You can also find me at ethnic restaurants and bistros all over the Milwaukee area or in a local...

...a physician. I am here today because of all the help I have gotten from my tutors. I believe in learning the basic fundamentals of subjects and this will get students a long way into their education. I also believe in instilling a arduous work ethic that will serve students in whatever they strive for. I will work hard as a tutor to provide the basic skills and knowledge to excel in their schoolwork.... I believe starting with a strong foundation is the key to succeeding in any class. With a strong basic knowledge, this will get students a long way into the subject. Understanding the concepts is the key to success rather than rote memorization.

...I have a Master's degree from the University of Southern California (USC), where I graduated as a Dean's Scholar with a 3.98 GPA.

I recently returned from 8 months of teaching English and Math to elementary-school students in Ecuador, and currently work in K-3 classrooms as a literacy specialist at a public elementary school in Santa Rosa....

...have seen how explaining it in terms of "pretend you want to hit the baseball farther than anyone else and you need to figure out what angle will get you there" can make a light bulb go on. All of my previous students have had different learning styles, personalities, and interests; one of my favorite things about tutoring is figuring out what makes them tick so I can come up with appropriate examples. When I...

...saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies that will improve on their own methods. I enjoy the challenge of finding novel ways to help...

...I lived with a family in German-speaking Switzerland for a school year. During graduate school, I taught German 101, 102, and 103. My primary goal for students is to use motivation for learning, meaning that I try to find materials that are motivating as motivation is the the essential ingredient for true learning. As far as language learning goes, my basic approach is to balance input and output: listening/reading and speaking/writing. I look forward to...

...all ages, I prefer to tutor K-8 or high school students preparing for the SAT. Tutoring English is my personal favorite, but I greatly enjoy the linear thinking and quantitative clarity that comes with teaching Mathematics as well. For the last few years I have also been tutoring English grammar and pronunciation to adults in Japan via Skype. In tutoring there is always that fine line between teaching and telling, and I always strive to...

...student at California State University Long Beach. My areas of excellence include linguistics (all sub-disciplines), English, writing/grammar/stylistics, and standardized test preparation. I've maintained a 3.7 GPA in my major pretty much since my sophomore year, and put the same dedication into most other areas of my life. I'm fun loving, bright, and energetic, and make it a point to bring that same spunk to my work (because no one likes to 'study' when it means...

...Hour ESL/TEFL/TESOL Certificate with Oxford Seminars. With my multicultural background and academic experience, I am passionate about tutoring and teaching with patience and an open perspective. Since moving to New Brunswick, NJ, I have been volunteering at Youth Empowerment Services and tutoring all subjects for students in 2nd through 8th grade. From theatre exercises and games to very detailed and analytical technical work, I have a broad skill set I use to work with students...

...have 2 years of experience serving as a literacy tutor and community volunteer for the Regional Service Corps AmeriCorps. Through my studies at Heritage University I have received training in GLAD strategies, differentiated instruction, "Love and Logic" classroom management, formative classroom assessment, and inquiry-based science instruction.
