Love Kids, Love Writing.

In high school, I was on our school's speech team, I competed at the varsity level all throughout high school. I placed at every competetion, without fail. I placed in advanced English classes in high school, and tested in to the second level of English classes at Western Illinois University my freshman year. I have won state wide writing competetions, and have a poem published in a book of young writers. I went to school for Journalism and Communications, but am currently taking a year off. I have also taken and passed the Illinois basic skills test, and took 2 years of Special Education courses at Western Illinois University.
I believe each student is different; therefore, I change how I approach my teachings based upon the individual.

I graduated from Augustana College with a BA in Math/Computer Science and Education and Northwestern University with and MBA in Marketing and Policy and Environment. While my initial jobs were with corporations in systems, marketing, and planning, I found I used my teaching skills on a daily basis by applying mathematics and computers, doing research and writing reports, organizing and preparing plans, teaching individuals and groups, making presentations, conducting reviews, and continuing to improve my personal and technical skills. Ten years ago, I decided to become a full-time teacher and went back to school to obtain my teaching certificate in Secondary Mathematics. While working on the certificate, I worked as a teacher's aide in elementary Math and Computer Science. During the past four years, I have taught and/or tutored high school, college, and adult students in Math, Physic ... read more

My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners. Creating a positive learning environment begins with building a strong rapport with students and coworkers. Another aspect of building a strong classroom community is motivation. As a teacher, my goal is to help student build strong self-efficacy so that they feel inclined to work hard and develop an inner sense of motivation. I use scaffolding in my instruction, so the students are able to watch me demonstrate the skill or strategy, and slowly I turn over more and more responsibilities to the student regarding that skill until he or she is able to do the skill without my assistance.
I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specializat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have trained students to think, analyse independently by making them practice more and gradually increasing their expertise to solve the most complex problems. Since the level of mentality differs with students, its my responsibility to provide them more time and use different methods to increase their level of understanding. I strongly believe that children will be able to do their best if the teacher knows what are their abilities and where they lacks. I am very considerate to my students and willing to help then in achieve their goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe that children are able to learn and grasp concepts more easily by relating the lessons and information to their everyday lives. If the material is presented in a manner where students can recall past experiences in their lives, it is much more likely to gain their attention and interest. My substitute teaching experience has taught me that praising effort and positive reinforcement are the ways to get the best results out of the students.
I have earned two bachelor degrees in History and Geology. I am presently taking online courses at Western Governors University to attain my teaching certificate. Additionally, I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-8 since 2009. I've recently completed a long-term teaching assignment including preparing my own lesson plans. I have substitute taught in all types of environments including general education and special educat ... read more

My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to ... read more

I have experience teaching many different age groups, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, learning styles, etc. I know what it takes to learn, because I have done it before, and I take what I have learned and apply it to teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

After studying the Spanish language for eight years, it has become very important to me and I love sharing my knowledge with students. To me, learning another language is a way to learn and appreciate other cultures and create opportunities for oneself. As an educator, I try to help the students discover the language and use it in realistic situations. Because I was once a novice in learning a second language, I try to give the students the positive feedback that they need to be successful.
I recently graduated with honors from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Spanish Education. Between my education classes and student teaching experience, I have learned the new and effective techniques of teaching a world language. I also had the experience of studying the Spanish language in Seville, Spain for a semester. This experience not only greatly enhanced my ... read more

I enjoy working with students and co-workers on all levels, whether they have little or no experience. I know when to recognize different styles in learning and methods I can use to accomodate each different style. I am also very patient and willing to put extra effort in with students that might have trouble learning the material presented.

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science.
I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.

A Little Bit About Me...

Ever since I can remember I have been involved with teaching. I consider myself to be patient, understanding, compassionate, and at times, a role model. I truly believe that every single student is capable of learning and success, sometimes it simply takes a new fresh perspective or a little repetition. I really enjoy helping students to understand concepts and not simply memorizing information. With true knowledge of the subject matter students are more likely to be able to apply what they have learned and remember it much longer. I also believe that successful teaching requires a lot of encouragement and a positive attitude. I want to teach so that I can help others to achieve the best of their ability.
During my undergraduate education I was very dedicated in pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and completed a variety of experiences working with ... read more

My tutoring experience started while I was attending Valencia Community College, prior to my medical school training. To date, I have received my BS in Health Sciences and my Doctorate of Medicine degree. One thing I always stood behind is education; I was told that education is the one thing no one can take away from you. This is why I believe in guiding students and helping them when they need help the most. My education has helped me be strong in many areas of Mathematics and Sciences. Science has forever been my passion but mathematics has always been my love which is why I have tutored both mathematics and sciences. It may sound cliché, but tutoring has always been a blessing to me as well as rewarding.
I enjoy tutoring and working with children of all ages. Two concepts I consider most important are learning the basics and setting small goals towards the ultimate goal wh ... read more
