I am very passionate about seeing someone suddenly gain understanding about a specific concept. I strive to understand first the learning style of any student and create new ways to connect to them via that learning style. I emphasize communication and understanding questions and doubts of the student to maximize learning and retention, and I make learning fun and relevant. I am very patient and easy to relate to, and I try to be a friend before anything else; I am a tutor, they already have a teacher, and I specialize in supplementing what they know with what they need in addition. My goal is to help each student not only master their current assignments, but learn key concepts that will change their lives.
For the last two years I have enjoyed working at the Brigham Young University -Hawaii Reading Writing Center as a tutor and center manager. My passion has been to help others l ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently finished a double-major in college and maintained a GPA of 3.75. I took many education courses throughout my college career in obtaining my degree in Childrens' Studies. I have helped tutor in biology, earth science, social studies, English, algebra, reading, and Spanish.
I absolutely love working with kids and teens. I believe that all children want to experience success, but each might define "success" a little bit differently. I am willing to take the time to find out what motivates each individual student and go the extra mile to help them. I am a firm believer in experiential education and try to relate what a student is learning in class to something they love, engaging and involving them in the process as much as possible. As a tutor, I do my best to make things fun while also making progress.

More About This Tutor...

I was an American Read tutor at two elementary schools. I worked with kindergarteners and third graders to enhance their reading skills. In a one on one setting with approved books and kept them on track will goals that we set to meet each each. While I earned a bachelor's of science in Zoology where I took human anatomy. I have also tutored my younger four siblings through school.
I get to know the student first and see how best he/she learns. and go from there. I have worked with so many different personalities that I have been able to help each the best I can with understanding and patience. Tutoring a subject that I also had to learn will make it easier to teach them the tools that I needed to do the same. I hope that by showing how I did and that it was doable that they too can do it.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a 5th grade bilingual teacher, I have a strong commitment to each of my students. I tutor students outside of classroom time in order to ensure that they are successful. I have experience tutoring students in mathematics and reading. My graduate work consisted of an MA in teaching with an emphasis on research. I am also well versed in math, science, history, reading, and writing, and I earned a certificate of excellence for my elementary content knowledge on the Praxis test.
I love teaching children and finding ways of making learning come alive for them. I am always looking for creative ways to help students connect with what they are learning. For example, as a summative project in our unit on circuit electricity, my students built small, electric go-karts. Additionally, I am firmly committed to establishing a strong foundation of academic knowledge for my students. I ... read more

I have a Master of Arts degree in English from Utah State University and have taught EFL overseas and within the US. Recently (from 07-08), I worked as a Math Tutor for challenged fifth graders and also for Kindergarteners part-time at Lincoln Elementary in Layton while my son was in pre-school. I am competent in elementary math and sincerely enjoy helping others to find the inherent beauty of numbers and what they can do.
I love kids - they are often sweet, funny, easily impressed and are a great audience. I know that it is possible to make learning fun through a close, interactive relationship with a student - showing and guiding them through your own discovery of the subject. There have been times when I could feel one of my students learning; it is always a smile-provoking moment and I treasure every one.

As I finish a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in training and development, I realize that I want to continue my formal educational while sharing my love of learning. My prior formal education includes a double bachelor in Honors Comparative Literature and Honors French earned with University Honors. My teaching and tutoring experience began in high school where I was a teaching assistant for the elementary special education classes. In college I was a teaching assistant for the honors department, taught English in Russia and Belgium and tutored friends in French. After college, I found myself “teaching” adults. As a national management trainee for Sears, I facilitated employee career development seminars. I trained military personnel internationally on software, have presented several classes to community organizations and, more formally, substituted fo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I really enjoy teaching because I am passionate about the things that I am teaching and like to encourage passion for learning in others. I always strive to show my students the connection between the work they do in the classroom and its connection to society and the world as a whole. I feel that encouraging such a relationship with the work makes students more willing to seek out knowledge in and out of the classroom.
I completed my BA in English at the University of Utah in two and a half years in order to begin work on my MA in English as quickly as possible. In the half year between completing my BA and beginning my MA, I was a substitute teacher in the Jordan School District in Sandy, UT. I have just finished my first year in the English MA program at Boston College where I was also a tutor at the Connors Family Learning Center. In addition to school and tutoring, I also ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While attending school I have had many experiences teaching and tutoring a variety of students. I have served as a student teacher in the second and fourth grade, and have taught lessons in a fifth-sixth grade split, as well as a first-grade classroom. I also have experience in two YMCA CARES after school programs. In both programs, I have worked closely with the students, tutoring, chaperoning field trips, as well as planning and arranging activities.
It is important that I create a supportive, safe, environment in which all learners can grow and succeed. I will do this by celebrating the diversity in my students, creating lessons that support the varied learning styles, using research based teaching methods, and by differentiating my lessons so that all the varied learning levels can thrive. I will also encourage exploration, risk taking, and remove the stigma of making a mis ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is my passion. I am patient with children and flexible around their learning styles. I know not all students learn in the same ways. I am here to work with your child to find the best way for them to learn. I believe that learning should be fun. I also strive to show children how they will use what they are learning in real life so they can understand the importance. I love building relationships with my students on a individual level and tutoring on a one to one basis is the best way to do so.

Teaching is something at which I feel I excel. I feel the best way to learn changes in each individual. Not just children, but adults as well. I seek out the best way for individuals to learn and go from there, whether that be through reading, interaction or visual stimuli. Anyone can learn, and achieve whatever they want, they just need to find the appropriate way to do it, and find the motivation to do so. I feel I can help any child do just that.
Learning has always been important to me. I've always strived to further my education and find new things to learn. I have earned a Master's degree in Integrated Marketing Communications, which involved english, writing, math, business, reading and of course marketing. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications. A lot more english, and writing was had, but also included a great deal of editing and grammar skills. During co ... read more

As a Weber State graduate, I majored in Zoology and minored in Chemistry. Even though science has always been a passion of mine, I am very knowledgeable in math. During my undergraduate studies, I have gained even more experience and improved on my grammatical skills. I had the opportunity to be an Anatomy lab instructor for three semesters. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to tutor my wife with her math. At first, this was a challenge. Math is a subject where one cannot only rely on memory. I found that it's best to be very patient and teach the processes of mathematic principles, rather than just assume the person whom you're tutoring knows these processes.
I never realized exactly why people go into teaching until I gained first hand experience. Teaching is one of the most rewarding things one can do as a profession. When I first started lab instructing, I immedia ... read more

I enjoy the challenge of teaching, I love enriching the lives of both children and adults. My experience has taught me that each person learns in his own way. I am patient, understanding and willing to implement a varity of approaches to learning to find how your child learns to provide the best opportunity for academic success. It is my goal to open up the world for the student so that they not only understand the “how?” to learning but the "Why?" And the way learning a subject can enrich their lives regardless of their cultural background, nationality or belief system.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe the most important trait a teacher can have is enthusiasm as it can be contagious and get students to completely engage a subject. I strive to be enthusiastic and dynamic in a teaching setting. I also believe in working to tie concepts and ideas to students' everyday lives. This approach brings students closer to the subject matter and also helps with retention of material. Lastly, I believe it is important to have a nurturing environment in which no question goes unasked because the student feels uncomfortable. By being open, enthusiastic, and tying material to the world around us, I am able to help students realize their potential.
I graduated from Hampshire College with a degree in Anthropology and Photography. These degrees required rigorous researching including an intensive semester of independent field study. My field study culminated in a 70 page thesis and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that children are born smart. Some of them have special learning challenges and some have been taught to believe that they are not smart. By treating children as though they are intelligent and providing encouragement and learning opportunities, I have seen children grow and progress in almost astonishing ways. The sparkle in a child's eyes when they finally "get it" is the best paycheck.
After finishing my Masters Degree in Education I taught one year in a private school then opened my own business tutoring primarily homeschool students during the school year. The students I have worked with are primarily ages 11-18, but my experience with my own children includes the primary grades. I have tutored most subjects including reading, writing, science, history and math (through algebra).
