I am a bilingual school-based speech-language pathologist in Milwaukee. I have been working in the schools for over 4 years supporting Spanish speaking students with communication disorders. I completed my Master's in speech-language pathology from Marquette University in 2016. I have also tutored students of all grade levels in Spanish, math, reading and writing for over 8 years, and enjoy supporting learners so they can be successful at school and work towards their goals for the future. I work on a daily basis to support English language learners and students with special needs, and have tutored students from many diverse backgrounds. My approach to tutoring is identifying each individual's strengths and skills, and teaching specific strategies so the student can feel empowered to support their own learning. I am patient, thorough, and receptive to how each student learns best.

The average American consumes an estimated 100,000 words each day in conversation, news articles, blog entries, social media posts, and more. I have devoted my academic and professional career to discovering how to use these units of communication to create the biggest impact, whether it be in my copywriting, teaching, or audio and video production.I recently completed my Master of Arts in Communication from Marquette University, where I taught over 300 students in undergraduate courses that cover the basics of applied research and visual communication. I guided my students on how to create informational or fundraising brochures for twenty-four local nonprofits. I also earned Marquette's unique Certificate in Digital Storytelling, a program that has allowed me to further explore how audio and video resources can be used to craft engaging stories for fundraising, education, or entertainment.Prior to this, I was the Communications Director for a new nonprofit, where I was able to increase online and in-person engagement through an established mailing list and social media accounts. I produced viral videos that received national media attention and responses from Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake (among other legislators). I analyzed the demographics of our most engaged members and targeted an ad campaign to a specific subset of women, increasing our Facebook followers by over 100% over the span of two months.I also served as the Public Information Assistant for the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors. In addition to my general duties managing the office and organizing events, I also wrote accessible press releases, doubled their Twitter followers, created step-by-step guides on how to use various web applications, and delivered concise news alerts to the entire county courthouse staff. I instructed other team members how to use the Hootsuite social media management system to schedule effective Facebook and Twitter posts that can be analyzed in terms of viewership and engagement.I crafted other digital campaigns during my work with Vertical Measures. I ghostwrote blog posts for a variety of clients using evolving SEO techniques and maintained a number of other lucrative blogs devoted to politics and popular culture. My experiences collaborating with diverse communities in Bulgaria and South Korea would invariably also be an asset to any organization committed to expanding its reach among various nationalities and ethnicities.

I know as a student, whatever age you may be, you will have trouble with some schoolwork. I went through the exact same things, and luckily, I had a tutor, someone who knew exactly what the subject was about and taught me how to solve the problem, without solving it themselves. I aim to be that same person to any student, who is having trouble with certain subjects at school.

During my academic journey, mathematics presented significant challenges for me. The initial frustration of not grasping concepts immediately and the arduous effort required to maintain my progress were constant companions. However, over time, with the appropriate discipline and support, I came to realize that mathematical proficiency is not solely dependent on innate gifts. It lies in developing specific thought patterns, acquiring skills systematically, and cultivating the resilience to persevere despite obstacles. This transformative experience profoundly impacted my life, and it serves as a primary motivation for my passion in assisting individuals in their mathematical development and beyond. Presently, I hold the position of an engineering/technology leader specifically working on the virtual reality (VR) field, possessing a robust foundation in applied mathematics and sciences. My expertise encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, statistics, quantitative methods, programming languages, physics, and other scientific fields. These skills are seamlessly integrated into my daily work, and I derive immense satisfaction from demonstrating how these concepts manifest in practical and real-world applications. I hold degrees in Electrical Engineering and possess extensive experience not only in utilizing mathematics professionally but also in facilitating students' comprehension of the subject matter. My work has encompassed learners at various levels, ranging from beginners to those tackling advanced topics. Throughout my interactions, I consistently prioritize meeting students where they are in their understanding. My preferred areas for tutoring include algebra and calculus, as they serve as the bedrock for numerous other concepts. Once students attain a deep understanding of these subjects, their confidence tends to flourish significantly. My tutoring approach is characterized by a calm, encouraging, and clarity-focused demeanor. I firmly believe in fostering comprehension rather than mere memorization of procedures. I break down complex concepts, employ real-world examples, and actively encourage students to pose questions and engage in problem-solving discussions with me. My ultimate objective is for each student to leave my sessions not only with the ability to solve problems but also with a profound understanding of the underlying principles that underpin their solutions. Beyond tutoring and engineering, I am an avid enthusiast of various fields, such as technology, commercial aviation, space exploration, design, and artificial intelligence. I derive great pleasure from identifying connections between these interests and the subjects that students are currently studying. Above all, I aspire to empower the students I work with to feel capable and supported in their pursuit of mathematical knowledge. While mathematics may not initially come effortlessly, I firmly believe that with the appropriate guidance and assistance, anyone can achieve their goals.

I am an adventurer at heart and I love the process of discovery. My philosophy about tutoring is that we do not need students who just learn but rather students who are inspired to learn. Only after they have been inspired will they be motivated to do well and even take their learning and create something new with it. Having earned a Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering and Management with a concentration in Engineering Leadership, I am very passionate about math and the way it describes the world around us. However, I really love any subject that relates back to who we are as humans and allows us to innovate and create. My hope and goal is that the students who love math will see the math in art and those who love art will see art in math. Most of all, I hope my students find a passion for learning.

I believe that giving every student access to a quality education is the greatest act of social justice in our times. Thus, you will never find anyone who is willing to work harder to ensure the success of ALL students.I believe that this belief shines through in my track record. After graduating magna cum laude from Marquette University, I have been involved in public education for 14 years. For 13 of those years, I was a high-school English teacher, and I strove to teach a wide variety of classes (from AP to remedial and everything in between) in schools with a wide variety of student demographics (from very affluent suburbs to the inner city of Milwaukee.) As a result, I really have worked with--and had success with--all types of students. I am also comfortable with all age levels. This past school year, I became a school counselor at an elementary school. It was different experience, but I loved every minute of it!I have also had a wide variety of experiences tutoring. I have volunteered in many inner-city homework help programs. I have also worked for tutoring companies, and of course, I have done my own private tutoring for many years. Again, all of this experience has allowed me to work one-on-one or in small groups with a wide variety of students.In every setting, I have ever worked, students and parents have always said that they felt I was an excellent educator. I don't say that to be arrogant because I am humbled by their kind words. However, since education is as important as I said above, I take these words as the greatest compliments I could ever receive. I think the reason that I have been able to work so well with so many different students is because I am able to quickly forge relationships based on mutual respect. I treat students as people first, something we all too often forget. I am not afraid to show them my personality and make learning fun. Once students trust, you can push them, and they will rise to the challenge because they know that you are there to catch them if they fall. My students know I am there for them. Always.I appreciate your consideration of allowing me to work with your greatest gifts.

My love for accounting started in a high school classroom when I looked up and realized that I was the only one not only paying attention, but actually getting excited over debits and credits! That love was nurtured in college when I took Accounting 101 from what had to be one of the most passionate accounting professors ever! I still remember those years of learning fondly now, after over 14 years in the profession. I graduated from Marquette University with a Bachelor of Science (concentration in Accounting) and from The Ohio State University with a Master of Accounting. I am a CPA - certified for over 10 years - with experience in various roles including bookkeeping, audit, and consulting across several different industries. Early on in my career I was offered the opportunity to curate and facilitate trainings for new auditors in an accounting firm of 2,000+ professionals. Drawing from the passion I witnessed in my college classrooms, I have now been creating accounting technical material and training professionals and aspiring professionals at all levels for a little over eight years. I have also had the distinct pleasure to serve as a mentor to many along the way. And that has given me the most joy! My style is very personalized to how you best learn, responsive to your strengths and weaknesses, and informed by loads of real-world application that makes the material more accessible and less "textbook." Let's have fun learning together!

I am a junior studying Biological Sciences at Marquette University. I have a passion for teaching, and my plans are to continue on to graduate school and potentially become a professor. I currently have experience tutoring high school and college students, primarily in the natural sciences.In the past, I have tutored using a variety of teaching styles. I believe in listening to what has worked (or hasn't worked) for the student previously and applying that to the subject or task at hand.I also understand what it is like to be a student struggling in a subject, despite their best efforts. I have learned many techniques for studying efficiently, organizing information, and managing stress that have helped me through these situations in the past, and I would love to help students through this process if need be.All in all, I am here to work with you to find the best system so that you can achieve.

Education is the building block for a better future. I come from a family of educators, including my parents and grandparents, who instilled in me the importance of education. I want to become a STEM teacher because I want to educate, guide, and inspire students to become the next generation of scientists who can change the world. I believe that my job as a tutor is to encourage students to become lifelong learners by providing a learning environment that simulates critical thinking without fear of asking questions. I try to help students understand the fundamental concepts by instilling confidence in their knowledge, providing various learning techniques, and connections to the real world that inspires curiosity. I find it rewarding to help a student understand a new, challenging concept. By creating a classroom that simulates critical thinking and a desire to learn, I believe I have provided the tools for my students to be successful as they move throughout their college career. Helping to create the next generation of scientists has inspired me to become a better scientist and I will continue to challenge my students as well as myself in the future.

I love the world of STEM - from math, to physics, to chemistry. I guess that's why I became an engineer! I am hoping to help young minds feel inspired and empowered to contribute to the ever-changing field of STEM.I discovered tutoring a few years ago when I realized that the best way for me to master a subject was also by sharing my knowledge of the subject with others - so we could each succeed together. Mentoring is a big passion of mine so by tutoring young minds, it has allowed me to become a role model for some students as they navigate through their academic goals.I have have discovered ways to simplify complex subjects to others by improving note-taking skills, showing step-by-step work/examples, color-coding information, and making the topics within a subject more engaging. This has helped students make tutoring feel more fun rather than feel like a chore or "extra school."I have also managed to navigate a tutoring environment both in-person and virtual so I can easily adapt to current circumstances if needed.

I am a senior in the College of Education at Marquette University. I will be graduating in May, and plan to become an elementary school teacher. I love to teach, and am very focused on the idea of a differentiated classroom that works for all students and types of intelligences. This carries over into tutoring, and I am all for approaching content in different ways in order to find the best fit for my students.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Dallas in 2012 and my Master of Arts in British, American, and Anglophone Literature from Marquette University in 2019. I have worked in grades k-12 in all subject areas (primarily using a classical curriculum); I have taught rhetoric and composition courses at the freshman and sophomore collegiate level; and I have also co-taught junior and senior collegiate English literature courses centered on a singular topic. I love discussing literature in depth with my students and I particularly enjoy helping them along with the writing process- crafting a thesis, exploring sources, and proofreading! Proofreading and dialoging with students about their papers is, for me, the most joyful and fruitful part of the writing process. Far from being the mundane task of searching for typos of which it is usually thought, this is the part of the writing process where the core of the paper is crafted and the writer able to refine his or her own voice.I am happy to help as a second pair of eyes for a single assignment in the short term or for an extended period of time for a larger assignment. I am happy to help students wade through their reading assignments whether it be a primary literature source or secondary critical or theoretical sources. I can also help with note taking strategies, brainstorming, and paper organization. I would also love to work with any students wanting to focus on a particular author, genre, or era in literature (prose or poetry) purely out of interest or as a hobby of sorts.Best of luck in all your scholarly endeavors!
