Viewing credentialed tutors from Valparaiso University

...ages of 4 and 92 from all over the world. Along the way I have also benefited from knowing and having been taught by many great teachers. One of the most lasting lessons I have taken away from them is the importance of a good rapport between teacher and student to the learning process. Through...

...I really enjoyed helping people understand something they were struggling with. Thats why I hope to tutor as many students as I can handle. The thing I enjoy most about teaching is the opportunity to help students learn. I enjoy knowledge, both the receiving and the giving thereof, and Im looking forward to being able...

...relocating to Ohio this November. I taught in a fairly large public school English 9 and Composition, helping students with literature, writing, grammar, and speaking/listening skills. I designed and implemented writing assignments for my students, providing assistance throughout the entire process. I'm very familiar with To Kill a Mockingbird and Romeo & Juliet, along with...

...I have taught Geometry, Algebra I, and ESL. My teaching style for students of this age is to provide plenty of opportunity for in-class practice and feedback -- which came both from me and other students. Since students learn via a variety of styles (kinesthetic, visual, auditory), I always tried to incorporate all three elements...

...when a student solves that difficult integral. When tutoring, my approach is to work with the student to first understand the problem and then to logically think through the process of solving it, thereby more fully learning the material. I am a big fan of drawing graphs and figures to understand a problem. In addition...

...other students to grow and succeed. I believe that knowledge is power, and learning to overcome obstacles is one of the most valuable skills in life. Learning and knowledge go far beyond the classroom, and I believe that good collaboration, communication, and application are key to making students feel excited to learn.... No student is unteachable, and not all students learn the same way. Finding what works for each individual student is key to overcoming any difficulties grasping the material.

I received my Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. Which means I have spend my entire time in college studying and doing math problems disguised as engineering problems. I have taught as a part time instructor at Valparaiso University...... As a teacher, I believe the most important thing is for you to learn how to do something in a way that makes sense to you. Understand how to approach a problem and break it down into easily understandable steps.

...of students from multiple backgrounds and ages. I love connecting with my students and making the courses and materials they are studying come alive to them! My favorite subjects to teach are writing courses, literature courses, and ESL courses. I'm looking forward to being a part of your learning journey, and helping in any way...
