, writing, Algebra, Geometry, and study skills to high school aged students. I also helped students of all ages with homework from school in many subjects including; Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Social Studies, English, and French. Lastly, I helped high school students prepare for the ACT and SAT standardized tests. I love helping people succeed. I have an ability to show someone a new way of looking at things, which is sometimes the only thing keeping a person from understanding. I also have a great ability at reading someone and noticing when they don't understand. Sometimes people are too embarrassed to speak up and ask for help, even when I'm there for that ex

I am extremely passionate about all topics related to the biological sciences. I earned a bachelor's degree in Biology. During my undergraduate education I had the opportunity to enhance my ability to educate others and share the fascinating world of biology. I was honored with a teaching position in Osteology and tutored students in Cell biology and statistics. I had phenomenal success with my students and found myself tutoring fellow biology students in my own classes for fun. I also have a masters degree in Ecology and Evolution. During this time I worked as an anatomy and physiology instructor. I also worked as an instructor at Globe University teaching Earth Science, General Biology, and Environmental Issues. Personally I believe in guiding the student through a topic until they reach self-discovery. I absolutely love watching a student grasp a challenging topic especially

As a high school and college student, I was very active in my community as a tutor, mentor, teacher, and coach. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Exercise and Sports Science. This degree and other core courses have given me an opportunity to learn and understand many areas including math, science, reading, and history (social studies). As a college graduate, I have worked closely with literacy and classroom teachers with reading and literacy programs. I also have been a program assistant for academic mentoring programs; therefore I understand the importance of individual assistance for each child. Through my years of coaching and teaching, I have learned that a teacher must adapt his/her teaching style to the learning style of the student. A child can learn in different ways, and it is my job to find the most effective way to help the child learn. Growing up in a large family wh

I have enjoyed working closely with students of diverse backgrounds and abilities as a Writing Consultant, ESL tutor, and Teaching Assistant. I've had the pleasure of working with students who were puzzling over the minutiae of how to properly format a senior thesis to APA format and nervous freshman approaching their first English paper with trepidation. I am a firm believer that the job of a tutor is to work with the student, not with their texts or problems. Our motto at Carleton's "The Write Place" used to be, "We work with writers, not with their writing," and I believe this is the attitude any tutor should take towards the process of tutoring: student first. As recent graduate of Carleton College (magna cum laude), my experiences in the diverse fields of English and Cognitive Science over the past four years have given me a deep appreciation and enthusiasm for the unique license a

As an undergraduate at Lake Superior College, I worked in the campus learning center. I tutored in Mathematics. I transferred my credits to the University of Minnesota where I completed my bachelors of science degree in Biology with a minor in geology. My passion is in plants and I enjoy identifying new as plants. Beyond identifying plants I enjoy learning about the habitats in which the plants thrive and the relation they have to the environment. While tutoring in the Lake Superior learning center. I enjoyed tutoring the students. I would help the student break down the math problem step by step and explain the process. I would then sit with them and encouragement them to complete the next problem on their own. If they got stuck I would give assistance, through asking them questions or trying to help them remember the mathematical steps. If all else failed I would show them the process

I have always strived to excel in my education, and I want to eventually become a college chemistry professor. I have earned two bachelor degrees from St. Cloud State University, a BS in Biochemistry and a BS in Biology, which have allowed me to obtain a very large base of knowledge in both chemistry and biology. I excelled in Organic Chemistry in school, and performed Organic Chemistry research as an undergraduate. I also was a teaching assistant in college, and taught pre-lab lectures and assisted students with homework and labs. My specialties are basic chemistry and biology, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. My goal is to provide information in small steps which eventually lead to the mastery of a subject. I include problem-solving and critical thinking in my teaching, since this will eventually lead to an independent student who really understands the subject. Even though my te

Learning should be fun and engaging; a necessity for effective learning. Because each student has unique academic needs, I prefer to reach students on their level with a differentiated approach. Lesson plans I create are based on students' strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. My goal for students is that they experience learning in a way that builds confidence and self-efficacy. I have also worked with children who have needs in specialized areas. If your student has difficulty resulting from ADD/ADHD, I can help! As a recent Liberty University graduate having earned a B.S. in Multidisciplinary studies (emphases in Education, Counseling and Computer Science), and several years teaching experience, I offer students excellent academic support. As a tutor you will find me creative, friendly, motivating, and encouraging. I feel it is important to not only assist in academic chall
