Collaborative & Fun Teacher

I believe that each student has a unique learning style of that must be discovered in real-time. Therefore I tailor the lessons towards an open, organic, collaborative process. I focus on small incremental steps designed to build momentum and flow states, which is the best way to start anything. The goal of any lesson is to bring the student to a place where they can learn on their own. The purpose of learning is fun!
I worked in the financial sector for 10 years and have a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance. Since then I have focused my efforts into freelance teaching, and have worked with students in a variety of subjects: chess, math, finance, language arts, history, piano, and writing, among others. Other subjects I’ve studied informally: literature, language, history, politics & government.

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching varies with the child, their age, personality, subject, and amount of time we have. Besides teaching 2nd grade religion for 14 years my daughter has ADD. I have worked with kids who need to keep moving while they learn, to kids who need complete quiet. Some kids are more visual learners; others need to act the lesson out, while others do fine quietly reading. The important thing is to make it interesting so they WANT to learn. Older kids with a higher level of maturity don't require as entertaining a lesson. They want to see how to apply what they are learning to their life. To know there is a reason to learn makes them WANT to learn, understanding WHY they will need to know the information makes the learning easier.

Growing up in a family of six, I have patience and understanding, two things which are most important when tutoring.. I am very easy going and believe that children can do anything that they set their minds too, they just may need a step in the right direction. I understand that all children learn differently, which is why I have many learning techniques that will fit each individual.
As a graduate of University of Missouri -Columbia, I took many courses in not just math and statistics but also English and business. . I have earned a bachelor degrees of BS in Statistics, which has helped me to become an expert in both math and statistics. In addition, I have a minor in Business, which has helped me learn to work in teams and how to communicate with business associates. During the last year at school, I have tutored students in math and statistics and have not stopped doing it si ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe learning sticks when it's fun and stumbled upon! A GOOD teacher can be a gift and set a fire in a child or young adult to take on the world! I love sharing my passion for learning and understanding. I hope it's contagious!
I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've work ... read more
