One thing I have learned in my many years as a tutor is that each student is unique. I try to be flexible in my approach. With grammar and mechanics, I have found that a directive manner is often the best approach; sometimes, however, students require clarification of ideas and organization, in which case I pose questions and share observations, rather than instruct. With reading assignments, clarification of thesis, organization, and vocabulary are usually most helpful. Overall, I try to be as student-centered as possible in my approach to tutoring, without sacrificing a commitment to high quality instruction.
I have a strong background in English, and am currently working toward a Master's degree at the University of St. Thomas. In addition to my strengths in academic research and writing, I have written solicitation letters and grant proposals for a nonprofit. I have tutore ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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.

During my time at the University of Minnesota, I have been employed at several different tutoring organizations. First I worked with K through 6th grade age children at Village Parks. While there my focus was to educate students in different cultures and languages, through games and physical activities. From 2001 to 2002, I worked for with Minneapolis Parks and Public schools to tutor high school age to adult students in basic scholastics abilities up to more challenging subjects. My most recent position was with Upward Bound, where I worked with high school students throughout the St. Paul Public School system. During my time there I was responsible for tutoring students in all subject matters up to post secondary classes. In addition, I thought college prep classes. Through these past experiences and my knowledge of mathematics, I feel I will make students succeed.

I have actually attended three universities,including Miami of Ohio and the University of MN where I studied political science. I recently took the GRE, thus I am familiar with college and what is required to succeed. During my first writing class at Metropolitan State University,I was approached to become a tutor. My first day was in October, 2006, and I am still tutoring. I work with a diverse student population, including ESL students, and I am expected to help in any subject or genre for both undergraduate and graduate students. Although I primarily work with adults, I do enjoy all ages and mentored a teenager in 2007 for a year long program. I am still in contact with this young man who was considered at risk, and I consider him a friend.

My teaching style is one of real life applications, fun, and making it understandable. For example, when discussing slope, we can study downhill skiing or rooftops. When solving equations, I approach it from unraveling a number trick. I prefer to coach students on how to approach problems, and design which questions to ask themselves, rather than memorizing a list of techniques whenever possible. My funny and outgoing style blends well with all learning styles and personality types.
10 Years of teaching Math experience at the Junior High and Senior High level. I taught Basic Standards Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and ACT Test Prep.

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 strive to enhance the whole child. I believe in drawing out a child's individual and natural abilities to build a range of skills and assets. I find this approach assists the child with developing his or her own voice and perspectives in order to pertain to the task at hand. Through this approach, I find the child understands learning as a life skill that is applicable to life's issues and obstacles, and strives to meet goals with an adjusted love of learning. I strive to follow a long, short and daily goal sheet for each child and work as a teamplayer with parents, child and teachers to achieve the most beneficial results for the child's present and future. The sky is really the limit, there is always someplace to grow and achieve, whether through life experience or in academia.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 while my mother ran her own daycare, I learned to be very patient and caring for children. I believe it is important to be consistent and constructive in guiding our children to reach success. My goal is to provide a positive environment for every child in order to achieve his/her full potential.
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, readi ... read more

As a teacher I have always desired to teach in a way that I know I am communicating with my students. My teaching style includes making eye contact with my students to make sure they are with me. If I sense that their eyes have "glazed over," it is time for a change of pace. I might interject some humor or tell a short story to give them a break. I know that learning is hard work. I would also use games and projects to give them a change of pace. Sometimes I would assign a lesson for them to teach. Taking classes on field trips as an occasional alternative to classroom teaching is another tool I use, giving my students a passive learning experience. I strive to make the learning experience enjoyable.
As a high school student, I began teaching Sunday School and continued throughout my college years. While stationed in the USAF in Alaska, I decided to pursue teaching as a car ... read more
