Hello! My name is Jaime Rakowski, or "Mrs. Rakowski" to my students. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University as well as Kennesaw State University. In the 8 years after I graduated from CMU with my Bachelors of Applied Arts in Child Development, I worked in many daycares as my husband and I moved for his job. During this time, I worked with infants-school aged children. After settling down here in Georgia, I went back to KSU to earn a second bachelors degree. This time it was a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from KSU, I was hired to teach 3rd grade at the elementary school that I student taught for. I spent 3 years in 3rd grade and moved down to 2nd grade where I taught an additional 3.5 years. In early 2021, I also received my ESOL certification.Working with children from birth-5th grade, I have seen the huge importance of early childhood literacy. Early literacy has a major impact on a student's success in and out of the classroom. This is where my passion lies. But reading isn't the only thing that I love to teach! I also love math and social studies. Above all, I love to learn and I love to foster and build that love of learning within each of the students that I work with.

I believe that every student should have access to a good education no matter what personal reasons they may be going through. I am 19 years old pursuing a degree in biology on the pre medical route. Although I am looking to be a doctor, I have loved learning and teaching math for a while now. I know that being a good tutor is not just about being proficient in a subject but, also being able to relay the information to different types of people. I know that math is something that a lot of students struggle with no matter the age, but I am certain that I can aid with this difficult subject.

I recently graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University. I have been tutoring off and on for roughly the past year. I specialize in tutoring children who are between the ages of 5 and 12. Specifically, I am qualified to tutor students in Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. My preferences tend towards Science and Social Studies; however, I am more than proficient in each of the said subjects. I tend to prefer a hands on approach where I directly address the student's personal needs. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, working on computer hardware, and developing software.

I am an experienced tutor and instructor of STEM concentrations. Throughout my collegiate career as a Biology major; I taught students in elementary, middle and high school laboratory techniques, physics, engineering, biology and much more. I eventually pursued a degree that encompassed my interests in both science and health policy and recently graduated with a Master in Public Health. I am very passionate about science, math and community health.

As a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in English Education, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience in a tutoring environment. In addition to my degree and field experience at the high school level, I also had the pleasure to work with students of all ages abroad, teaching them English. After teaching abroad I began teaching secondary English (grades 5 - 12) at a private school that specializes in teaching students with various learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. I believe that every student deserves patience and enthusiasm placed in their education. My best teachers were ones that took time with me, challenged me, and encouraged me. They are the reason I became a teacher myself, and I hope to share that same kind of passion with the students I work with. I look forward to expanding my own horizons as a teacher and working with students in order to expand their own knowledge.

I know that every student learns differently, which is why I try to tailor my tutoring to a student's best mode of learning.I graduated from KSU with a BS in Mathematics Education, and was among the top in my class.

I have been a professional learning facilitator since 2001. I attended Truett McConnell College and The University of Georgia. I finished with a major in Middle Grades Education with a double minor in Science and Social Science from Kennesaw State University.

I am currently enrolled in the MAT TESOL program with Kennesaw State University. I do currently teach with a program called QKids, which teaches Chinese children English. It allows me to work on the skillsets required to be an ESOL teacher, which are: patience, kindness, and understanding. I work with ages 5-12, so I have a variety of ages and learning levels throughout my mornings. I enjoy communicating and learning more about other cultures, while also learning effective tools that help me become a better teacher for the future.A few personal tidbits of information about me are:I LOVE reading. For me, it's like a movie going on in my mind. I am able to create and picture each character in the book and what their surroundings look like.I am a lover of the outdoors. I feel more at peace when I am in nature, allowing me to relish in the beauty that surrounds me. This includes hikes, walks, or any other outdoor activities.I have become a huge advocate for health and exercise. I love moving my body and fueling it with the right nutrients. It makes me feel better and act happier throughout the day.I have a love for playing guitar. It is a stress outlet for me, allowing me to express myself in ways I cannot when around other people.

People always ask me why I chose to become a teacher. The truth is that I always knew. Ever since I was a little girl, my mother would always find me with all my toys lined up in front of me, and me in front of a chalkboard teaching them how to draw.There is really nothing like teaching. I think it is the most gratifying profession in the world. I absolutely love the outcome of what I do because I believe in long lasting relationships and long lasting thirst for knowledge. That is exactly what I teach my students. I teach them that the sky is the limit and that "I can't" should not be a part of their vocabulary. I am great at seeing the potential in everyone and not giving up until they see it too and live up to it.For the past 7 years, I have been a part of a wonderful community while working as a High School I.B. Art Teacher for the American School of Quito in Ecuador. I worked with 11th and 12th graders on the production of high quality art production, careful planning, reflection and written critical analysis with creative problem solving skills. This job has brought enormous opportunities for professional and personal growth. Being part of this demanding program has been very challenging but also filled with rewards. Making students' faces light up when their hard efforts pay off and they finally "get it", is priceless!My I.B. annual scores have always been above world average. My students have participated in national and international art contests with magnificent results with prizes and awards. I have formed an amazing bond with them that, I am sure, will last a lifetime. I still have students who I taught 7 years ago, tell me that what I taught them has stayed with them all these years. And like I said, that is what teaching is all about. That is why I became a teacher.I have good conflict resolution skills, I am patient, I am fair and I have enthusiastic energy. I believe I am qualified for a teaching job within your community and I will make a valuable addition to your team.

Hello, my name is Anita and I enjoy helping others. Presently, I work as an associate attorney, and in my free time, I mentor young adults and volunteer at various organizations serving the less fortunate. I love reading, exploring new places and cultures, and I enjoy meeting new people.My academic career has been challenging but rewarding. I understand we are all different and some people tend to be better in some things than they are in others. I too understand my limitations. However, I have tried to help others in any way possible. Most recently, I have tutored students that sat for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam. However, I have also assisted students in elementary school, high school and college. I love learning new things and so for me school was always about exploring areas that I knew nothing about. I recognize that not everyone shares the same passion but I do not believe that the lack of passion should result in negative grades or outcomes. Education is very important and so whether you need a little push or simply more ideas on a subject matter, I look forward to working with you.

I have been a teacher of Mathematics and Physics since 2008. I earned a BA in Mathematics and a MS in Statistics. I believe every student can learn and it's the job of the teacher to ensure that the student's unique learning style is activated. I am certified to teach Physics and Mathematics, and am currently working as an instructor of Mathematics and Programming at the Interactive College of Technology and Kennesaw State University. I believe when a subject is presented correctly, any student can develop a love for it. I have taught elementary students, high school students and college students, everything from basic Arithmetic to Vector Calculus and Complex Analysis. My experiences as a teacher have led me to stress the importance of realizing what the transferable skills are from Mathematics and that it is a human endeavor, above all else. I take a holistic approach to teaching, which means that students are expected to reason through problems algebraically, graphically, pictorially and verbally. When students are able to synthesize these four approaches to concept mastery, real understanding emerges, and students, perhaps for the first times in their lives, see what they are truly doing. Thanks for reading my profile, and I am eager to help your child discover the beauty of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics.

I have always had a mind for mathematics and science. Because of this gift, I was always the one person in class everyone asked for help. I learned quickly how to teach others, which helped in my home life as I had a younger brother who was not so gifted in math. Through him, and his friends who also struggled with mathematics, I found that most people struggle with math because they believe it is too difficult. I believe by being a tutor and helping others learn I can impart my wisdom to the next generation and make a difference in the world.What sparked my interest in Biology was an interest in life. I loved animals and learning about them. This love for animals narrowed to a love of the complexity of the human system, which I am now studying. When I'm not studying I enjoy music of all genre. From VNV Nation to Trivium to Earth, Wind, and Fire, I love all music and can appreciate most music. I also enjoy reading novels, preferably those in the realm of science fiction. And though I can enjoy playing video games in a casual sense, I'd much prefer walking Kennesaw Mountain or skiing on Lake Altoona.It is my hope that through my experiences as a knowledgeable brother, friend, and tutor, I can also help a broader range of people learn the subjects they are experiencing difficulties in.

I am a dedicated tutor, passionate about empowering students to reach their full potential. I adapt my methods to meet the needs of the students as individuals, focusing on a positive and engaging learning environment. I believe that education should not just be about knowledge but also about building confidence and critical thinking skills. My goal is to inspire curiosity, challenge my students, and help them reach an understanding where they can teach what they learn while celebrating their efforts and success.

I believe that learning is fluid and that education is a powerful tool that no one can take away from you.My passion for tutoring developed when I would help younger students and fellow peers and watch that invisible lightbulb light up when they began to understand a topic; it was very rewarding to watch them grow. Learning about students is so fulfilling - there are countless things a tutor can learn.

I am a passionate tutor for young students ranging from kindergarten to middle school, motivated by my skill and experience in working with children for a number of years. My love for the educational environment and teaching methodology has led me to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have experience working with children through childcare, athletics, and tutoring. I have tutored students at libraries, virtually, and in school settings. As a tutor, I believe each student has a unique way in which they will comprehend the material effectively. Whether it is drawing out a visual aid, using real life examples, or analyzing the problem and breaking it down (colors are great for this), I can adapt quickly to a students situation to help them reach their goals. I am very cognizant of the extra support young students need with focusing and a structured learning environment, and have the confidence I can assist them to succeed with their work. Though I am well versed in all subjects, I favor the Language Arts and Reading subjects as an individual who finds joy in reading and writing in my leisure time.

I am an undergraduate student at Kennesaw State University, pursuing a Bachelor in the Arts of English alongside a Minor in Professional Writing. Since I was a kid, I've loved reading and writing. After graduating, I decided to share my expertise with other students, and realized that English is a subject many students struggle in. It is a difficult subject to teach, but an important one in our day and age; whatever a student's aspirations may be, a firm grasp of reading and writing is an essential skill.That's why I'm so passionate about tutoring this subject. In a large classroom, it can be hard to take the time to give each student the personal attention they need. Every student's level of understanding is different, so I believe in offering specific, personalized help for students who want to improve their writing. I love tutoring all things English, from Essay Writing and Editing, to Reading Comprehension, all the way to Composition.I believe communication is essential to our professional and personal aspirations, and hope that my students and I can help each other learn and grow as readers and writers.
