...of a chore or a burden and more of an opportunity for enrichment. Without proper and fun education in our lives, we would not only be constantly reliant on others to take care of us, but life would also be extremely boring. In my spare time, I enjoy my family. I have an equally (if not more so!) nerdy husband of 14 years, and together we have two beautiful kids (ages 7 and 10) and...

I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Political Science and minoring in French. I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring. I am not far removed from these courses and tests and am therefore able to help students uniquely as I remember being in there situations.

Additionally, I like to help my students take responsibility for their own learning during our sessions. Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending...

...grateful that my career has allowed me the opportunity to be that positive influence on children's lives. While I do love my job- teaching beginning readers and writers, and instilling a love of learning that will last a lifetime- I also enjoy spending time with my own children. We read together, play board games, and bake together. I also enjoy running with neighborhood friends- we usually plan on running several road races together every year.

...stood out to me all had common characteristics: they presented their subjects in a way that caught my interest. clarified difficult topics and led me through complex problems, and put knowledge into context that was relevant to me and my life. I view myself as a facilitator of learning, rather than someone who simply delivers information to students. When working with students, I am always conscious of their different learning styles and rates. Furthermore, feedback...

...had several enriching experiences that have led me to where I am. For one summer, I taught Geometry to middle school students through Breakthrough Collaborative in Denver, CO.

I have assisted and co-taught with a middle school mathematics teacher. Also, I have tutored several students in mathematics. I think...

...old. I know how frustrating it can be to not understand something while it is being taught in the classroom. As a result, I can connect with most of students pretty well. I let them know right off the bat that they are not alone and they can learn the material. After that we get right to work. If there is anything else you would like to know about me just let me know.... On the...

...my fourth year of PhD study at Saint Louis University. I have been working in experimental psychology for the past 7 years and should finish with my PhD in experimental social psychology in 2015. Along the way I have picked up ample experience in Academic Writing, Research Methodology, and Statistics. As I am now an adjunct professor teaching Psychology classes, I feel I should offer my services to tutor students whenever possible. Though Psychology and...

I studied abroad in Granada, Spain two separate times for two semesters. I'm also a member of an NGO called Global Learning Exchange that works directly with impoverished and underprivileged schools in Guatemala. I traveled there in 2013 as the Training Specialist where I trained five Guatemalan teachers in their native language...

...to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes and evaluations to track student progress. During college, I helped my peers learn French both individually and in small groups; and most recently, I worked as an English language teacher in France, helping small groups of middle- and high-schoolers put their language learning into practice by organizing projects, conversations, and debates. In my free time, I like to read, write, draw, and...

...a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand most student's goals are to perform better in the classroom, and that is what we will work towards, but i also intend for my students to leave each session with the ability to understand a little...

...were a way to escape and live in another world or time. That love of reading, has carried on into my adult life. I became a teacher after I was encouraged by my daughter's second grade teacher. The decision to choose Special Education was fostered from watching my sister and other children struggle with reading, writing, math, and other studies. I've been fortunate enough to watch my students learn, grow, become confident, self-advocate, and achieve...

I am fascinated by how language, literature and culture are interwoven and how they affect those around them. I get really excited about learning/re-discovering things and subsequently about teaching those things to my students. I believe that education is the best way to expand not only your mind, but to improve your situation...

...in the fall. I most enjoy tutoring math because I understand the struggles and frustration that the subject can cause. My favorite part about tutoring is seeing all of a student's hard work and perseverance pay off when that concept finally clicks in their mind. Learning is a passion of mine, and I love being able to share it with students of all ages. When I am not busy with school and extra curricular activities,...

...Emporia State in integrated studies and a masters in elementary education from Rockhurst University. Throughout my educational career, I have been a summer school teacher assistant, elementary and secondary tutor (the elementary tutoring was mainly math), a resource aide, substitute teacher and a camp counselor.

The exchange of information and education is a passion for me! Creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere will allow learning to be enjoyable and memorable for all parties involved!... Keep it entertaining! I love using innovative and contemplative approaches to teaching; learning should be permanent and fun!...
