I have experience tutoring math over the last 4 years. I have been in the high level math classes throughout my entire life. I am a very thorough when i teach and make sure the student understands the material before moving on. I am extremely patient and make sure I move at a speed that the student understands. I have never tutored in other subjects but am comfortable with doing so.
visual and hands on. this is the way I learn best so its the way that makes sense to teach

More About This Tutor...

I have a Bachelor's degree in English Writing from the University of Nevada, Reno, and am currently in the process of applying to graduate school for Creative Writing. During the past year, I have tutored part-time as a writing tutor through the in-home tutoring company Study Buddies. Recently, I have had work published in the University of Nevada's "Brushfire" literary magazine and the Nevada Historical Society's archive. In October of 2006, I presented at the annual Buster Keaton Conference in Iola, Kansas.
I enjoy helping others and have often volunteered my proofreading and editing skills to my friends, family, and classmates. While in college, I took numerous creative writing classes that utilized workshop and group editing techniques. As a result, I have learned how to give constructive criticism and how to help others improve their writing without compromising their own ... read more

I believe in a multifaceted approach to the different types of learners, aural, visual, kinesthetic, and reading/writing and aim to incorporate all learning styles in my teaching. I watched my brother struggle through school and learning disabilities all his life, so I tutored him through math and English since 7th grade. I found if you connect with a student and create ways that speak to him, you can foster learning. I helped my brother write flow charts on full-length mirrors to chart plotlines from books. He was a kinesthetic learner and this method of engaging worked for him. If you don’t create an environment that the students enjoy, they’ll keep texting or turn on their ipod again. The door of learning opens by discovering which type of learner a student is, and creating teaching tools that appeal to him/her. Through patience, kindness, encouragement, and some creative assignments, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In the past year I have realized how much I love teaching. I believe that as a teacher, I am also a constant learner, always adapting my teaching style to the specific needs of each classroom and each student. I am a strong advocate of creativity, and believe that each student is unique in his or her learning style. Patience and understanding is also something I strive for when I teach; I believe that each learner is capable of bettering themselves if they have patience and understanding of their own potential.
I have just finished my first year in the MFA-Fiction program at The University of Montana where I also worked as a Teaching Assistant in the English department. As a Teaching Assistant, I taught Basic Composition to undergraduates.

A Little Bit About Me...

The style of teaching that I use is experience. I believe that people learn best when they work through and actually practice the issues. For example, in mathematics I believe it is very important to practice math problems. Not to memorize the answers but the memorize the formula for working through a problem. When they are working through the problems I try and answer any questions that they may have, so that they develop speed and accuracy, that way when a test comes they are fully equipped with the skills they need to get a good grade in a relatively quick manor.
While attending college I was apart of many different study groups. In such study groups we would teach each other the information we needed to learn. Through this I interacted with many students teaching many things in many different styles. When I was in upper level courses I would assist the underclassmen with their ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a passionate believer in individualized education. Good education matches a child’s level, pace of learning, and interests. I am very student-centered in my teaching. I use a variety of means to engage students and to allow self-direction so that students can “work” from their interests. I try to find the place where the student’s interests and level meet the demands of the subject matter. That is the place from which meaningful learning and individual growth can happen. I also have a strong commitment to quality. For example, I believe that it is very important for older students to apply themselves to reading closely, thinking analytically, and writing well. I try to show them that these difficult tasks are essential to empowering themselves as learners and persons.
I have been involved in the field of education since 1982, when I directed and co-designed the residential co ... read more

My goal in studying linguistics is to become a professional ESL teacher. I am very much interested in language development at all levels, but especially in nonnative language development. I am a native speaker of English, but I am also fluent in Spanish as well. I love to teach and learn language. I am a professional student currently enrolled in a master of arts program for applied linguistics at the University of Montana. I will be teaching a course in English for Academic Purposes next year at the university. My specialty concerns the teaching of the four primary skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to nonnative learners of the English language. Therefore I am qualified to teach English grammar, reading, and writing among other things. I have done a lot of tutoring in the past six years and look forward to helping as many people as I can.

As a life-long student, I aspire to a life of teaching. While an undergraduate at St. Olaf College, I developed strong communication and interpersonal skills as a writing center tutor and ESL mentor. After graduating magna cum laude in 2005, I became a volunteer educator in Chicago and taught elementary and middle school math, reading, art and social studies. Today, as a graduate student and composition instructor at the University of Montana, I relish the opportunity to pursue literature and develop my classroom teaching expertise. Working with undergraduates straight out of high-school and non-traditional students with families or second careers, I encourage students to distinguish their writing voices and explore rhetorical choices by inventing and revising writing projects. I emphasize teaching literature as dialogue because I strongly believe that an individual’s self perception and ... read more

As a computer science teaching assistant I was often presenting students with their first experience in a new field, as a result, I have adapted a teaching style which draws upon my background in the sciences to offer real life examples and helpful tidbits to further a students understanding. I am patient and equipped to adapt to student's differing needs. I enjoy working with students of all ages and truly wish to help students learn and enjoy their educations.
After earning a bachelor degree in Mathematics/Statistics I entered graduate school with the intention of going into the Computer Science field.

I have a B.A. in Accounting as I have a great passion for the financial world. I have always LOVED math as I feel it gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I am able to take a problem that I've been given and find a solution. I have a strong desire to pass this on to others. I have been working in Outdoor Education for the past year and a half. I spent 7 months living and working at a boarding school. I have also been working for other schools' Outdoor Education programs over the past 3 months. I spent time this summer working with youth through a summer camp. I have worked with a wide age range of students, grades 1-12.
Through working in Outdoor Education I have developed a very complex teaching style. I find that all students learn differently which means that to be a successful educator, I must be creative and present information in numerous ways. I feel as though I ... read more

I strongly believe that teachers can influence the passion and understanding a student will have for a subject. While my early teachers had varying styles of educating, I remember the teachers that honestly cared about their subject and inspired me to pursue a career in science. As a math tutor, I understand that children develop at different rates and some find math very difficult to learn. However, with the right amount of patience, positive attitude, and extra attention, these individuals will progress at math and may discover new abilities that propel them to succeed in academics and life. I am a dedicated, considerate tutor that will put in the extra effort that it takes to provide high quality teaching.
