Award-Winning Tutors from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

I tutor college physics and teach physics at a technical college. To me, tutoring is a relationship, forged with each student individually to meet you where you are and help you along your own best path toward mastery. In my free time, I love reading and writing science fiction and fantasy.

Teaching philosophy and its related subjects is my passion. Philosophy is full of useful wisdom, but can be rather confusing at times. The best way to cut through this confusion is by having a 1-on-1 session with a tutor that understands where your confusion is stemming from and knows how to resolve it. That being said, sometimes philosophy is also about coming to conclusions for yourself. So, while I do clarify topics and teach students more about them, I do not tell students exactly what to think. Because of this, my teaching style is less like a lecture, and more like an open discourse. I teach general philosophy, the philosophy of religion, ethical philosophy and sociology.I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with a Psychology Minor, and I am working towards a PhD. After earning a PhD, my ultimate goal is to teach philosophy at a university. This has been my goal ever since I took my first philosophy course at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I realized that philosophy is one of the only subjects that can be applied to everyday life, no matter how old or young a student is and regardless of their profession. Thats why I am passionate about teaching philosophy - it's practical.During my time as an undergraduate, I joined the philosophy club and tutored many fellow students. I led class discussions on a variety of philosophical topics, and even participated in some public speaking events. Overall, I believe that my studies at university, along with my teaching experiences, have provided me with a great foundation for tutoring. I'm happy to help anyone who wishes to know more about the subjects that I offer.

Over the past 15 years, I have worked as an educator in a variety of roles. As a tutor, teacher's aide, and teacher, I have worked with students of every age from preschool to adult. I have worked with English language learners in the United States and Japan, tutored middle school, high school, and college students, and worked as a full-time classroom teacher.While my strongest areas are reading and writing, I also spent two years studying engineering and have tutored students in college mathematics courses. I am comfortable describing concepts in chemistry and physics as well.The result of my studies and work in education is flexibility as an educator. I am able to accommodate the subject matter needs of many students, and to modify my instructional style to complement the learning style of the student.Part of what I enjoy about education is learning how to reach a student in the most effective way possible. Drawing on past experience and finding creative ways to illustrate concepts is a stimulating and rewarding endeavor that usually involves a lot of smiles and laughter for both the student and me. I enjoy discussing and discovering connections between subjects, then using those connections to help create a deeper understanding of the material.When I'm not working, I enjoy reading (generally fiction and science fiction), playing basketball and running, and watching NBA games.

Hi, my name is Madison. I live in Wisconsin with my husband and daughter. I have a BA in Women's and Gender studies. I am currently getting an MBA. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. Reading did not always come easy to me. As a young child I struggled to read well. With the help from amazing teachers and tutors I found my passion for reading.

Dear students,It is my pleasure to introduce myself. I am an educator for more than 25 years of experience at both K-12 and university levels. I got my PhD in Education from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2017, and my master's in Educational Leadership in Higher Education from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2014. Besides, I have Bachelor and Master's degrees in the English Language and Literature from the University of Jordan.My students were from different backgrounds and nationalities. I have an international experience as I lived and worked in three countries before arriving in the United States. I started my career as a high school teacher of English in Dubai for 11 years. Then, I taught at higher academic institutions in Jordan, Oman, and the United States.Working at higher academic institutions for more than 14 years enhanced my professional skills and reinforced my opinions about diversity and inclusion. I am fortunate to have students from different backgrounds and ethnicities who are a rich source of understanding and appreciating other cultures.I received several awards for my dedication, commitment, and my positive contribution to education.

I spent twenty seven years as a teacher covering all grades Kindergarten through eight either as a classroom teacher or a reading teacher. My bachelor's degree is from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.I have a master's degree with a reading focus from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have a master's degree in education administration from Marian University.My main areas of interest in this tutoring position are in reading and general mathematics for elementary and middle grade students.My approach is to begin by assessing needs of the student. Sometimes this is done informally and other times it is more of a formal, written process. Once we understand needs, then we can make a plan for moving forward.Outside of education, I play guitar and steel guitar and restore old pinball and arcade games.

I've been teaching for 3 years and absolutely love it! I have worked with mostly high school kids but have also worked with middle schoolers. My daughter started school in the last few years and we are always working on homework and her skills. I enjoy seeing others learn, let's make this happen!I believe in presenting students with the information and skills they need to become stronger academically and build the confidence and skills required to navigate today's world as an independent learner. All students can improve if they desire and I strive to aid students to find their best.

I bring a diverse educational background to my tutoring practice, holding a BFA in Dance, an MFA in Dance, and an MBA in Business. My journey includes teaching Dance in secondary and elementary education, as well as working briefly as a special education and classroom instructor for children with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disorders. Transitioning from a corporate career, I pursued training in massage therapy with a focus on East Asian bodywork and clinical massage. Today, I am a licensed massage and bodywork therapist in Wisconsin and Illinois, where I also teach at the post-secondary level, covering Western sciences, massage and shiatsu techniques, and Chinese medicine. In my teaching philosophy, I prioritize tailoring information to match students' learning styles, fostering self-reflection and critical thinking to enhance comprehension and retention. Beyond education, I find joy in crafting, cooking, and gardening, activities that enrich my life and inspire creativity.

I am a world-traveled teacher, with a degree in Global Studies and a certificate in Peace and Conflict Resolution. I have taught English in Rwanda, South Korea, and France. I have also led many workshops in non-violent communication. More recently, I created and taught a course on cryptocurrency for beginners. I am also a beekeeper who loves to teach people about honeybees and the importance of pollinators and sustainable agriculture. As a tutor, I connect easily with students, and I make learning fun and memorable while ensuring they are confident in the material.

I am a humorist, so please don't take my stern photo too seriously!I love mathematics, logic, probability, machine learning, decision making, and non-empirical theories of everything... But that should not intimidate you! I have extensive experience teaching Undergraduates in a variety of subject areas (by the time you read this, I will probably be again teaching in person courses at a University concurrently).Before I get too deep into me... I expect to focus my efforts on general college level mathematics, probability/statistics/decision making (SOA/CAS P Exam qualified), computer science, and data science/machine learning/AI (not robotics other than decision making). If you are studying at a Freshman/Sophomore Undergraduate level or preparing for College, I can meet you at your level at anything I am listed as qualified for. Upperclassmen should ask and the answer will be yes in some areas and no in others! But ask!Personally, I have a BA in Computer Science (Honors) and an MSci in Computational Finance (Honors), areas in which I have published in Academic journals. This prepared me for most recently teaching College Engineering Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra) at a German University (I speak German and can teach in German or Spanish, but I am American and English is my first language). As indicated, I am suited to teach any of a variety of Computer Science related topics as well. (Ask!)I previously received a BA/MA in Philosophy, from prestigious programs, where I concentrated on Mathematical Logic and (what is now considered) Machine Learning. In these programs, I taught Logic, Probability, Inference, and English Composition. This time also infected me with a keen interest in theoretical foundations for Computer Science, Data Science, and Mathematics/Logic.Again, I encourage you to ask me whether I can help you with a topic. In general, I often can't meet a students needs when they are very technical-topic specific or otherwise very specialized mathematical areas... If you need a tutor for the Go programming language, you can probably find somebody, but I am not that person (I do everything I can in Python and its libraries, but know Java/C++/SQL and others, e.g. a bit of Prolog, R/SAS. I also web-scraped the World Factbook to build geo.atheoryof.us)... but just ask and I will help you find your way!

I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Sociology and International Studies, including one year of study in Kenya. After graduating, I worked for several years as a systems analyst for a medical software company, and later for a children's hospital. This fall, I began a master's program in Cultural Foundations of Education. I teach ESL as part of my practicum in a local community center, and have also taught English in El Salvador. I am proficient in Spanish, including four months of intensive study at a Spanish language school, and am very familiar with how Spanish is taught in a classroom.Additionally, I have several months of experience tutoring in classrooms (especially middle school reading), and also have some experience tutoring the US naturalization test. I hope to complete my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification by June.I am passionate about many subjects, including Spanish, ESL, English, History, and Political Science. I attempt to ground my teaching and tutoring in the daily experiences, motivations, and goals of the student, customizing the materials to meet their needs and learning styles. I believe that education is a two-way street: we can all be teachers, and we can all be learners.

I am a graduate student in biological anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I moved here from Kansas City (grew up in Central KS) to attend school though I come from a family of Packers fans. My graduate research is very multi-disciplinary covering content in anthropology, biology, psychology, neuroscience, and some public health as well. As an undergraduate, I did a double major in Anthropology and Theatre & Film then went back to school to do pre-medicine and molecular biosciences. Prior to my emergence as a teacher, I was a phlebotomist for several years and worked in a research laboratory for the University of Kansas Medical Center. Outside of working as a teaching assistant and my own classes, I function as the president of the Anthropology Student Union, take dance classes, watch Mad Men and Game of Thrones, and try to keep up with my favorites sports teams.I enjoy tutoring because I get the opportunity to do more as a mentor. As a tutor, I want to help the student learn new concepts while also teaching them study skills that are usually not taught in a classroom but only get better with practice. My teaching philosophy is to encourage the student to be confident with the material versus striving for perfect memorization. Different individuals learn some things better than others and it is about finding a way to make that information important or real based on your personal memory recall. For example, do not ever make me change a tire... Though I have seen it done multiple times, I never had to do it myself so I never learned!

I love accounting! Yes, you read that right. I love accounting!What do I love more than accounting? Many things, one of which is the opportunity to help others understand accounting. Whether you are taking a single accounting class or looking to make a career of it, I'd like to work with you at your level to achieve positive results.I am patient and attentive and am willing to adapt to your learning style. I look forward to working with you!

Academia has always been an important aspect of my life. I have always taken my studies pretty seriously, but I took a greater interest in them during high school. I attended a private school where I was given the opportunity to discover a large range of topics I had never thought about pursuing, such as engineering and biomedical sciences. In college, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics, while minoring in Arabic and gaining a certificate in Middle Eastern and North African studies. During this period, I started tutoring at my school's academic success center. I truly enjoy helping students understand the content necessary to succeed in their academic endeavors, but I also offer my students study and organization tips that will carry over to various aspects of their lives. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago, which I commute to from Milwaukee.

One of my main passions in life is continued learning. My strength lies in mechanical engineering in which I have completed a bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Having taken part in a study abroad program, I've studied in central Taiwan alongside students from all over the world. My primary goal with my students is to ensure they succeed. My areas of strength are trig, algebra, calculus and physics. The few years I spent as a director for the HYPE UWM hip hop dance team gave me the opportunity to coach a lot of different people, and not just teaching math. As a weekend warrior mechanic, I have been fixing cars for the past 10 years which has significantly strengthened my problem solving abilities. Public speaking has been a strength since early on and I'm always looking forward to the next opportunity to pass on as much knowledge as possible. Currently, I work as a product service engineer for industrial and marine transmissions. Throughout my schooling I have worked in manufacturing, quality control and design engineering fields.I am a strong advocator of making sure my students are able to demonstrate to others the very problems they were having trouble with originally. Certain subjects can be very difficult so you can be guaranteed I have as much patience and different approaches as it takes to help my student understand not only the problem but the concept.

Experienced University Instructor in web and graphic design, usability, and experiential learning. I teach mainly undergraduate students in both online only, blended, and in-person formats. I run an internship program in which teams of 4-5 students work on a technology related project for a nonprofit organization like creating a website or conducting a social media analysis and campaign. This experience builds student confidence to be able to obtain paid internships or entry-level positions upon graduation.My strength as an Instructor/Tutor comes from being able to relate to students. I had experiences in college with coding instructors who were great coders but not great at translating that knowledge into concepts I could break down and understand as a student. I strive to start small and work up to greater complexity because of this. I believe that students learn best and become interested in a topic by not getting frustrated or believing it is too difficult at the beginning. This doesn't interest students in a topic and may turn them off to investigating it further which doesn't serve anyone in the long run.

Hello! I am a medical student who recently graduated with degrees in biochemistry and neuroscience from the University of Wisconsin - Madison.While I am capable at helping students with specific content in their classes, I feel that my strengths are in helping students to optimize their studying and understanding with tested methods and resources. I have successfully completed both the ACT and the MCAT, and can assist students in content related to the exams and study techniques related to them.I have conducted research in the Department of Integrative Biology as well as the Department of English at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. These experiences make me a great resource for students who desire feedback on personal statements, essays, and research papers.These last 6 years have been a whirlwind of interesting academic and personal experiences for me, and I would love to share my knowledge with other students and give them the advice I wish I had on my journey.

I believe in the power of education.

Before I liked biochemistry, I was more into mathematics. So, how did I get interested in PhD.? Well, if you had met me 5 years ago, my answer would have been a strong No. But during the year 2014-2015, it was my Senior Design project that sparked that light of curiosity in my head about biochemistry. I was working with microalgae, and the work fascinated me towards biological pathways. This made my choice for PhD. much easier. When I got into PhD program, my focus of study was clear. I joined this group that has synthesized several anticancer drugs. And to learn about the drugs interaction with cellular pathways, that leads to its anticancer effect was itself very interesting and worth exploring.

I love to teach and believe every student is capable of learning. I think learning should be fun and that everyone learns in their own way.

I received my B.S. in Psychology and a Minor in Music at the University of Wyoming and my M.S. in Psychology with a focus in pediatric and health psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Child Psychology at Southern Illinois University. I have tutored a wide range of subjects and taught Psychological Research Methods, Intro to Psychology, Intro to Clinical/Counseling Psychology, Helping Skills in Clinical/Counseling Psychology, Multivariate Statistics of Psychology, and Experimental Design (Univariate Statistics) in a classroom setting. Regarding statistics, I have training in computing analyses by hand or via statistical programs including SPSS, Minitab, StatCrunch, and JMP. I am passionate about teaching psychology and statistics because they can be applied to your everyday life and in many different fields.

#kindness #positivity #literacy #outrageouslove #yoga #travelling #equity #empowerment #reading #writing #education #PBL Previous bosses and Spotify have both called me a pioneer because I'm not afraid to try something new, love it, advocate for it, and make it work within or outside of traditional structures. I am a kind, genuine, positive educator who believes all people are capable of learning! I will ensure my learners feel empowered. I have experience as a traditional educator, however, my passion is project-based learning. Because of that, I have taught all ages various topics!

Hello! I am an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher. During the school year, I teach in an Early Childhood unit that services children from K3-K5. I am passionate about adapting grade level content in a way that makes it accessible to ALL learners, because I believe that knowledge is non-linear, and is unique to all learners.

I have been tutoring since 2008. I've helped 1000+ students to improve their understanding in general chemistry, biology (especially in genetics, anatomy, and microbiology), most physics courses, organic chemistry, math (algebra, geometry, and pre-calc), ACT, GRE, DAT, MCAT, and other test prep. I have a level 1 & 2 tutor certification from the College Learning and Reading Association. I offer one-on-one, small group, and online tutoring.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary/Middle school education and Learning Disabilities from UW-Eau Claire. I completed my post-baccaulaurate degree for Deaf/Hard of Hearing education from UW-Milwaukee. I received my Master of Arts in Education from Viterbo University. I have been a teacher for 26.5 years. I was a general education teacher for 12 years and a teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing for 14.5 years. I believe that all students can learn. I teach students age 3-21. I not only love teaching, but I love learning as well.

I have a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin???Milwaukee in English and am currently working as a composition instructor at Milwaukee Area Technical College and at Bryant and Stratton College. I have also lived and worked as a second language teacher in Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Aside from teaching, I also am a writer and a translator (Japanese to English).I have worked as a tutor at the Writing Center at UW-M and have also studied tutoring pedagogy. My method of tutoring is to first discuss the assignment with the student, read the assignment prompt and then read the student's essay. I work top-down; that is, I look for higher level problems, and a fully developed thesis statement and/or clear supporting evidence, before looking at mechanical issues such as grammar and spelling. This method is student-centered, and I work to get the student writers to understand how to become better writers for themselves.

WE can do it.

I am a retired elementary school teacher. I taught for the past 15 years in grades 3-6. I currently hold a Wisconsin State Teaching Licence for grades 1-6, and have completed a Master's Degree in Education in 2010. I enjoy working one-on-one with children and helping them reach their goals.

Hello, As a retired physician with 18 years of clinical and educational experience, I have always found that teaching, tutoring and/or mentoring students was one of my favorite challenges with the most rewards. Providing patient care was certainly rewarding, but after leaving clinical medicine, I decided to continue educating by tutoring both undergraduate and graduate students in subjects relevant to pursuing a career in healthcare. I thoroughly enjoy watching students grow and mature as they learn to work towards their goals. Subjects I tutor include General Biology, AP Biology, College Biology, Cell Biology, Anatomy/Physiology, Psychology (all facets), Clinical Psychology and Medical Terminology. But, my real areas of expertise include Neuroscience, Pathophysiology, Psychopathology, Pharmacology and Psychopharmacology. Other topics of personal interest include medical ethics, the sociological impact of trauma and, the impact of the internet and social media on "post-COVID-19" educational platforms. After receiving my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and my M.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin, I went on to do my post-graduate training in Psychiatry in the U.S. Air Force serving military personnel and their families at Wilford Hall Medical Center in Texas. I then went on to complete a fellowship in HIV/AIDS psychiatry in New York City. While working in various clinical and educational settings around the country, I have had many opportunities to observe, understand and embrace people from various cultural backgrounds. It still amazes me when students come from abroad, knowing minimal English, yet strive so hard to achieve their goals while also having to learn the "language" of the medical field. And so my teaching philosophy is simple: ANYONE can learn ANYTHING if they have the tools, the determination and willingness to do so. Socioeconomic barriers should NEVER dissuade a student from receiving a quality education. Because every person is unique, I tailor my tutoring based on the individual needs and goals of my students. Therefore, I like to know a bit about a student's life, both in and outside the classroom. It is essential for creating a unique learning plan. I teach students "how" to think, rather than just "what" to think. This, I believe, is the cornerstone of effective problem solving and innovation. Asking Google or Alexa for an answer is not permitted with my students UNLESS the student has a solid grasp of the subject matter at hand. One of my favorite teaching techniques is explaining a complicated topic using everyday life examples or anecdotes from my experiences. I strongly encourage all my students to be curious, ask questions and then challenge them with questions as well. Ask me anything and I'll know the answer about 75% of the time; the rest we find out together. I learn from my students as much as I hope they learn from me. Learning how to take whatever data or information is given and then thinking about HOW to use it to solve a problem or arrive at the answer is one of the key elements to being successful inside and outside the classroom as well as in life. Outside of my tutoring commitments, I enjoy the solitude of a walk by the lake, reading a fascinating murder/horror mystery, watching vintage films, hanging out with good friends having "cell-phone-free" conversation and spending time with my ever so energetic cat, Taki. Hopefully if you are reading this you are interested in one or more of the topics I tutor. I can only guarantee that you and I working together as a team will get you over any subject matter hurdles you might have. Passing, failing, getting the A or satisfying a requirement is ultimately your responsibility. I am only here to guide you with ways I know work for you to succeed.

I received my Bachelor's in Computer Science. I often get surprised reactions whenever I tell people this, but I believe that anyone can go into the STEM field if they really wanted to. As a tutor, I would not only like to help others to develop their skills, but to also take on the growth mindset. Regardless of how difficult a subject may appear at first, it won't always be that way. Skills are learned and learning is a rewarding journey that we all should embark on.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Educational Leadership from Cardinal Stritch University and over 10 years of tutoring and classroom experience, I specialize in helping students strengthen their reading, writing, grammar, and overall English language skills. I work with learners from elementary school through adulthood and focus on building confidence, improving comprehension, and developing strong communication skills. My teaching style is warm, supportive, and highly personalized. I use strategies that meet each student where they are, whether they need help with phonics, reading fluency, essay writing, grammar, or general homework support. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts in a way that makes learning clear, engaging, and meaningful. I am passionate about watching students grow both academically and personally. My goal is always to create a positive learning environment where students feel understood, valued, and motivated to succeed.

I have taught mathematics for 18 years. I currently am Principal of a 7 - 12 building. I love doing that job but miss helping students find something to love about math. I am committed to tailoring my approach to each student's unique needs and learning style, fostering a nurturing environment where mistakes are welcomed as part of the learning process. With patience, adaptability, and a passion for education, I strive to make learning engaging and relevant by incorporating innovative strategies and resources. My ultimate goal is not only to help students achieve academic success but also to instill a love of learning and foster critical thinking skills.

The German language is a language that is not commonly used in the U.S.A. however, it is good language to have on you when traveling to German speaking nations. The reason for this, is because the more effort you put towards the language and the people who speak it, the better your trip there will be. You like it when people know how to speak English? Now wouldn't it be wonderful if you could speak German?!German is set-up just like English, except the main verb goes at the end. So, there isn't much trouble there. However, the words are very long and complex. I remember being in my first German class and we learned the longest German word, and I thought to myself, why would I want to learn this language? Nonetheless, I stuck with it, and am glad I did, because when I figured out how their words worked I fell in love with the language!Now, I know that you are looking for the right person to teach you the German language... I have a ton of background in languages. I have taken Spanish, French, Russian, Swedish, Old English and Middle English before, along with German. I try to speak each of them or read some sort of material within them every month. However, I have chosen German to be my main Tutoring language because of living in Germany, where I picked up the do's and don'ts of the language.I hope that you will choose me, as your tutor. Thanks for checking me out and have a wonderful day. Take care.

Hello, after 30+ years in business, 28+ years building and selling machines that produce paper drink cups (yes, think of me every time you visit Starbucks) I am transitioning to help anyone looking to improve in class, with tests, earn their GED, or learn English as an adult. I look forward to working with you soon, Mike

I use my education and life experiences as a guide to living in general and in my personal interactions with others.In teaching, I combine my extensive educational background with related professional experience. I am willing to go an extra mile for all students who are willing to make a serious commitment to learning.It is my personal opinion, the use of common sense, will lead to rational and logical life decisions. Often this leads an individual to realize some things are not as difficult as they may appear.

My success in teaching has been in teaching small groups of math and teaching students one on one. I will always try to teach a math skill so students have multiple ways to come to an answer and they have a complete understanding of what is going on. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee with a degree in Middle Childhood -Early Adolescence Education. I have taught in Milwaukee Public Schools for the last year and a half.

Greetings! I'm Ashley. I'm a full-time Bilingual Family Advocate at one of the leading social service organizations in Milwaukee. My ultimate goal is to be of support to anyone who is struggling academically, so that they can become a success when they go out into the world :)

I believe anyone can be successful in math! There is no such thing as being good at math or bad math. All that anyone needs is a willingness to learn and a good teacher.

I'm a caring, concerned, and focused tutor and coach. I work hard with my students to ensure that they "get it." With a positive attitude and determination, every student will achieve their goals!A little bit about me:I'm a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; receiving a Bachelors in Elementary Education with an English Language emphasis, and a Masters in Non-profit Management and Leadership, with an emphasis on Education. Additionally, I've received coursework for exceptional education (special ed.) and have worked extensively with students with special needs. I've tutored students for a total of 8 years. My favorite subjects to tutor are Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. My ideal students fall between grades 1 through 6. Outside of the academia, I enjoy hobbies such as reading, writing, poetry, dance, art, music, and tennis.

I have a strong commitment in helping each student reach their fullest potential. Over the past 29 years in education, I have worked with students in preschool into adulthood acquire the knowledge and skills they need to achieve their goals and step towards their dreams. I believe with enough support, there is nothing a student cannot learn to master and I look forward to being one of your support systems to help you on your journey.
