Most of my experience stems from my Bachelor of Arts degree at Wartburg College, Waverly, IA. As a Biology major, I have a good background in Life Sciences and Math. I have several study techniques that helped me succeed in college, as well as my current career as a Scientist Integrated DNA technologies in Coralville, IA. Some of my past experiences include working at a summer camp for two years as well as two years in an Emergency Room at a small hospital. I have learned to change and adapt to the needs of the person I am assisting and feel that, as a tutor, this could be a valuable asset.

I have worked as a creative writer, academic grant writer, and a technical writer. My primary goal is to help students understand the "why" of studies. "Why" do we look for differentials in calculus? "Why" do we describe imagery in poetry instead of just saying how we feel? "Why" do we enter compound keys in some SQL tables but not others? "Why" do we need a conclusion on our essay? If we understand why we do something, we are far more likely to remember how to do it. I also strive to keep the homework the work of the student. They do the work, I guide them to the correct (or at least best) answer. Students are more likely to remember how to complete the problem if they are in the driver seat, not the tutor. I am an 15 year IT professional, the last 3 with the University of Iowa. I also have 6 years of chemical/biologincal operations and technical writing experience with Abbott Labor

As an University of Iowa graduate I have always held education as a high value. I have dedicated my time to personally achieving excellence in education, as well as helping others do the same. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, a minor in Social Work and with a year and a half math experience at the college level. During the last couple years I was an Academic Mentor for a high school student at West High School in Iowa City and volunteered my time working with students to help improve their educational skills in West High School's Success Center. As a previous camp counselor I tutored students in an one-on-one and group setting to better their learning skills in preparation for the next school year. I truly enjoy working with all students. My past experiences of interacting with children has shown me all children have the ability to learn, but learn at differ

I believe that ALL children are capable of learning. It is my responsibility to seek out those methodologies that are most compatible for the children in my care. My administrators usually placed those students who were struggling in my care. I don't believe in using just one "curriculum" but am adept at combining a variety of techniques that will best enable the children find out that they are, indeed, capable of learning! Teaching reading and writing are particular joys to me, as I believe anyone who learns to read has opened up a whole new world. Learning can be fun and relaxed, while achieving the goals necessary for academic success. A skilled educator experienced in working with diverse population groups, I'm a Reading Specialist and a classroom educator. Designing curriculum and consulting with homeschooling families have been integral parts of my growth as an educator.

I'm a strong believer in the Gardner's ideas of many different learning styles and types of intelligent. Some students are better audio, tactile, or visual learners. I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to find the best learning style for each student and build on that format through scaffolding. I love nothing better than to see the light bulb go off in a students mind. This also helps them to realize that learning can be a fun adventure. I've been a special education teacher and held positions in resource and in self-contained rooms. I've taught students with learning problems in reading, math, and writing. I have also worked in the Lights on for Learning program and have been a home tutor for home bound students in the district.

I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science. I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.

I have experience teaching many different age groups, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, learning styles, etc. I know what it takes to learn, because I have done it before, and I take what I have learned and apply it to teaching. I am patient and energetic and I have a love for learning and teaching. I especially love to teach math, physics, and foreign language. As a graduate student at the University of Maryland, I taught Russian 101 to undergraduate students for two semesters. I also taught Russian 101 at the University of Virginia for two semesters as a teacher’s assistant. I taught English as a Second Language through Black Hawk College for two semesters, and I taught infants and toddlers at Best Beginnings preschool and child care center for 2 years and 5 months.

I enjoy working with students and co-workers on all levels, whether they have little or no experience. I know when to recognize different styles in learning and methods I can use to accomodate each different style. I am also very patient and willing to put extra effort in with students that might have trouble learning the material presented. I have previously worked as a shift supervisor at Starbucks, which has given me experience training, coaching, and delegating duties to other employees. This position has in turn helped me to understand different methods of coaching others, as it applies to varying degrees of learning styles. I also am currently working as a swim instructor at Blackhawk College, which also gives me practice and experience in teaching students of varying age groups and levels and also provides me with an opportunity to learn more about how to interact with students.

I know that every person learns in different ways, and I am determined to help any child find the best way for him or her to learn.

I have worked extremely hard to develop a well rounded educational background. I have earned a BS in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Administration. I also have completed several elective math and science courses as prerequisites for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy of which I will be starting in the 2009-2010 school year. I have had the privileged of completing countless written assignments, scientific papers, and homework assignments. I have no experience in tutoring however, I enjoy teaching others what I have learned. My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to provid

I am a student-centered educator and I was known among my students as someone who was more than just an instructor because I took the progress of my students in class as my personal problem and took exceptional measures such as working beyond time and relentlessly motivating them to overcome their difficulties. I am an educator who helps students make it. During my training at INSE (Institut National des Sciences de l'Education), University of Lome, I had a two-academic year classroom teaching performance inturnship at Agbalepedo Public High school. Then, from September 1998 to February 2005, I taught French and English at ISTT (Institut des Sciences et Techniques du Tertiaire), a private high school in Sokode.

I love to help others. When teaching, I love to keep things fun and upbeat because the pressure of achieving excellence is stressful enough. I take what the student gives me meaning I adapt my teaching style according to their learning style. I am very patient because I always put myself in their shoes. It gives me great pride to see one of my students turn things around. I will never give up on anyone because everyone is teachable. I think every person has the potential to become a good writer with the right amount of teaching. My education thus far has been centered around writing. My collegiate career, the two years I spent in law school, and currently while in pursuit of MBA have all enhanced and refined my writing skills. All of the papers I have written for class are in APA format. I have received 6 perfect papers out of 4 classes I have taken thus far. I have become effi
