A Little Bit About Me...

I have working with people of all ages since my teen years to help them excel in areas they once struggled. I currently do some subbing in local districts and help out area students in various content areas. I taught school for 12 years at the middle level, mostly in Math. I developed and implemented an AT-Risk program in the Milwaukee area. Then became a stay at home mom. I currently work at an area Insurance Company and help students when I can.
I try a variety of approaches to see what works with each student. If you have 25 students in a class, you can have 25 different learning styles. I believe a lot in hands-on and learning from others. Questions are always welcome. I continually do course work to keep up on new approaches. Being teachable is key. I have seen students I work with have success. These students range from the gifted to the so-called difficult child. ... read more

My teaching philosophy incorporates 3 concepts. My teaching is student centered, success focused and goal oriented. This means that instruction is given taking into account the student's experiences. Success focused means that the level of material is appropriate to the student creating pooportunities for the student to be successful and then allowing the teacher to build on those successes. Goal oriented means that each activity and lesson has specific learning outcomes.

My background includes a Bachelor's degree in history and economics supplemented with minors in math, music, and secondary education. I have taught high school American History and tutored economics, algebra, geometry, and calculus. I particularly enjoy working with older students who are highly motivated and focused. However, one of the great joys in tutoring can be engaging the reluctant learner to make the content interesting and relevant. My most recent teaching experience involved developing and implementing training sessions for an on-line state standards alignment company. While this experience does not cover the same content, the underlying skills are the same: conveying information so that the learner quickly understands and masters the concepts at hand. In the absence of visual cues during virtual training, I've learned to ask targeted questions to identify precisely which ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a parent of middle school students, I understand the importance of motivating students by using real world examples and providing hands-on experiences. I enjoy working one-one-one with students, learning their strengths, and using those to have fun and make meaningful progress on the curriculum. Because of my professional background, I believe in basing study on solid principles such as methodology, repetition, and use of the scientific method to help the student retain the concepts in the long term. I especially hope to be a role model to students and share the joy of working in a technical field.
I earned my mechanical engineering degree from The Ohio State University and worked as an engineer and a manager in a scientific field for over 20 years before starting my own business in information research. Throughout my life, I have naturally gravitated to a teacher/mentor ro ... read more
