I'm a graduate of Carleton College where I got my Bachelors of Arts in Biology with a focus in biochemistry. Since graduating, I have been preparing to go into the medical field by working as an emergency medical scribe, taking the MCAT, and tutoring on the side.I first became interested in tutoring after returning from living abroad in Spain during my senior year of high school. Once I was at Carleton I started working as a TA within the Spanish department, leading biweekly classes and offering office hours in the library several nights per week. As I progressed through my major, I also started TA'ing for organic chemistry as well as biology classes.Though I tutor a number of subjects, I most enjoy teaching Biology and Spanish. I have extensive experience teaching both of these subjects at the intro, AP/IB, and college levels, so regardless of what you're studying I'm sure that I can help!In my experience as a tutor, students tend to learn best when they feel heard and when they are comfortable in the learning environment. That's why I place an emphasis on building a rapport with any of my students that is based on commonalities, trust, and strong communication. I feel that it is just as important to be able to talk freely about hobbies, interests, or anything else going on in their lives as it is the tutoring subjects.

Hi there! I have over 4 years of experience teaching and tutoring students from ages 5 to 65. My areas of expertise include elementary school reading and math, K-12 science, ACT, SAT, and IB test prep, and MCAT prep, especially reading and biology sections.After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2009 with a B.A. in Theatre and minor in Public Health, I taught English to K-6 students in Seoul, South Korea for two years. I served for a summer as an AmeriCorps Summer Reads VISTA, tutoring K-3 students in elementary literacy. I've also taught ESL to adult immigrants in Minneapolis for three summers, and am ESL certified through the Minnesota Literacy Council.I'm currently applying to medical school, and enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I am currently working as a 5th grade teacher at a charter school on the northside of Minneapolis. I spend my days teaching the core subjects (reading, math, social studies and science) to primarily ELL, or English language learning, students. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Morris, in 2010, with a major in elementary education, and a minor in sociology. I have been teaching for the past five years in a few different cities around the US. I moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin after graduating and began my career as a teacher in the urban setting. After spending two years there, I moved to Tucson, Arizona, where I taught at an accelerated charter school with a focus on math and science. These diverse teaching experiences, as well as my current position, have taught me so much about how to best lead students to learn. I have many teaching strategies I love sharing with each student I meet, and value adding to my tool box with each session.My hope is to help students fill in any gaps there may be in their foundational skills, model strategies and tips for academic success, build confidence, and challenge students who need to be stretched. I am extremely patient, but I know how valuable our time together is. I will set clear expectations with each student I work with, so we both know what our job will be for each session. I will be sensitive to student's needs, but will do everything I can to keep us focused on the task at hand so this tutoring experience is valuable.

I am an Economics and Political Science major at the University of Minnesota. In addition to being a tutor at Grade Potential, I work as a debate coach at Como Park High School in St. Paul. I have previously worked as volunteer tutor at East Side Neighborhood Services and as a Resident Assistant at the University of Michigan Summer Debate Institute. This summer I will also be working with high school students at the Minnesota Debate and Advocacy Workshop.

I am a seasoned educator with over ten years of experience teaching, tutoring, and coaching. Over the past four years, I have had the opportunity to work at a private school that served twice-exceptional students. These students had some type of learning difference (ADHD, Dyslexia, High-Functioning Autistic) while also possessing gifted attributes. Above all, being compassionate and patient with these students fostered a positive environment that helped them achieve success for the year.My experience is not limited to the classroom. For a year I tutored one-on-one with business executives in Paris. While the focus was conversational English, the practice of being compassionate and patient helped the executives build up not only their English skills but also their self-confidence.My teaching has focused primarily on language arts, but I have also taught algebra, personal finance, and history.

Originally from central Minnesota, I earned my BA from Hamline University in 2013 with a degree in English, a concentration in creative writing, minors in women's studies and psychology, and a certificate in teaching English as a foreign 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 Reading Corps as an elementary school literacy tutor. Now I work as a preschool teacher in a Spanish-English dual immersion preschool; I co-teach a class of 17 three and four year olds.Beyond academics, I love to bike around the Twin Cities, find new nooks to explore, read, and practice yoga. I've traveled to Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Panama, and hope to see more of Central and South America soon. I write and perform poetry, and coach a team of college slam poets. I'm interested in building positive, mutual mentoring relationships with those I tutor.

I have a Ph.D in philosophy and my teaching experience has been incredible. With my Udemy course, I have been teaching students around the globe and from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy with a 4.0 grade point average from the Selinus University of the Sciences and Literature, and studied logic under Dr. Paul Tomassi. My primary interests are general philosophy, philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language. I wrote my doctor's thesis in the philosophy of science quite recently. I encourage students, and hope they have a fun and energetic experience!

I have always a passion for curiosity. The buzzword "lifelong learner" has been around the education world for quite some time. But I want to have a lifelong curiosity. I always want to know things work and how to better understand things. I bring that same passion for curiosity to everything that I do, especially teaching and tutoring. Nothing brings me greater joy than being able to bring someone closer to their capability. My biggest teaching motto has been: "I don't teach based on what I know my students can already. I teach based on where I know they are capable of going and what they are capable of doing." I believe that people should always strive to know more. Curiosity makes the world a better and, frankly, a more fun place. If I can instill that lifelong curiosity into even one of my students, I would have reached success.I also firmly believe that conversation is a huge part of a successful teaching/learning process. No one knows how the students learn better than the students themselves. I constantly check in with how students are doing, often before I tell them how I think they are doing. This constantly dialogue allows us to form a better connection and does nothing but allow me to teach and the student learn better. I want to know their goals, interests, hobbies, learning styles, and anything and everything in between. This process is not a dictatorship but a partnership.I look forward to getting know my students and helping them on their educational journey!!!!

I am a Ph.D. in World History with a Bachelor's in French language and culture. I am passionate about teaching all levels of French for speaking, reading, writing, and listening improvement. In addition, students will be introduced to French culture, through film and media viewing.

I am a current Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota studying social psychology. I received a B.A. in Psychology and Mathematics/Statistics from Luther College in 2016, as well as completing a minor in environmental studies. I was a math tutor for three years as an undergraduate and worked primarily with first and second-year undergraduates in Pre-calculus and Calculus I.
