Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Winsted, MN

Academic achievement shapes individuals and influences direction and outcomes in life. As a life-long learner, I believe in the power of education. I have earned a bachelors degree and a masters degree from private, liberal arts colleges. Through my diverse studies and report writing, I have gained extensive gramatical and communication skills. As a result of my education, I have been able to help tutor other students in their studies. Just as we are all unique individuals, learning styles are uniquely individual too. We all process information and learn in different ways. For greatest learning success, teaching can be tailored to individual styles. Depending on the individual learner, styles can range from traditional to more discovery-based approaches. I believe in tailoring tutoring to the learner's unique style to achieve academic success.

This past year I graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College with a Bachelor’s in History and Medieval Studies. I have studied abroad at Oxford University, and in Rome and Romania, and have a lot of experience in writing research reports and essays. As a student of the liberal arts I have studied a wide variety of subjects, from theology to environmental science, from Old English to statistics and am comfortable in almost any subject. During this past academic year I tutored a home schooled child one on one several hours a week in world history and research methodology; I was in effect his sole teacher in the subject and also helped him improve his writing and study skills. For the past four years I have taught chess to children aged six to ten, emphasizing analytical skills.

I am a studio art graduate with focuses in Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking from Taylor University. I am also a passionate and practicing artist, enthusiastic about learning in the arts as well stirring up a passion for the arts in others. I am also pursuing my Master of Fine arts in Painting in the near future. The skills I have acquired in my four year study in the arts have equipped me to confidently help others who are struggling in such areas. I have participated in critiques as well as aided fellow students in painting classes and drawing classes. It is rewarding to know you have impacted someone positively and perhaps increased their desire to learn, and their joy in learning as well. A teacher's passion for a subject is not only inspiring, but also contagious. I enjoy my own work so much so that I long to see others achieve the same joy and satisfaction. As such, I strive to be

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 job techniques and how to interact with children. Though teaching was not my primary role at the History Center, I was exposed to many opportunities not only to teach but to help others track down their lineage. 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

I studied post secondary in high school and graduated in the top ten of my class. I was on the deans list every year of my college career. I was a teachers aid at the University of Minnesota for three years in the anatomy department. I was a the lead embalmer for the University and worked for the Anatomy bequest program. I was licensed in mortuary science in 2007 and have been working as a funeral director and Retail manager for the past three years. I believe that the purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves, or to assist or guide them to the point at which they become an independent learner. I know that the content knowledge is an essential ingredient for a tutor; however, to be truly effective, i believe a tutor must combine content knowledge with empathy, honesty and humor. In addition I demonstrate a caring attitude. Caring consists of being organized for the tutorin

My teaching style is, for the most part, non-directive. I think it is important to try to have students answer their own questions. When this does not work, I do not just tell the student what goes where or why this doesn't work, I give reasons and have them tell me these same reasons the next time we come across something that doesn't work. At SCSU, I work as a writing consultant at the Writing Center on campus. With students, I help to make them better writers by helping answer questions, presenting questions, working through the brainstorming and paper-writing process, and helping with formatting. As well, I have helped to coordinate our second satellite location, which entails working with people on their schedules, managing conflicts of schedule, and serving as a head of the second location. I am also fluent in Spanish and feel comfortable tutoring high school and college levels.

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 teaching style may remain the same, my goal is to accurately determine what learning style the student has. 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 wit

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

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

While attending and completing four years of Education courses at a well respected institution I was focused and driven to complete the curriculum and focus on creative lesson planning. Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task.

Most of my experience is related to the Social Sciences, however I have substitute taught several math and science classes. I have also completed multiple college courses in math and science.
