Former Student Looking To Pass Along Her Knowledge

Because each individual student is important to me, I seek to get to know each student personally while retaining a professional demeanor. This helps me understand the student's particular needs so that I may teach the student most effectively. My naturally gentle personality makes me a patient and encouraging teacher. I strive to help each student grasp concepts rather than merely memorizing facts. I also encourage learning through discovery and hands-on experience as much as possible. I think learning is fun, and I try to communicate that enthusiasm to my students.
Learning and helping others learn are among my highest priorities in life. My high academic honors reflect this drive to learn: I earned magna cum laude in college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. My degree in English Education gave me a strong grasp of English grammar, composition, and literature; it ... read more

Graduating in 2007 with a BA in English as well as a BA in Philosophy demonstrates the motivated and hard working student I was. I chose to go abroad after college to experience the world while giving back to the global community. I traveled to Poland and taught English at a private language school for 2 ½ years. I have experience teaching all levels and ages of students. As a teacher I have perfected my grammatical and writing skills as was demanded by my students.
Learning doesn’t have to be boring! I always try to motivate my students with enthusiasm and humor so that learning becomes an exciting challenge as opposed to a daunting task.

More About This Tutor...

As a student at Grinnell College, I was motivated to achieve at a high level. During my four years of college, I earned a BA in French and Biology. I also spent four months during my third year studying in France, where I lived with a host mother and attended classes at a local university. Currently, I am working toward earning my Master's Degree in Education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I tutored college and high school students while attending college, and I currently tutor middle school and elementary students in math, reading, and science.
A variety of instructional methods must be used to engage all students in learning. In order to help a child reach his or her potential, a teacher must be willing to acknowledge that student's learning style and work toward improving the child's weaknesses while also enhancing his or her strengths. As a middle school teacher for t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Laid back, but encouraging.If a child is struggling, I don't think you should add fear and criticism to the situation. Having had Catholic nuns in all my grammer school days, pretty much put the "fear of God" into me, until I went on to public high school and college. then I was able to relax and embrace english and literature.
My BA degree was in Speech & Theatre. Who would have known that a shy kid like me would have excelled in public speaking, english, and theatre. I love the English language, even though I've had classes in French and Spanish. I started school when I was 4 years old (too early), and all my grade school years was challanged with education. Now that I am an adult, I feel that I have the experience to help children understand and find it easier to learn English and grammer, sentence writing, composition writing, essays, etc.
