I tell my kids all the time that words are the most powerful tool we have. As human beings, our ability to communicate is part of the reason we're at the top of the food chain. In my humble opinion, words are the only thing powerful enough to both hurt and destroy, heal and empower.From a young age, words fascinated me and I've spent most of my life studying, teaching, and communicating my passion for the English language.I have a B.A in English Literature from St. Cloud State University where I studied literature, creative writing, and linguistics. I have graduate level coursework and experience in English Studies where I taught and studied English Composition. Additionally, I studied English theory and history, as well as writing center and small group education. I worked as a Graduate Level Writing Consultant and was the Assistant Director of a writing center.I am passionate about writing and the many ways words are used. It doesn't matter what you're studying or what you're planning to do beyond studying, everyone needs to know how to communicate and write.I am here to help you create, edit, brainstorm ideas, structure, and navigate everything you need to know in order to write your way through life.I truly believe in the power of words and I've spent my life learning how to use them--how the poets and playwrights of the past masterfully painted words across the page--how to use them to persuade, inform, and enlighten.Written word allows you and requires that you think about something from start to finish before you deliver it to your audience. Use it eloquently and people will hear you, use it beautifully and they'll listen.

I have a Bachelor degree in Law from Dokkyo University in Saitama, Japan. During my college years, I worked for Meiko Gijuku in Tokyo to teach elementary and high school students as a tutor in various subjects, such as math, English, and Japanese. After the graduation, I continue to study English and attended the ESL courses at the EF International Language School in Olympia, WA for one academic year. I volunteered to teach Japanese to local people for cultural exchange. Since then I acquired a enough GRE score to go to a graduate school in the USA. I received a Master of Science in Social Responsibility from St.Cloud State University in St. Cloud Minnesota in 2003. I also completed one year of graduate works in the East Asian Studies department. I studied through a mail corresponding course in teaching Japanese. I have lived in the USA for over 14 years and can speak English and Japanese fluently. I tutor Japanese Language. Helping English speakers to understand Japanese language and culture has been very fun and rewarding experiences because it helps to me understand further about the cultural differences and similarities through understanding these different language systems. For hobbies, I like painting, guitar, and taking my two big Akita dogs to the beautiful parks in Colorado.

"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. "- Malcolm XI got into tutoring because it is a way for me to make some extra money from the comfort of my own home. I have a toddler, so I am able to spend time with her, while still fulfilling my calling of teaching others. I currently work in an elementary school, going on my sixth year of teaching. I enjoy working with students and ensuring that they fully grasp a concept before moving on. If students are struggling to understand, I really try to help them understand in another way. Not everyone learns the same, so why should teaching all be the same?One of my favorite quotes is "Giving the gift of knowledge is giving the one gift that will never need to be returned." It truly shows that teachers don't need anything in return for their time. Helping to teach someone isn't something that needs a thank you, although it is always appreciated also!

I believe that math is fun but only when the person doing it feels confident, understands the concepts, is accepted for his/her level of competence, and is able to accept a challenge that he/she feels there is a reasonable chance of success.As a tutor, I try to provide a variety of activities to keep the student involved, a pleasant and comfortable learning environment , and challenges that stretch the student's thinking.Each lesson will contain a recap of previously studied concepts, presentation of new concepts, application of the new concepts and then a summary of the day's lesson and a projection of what might be learned in the coming lesson..

I am a driven person who doesn't easily back down from a difficult problem. Graduated from Saint Cloud State University with a Bachelors of Science in physics, I tackle problems that require time and patience to solve them and a will to keep at it. I have tutored students in both mathematics and physics since the two subjects go hand in hand. My tutoring style involves assessing what the student knows about the subject and using that information to build a plan to expand their knowledge using an active learning approach. When I'm not doing physics, I like to go biking, play electric bass, go disc golfing, play video games, and reading philosophy texts.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics with a focus on Astrophysics, I also have a degree in Chemistry. While in college I tutored Physics and Calculus and after I graduated I traveled to Russia to get my certificate to Teach English as a Second language and also to teach adults, teenagers and small children where I was also able to teach a Spanish class. I spent the summer in a summer camp in Turkey where I help teenagers and kids with their everyday life and activities in English. While I love Physics and Math, I am tutoring several Math topics, such as, Algebra, Calculus, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus and also Spanish and English. I must say my favorite topic to tutor is Calculus because it helps you understand and analyze different problems in a very different way.I like helping students because I don't think they should feel like they can't accomplish something because they don't understand a topic very well, they should be able to accomplish everything they want and since education is very necessary nowadays to have the life they want to have.It is truly amazing to help people follow their dreams.In my free time, I love learning and practicing new languages and reading about Space and the different cultures around the world.

I am a undergraduate student attending Saint Cloud State University. I am in my sophomore year and am currently going to school for electrical engineering but am planning on also double majoring in mathematics. I currently tutor Mathematics up to Calculus 2 through my campus in addition to Varsity Tutors.One of my most favorite things in the world is helping others and teaching the life skill of problem solving that is often overlooked in mathematics. I do this by taking a more relaxed approach by only assisting or guiding the student into identifying and correcting their misconceptions. By doing this, it has the extra gem of practicing and imitating problem solving techniques that can be reproduced in the real world.

I began Tutoring in college at Saint Cloud State University while I was a sophomore majoring in biomedical sciences. I began tutoring general chemistry and quickly found it enjoying as kids who cared to learn came to seek help.I quickly went from large study groups to one on one tutoring during my junior and senior years.But I wasn't always someone who like to study notes and read books. It wasn't until my junior year when I met a mentor who changed how I would look at the rest of my career. He was an organic chemistry professor who began the class explaining how he got to where he was today. You see most professors are naturally brilliant at the college level. This professor of mine explained how he was just an average joe. He explained that he couldn't learn the same way his peers had while he was an undergrad and so he developed his own style of learning. Today he incorporates a different kind of visual learning that he feels includes all learning types and not just the gifted. I too like to include a white board and visuals to comprehend tough subjects like chemistry and biology.
