Award-Winning History Tutors in Milwaukee, WI

...Comp strategies at Karen Dillard's College Prep. I also privately tutored my peers in Spanish while I was an undergraduate at the University of Dallas. One-on-one tutoring provides students with an opportunity to receive the extra instruction and attention that they don't always receive in a classroom setting. There is nothing more frustrating than struggling to understand new concepts and new materials that everyone in your class already understands. As a former Spanish major in...

...and consider education a remarkable gift and privilege which empowers its recipients to transform the world through their knowledge and ability to improve the lives of others. I myself am incredibly blessed to have been given the educational opportunities I've had, and am inspired to become the transformative educator for others that so many have been for me in my life. I would be more than happy to provide my services and look forward to...

...This passion for understanding made school, as well as testing, enjoyable for me. It is also contagious: when I explain why history, literature, or even grammar are so interesting, others tend to agree. It is a joy to get to share my love of learning with others. In addition, it is wonderful to see their self-confidence and abilities grow hand-in-hand. These are just some of the reasons why I enjoy teaching and tutoring. I recently...

...contract ended, I moved to China and became an English teacher. During my time abroad, I managed my own classroom of elementary students, while occasionally working 1-on-1 with children and adults. This experience of living in a foreign country empowered my ability to communicate and keep a positive environment for learning. Switching the learning styles between visual, audio, and kinesthetic was essential in ensuring success for the Chinese students and myself. The passion that I...

...Spanish, and I currently tutor all of these subjects in addition to helping with ACT test prep. I am most passionate about teaching reading to elementary school children, as it is such an essential skill in life, and I absolutely love to see young students so excited about making improvements (especially moving from picture books to chapter books!) in their reading abilities. Having a strong education is so necessary to understanding and improving the world...

...rural hometown, to urban high school students in an overseas territory of France in the Indian Ocean, to homeless and low-income adults in San Francisco, and I have enjoyed learning from them as much as they have learned from me. I am currently working as a youth mentor at an alternative charter high school in Lakewood, and I love every moment of it, as difficult as those moments may be. My greatest strength and joy...

...University with a B.A. in Political Science with a Concentration in International Affairs and a minor in Urban Education. I have been working with Middle School and High School level children since 2010 through the Atlanta Urban Debate League as a debate coach. Although I mainly focused on debate, we spent a lot of time working on reading, writing, critical thinking, and public speaking. I am bilingual. Fluent in both English and Spanish, my reading...

...I love it! The one thing I miss is direct contact with K-12 students. Tutoring is the perfect solution! I have tutored students in all grades, but most recently have worked on Reading and Organization/Study Skills with students 4th grade and up. For children and teenagers, I believe motivation is essential for learning, so we will select texts together (when possible) and develop an interactive tutoring plan to increase engagement and learning.... The new lingo here is "Gradual Release of Responsibility." This involves modeling a skill/strategy (the number of times this is necessary will vary depending on the student, the skill, the content, and other variables), doing it together and then working toward student independence. This is a process!

...was below a 3.0. A change in attitude and study habits allowed me to improve my academic career and life to the point of graduating from University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.A. in Psychology. During my time at UW, I tutored Native American students who struggled with certain classes in high school. Additionally, I also gave guitar lessons to people of a variety of ages and backgrounds. My goal with both tutoring sessions and guitar...

Anyone can learn anything, it's just a matter of how.... I believe that anyone can learn anything, it is just a matter of how. The most important factor about teaching is making sure that the student truly understands the material, no matter what it takes. Different methods work for different people.... In a typical first session with a student, I would like to get a feeling for his/her learning style. I like to see what the student normally does alone, such as the methods and the thinking process that takes place.
