Teaching comes easily to me especially with high school and college age students. I highly enjoy accelerated history, critical thinking and exploring the odd details of history. I tend to be a stern teacher with high expectations for students. This being said, I try my hardest to help students comprehend and understand the material being learned. I am fair and patient with others while also pushing them towards their goals. Outside sources and visual aids often are my strengths and work well to further illustrate the points at hand. I am an avid believer in catering to newer generations learning types as long as they are learning and getting what they need done. While earning my BA in history, I was able to lean many aspects of history. My studies ranged from the Mild Ages to the 1960s and current. I was also able to intern with the Sherburne County History Center where I learned on the

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 career.

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 with homework and labs. My specialties are basic chemistry and biology, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. 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 te

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, newsletter editor, as well as a Psychology ILP assistant allow me to excel at working with students on all types of writing assignments. 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 - es

It has been my experience, both as a student and a teacher, that people learn best with positive reinforcement and patience. When assisting students I make it my goal to explain the subject matter step by step and to avoid confusion. I also know that students are more comfortable when they feel you are truly engaged in their learning experience and concerned about their success. It is vital that educators help students utilize their education to the fullest, even beyond the classroom. Education can be the basic foundation of self-confidence and it takes passionate educators to make this happen. I reflect often on those who helped me during my academics and who taught with genuine interest in their students. I strive to be one of those teachers. I have just completed my master's degree combining courses from both biology and anthropology. My thesis concentrated on awareness of nature and

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.

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 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 grew up in a household that valued education and creative learning. As a result, I have always been driven to do my very best in all subject areas. I officially started tutoring in 2002, at Southwest Minnesota State University. My initial subjects were Algebra and Finite Math. Since then, I have tutor in a number of subject including English, vocabulary, basic Science(s) and Social Studies. I have worked with students of every age from those just starting at 3 and 4 years of age, to more non-traditional students over 50 years of age. I have also been blessed to work with students from various cultural backgrounds. I understand that each student is an individual, and I like to get to know him/her as a person. The more I am able to connect with the student, the more successful we will be in achieving academic success! My teaching style is adaptable to the student. Some students need help

My teaching style is unique in that I make the learning experience a two-way street between myself and whomever I'm teaching. I allow students to teach other students.I shun lectures in favor of open discussion. Most importantly, I incorporate different learning styles into my lesson plan so that visual, kinesthetic, oral, and linguistic learners have an equal opportunity to assimilate the information. I have tutored, supervised, and entertained children and students since the year 2002. My first job was a theater specialist position at a day camp which taught me indispensable communication and multi-tasking skills. I have since worked with students in a variety of settings, subjects, and media. This past year I've held two positions which required me to tutor "at risk" children in the areas of math, reading, composition, and anger management.

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 believe that people learn in different fashions. For example, I feel that some concepts may be better explained with tangible objects while other concepts are learned better when questioned and discussed. By exploring the different ways of learning we can find what works best for that individual and use that method as a tool for their understanding. I feel, in the past, that many of the peers I tutored not only obtained/recollected more information, but were more comfortable in a quiet, relaxed environment. By providing this, it sets the foundation for them to focus on the task at hand. Having attended higher learning institutions for over 6 years, my drive for more education is apparent. Throughout my experiences, not only have I been tutored, but have tutored my peers in mostly math and sciences. I have developed my speaking and writing abilities through my own employment experiences

I worked as a camp counselor for 3 summers, and understand that everyone has different learning styles. Personally, I am a visual learner, and I understand that when teaching lessons it is important to incorporate all aspects of learning: touch, sound, visuals, etc. I am energetic and creative and would rather do hands-on activities to drive the lesson home than to sit and memorize lists forever. Since I have a deep understanding of the English language from my Greek studies, I can help students remember the meanings of words with creative mnemonic devices. My college classmates appreciated my input when it came to test time! Attending a private liberal arts college taught me to push myself to be the very best I could be.
