...kids in after school workshops teaching simple computer programs. I tutor both math and music. Having an affinity for the logic of math, I use that to help understand, my favorite subject, music. Music is wonderful because it is quite varied but it all has the same basics. You can start with a few notes and build it up to a symphony. This step by step process is how I approach most things. Outside music,...

...firmly of the belief that learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the language on a...

...the care of my young grandson. In my free time I love reading, music, and learning Spanish. All of my life I have enjoyed learning new skills and solving problems. When something has to be done, I want to solve the challenge of finding the easiest and simplest way to achieve that goal. I want to meet people where they are and together discover where they would like to be. I want to agree on...

I hope to help you or your student on the path to successful language learning...

...Grammar tutor. My goals as a tutor are to help students become more comfortable with the material that they are learning, to give them the tools necessary to develop study skills that are effective for them, and to impart upon them the same passion for learning that I possess, because I have seen that passion is a great motivator and tends to predict remarkable improvement. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy writing creatively, trying...

I am a recent graduate from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN where I studied Math and Classics. While at St. Olaf I spent three years tutoring for the on-campus Academic Support Center.

I want everyone to be able to see that they are capable of excelling.

...and have a Bachelor's degree in Music from the University of Colorado, Boulder where I studied voice. Having been a serious student of music in the past, I of course enjoy classical music; my favorites these days are the Baroque masters.

...become a counselor for high school and college students. While studying abroad in Amsterdam, I tutored English, and during college, I tutored students in French. I also enjoy helping fellow classmates edit and revise their college papers. My favorite subject though is Psychology. I believe students should be given every opportunity to learn and should be excited to learn, and I look forward to encouraging students in their learning. I will guide students, but I...

I believe teaching and learning are a combination of factors that come together to help people better themselves on a daily basis. Hard work, creativity, helping others, goal setting, and connecting to one's own personal struggles and triumphs are integral to giving the teacher and student a chance to excel and achieve the small wins necessary to build up to sustained success. ... Teaching is a combination of speaking, listening, writing, motivating, and connecting to the...

Some of the subjects I have tutored include College Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus I-III, Differential Equations with Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, and Statistics.

I want to help students...

...as minors in creative writing and computer science. While I do not have any formal experience with teaching, I have spent much of my academic career tutoring friends and family to help them succeed in school, and I have personally improved the grades of many of my peers through studying sessions with me by as much as 30%. I am a friendly and casual tutor, but my enthusiasm for helping others to learn is likely...

...professional environment. As a tutor, I believe that everyone benefits from encouragement - so many times the barrier to learning is confidence! Students often know more than they realize, and I like to guide the student in the process of discovering their own natural talents. I like to teach using questions and supporting students through active problem solving from the beginning. I recently moved to the Twin Cities from Arizona and I love exploring the...

...language. When I wasn't working on academics, I wrote for the newspaper, served as a new student mentor with transfer students, and worked at a toy store in a nearby mall. Currently, I'm working toward my MA in early childhood education from Concordia University. I also take Spanish classes. After tutoring middle and high school students in math, social studies, literature, writing, and Spanish during my undergrad, I completed a year of service with Minnesota...

...help people out with some of the classes that are hard to wrap around, hard to focus on, or just plain hard. I understand that at times it is really difficult to try again and again to get to a solution and never come up right. So I'm here to help out a bit, wherever I can. If you need a different way of looking at the problem, a different way to learn the material,...
