I passionate about teaching and education.

...on encouragement and asking lots of questions. My goal is to give my students the tools they need to significantly improve their work by effectively maximizing their personal gifts and knowledge. My first meeting with you will include a conversation about the most effective studying styles for you, because every student is different! I am an avid reader and always have a new favorite book to recommend to my friends, and my favorite reading spot...

...student learning needs, along with making each lesson engaging for the student. I am available to tutor virtually and would also be willing to meet with students in-person, depending on location. I have tutored and feel comfortable teaching a variety of subject areas but the areas that I am most passionate about are reading, writing, and social studies. I am a graduate of UW Stevens Point with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Early...

I'm a lifelong educator, former professor and counselor who believes in the importance of fostering and cultivating individual strengths and interests in order to address areas of need.

...professional journalist, so I write for a living and I'm constantly having to learn about new new industries, new terms, new people. It's a wonderful job because it makes me a permanent student of the world, but I miss interacting with young students. I 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...

...skills. I loved teaching this age group and only stopped working there in order to further my education. After I decided to go back to school, I worked a substitute teacher. I have experienced subbing in grades 1st through 5th, as well as all Middle School and High School grade levels. I also worked as a lead teacher for a private Pre-K program for 6 months. I worked there until I was hired in the...

...all subject areas and am involved with our Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Science Curriculum which is engineering based on STEM practices. I am an avid reader and like reading instruction. My favorite books are the "Harry Potter" and "Percy Jackson" Series. Although, my favorite book is "My Side of the Mountain" written by Jean Craighead George. I also enjoy teaching anything with technology whether it be an iPad, Chromebook, or Windows device. In my...

...of interest in this tutoring position are in reading and general mathematics for elementary and middle grade students. My approach is to begin by assessing needs of the student. Sometimes this is done informally and other times it is more of a formal, written process. Once we understand needs, then we can make a plan for moving forward. Outside of education, I play guitar and steel guitar and restore old pinball and arcade games.... My teaching...

Together we will learn in a relaxed and calm environment. I love to laugh and bring humor into the classroom. Be prepared to work hard and have fun. Learning is a great adventure. Let's explore together.

...After graduation, I taught English as a Second Language to 450 6th-8th graders at a public school in India for a year. While in India I also worked at a local non-profit, teaching basic literacy skills to disadvantaged young girls. I love teaching reading and writing, which luckily is involved in almost every subject! I am passionate about helping students who have a poor relationship with learning and only find it boring. Education should be...

...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 seriously.

...experience allows me to tutor a wide range of subjects from reading comprehension and English grammar to AP Spanish. Most recently, I worked in an elementary school doing homework support and am very familiar with K-5th curriculums. This allows me to identify and fill gaps that elementary students might have in any subject including math. I took the ACT in high school and have worked with high schoolers to test prep so I have a...

...be a student; I used to hate math, and in high school my grades were barely passable. The key to learning and succeeding is not only to have a desire to learn, but to have a teacher that can match your learning style. I like to take time to get to know who I'm working with so that I can build a bond and match my abilities to my students' needs. I'm also pretty funny....

...a variety of additional special needs. I believe that all students have the potential to achieve, and I tailor my instruction to allow each individual student to reach their highest potential. I have worked one-on-one with many students and enjoy that setting because it allows me to focus all my energy on making sure that one student learns the information needed. Through teaching, I have learned to be flexible and how to present information in...

Hi! My name is Patrick, and I'm currently a neuroscience/psychology researcher at UW Madison. Teaching is one of my passions - I love being able to help students learn and understand class material.

...lover of learning - both for myself and others. I don't think there's ever a point in life where learning isn't important. I have experience in a mix of subject areas, including a BA in Psychology and an MA in Industrial Organizational Psychology. My goal is to always be able to individualize learning to each person. It's important to me to teach to where someone is, not where anything thinks they should be. With that,...

Hello there! My brother always said I would end up a teacher one day, and here I am! I want to help every student find their voice and be effective communicators. I have a passion for the English language in all its forms. I am always learning and growing, and I fundamentally believe you have to teach in order to keep growing. I look forward to exploring the power of language with you. Sincerely, Scarlet.

...school students in math, science, reading, and history, as well as helping my students prepare for AP and college entrance tests. In my tutoring sessions, I aim to tailor the tutee's time to their own learning style, rather than just a "one-size-fits-all" mentality. Over time, I like to really get to know my students so that I can really get to a point where we don't need to meet! As counter-intuitive as that sounds, I...

...with a baccalaureate degree in Elementary Education (grades 1-8) and a minor in Recreation Leadership. I strive to combine the two when teaching students. Most educators would agree that there are primarily three types of learning: reading, visual, and hands on and most people learn things using all three styles. Students may use these skills together, at one time, or use these skills separately (depending on individual learning styles). Another thing learned, from an audiologist,...
