Award-Winning Tutors from Capella University

One of my core values can be summed up in two words: "Students First." I tell all students, online and offline, that if I am not in class or asleep, it is an office hour. I believe that it is my duty to be as accessible as possible. I believe that all of my students find comfort in the fact that there is someone they can turn to for clarification on a myriad of topics. I also bring a firm understanding that many of our students have a great deal of responsibilities. Along with working full time and maintaining their studies many students are "sandwiched" between taking care of their children as well as caring for their parents. With this understanding comes the requirement to be flexible, patient and empathetic. A cornerstone of my pedagogical philosophy is that I strive to help students understand difficult concepts through meaningful examples taken from their daily lives. If a student is going to take an interest in the subject matter, they are more likely to retain this information. I like to think of it as a sort of "School House Rock" approach to learning. For example, I was able to convey the microeconomic concept of the production possibilities frontier by having the students visualize a restaurant that produced two goods: salads and sandwiches. The production possibilities frontier is a simple model designed to depict the production capabilities of an economy given common resources, while assuming there are two broad classes of products, consumer goods and capital goods. Traditional economic textbooks love to use a "guns and butter" metaphor, but I have found that the salads and sandwiches example is much more effective. Students are able to quickly understand that they can use common ingredients like meat, cheese, vegetables, bread (rolls for the sandwich or croutons for the salad), and dressing to make sandwiches or salads and, in turn, maximize earnings. Unless the student is destined to become a contestant on "Jeopardy," I do not see the value in students having a plethora of academic knowledge at the ready. It is far more important that students are information literate and that they understand what information is needed, where to find it, how to evaluate it, and how to use it in everyday life.

As a dedicated educator with a Doctorate in Reading and Literacy from Capella University, I am passionate about fostering a love for language and writing in my students.

My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and enhance their skills. I am motivated by the transformative power of education and the joy of witnessing my students achieve their goals. In my free time, I enjoy exploring poetry and literature, which continually inspires my teaching approach.

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 believe that when someone has had the opportunity to pursue their life's calling, they have a responsibility use the knowledge and skills gained to help advance others.

My Mission: To deliver clear, concise, and simple solutions that translate into meaningful and measurable improvement for my clients.Hi..I'm Craig Lanzoni, a former corporate finance guy who was introduced to teaching when a colleague asked me to present a lecture on International Finance to his business class at The Westchester Business Institute (now The College of Westchester).That was in 1988. Since that time I've dedicated my career to teaching.At the college level, I've spent over 25 years teaching undergraduate college courses including College Math, Algebra, Statistics, Economics, Business Management, Business Writing, and Operations Management.In addition, I've spent the past 20 years tutoring SAT and ACT, and 12 years tutoring GRE and GMAT.

My single largest event was a 4 hour SAT math seminar that was attended by 165 High School Students in Greenwich, CT.Most recently I've partnered with The Walter Luckett Jr. Foundation to bring SAT and ACT prep to students in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury.My spare time is spent playing golf, skiing and hiking, and teaching archery to kids in after school programs.As your tutor, my job is to provide you with simple approaches that lead to dependable results. In essence, to "teach you how to fish". Your job is to learn "how to fish". If you're looking for someone to feed you, with no effort on your part, I'm not the tutor you want. But if you're looking for a tutor who can provide you with those simple, useable approaches, then give me a call.In any case, I wish you the best.

With 20 years of experience in Human Resources, I have gained knowledge in every area of the Human Resources field and have become a subject expert. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management as well as a Professional Human Resources Certification (PHR). Currently, I am pursuing my Masters's degree in Human Resources Management at Florida International University (FIU). I have a passion for teaching and have been a volunteer teacher for many years. I also have many years of experience training and teaching HR topics. I take pride in preparing for my classes and personalizing them for each individual's learning style. My goal is to bring the lesson to life for my students in a way that's practical and gives a real-world understanding of the subject matter. I look for different learning and memorization techniques that work for each individual to help them grasp the information.

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 hold an associate degree in Funeral Services from Milwaukee Area Technical College. I have been a licensed funeral director for the last 19 years in Wisconsin. In 2019, I decided that it was time to share my passion for education with others. I attended Capella University, obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, and immediately returned to complete my Master of Science in Educational Psychology this spring. During my return to college, the Covid-19 pandemic took all of our lives and shook them upside down. Being in school as a psychology student has helped me deal with the unique challenges brought on by the pandemic that we still experience today with the addition of hybrid and virtual learning environments. While I can tutor a wide breadth of subjects, my education passion is in the field of psychology. Psychology is more about studying the roots of behavior and how our interactions in our environment change how we behave. Being able to link the theories and concepts of psychology to real-world behavior is an important step in understanding and grasping the concepts and theories better. I encourage people to challenge themselves to better understand concepts and theories by seeing how they are applicable in their lives or environments. Seeing and interacting with a concept outside of a textbook or material changes the way we learn and ignites a passion for learning that is important for educational advancement. I enjoy reading, watching movies, kayaking, and spending time with my children in my free time.

I have a deep passion and appreciation for history. Understanding who we once were helps to see the path that we are currently going down. With history comes a love and deep understanding of reading and writing, another passion of mines.

I love teaching kids how to be confident in there school life. I have worked with many young children. Children learn at different paces so I try to be patient and encouraging.

By using positive reinforcement and having fun with what we learn I can ensure they are enjoying themselves and growing as a student.

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 am passionate about teaching and enjoy helping future nurses enter the workforce. I have taught a variety of nursing courses and worked as a college professor since 1984. I also coordinated a Student Success program at a college of nursing for 5 years and led group and individual tutoring sessions to increase student retention. I have cared for patients in a variety of settings to include schools, homes, long term care units, psychiatric units, acute care hospital units, the ER and the OR. I assisted in the writing of questions for the NCLEX examination and the Nurse Educator Certification Examination. I currently teach at Thomas Edison State University and have taught Health Assessment, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology at the BSN and MSN level. I look forward to assisting you to be successful in your nursing courses.

I enjoy working with students online and creating a relaxed, supportive space where you can feel comfortable asking questions.

I am looking forward to working with students again! I was a teacher/tutor for several years before beginning my family 2 years ago. My husband and I recently had twin girls and then a little boy so I have taken a break from the 9-5 scene for a bit. I miss teaching and working with students and I am excited to get back into the world of education. Helping students understand different topics in math (specifically) is my passion and I look forward to working with new students to help them gain confidence and comfort with any areas they are seeking help with.

I am excited to be a tutor and to help students strive towards their level of success and beyond!

With 17 years in the nursing profession, and 23 years total in the healthcare field, I can help students to see the bigger picture in the world of healthcare. If a student is motivated to learn, there is no end to what they can achieve. I struggled in math in high school and realized in college that sometimes the way something is explained by another person is all that's needed to get someone to understand it. I hope to be that person for students and help them grasp concepts by explaining it in a way they understand.
