Hello! I am a licensed high school teacher from one of Minnesota's public school districts. I have taught social studies, mathematics and writing. I am experienced in working one on one with students as a special education teacher. I enjoy working with student's who struggle with academics and also with those who excel and are looking for new challenges. I tailor my tutoring styles to the particular needs each student and subject area; for example, with mathematics, I often will focus on strengthening foundation skills and mental math. I believe in helping students gain lifelong skills and knowledge in concert with specific course work and exam preparation. I love to inspire curiosity in students, to not only make them ask questions but want to find the answer on their own.

I have tutored through the St. Paul School District, at the Redwing Correctional Facility, and privately.

Algebra 1

Algebra I involves the basic understanding of algebra including solving for one unknown variable either with multiplication/division or addition/subtraction. It also includes graphing of equations, and understanding mean, median, and mode. When teaching Algebra I, I stress mental mathematics but also recommend a graphing calculator and graph paper. I use straight math practice problems for basic understanding of each concept, but will quickly progress each student to mostly solving word problems... Read More

American History

American History, like any form of history, is one that requires a twofold understanding. First the content of history is important to know, especially events and individuals relative location to each other. It is important to know that the Missouri Compromise happened before the Civil War, not the reverse. Beyond the surface level of content knowledge though, there is a more fluid knowledge that needs to be developed, one in which the student learns "why" things are connected. Often students...

Writing

Writing is an art form more than it is a science. I have experience in writing for a wide variety of subject matters. Be it for English, History, Science, or just daily writing skills, I have had experience tutoring students as well as teaching in the Middle and High School levels. I believe in nurturing the individual voice of any given writer, while simultaneously refining the mechanical structure of your work.

Study Skills

While teaching at a level 4 FED setting for Emotionally/Behaviorally Disabled High School students, I taught two specific classes regarding study and other school related skills. These students lacked any real study skills or understanding on how to properly budget time and organize materials. This was done with the intent to prepare them to entire Vocational Training or Community College programs. Areas of focus were in teaching time management, how to break large tasks into smaller pieces, how... Read More

Special Needs

Taught in Federal Level 3/4 Settings for 1 year. This is a setting that deals with kids who have some of the most severe disabilities. They are in a separate facility and rarely interact with their non-Special Education peers. I taught for one year in this setting. All of my students had multiple moderate to severe disabilities in areas such as Oppositional Defiance, Conduct Disorder, Low IQ (<70), Specific Learning Disabilities, ADHD, severe anxiety, depression, Dyslexia, and other disabilities...

ADD/ADHD

I taught in Federal Level 3/4 Settings for 1 year. The main focus of the settings was EBD, where most of the students had numerous disabilities, including ADHD. I received a variance in addition my regular teaching license and I also had passed the State exam for Special Education (Specific Learning Disabilities and Emotional Behavioral Disabilities), which included ADHD.

Social Studies

I have a Minnesota Teaching License in Social Studies 5-12 as well as a BA in History/Social Science. I performed a Student teaching experience as a Social Studies teacher in a high school. I taught social studies at the Middle School level for Saint Paul Public Schools.
