...in Software Engineering from the University of St Thomas. I have worked in Finance, mostly in Investment both retail and institutional, during which I have consistently taught French, English and German on the side. My passion has always been languages. I speak six different languages. Now, I work as an IT Consultant for 3M.... In my teaching philosophy, there are two main elements: the teacher and the motivation. The teacher: a teacher needs to help his or her students realize their full potential. My role as a teacher is, in addition to conveying knowledge on the subject that I teach, to make my students grow and to make them aware of the world around them, and the elements that compose it, either at the level of the history of humanity, the religions around them, or even the scientific basis of the world in which we live. In addition to having better academic results, they will have the chance to become better humans, which motivation teaching must be, above all, a passion. A teacher who teaches to earn his bread and does not feel more concerned than that with his work will by definition be a bad teacher. One of the characteristics that makes me a good teacher is the fact that I do not want to work only for what it brings me as material goods, but also because I have a real passion which is enough to motivate me to teach. "You teach what you are, so be something worth teaching."

I am a Minneapolis-based tutor with experience in English, Writing, Math (Pre-Algebra-Calculus), and Physics tutoring. I love working with students to achieve their goals! ... I craft my teaching approach on an individual basis, depending on the student's age, interests, and personal learning style. I prefer to take a hands-on approach to subjects, as I believe that the more engaged students are, the more they are able to retain information and stay focused.
