I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people. I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers.

Every child learns differently. In a world where we corporately streamline everything so that it all comes out pre-packaged and exactly the same we often lose sight of how unique each person is. I find that listening carefully to a child's reasons for having difficulty can help you to better understand how to help them learn. I find that children are often given too little credit - especially children with special needs. All children can be more than the world expects them to be. I just enjoy helping them realize that. My degree in psychology has enabled me to understand all children better, and to work especially well with special needs students. I have experience tutoring students from the ages of 3 to 40+. Subject-wise I have taught Writing, ESL, Spanish and Karate. I have even given self-esteem building talks to grade-schoolers and middle-schoolers. My experiences as a writing tutor,

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.

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.

My goal is to provide information in small steps which eventually lead to the mastery of a subject. I include problem-solving and critical thinking in my teaching, since this will eventually lead to an independent student who really understands the subject. Even though my teaching style may remain the same, my goal is to accurately determine what learning style the student has. I have always strived to excel in my education, and I want to eventually become a college chemistry professor. I have earned two bachelor degrees from St. Cloud State University, a BS in Biochemistry and a BS in Biology, which have allowed me to obtain a very large base of knowledge in both chemistry and biology. I excelled in Organic Chemistry in school, and performed Organic Chemistry research as an undergraduate. I also was a teaching assistant in college, and taught pre-lab lectures and assisted students wit

I am a firm believer that EVERY can learn and deserves the right to an excellent education. As an educator, I do anything that I can to meet the needs of all my students. I encourage critical thinking/reasoning skills, lively discussion, and many hands-on and engaging opportunities for my students. I believe that teaching should be culturally responsive in order to be motivating, engaging, and powerful for all students. I have always had a passion for teaching and learning. I graduated from Wittenberg University with two BA degress- one in Early Childhood Education, and the other in Spanish. I taught first grade for two years in Virginia, and this past year have begun graduate work at the University of Minnesota. I will have an MA in Literacy Education, and an additional licensure in K-12 Reading. I have a passion to bring all children to the highest levels of literacy as I belie

I am in the Education field to make a difference in student’s lives. I hope to do this through instruction and example. I believe these two elements intertwined and essential for any educator. I am value the “Teacher as facilitator” education model. Today, I classify my teaching style as a constructivist theory with humanist elements. I believe that a combination of these three models will ensure the greatest amount of learning for students as I prepare them for further education. In my experience, working with at-risk, failing, or youth in general requires a level of acceptance from the student. Educators cannot reach that level if they talk down to their students. I feel I am able to bridge that gap and reach students on a personal level. I will graduate from the College of Saint John’s University this spring with a major in English Education. Classes I have taken at CSB/SJU include ex

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. Hello!

I have somewhat of a unique situation, but I have been working with kids for many years. During my Junior and Senior Years in high school, i worked with 5th and 6th graders in my school, tutoring with Math and Language. Upon graduating high school, I was asked to volunteer as a teaching assistant with an older woman who wanted help teaching 5th graders. I attended college classes during my off-time (which was usually evenings), and I am still taking college classes now. Since I have been working with her, though, I teach about half of the classes, and I have taught both 4th and 5th grade since 2002. I teach math, language arts, spelling, reading, and have worked with some special needs students. I have a lot of patience, and have worked as a teacher with all sorts of students for the past 6 years. Because I have had so many different students with different learning styles, I have le
