Award-Winning Reading Tutors in Maple Grove, MN

...my career. I find it my greatest goal to make sure that all students, from those seeking the highest standards to those struggling with basic skills, can understand themselves, can define their abilities, and can work forward to becoming all that they are meant to be. My years of teaching experience have helped prepare me with two important abilities: seeing language arts as a means to develop students' awareness and ability to communicate more effectively,...

...students in high school. I enjoy teaching and watching students understand a topic that was once challenging to them and being able to go on to teach their peers. Nothing is as rewarding as learning something new and I love being a part of that process. I currently attend the University of Minnesota as a Political Science major and am due to graduate early in 2016. After graduation, I hope to work for a non-profit...

...Science in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that...

...find myself in the same situation. It is with humbleness and respect that both the student and teacher can move forward and learn. If giving respect and being respected is the most important aspect of the teacher-student relationship, the second most important is being prepared. I endeavor to use my time with clients effectively. Of course, the flexibility to alter lesson plans to the student's particular learning style is pivotal, but that is no excuse...

...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."...

...wrote a 50+ page senior thesis on Western media's depiction of migration, which gave me invaluable research and writing skills. I've also completed countless college and scholarship essays, research papers and projects for social science classes, and business reports for my business classes. One of my favorite parts of writing for any of my classes has been reading and revising my peers' work to help them put forth their best possible essay. I look forward...

...of Arts, a dual degree in Writing Intensive English and Journalism, with a Minor in History, from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. Since completing my education I’ve worked in a wide variety of academic settings from an inner city middle school in Cambridge, MA to an elite private preschool-12th grade school in Baton Rouge, LA, to a charter school focused on Hmong culture and heritage in St. Paul. My role in the Charter School in...

...as well as completed the Pre-Medical track. I took the MCAT this past summer and on my lanta am I glad that I passed and don't have to take it again. I recently moved from Bloomington Minnesota to Rawhay New Jersey. I am passionate about theatre and love living in an area so close to the amazing hub that is New York City. I hope one day to have a theatre troupe that works alongside...

...I feel joy when I share things I learn with others. I am an effective tutor because I listen to students' needs and concerns, and I understand that learning is a process and that people have different learning styles, strengths, and interests. Tutoring is a blend of what you know, what you can articulate to the student, and what their needs are. I seek to fulfill all those aspects in my students.

...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...
