Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kenyon, MN

I have always loved drawing and can teach basic concepts, from sketching to final pieces. I received my B.S. degree in Biology, and am knowledgeable about many sub-disciplines, including life sciences (plants/animals), genetics, evolution, and anatomy. I am generally able to explain difficult biological concepts in a more conversational way. I've worked with high school youth in the past (approx. 2 years experience) in a crew structure teaching job skills (resume writing, interviewing, etc.) and basic biological/ecological principles. I have worked with family and friends to teach basic personal finance and resume-writing tips to help them achieve great results. I am primarily an environmental consultant, and I routinely use MS Office programs to analyze, organize, and present data in easy-to-understand ways. I've taught several co-workers, family members, and friends how to use these p

I am currently involved in the public school system as a Literacy Tutor for grades k-3. I have earned a BA in Journalism and English and have decided to continue on to pursue my Masters degree in Education. I have been trained in specific reading strategies that can help improve fluency, phonemic awareness, and phonics; as well as vocabulary and text comprehension. I love working with children. I believe they all have the potential to be great at whatever they choose – sometimes they just need that extra hand- and that is what I can offer. I am patient, easy going, kind and encourage laughter. My goal is to engage children in the things they are naturally interested in and to make learning fun.

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. 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.

I have a very modifiable style of teaching, meaning I cater to the student or students. I quickly learn the curriculum and can find multiple ways to teach it. This allows me to utilize the students major styles of learning and develop the areas where they may struggle. Teaching this way helps mold a complete student who is able to understand themselves and can learn from any lesson. While attending and completing four years of Education courses at a well respected institution I was focused and driven to complete the curriculum and focus on creative lesson planning. Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task. The preparation and focus applied in college paired with an immense interest in History has molded me into a life learner as well as teacher. Most of my experience is related to the

Teaching has always been my passion & I enjoy every minute. I believe that all children can learn given the oppurtunity to learn verbally, kinesthetically or whatever way they learn best. Being a preschool teacher I have learned to be patient and strive to give each child the ability to succeed. I have also learned to be versatile in all of my teaching, trying different approaches to learning concepts when one approach doesn't work. I am open to children's thoughts and ideas & try to be a good listener. When frustration occurs I am able to calm the student & give them the redirection they need. Children are our future in every way & I try to help them be the best they can & achieve academic success as well as a good self esteem. I began my teaching career as a piano teacher in 1994, taught a pre-piano bells class & obtained licensure in Kindermusik in 1996. I obtained a BM in Piano Peda

I believe in meeting each child at his/her current skill level and building confidence and concepts from there. Each student has his/her own strengths and weaknesses, and learns at his/her own pace. Rather than expecting all students to understand a concept using one teaching style, I teach a lesson using multiple modalities followed by step-by-step tasks which reward successive approximations to a concept. The students who catch on quickly can use the time to build on their skills and expand upon the concepts, while I work more closely with students struggling with the concepts presented. I do this because I care, and believe academic success and personal confidence are key to life success. Ten years ago, at just 14, I knew I had a calling to help others reach full potential in all aspects of their lives, and did something about it. At that time, I implemented a scheduled and drop-in tu

I have been a teacher for ten years. I have been substitute teaching between contract French teaching assignments. I have worked with, taught, and tutored students of different classes, different ethnic and racial backgrounds. I have substituted many different subjects and taught students at many different levels and abilities. I have tutored adults in basic education for their GED exam as well as adult ELL/ESL students. I have taught summer school high school Math and English and proctored the exams for the MN basic standards graduation tests. I don't have a style. I try to go with the flow. What that means is I assess what the students know, what they don't know, and what they need to know and adjust what I teach and how I teach it accordingly. I can go over/review information as many times as students need it. It is important to go back to the old information that was learned

As a graduate from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, I have been well prepared in my chosen fields. I have bachelor degrees in both Exercise & Sport Science: Fitness, and Spanish, through which I have acquired a vast knowledge of health and fitness. I have also studied abroad in Spain, and lived and worked in Lima, Peru for 6 months upon graduation from college. This has exposed me to the Hispanic culture, increased my Spanish skills, and given me experience teaching English to speakers of other languages. In addition, I have gained extensive reading and writing skills, along with a thorough knowledge of music/music theory throughout my education. I find it thoroughly enjoyable to work with children. My time teaching in Peru has definitely confirmed that for me! I am patient, responsible, and easy going. I think that knowledge can be gained in many ways, and it doesn't have to

As an educator, I love teaching and working with students of all ages. Through my experience, I have learned and believe that all children can succeed academically. My teaching style is based on a responsive classroom approach and readers and writers workshop style. I teach and have been trained in educating students through a “Bloom’s Taxonomy” (Knowing that all students learn differently) approach. I enjoy teaching students through discovery, hands-on manipulatives, adapting the student’s own interests to the academics being taught, using a constructivist learn experience and making education fun. As a Metropolitan State University graduate from the Urban Teacher Program, I have earned my minor in early childhood education and my BS degree in elementary education. My degree has allowed me to gain full comprehension in many areas of readers and writer’s workshop, math, reading, eng

I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin River Falls with a BS in Marketing Communications. My minor area of study while at River Falls was Psychology, and over the course of my college career, my interest in the topic has developed into a career goal. I plan to return to UW River Falls this Fall to earn a Mater's degree in School Psychology. For the past six years I have taught and coached Swimming and Diving lessons to children ages 4-16. I have also tutored Junior High students in English. I believe that every child has the ability to be a successful learner, and I enjoy watching my students grow and improve at different paces. My goal is to make each child feel comfortable in their learning environment, while challenging each student according to their level of ability. I respond well to students who become easily frustrated, and adjust my teaching style accordingly. It

My passion for the arts drives everything I do, from education to the practice of art. Being an academically trained artist has taught me the value of knowing the masters of art history and the importance of passing on the knowledge. Also, with art being hands-on craft, I strongly believe in “getting in there and getting your hands dirty”. Art is all about trying and seeing what works and it is my job to help the student find what works for them and to create a signature style. While attending the University of Minnesota, I deepened my relationship with the visual arts. I extensively studied two-dimensional art in the areas of Sumi ink painting, watercolor, charcoal drawing, oil and powder pastel rendering, graphite sketching and printmaking; focusing on intaglio, aluminum and stone lithography. Though I have little experience teaching or tutoring in visual art, I do have teaching exper

I believe in differentiated instruction and helping students find the way that individual learns best. I also use active learning which enables students to talk, listen, read, write, and reflect on content through problem-solving exercises, simulations, modeling, and role playing. I am an Elementary Education graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have experience teaching students with emotional behavioral disorders, students who were at high risk for failure and students in inner city schools. I have purposely taken teaching jobs that are challenging and found that I take pleasure and personal fulfillment in being challenged and I perform well in a demanding environment.

Children have been my main interest for many years. I have an interest in children learning as much as they can. I believe that understanding and succeeding in Language, (speaking, listening, reading and writing) are the most important elements to all other learning. I have enjoyed working and seeing children become successful in their quest to learn. I differentiate reading to the needs of individual students so that they progress at their levels and abilities. From time to time, I am fortunate to meet former students and am delighted to learn of their successes.. I taught for St. Paul Schools, District #625. I have been a volunteer with Volunteers of America as a reading and math tutor with students in grades k-3.

It has been my experience, both as a student and a teacher, that people learn best with positive reinforcement and patience. When assisting students I make it my goal to explain the subject matter step by step and to avoid confusion. I also know that students are more comfortable when they feel you are truly engaged in their learning experience and concerned about their success. It is vital that educators help students utilize their education to the fullest, even beyond the classroom. Education can be the basic foundation of self-confidence and it takes passionate educators to make this happen. I reflect often on those who helped me during my academics and who taught with genuine interest in their students. I strive to be one of those teachers. I have just completed my master's degree combining courses from both biology and anthropology. My thesis concentrated on awareness of nature and
