Award-Winning English Tutors in Madison, WI

...love teaching because I love learning, and I want to help other people find that same love of learning that I had growing up, because that guides me through life. I especially enjoy teaching writing and math. I'm sure this is heavily influenced by the fact that I learned those skills from two of the greatest teachers I ever had -- my mom for math, and a woman named Amy for writing.... Listen first. Understand a...

...pretty much every other STEM field. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that in order to give useful feedback to a student I need to observe and listen to them just as much they need to listen to me. Only then can I see what they need help understanding and how best to approach explaining it to them by building on their strengths. I think it's important to allow students time to think about...

...preparation (SAT, PSAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE, AP). I studied by myself with only the study aids that are available on the market for every standardized test that I teach. While this isn't a great strategy for everyone, I find that my knowledge of the tests and the best study materials/methods is far deeper after having gone through all the work by myself than if I had had help. I know what doesn't work, but more...

...will soon start working toward my education licensure. My experience tutoring students in languages (Spanish/English), and also business administration/marketing has been very rewarding. In my spare time I like working out and physical activities; I like to stay active. I also enjoy quiet activities such as reading or playing strategy games on my PC. I believe everyone has the potential to learn and grow, but we all need guidance. Patience and perseverance are the keys...

I am an educator who loves to help students reach their goals. I have taught for many years, and always enjoy the challenge of working with a student who is struggling with the content they've been assigned. My goal as a tutor is to help students succeed while challenging them to use their critical thinking skills, regardless of the subject.... I spend some time getting to know the student and try to quickly understand their needs,...

...assisted students in Philosophy, Geological Science, general college writing, and career search skills, including resumes and cover letters.

I look forward to working together toward...

...writing, and imaginative engagement with the world that I hope to share with my students. I also believe that my role is working alongside students to: 1) nurture enthusiasm for subjects they're drawn to 2) be a safe place to process frustration around and move through subjects that are more difficult 3) learn what their academic and future dreams are, and support them as best I can in my role as a tutor. In college...

...a run of the mill english paper. I'm passionate about these subjects because I believe that the power to make a difference starts with the written word; in understanding it and being able to pragmatically put it into use. No meaningful change can happen without the ability to properly articulate one's thoughts and feelings by way of the written word. And I try to instill that passion for the written word into each one of...

...with a concentration in cellular and molecular biology. Since graduation, I have been working as a scientist in cancer biology.

...experience and skill with minority, special needs, and at-risk students. Similarly, I extended my experiences teaching secondary social sciences in Wisconsin. Again, the demographic was predominantly special needs and students at risk. Licenses and certifications are essential elements of any teacher's portfolio. Experience gives life to the titles; however, the skill to build functional and compassionate relationships makes a teacher. Above all else, a teacher must be genuine and connect with a student in a...

...many children over my career with learning challenges. I use phonics heavily in my reading instruction as this is where I have typically found the most need. My masters degree also focused on the effectiveness of phonics instruction for elementary-aged students. I like to think that I convey my own enjoyment of language and thus elevate what might seem like a basic skill to a child. I take language and the power it holds very...

...undergraduate and am currently pursuing a Master's in curriculum and instruction at UW. I love helping students become better writers and seeing the beauty in old literature. As somebody that hated English in high school and middle school, I feel I bring a unique perspective and relationship to the subjective that I have struggled to create. I hope to share this unique perspective with those who also cringe at the thought of writing an essay...

...at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, and volunteered with an after-school engineering club at the Goodman Center. I also held the position of Resident Assistant for two years with University Housing, where I served as an academic and mental health resource for seventy-eight first year students.

...long for children to grow up with a sense of wonder and self-worth. I desire that all children know how beautiful and special they are for their own unique talents. I need children to know they are so much more than a number on a page. These values are important to me because children are important to me. Children deserve the opportunity to be themselves without judgement or fear. My priority will always be my...
