I was in a program called "Study Buddies" all four years at high school. I would devote a couple afternoons a week tutoring middle school students (and eventually high school students). During this time I would help them study for tests, complete assigned work, or help clarify any material that the student didn't understand. Also, I helped these students develop their writing and grammar skills. Starting my junior and senior year of high school, I began "one on one" tutoring with selected individuals. Study buddies was a program where several students would show up and the helpers would assist accordingly, but when I began tutoring I specifically met with them at assigned times. I tutored mainly in math, but I also helped with all of their homework and helped them study for tests. I found it to be an excellent learning experience for me as well as the student.

My teaching style can be expressed as hands on, or even proactive. I like to get to know my kids and figure out how I can best teach them. There are three different learning styles and I like to involve each of them when I teach. It's important to me to have a good balance when I teach to ensure that each kid gets what they need from me. I believe that this strategy can be applied to the classroom as well. My teaching experience has been centered around a field of a court. Since the age of thirteen I have been helping a wide age group of kids learn to play soccer and basketball. When I was in high school I helped to volunteer at camps often running my own drills and games. Continuing into my college career I continued to teach soccer. At Augsburg College we have a camp each year for the kids from the Cedar-Riverside community. It is put on by the men's and women's Augsburg players. Thoug

I am very flexible and patient. I believe as a teacher one should act serve a midwife from the student to the understanding of a skill or concept. I want students to learn through instruction and fully integrate that learning through open dialogue and application. I am an enthusiastic life-long learner and teacher. I've spent my life reading and loving literature. I want to share that skill and joy with as many people as possible. My time at the University of Minnesota was a formative experience, there I learned the essentials of reading great books and articulating critical thinking through written word.

I believe strongly in Experiential learning and alternative approaches to education that involve active participation from the student. I appreciate Heidegger's view on education as he states: "Teaching is more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this: to let learn... The real teacher, in fact, lets nothing else be learned than — learning." I am a recent summa cum laude graduate from St. Catherine University in Saint Paul MN, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in French and Studio Arts. I am currently finishing a year long fellowship at the Marchutz School of Fine Arts in the South of France where I have participated in the immersive painting and drawing program in addition to providing guidance and assistance to students. In my spare time I also tutor English and French as a second language to children ages 5-10. Being extensively involved in the learni

I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers. I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people.

It is a team effort! I believe one on one tutoring sessions is an effort between tutor and student to honor and respect each other by making the most of the time. Preparation is key! Being prepared to learn is holistic and involves the mind, body and spirit to be open to receive information and process it. I promise to bring all of the above to each of my students including a professional attitude. I love teaching and tutoring children and adults. The sparkle in the eyes of students’ who complete school tasks is sufficient to make my day. My contribution to society is you, the parent and/or student who is satisfied with the tutoring experience and will impact their future for the betterment of the community. As a current tutor of the Rochester Public School system in Minnesota, I understand and work with students in K-12 grades. Specifically, I enhance the understanding of students in th

I am patient, easy going, kind and encourage laughter. My goal is to engage children in the things they are naturally interested in and to make learning fun.

I am both patient and enthusiastic in my teaching style, believing that learning and growing offer tremendous rewards, even as there are inevitable challenges to be overcome along the way. I have experience teaching all generations, from young children to older adults, and believe that learning comes in all different forms and styles. One of my favorite aspects of teaching is seeing students have their own particular breakthrough where a difficult concept or principle becomes clear. I am an avid learner and enjoy teaching and providing the same educational opportunities to others that were afforded to me. I have two Master degrees along with a Bachelor degree, with particular teaching emphases in History and English grammar and composition. I have experience teaching English, tutoring international students, and, I recently served as a weekly newspaper columnist for two years.

I think I have gained a great understanding and insight of all the subjects required to tutor children.

I primarily use a question-and-answer technique. I am very adept at identifying when a student's understanding of a subject is not where it should be. I'm also an expert in using examples to explain a point. Especially when explaining technical things I can use non-technical examples to offer enlightenment. For example, while helping one of my sons learn college calculus I related first differentials to a police officer detecting speeders. I also have many years of experience and can provide examples for many learning experiences from my own background. I have a Bachelor's degree in engineering as well as an MBA. Both degrees were achieved with very high GPAS. I have a vocational teaching certificate from the State of Minnesota and have taught computer programming in vocational school. I've also spent many years as a project manager. In that position I was responsible for de
