I am a graduate of Boise State University, where I received my bachelor of Science in Psychology, also Pennsylvania State University, and Capella University where I graduated with a master's degree in human Behavior. While obtaining my degrees as a single mother of two children, my son was diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities. That is where I gained intimate knowledge of IEPs and 504 learning plans. It sparked my fascination with the psychology of people from all different backgrounds. I have worked with individuals with a broad range of different mental health diagnoses and learning styles. I have been homeschooling my seven-year-old granddaughter for the past year and a half (she also has ADHD). I utilize a variety of alternative tutoring methods from the typical school curriculum. I genuinely feel each child is a unique individual and therefore their tutoring should be tailored to their own learning style, strength, weaknesses, and personality whether it be audio, kinesthetic or visual. Previously, I was employed as a CBRS (Community Based Rehabilitation Specialist) worker. It enabled me to work with students of all ages from grade school through high school. The one-on-one work I did with each of those students reinforced that individuality plays an important role in their confidence, comprehension, and success. I'm proud to offer tutoring in Reading, Math, and Language, but I have to admit that Math is the subject I enjoy the most. I love that we are constantly building on knowledge previously obtained (I see it as growth in my mind). I also believe that it is vitally important to keep in mind that when a student is struggling, sometimes finding a lighter (less stressful) way to help them retain information lends a more successful result and a better attitude towards the study sessions. When I'm not in my teaching/tutoring element, I enjoy painting crafts from ceramics to mandalas on coasters, coloring, listening to music and playing board or card games with family.

I have been teaching 20 years. I am able to teach and help students understand things they never have understood before in Spanish, beginning Algebra 1, and English as a second language. It is my passion to help students succeed and feel confident in their abilities. I've taught high school and college Spanish for 20 years, so I really understand what students need to know to be successful in this class.

Hi, I'm Elle. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and I work with students who are serious about passing their exams, bringing up their scores, and students who are willing to work to get it. I cannot do it without your help too! Most of my students come to me after they've been studying for weeks or months and still aren't seeing results. I help them fix what's not working and focus on what actually moves their score. I specialize in high yield areas like fluids and electrolytes, cardiac, respiratory, and pharmacology, and I tailor every session to your weak points so your time is used efficiently. For younger students, I take the time to understand your learning style and use that to cater to your individual needs.

Dana A. Boyd, PhD Teaching Philosophy As a teacher, my goals are to encourage life-long learning, mastery of content, and develop critical thinking. Understanding each student and how they learn and provide the guidance they need is imperative to diversity and inclusion. Resources used to meet the above goals are to explore all of the resources provided by the Varsity Tours, case studies, peer feedback, supplemental materials, videos, readings, and daily interaction via email, texts, and discussion posts. Kolb's experiential learning cycle helps me to focus on and pay attention to a variety of different approaches to learning based on the students. Assessing student understanding is crucial to this process. Reflection on assignments, by students keeping a journal, helps students with understanding real world issues and how they might solve them. Metacognition is key in this process. I also like to use a variety of assessments, my own videos, papers, tests, homework, and discussion forums. I am in a continuous process of exceeding my own and the University's expectations. Every student has something new to teach me. I flourish in the feedback from students, peers, and the University as a whole. Reflecting on the above feedback helps me weave in new ideas and concepts that I may not have thought of previously. I love to learn, so continuously learning new information through trainings and by providing these trainings to my peers helps me to be the best teacher I can be for my students.

I enjoy helping professionals further their careers. I have a BS (Penn State University) & MBA (Capella University). I currently licensed with the state of NJ for Life/Health Insurance. I am registered with FINRA (Series 7 & 66). I also hold a Certified Financial Planner designation.I help candidates studying for their Life/Health, SIE, Series 7, Series 6, Series 66 (63/65), and CFP designations.I am eager to pass on various tips and tricks I have learned for the various exams. I have various study tips and tricks that I have found helpful and previous students that I have tutored have as well.

I believe education shouldn't be focused on memorizing and citing back statistics, but rather it be built upon meaningful experiences that supports the learner's journey. I am a graduate of UW Madison School of Nursing. I received my Masters in Nursing Education from Capella University. I am passionate in supporting students that need help with passing the NCLEX/NextGen. I am available for medical terminology, pharmacology, and similar nursing courses including nursing assistant programs.

I help learners build practical cybersecurity skills with a future-focused mindset. My background spans teaching, research, and real-world security work, with a strong focus on resilience, critical systems, and emerging technologies. I care about helping people not just enter the field, but help build the future by thinking clearly, acting ethically, and creating safer systems that last.

I received my Doctorate in Social Work from Capella University, my MSW from Augsburg College, and my Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology with a minor is Sociology from St. Cloud State University. Since graduation, I have traveled to several countries as I have a strong interest in learning about and from other cultures. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Social Work, and social justice in particular; executive functioning; and adult health and wellness. In my previous experience as a mental health professional, helping students learn new ways to organize and plan and see themselves as capable and competent was one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I also taught social work and interpersonal relations at a university and loved watching the students grasp new concepts and really begin to see themselves as social workers or helping professionals. I am a firm believer in the importance of education and the opportunities that can be had as a result. In my work as a university instructor, I wanted my students to be able to think critically and from multiple perspectives and not just memorize terms. I loved helping my therapy clients and my students identify various solutions to problems they or their future clients might encounter, which empowered them and increased their confidence. In my spare time, I enjoy playing with my dog, running, gardening, and getting outdoors to enjoy nature and seasonal activities such as kayaking, hiking, and cross-country skiing.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Education from Capella University, I have over 5 years of experience in tutoring and classroom instruction.

I believe in creating a supportive environment that fosters curiosity and confidence in learners.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy exploring the world through travel. As well as honing my own writing skills through blogging, which further enriches my tutoring practice.

My many experiences as a classroom, hybrid, and online graduate student have given me a unique perspective on what makes an excellent online instructor and what creates a disastrous experience for students. I have 13 years of experience as a classroom instructor and several years as an online tutor. I know the foundation of success for online nursing students is contingent on faculty being able to create a cordial and professional relationship with each student. I have extensive experience with APA formatting and writing style and available for editing APA papers including grammar and flow of the content. My teaching experiences include BSN, ADN, and LPN/LVN programs. These programs are regionally accredited and required instructors to use and create NCLEX structured questions. It is imperative for student success during and after completing school to critically evaluate and analyze nursing practice through difficult and alternative format questions. Unfortunately, NCLEX structured questions can be intimidating for students. As a former Assistant Dean for Academic Success and as an online tutor, I have extensive experience helping students understand and apply their knowledge to decrease test anxiety, decrease frustrations with studying, and increase their confidence. Nothing feels better than to hear from students who discovered their personal learning style and hearing about their successes.

I came to the United States from Puerto Rico right after high school. Back then, my English was limited, but I had the good fortune of meeting professors and tutors who spent some extra time with me and helped me succeed along the way. I graduated from the University of Dayton in Ohio with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Education. Because I saw the impact that people could have in students' lives, I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to teaching. I have been teaching for over 20 years, from junior high all the way to college, which is my current job. I like tutoring Spanish and ESL (we call it EAP at the college level English for Academic Purposes) since those are the subjects I teach. I am also passionate about Math, and although I do not have a degree in that subject, I have taken many courses at the college level for my own personal enrichment. I believe that learning from a teacher and from a tutor is the perfect combination for many students who need the extra time to process knowledge at their own speed and the right setting to feel secure about asking questions without being afraid.

As a Psychologist and Educator for many I have a love of the field of Psychology and all of its components. I use relatable and real life examples to explain the material in order to best help students learn and be successful.

I view teaching as an opportunity to make learning joyful and meaningful. I design lessons that spark laughter, creativity, and connection, because students learn best when they feel comfortable and inspired. By meeting learners where they are and encouraging them to trust their abilities, I help them develop confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.

I earned my undergrad degree at YSU in education. In addition, I earned my Masters in Education at Capella University. My passion is in helping students aspire to and beyond their goals. There is no better gratification than the excitement when child "gets it!". My favorite subject to teach is English Language Arts.

I am passionate about student's reaching their goals and dreams through increased knowledge, experience, and skills. I have worked for 10 years in the elementary classroom teaching grades 1, 4, 5, and 6. I also have over five years experience with online learning and helping my students feel the connection with the teacher and material that is important for strong and consistent improvement. I love math but find that I am very successful teaching foundational reading and English to my online student. Science and STEM opportunities are also important to me as I am able to bring the understanding for these critical thinking skills needed to advance. My tutoring style is built on engaging and interactive lessons. I use realia, demonstrations, games, songs, and visual techniques to reach the student at every level. It is important to me to listen to the student to find just the right approach that will engage and enlighten the learner.

I've been teaching and coaching for over twenty years, and honestly, I still get excited about helping people learnwhether that's a kid struggling with reading, a teenager trying to get organized, or an adult working on their communication or leadership skills or tackling the various tasks of owning a business. There's something amazing about that moment when things just click. I'm also a published author, which means I love finding creative ways to make learning actually enjoyable (yes, even studying can be fun!).

I first became interested in teaching when I was in elementary school and my mom would took me to work with her. I would help her grade her students work and it felt great! I graduated from college with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I thought that I would try a different route from my mom and at the time also my sister but it was meant for me to teach. I became a substitute teacher and began to build relationships with many students from different schools. My first time having my own classroom I realize that I was in the right profession. I am very passionate about teaching my students and making sure that they enjoy their learning experience as well. It has been 6 years and I still appreciate what I do.

I also love helping nursing students with any classes they need support in. In addition I enjoy working with students who have test anxiety, ADHD, or other needs.
