Dorsy

Conversational German Tutor • +39 Subjects

How could you say your own language is the most beautiful of all if you cannot compare it?Learning a foreign language and getting to know an entirely new culture always fascinated me and it has also made me a more open minded person. I studied French in Paris while teaching German. I have a degree in romance languages, linguistics and art history from the University of Heidelberg. I took a detour from the academic world by exploring the language of media, marketing and public relations in the Black Forest and Bavaria. In Los Angeles I was immersed in the unique tongue of the entertainment industry. I continued teaching German and, along the way, became a Certified Life Coach. This has allowed me to connect to the language of peoples souls. In the beautiful mountains of New Mexico I became a writer and published a book in Germany. Everyone has different reasons for learning a language. Of course it is not easy. It takes time and effort but it is well worth it. I would enjoy introducing you to the German culture, as well as the language, in order to make your learning experience fun, effective and most importantly, successful.

Algebra Tutor • +9 Subjects

Ater recently graduating with a B.S. in Astrophysics and minor in Mathematics, it seems fair to say that I've spent quite a lot of time learning. However, just like you, my journey of learning, is far from complete. Currently, I am continuing to build my knowledge through my pursuit of a master's degree in Medical Physics. Additionally, I work as a researcher in Human MRI studies in which I help to solve problems using computer science applications. With a genuine interest in these areas, I truly enjoy my role as a tutor and I'm dedicated to being versatile in order to effectively help in building a better understanding and positive learning experience for students.My passions for physics, mathematics and, of course, space have been the driving force in my academic and professional careers, but with tough subjects like these, I understand that the process of learning this material can be very challenging. Through my own experience, I have seen just how much goes into learning, like the amounts of time, dedication and practice, as well as the factors that can foster success such as having a good teacher. Additionally, through tutoring peers, I know that everyone learns differently and at varying paces.With this being said, sometimes, not only the subject matter, but all of the other many factors that affect your learning can seem overwhelming. However, I hope you can now breathe a sigh of relief because we are in this together! With any bumps you may experience on the road to your eventual mastery, I will be committed to assisting you through those times in ways that consider your unique needs and goals.I would be honored to accompany and support you through your intellectual pursuits and now that you know a little bit about me, I can't wait to learn more about you.

Art Tutor • +24 Subjects

I love working with children. This passion began when my siblings and I would "play school" with our green Disney chalkboard. We would take turns being the "teacher", and I delighted in the feel of chalk in my hands.Upon graduating from New Mexico State University with a degree in elementary education, I became a fifth grade teacher with Las Cruces Public Schools. Again, I enjoyed the powdery feel of chalk in my hands, but this time, I wasn't playing. I took my responsibilities very seriously and with great joy.As life took me to other school districts and different grade levels, time replaced chalk with dry erase markers and district-developed instructional goals with common core standards. However, my love of working with elementary-age children has never been superseded.In reflecting on those years, I bring these research-based practices to the tutoring platform:--Parents are a child's first and most important teacher; communication with parents is vital to a successful elementary tutoring plan,--Working towards mastery in mathematics leads towards a student's confidence and independence in mathematics,--Incorporating a child's interests into the curriculum is more likely to help students develop proficiency than one that does not,--Instruction in handwriting should remain in the curriculum due to its association with fine/gross motor development, gains in reading and writing, and memory benefits,--Developmental ages and stages must be taken into account when planning and carrying out a tutoring session. For example, an off-task student may need a "wiggle break" or review of how to carry out an assignment before they can return to task,--Shaming is never an acceptable form of discipline. Teacher preparedness and pacing of instructional delivery have a huge impact on student behavior,--Horse, then cart: Establishing a student's base of information must precede hands-on mathematics and science for maximum retention of concepts, and--Training in HOW to test is likely to result in a reduction of test anxiety and higher test scores.

10th Grade Tutor • +70 Subjects

My fascination with human behavior, motivations behind human actions, and governmental actions has existed for most of my life, to determine of cause of this I would accredit it to the War on Drugs and my volunteer work with the general public. I am truly astonished by the level marginalization that many people in our country experience on a daily basis. It has been an emotive and enriching experience to study and engage with individuals outside of typical social norms. There have been a number of factors I have identified that lead to the realm of addiction; individual experience such as a breakdown in relationships, immigration, decline of mental or physical health, employment and more often a combination of all of the above: but also group experience which includes the feeling of acceptance, belonging, and a fear of being alone or rejectedwhich ends up happening due to the way in which we present addiction to the general public. I was adamant from then on to continue to try to make a difference in this world, to raiseawareness of, and support those who are marginalized, discriminated against, stigmatized and misunderstood. My Anthropology degree has developed my understanding of people culturally through ethnographic research and natural observation. Alongside my History degree, which allows me to understand the evolution of addiction and marginalizationas well as to fully grasp why it is that governments aim to systematically marginalize specific people.As a tutor, aide, and friend it is my mission to help individuals gain their own understandings of material and relate it to everyday life. By doing this I aim to help people think more critically of information being presented and therefore allow them to master material without even realizing that is what they are doing. Therefore, I am helping individuals not only learn material for the 'right now' but also gain the ability to apply that material in 'real-life' for the 'later'.
