I adjust to what the mentee wants or what works the best for the particular mentee. Everyone learns, absorbs information, and applies it in different ways. I am flexible in my teaching style. I have 38 years of business and professional experience. I have mentored over 100 individuals in many different areas. Please see my Profile for my areas of expertise. My mentees have been more than pleased with the results. I also mentor in life skills such as work-life balance, females in a "male" work force, dealing with stress/pressure at work and at home.

I attended Denison University in Ohio where I earned a B.A. in psychology, summa cum laude, with a minor in music performance (trumpet). I was a department fellow and tutor, primarily working with psychology and writing students, and also worked as a stage manager in the music department. After college, I headed to The Ohio State University where I earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology with a specialization in college teaching. While I was a graduate student, I taught general psychology and ACT prep courses and scored ACT and SAT writing exams. Thanks to my education, I am an expert in psychology, reading, writing, and general scientific literacy. As a teacher and a tutor, I have worked with students ranging from children to doctoral degree candidates. I like tutoring students individually because it allows me to tailor my approach to each student in a way that I could never do in a cla

I am from South Korea and have been studying in America for 4 years. During 4 years, I was struggling to learn English and studying hard to follow my classes. As a result, I learned the efficient way of studying English(useful for people who are from other countries) and maintained A- grade during my high school. I taught Korean students who needed English help and American students who needed math help(especially for ACT math). I got 29 ACT overall score and 33 ACT math and 28 English ACT. Studying at St. Olaf College, I explored the joy of teaching. As a native Korean speaker, I taught American friends who are interested in Korean culture and Korean. During my freshman year at St.Olaf, I maintained A- grade and got a dean's list for the second semester. I enjoy teaching in general and understand the struggle of learning. Especially, math is a definitely challenging subject and somet

My primary objective is to help the student understand the material to the fullest of their extent. By achieving this standard I am confident that the student is able to tackle whatever topic it was that they were struggling with. To reach this point I first like to identify with the individual what is troubling them the most as all people have different learning abilities and difficulties. Once I am clear on what needs attention I proceed to cover the material utilizing different strategies until I find one that works best with the particular student. I go into every session believing that each student is able to succeed and that I can help aid in that process. It’s just as rewarding for me to see their achievement as it is for them. As of University of Minnesota graduate with a BS in Biology I have obtained vast knowledge in biological and chemical sciences. With the knowledge and unde

I have had very hands on approach to teaching and tutoring; specifically focusing on college level students, I have employed several different approaches to understanding physical science, biological science, and verbal reasoning. With my students, I often incorporate not only how to understand the material, but how to conceptualize given information and how to deduce that information in various test formats. I have a consistent goal that I will not leave any student behind, regardless of the amount of time and dedication that is required. Since graduation from the University of Minnesota in 2006, I have continued to expand my knowledge in various fields of science, medicine, and education. I have conducted research in the fields of neuroscience, genetics, and neurosurgery throughout my career while enlisting in several community activities that have ranged from collegiate mentor, to awa

I believe that my teaching style is more modern that what teachers have used when I was in elementary school. I believe that being energetic in the lessons plays a large role to the response a student will give. It is vital that the tutor shows the student that learning can be fun and it is important as well. Besides energy, I bring compassion and understanding to my lessons. Many of the students I work with are struggling in their classes and get frustrated very easily. I try very hard to impress upon the struggling students that they are also very smart. I am very encouraging, yet push them to reach their goals. It is also key to develop a relationship with the student; find out about their family, interests, dislikes, tell stories. These are all things that can be incorporated into lessons to make them more fun for the child. When I started at the University of Minnesota in 2006, I be

I believe that an education is the most important foundation for a person. I am very patient and have found students learn best when each new piece of information is linked to prior knowledge. Each student learns at a different pace and in a different way. During my time at the University of Minnesota I earned two BS degrees in Mathematics and Statistics. I have a very strong background in math and science. While attending college I gained a lot of experience in education. I privately tutored, facilitated Peer Assisted Learning sessions, and also was a teaching assistant at a Saturday program instructing 4th and 5th grade girls on special topics in math. After graduation, I joined Teach for America and taught high school Algebra 1 and Geometry for seven months.

I greatly enjoy teaching children at all levels. Through a variety of approaches and encouraging persistence, I believe children can gain knowledge of and proficiency in all subjects. A multi-disciplinary approach ensures a child's growth has both depth and breadth. I aim to teach in a way that develops the intellect and cultivates the character of my students so that they become critical and virtuous members of and contributors to society. I became interested in tutoring during my three years of graduate study at Princeton Theological Seminary. Studying theology in my undergraduate and graduate work required me to invest strongly in multiple subjects such as history, philosophy, languages, politics and literature. This equipped me to tutor multiple subjects at various levels.

I really do place something of a premium on being able to connect with all of my students on an academic and personal level. I believe that this helps them as they know that their teacher and tutor cares about them and their future and, as such, this causes them to grow and excel. I can attest to such things happening with many of my students and for that I am incredibly thankful. I have done a lot of teaching and tutoring, both with adults and young people. Most of my experience, though, comes from working with high school and junior high school students. I spent the majority of that time as a tutor/ mentor and would work with the students one on one or in small groups, both in the library or in the classroom. It was really the most wonderful experience and I was able to provide tremendous benefits to the students on both an academic and personal level.
