...Earth sciences! I am fascinated by how the Earth works, and how other sciences such as biology, ecology, chemistry, hydrology and even planetary geology help us understand the planet we live on. I also have extensive knowledge of the extraction and distribution of natural resources, and how that affects populations, cultures, and politics. I have seen geology up close in 40+ states and 10+ countries. I am accomplished at technical and business writing, and public...

Every student has their own set of skills and intelligences. Success in school, however, requires more than book smarts. You need insight into how teachers grade, strategies for how to attack assignments, and a plan for a success. With my years of experience in education and academia, I am the perfect choice to help you unlock those secrets and your full potential.

For me teaching is a way to give back to the community and inspire minds of every age. There is so much taught differently than when I was in school and I would love nothing more than to learn right alongside my students!

...teach them important executive functioning and study skills to help them succeed in college. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to form empathic and intentional connections with my students. By learning more about their educational backgrounds and understanding their goals, I become a better mentor who will more effectively guide them through their studies. When I am not tutoring, I like to hike, kayak, read, write, and research my family's history.

I believe in serving as a learning coach. The process of learning requires the student to not only explore new content, but also identify their own learning style - and how to use it to their advantage! I aim to facilitate well-rounded learning experiences that help move the student towards independent learning and future success!

...the information in your terms of understanding and set you up to make the connections. My favorite is when students have "ah-ha" moments, when the "light bulb goes off in their head." I believe all students learn differently and I design my instructional strategy to fit how you learn. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my expertise is in Geography, History and ESL. I have been in the "game of school" for a...

...wanted to be a teacher. From working one-on-one with students on craft projects, to tutoring multiple students at once with a wide range of subjects. My education at a Project-Based Learning charter school from ages 9-18 has bestowed me with strong research and problem-solving skills, and makes me an excellent fast learner that can teach others effectively as I go. Currently, I am in my freshman year at the University of Minnesota, pursuing double majors...

...the sciences! I thrive on expert study guides, flashcards, or the effort behind exploring the perfect learning processes needed to excel in a course. Whether helping a student memorize and comprehend over 100 vocabulary terms in a day or supporting them as they craft a 40-page Term Paper over an entire semester, I will approach every session with the same level of patience, flexibility, and attention to detail required. Every student has unique interests or...

...first 18 years in Cameroon. We lived in a region that uses French as its official language. As a result I became fluent in both French and English during those years. We lived among other English-speaking families, but I did spend time interacting with other children and adults who spoke languages local to the area. French was the language we used for conversation. Since those early years of my life, I unfortunately have been out...

I am a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in political science. I also have an extensive background in writing, editing, and journalism. The intersection of journalism and politics is where I particularly thrive, but I'll be happy to help with anything ranging from basic civics and government, to editing essays, to helping students understand collegiate-level political science. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, kayaking, making electronic music, and gaming.

Although I have taught at the university level in the United States for more than 20 years, I have successfully tutored students in...

...a focus on secondary education from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I specialize in tutoring middle school, high school, and college-aged students in life science subjects. I believe science is an important tool for understanding the world around us and stimulates intrinsically motivated learning. While memorizing facts can improve grades, giving students the tools and motivation to learn for themselves will bring exponential self-improvement in and out of the classroom. I have several...

...having a great tutor can make such a difference in someone's life. Education is so important and having a tutor there to assist you in all your learning goals can make such a difference for a scholar. Outside of tutoring, I love to play soccer, run, play cricket, cook and learn about urban history. I make our tutoring sessions personal and fun to make sure that the scholar is interested in learning and, more importantly,...

...what my expectations are and how to meet them. As a teacher, it would be unfair to ask those I am teaching to do activities or meet requirements that I myself am unwilling or unable to meet. Secondly, creating an atmosphere that is professional and stays true to the teacher/student relationship that will be cultivated will be important, but so will creating a relationship based on trust and respect. At the end of the day...

While learning,...

My goal is to make whatever we are working on approachable and easy to understand. I will always try to...
