Award-Winning Tutors from Webster University

I am a certified k-8 teacher in the state of Oklahoma with a demonstrated track record of helping even the lowest performing middle school students achieve their academic goals. I've been supporting students for over 20 years in the US and overseas with language acquisition and reading comprehension skills. I love it when concepts finally click and students gain confidence and mastery in areas they previously struggled!

I graduated from both Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and Webster University. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Special Education minor as well as a Master of Arts in Counseling and an MBA. I have over 20 professional years advocating and giving a voice to the issues plaguing communities, 10 years in the classroom as a Substitute Teacher and countless years as a tutor.I have extensive experience with learners who have other contributing factors which hinder them academically. It is my belief all students are able to achieve academic success and I work tireless to identify strategies to assist them in overcoming hurdles. I tutor a broad range of subjects and age groups. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling around the country, engaging in community art projects, walking and curling up with a good book. I am a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and very active in numerous volunteer activities.

I have been in the field of education for 30 years. I have a Bachelor's of Arts in Elementary Education, Master's of Arts in Teaching - Curriculum and Instruction and an Education Specialist degree in Adminstration/Superintendency. I taught a variety of subjects grades K-8, but the majority of my teaching career was in the area of middle school math. I have been a middle school assistant principal for 16 years and still currently serve in this role. In addition to my full time job as an administrator, I have tutored online English Language learners for the past 3 years. It is important to me that I personally stay connected to teaching, and the online tutoring platform allows me to do so. I enjoy watching students learn new concepts. I enjoy the challenge of finding new strategies and approaches that will make a connection between the student and the content. I would love to meet you and help you with whatever academic challenges you may be experiencing.

I am a graduate of The University of California at Davis. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science with a focus on modern European History. I also received a Masters of Arts from Webster University in International Relations. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively throughout Japan, Korea and parts of the Middle East. I have experienced numerous cultures, in my travels, and love learning about them. I am very passionate about History, geography and world affairs and I love reading about the subjects which helps to keep me up to date in them. In tutoring history I believe that it is best to tell history as a story. To let the student know that the people in history were real people and at times they had to make difficult decisions. I truly believe that education and knowledge is the key to success in this world. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, working out, gardening, computer programming-with python and of course reading. Reading, to me, is where one's mind expands and becomes more open.

Teaching Lives, Touching Hearts! As a semi-retired former Director of Human Resources, I have settled into my second career- teaching.

I recently retired from teaching at the same school for over 25 years! I taught 2nd grade for several years, and have spent the last 15 years as an Elementary Reading Intervention Specialist working with students from Kindergarten - 5th grade. I have also tutored many students outside of the school day to review and strengthen previously taught skills, provide additional practice or model strategies and enrich their understanding of and response to what they read. I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Elementary Education and from Webster University with a Master's of Arts in Teaching with an emphasis in reading. In addition, I hold a K-12 special reading certification. One of my specialties is the close observation and identification of students' reading behaviors, and then using those observations to determine the specific item knowledge or skills students need to grow as readers and learners. At times, that can include clearing up their confusions or designing lessons to respond to their learning styles and individual needs. I have been trained in various intervention programs and understand the connection between listening, speaking, reading and writing. I have experience with developing students' phonemic awareness and understand the importance of linking what students hear to what they see when they read and write. I believe in building upon what students already know, imparting confidence so they can see themselves as learners, and fundamentally, that all children can achieve success. I enjoy reading in my free time and try to instill a love of books in my students. Some of my other hobbies are riding my bike, doing yoga and going to the beach with my family and friends as often as we can.

I am currently a Political Science and History Professor in the Midwest with cosmopolitan perspectives. My hope is to tutor enterprising students in their own respective intellectual journey in regards to their academic pursuits.

I am a graduate of Walden University (Minneapolis, MN) and have attained a doctoral degree in Finance. I also received a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Webster University (Saint Louis, MO), and a Bachelor of Business (BBA) Administration degree in Computer Information Systems from Campbell University (Buies Creek, NC). I have continued to pursue professional development courses to keep abreast of the latest educational and innovative opportunities in our society. My teaching experience consists of facilitating adult education courses (Math and Reading) at a community college in Maryland, teaching biblical lessons and designing curriculums (age appropriate) for Pre-K though teenagers at my church in Maryland; also, being promoted to a leadership position as the Director of Children's Ministry within 2 years. Furthermore, leading and directing over 200 students and 15 teachers weekly, while interacting with parents and the pastoral staff. In addition, I taught Personal Finance classes to middle school students at another church located in Maryland (during the pandemic) and applied real-life financial principles with my students. Lastly, I taught computer and travel credit card courses to military and civilian personnel within the Department of the Army (Budget Office) in Maryland. I teach a variety of subjects; however, I am very passionate about teaching Personal Finance, Writing, and Business. Being a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI) gives me the experience of helping students understand financial principles and prepare for their financial success at early stages in their life. I believe knowledge is power and I enjoy adapting my lessons and materials to help each student progress, engage, and stay motivated during their academic journey.

I am passionate about helping students unlock the full potential of Excel and gain confidence with data, formulas, and analysis. My approach is to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. Fluent in English, French, and Arabic, I bring patience, real-world examples, and a supportive, encouraging approach to every lesson. What excites me most is seeing students grow in confidence, take ownership of their learning, and develop skills they can use immediately.

I was born and raised in Italy, with Italian being my primary language and therefore being a native Italian speaker and would love to pass on the knowledge and help students improve their conversational Italian. I believe that every student can succeed when they are taught in a way that works best for them.

Whether a student learns through visual examples, hands-on practice, or step-by-step explanations, I adapt my teaching methods to help them gain confidence, overcome challenges, and reach their goals.

I'm passionate about all types of design and have been working professionally as a designer for over 20 years. I also love teaching design! I've been continuously teaching various fields of Digital,Graphic, Game, Web and UX Design for almost 20 years.

I think all students can be successful in their learning and that sometimes it just takes a little bit of success for students to gain confidence in their abilities. I have been told that I'm good at making complicated concepts understandable. I love getting to see students experience the moment when difficult concepts finally make sense. My favorite subjects to work with students on are PreCalc with Trigonometry and ACT Prep.

I obtained my education in Canada and in The Netherlands. I have acquired a BA in Psychology with a minor in international relations along with a certificate as a TEFL teacher. The subjects I tutor are English, mathematics, psychology, biology, science, and social science. We look at the theory in psychology, poetry, look at grammar and pronunciation, Resume writing and essay writing.. I am passionate about helping students because they are our future and I find that the educational system does not prepare students enough for the real world. I have been a counsellor for 5 years working with individuals with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, depression, and anxiety. My experience working with students from all around the world is that they are eager to learn when you can show them how to learn or study in a way that they can connect the information to their everyday life. This way, they are able to retain the information and apply it to different parts of their life or different subjects when they are studying. Seeing connections between topics I find is very important because then students will see the importance of the subject.

I am passionate about helping students recognize that learning is a lifelong journey, one that continues even after graduation as we share our knowledge with others. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in guiding high school, college, and adult learners in achieving their academic goals, particularly in English and Spanish. Tutoring in Spanish holds a special place for me as it is my native language, and I aim to empower my students to communicate effectively in Spanish-speaking countries. I hold two master's degreesone in Business Administration and another in Health Administrationfrom Webster University, along with a bachelor's degree in General Studies with a minor in Education from Columbia College.

As a tutor with a passion for data science and programming, I am also well-versed in machine learning and deep learning techniques. These powerful tools are revolutionizing the way we approach complex problems in a wide range of fields, from finance and healthcare to marketing and social media analysis. My approach to teaching these techniques is to focus on building a solid understanding of the underlying principles and algorithms. We'll start by covering the basics of linear and logistic regression, decision trees, and clustering. From there, we'll dive into more advanced topics like neural networks and convolutional networks, exploring how these techniques can be used for image and text classification, natural language processing, and more. Throughout our lessons, I will provide hands-on examples and practical applications to reinforce your understanding of these concepts.

I find the process of nurturing and cultivating a garden to be both therapeutic and rewarding, and it's a great way to get some fresh air and exercise. Speaking of exercise, I believe that physical fitness is crucial for maintaining good health and overall well-being. Whether it's going for a run, practicing yoga, or hitting the gym, I make it a priority to stay active and keep my body moving. Of course, spending time with family is also incredibly important to me. Whether it's a weekend getaway or just a simple family dinner, I cherish the time I get to spend with my loved ones. It's a great reminder of what truly matters in life and helps me maintain perspective in both my personal and professional endeavors. By balancing my passion for data science and programming with these other activities, I am able to approach each day with renewed energy and focus. I believe that investing time in ourselves and our relationships is crucial for achieving success in all areas of our lives.

I believe education should be a transformative experience that empowers students to become active, engaged citizens capable of positively impacting their world. I strive to create a classroom environment where students feel encouraged to learn through experience and relevance, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills while reaching their full potential, and preparing them to become active members of our community.

Work hard in silence, let success make the noise.A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.Luck favors the prepared.As an educator the most dangerous phrase you can ever say is, "We have always done it that way."

I am a graduate of Webster University, where I received my Masters in Marketing. While studying at Webster, I was a substitute teacher for the Hickman Mills School District, grades K-8th. During my entire college career, I have always had a job working with kids. After graduation, I always tried to make sure that I still had an opportunity to work with kids on the enhancement of their education and tutoring became a great way to do so. I have now been a tutor for 8 years, and I have loved every minute of it. Knowing that you can make a difference educationally in a small child's life means a lot.
