I have had extensive experience handling and managing children and adults in a learning environment. During my time at Lahser High School, I tutored students ages 7-15 in subjects such as elementary math, history, pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II and geometry. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I began tutoring foreign exchange students from China in English language skills. I have had extensive experience studying Chinese language and have obtained a high degree of fluency in Mandarin Chinese. I have studied and worked in China and understand not only the language, culture and business world, but also understand the type of work, dedication and teaching it takes for a foreigner to obtain Chinese language skills. I have taken classes on law, economics and international politics in Mandarin Chinese and have worked in Chinese law firms and businesses where the offi ... read more

Guitar is one of my top subjects! Experience teaching guitar for 8+ years. All levels welcome!

Hello! My name is Evan Levine and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in music performance at the University of Michigan. Originally from New Jersey, I have been teaching students between the ages of 6-18 for over 8 years in both private and group settings. I have taught a range of music styles, including; Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country and Classical music. I am also proficient in Music Theory and Music History and would be able to supplement that with instrument instruction.
I believe that learning repertoire that the student is interested in is the fastest way to develop a passion for music. Positive encouragement is key, and I believe the teachers' job is to guide their students in what they want to do. Developing technical proficiency and understanding the emotions and intent of the music is the foundation of my teaching style.

Guitar is one of my top subjects! I have extensive studies in classical and jazz guitar, as well as musical composition. I performed professionally on guitar, keyboards, and electric bass. I also have an MM degree in music.

When working with students one-on-one, I try to find out exactly where the next step needed for the student to progress would be, and then work to achieve an understanding of the foundational material that needs to be understood and applied to achieve success, and then move on from there.
As a Spanish teacher, I have an MA in Spanish, and have worked as a Spanish teacher at both the secondary and post-secondary levels. I have additionally worked as a Spanish translator and interpreter in the legal, academic, and medical areas. I know the value of knowing more than one language, as I have traveled in many different parts of the world, and have personally experienced the benefits of being able to communicate with people in their own language when travelling.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would usually look the paper over and point out problems with grammar and spelling and tell the student why they weren't working. I believe in the mantra "show, don't tell" when it comes to teaching. I'm pretty laid back and willing to work at whatever pace the student is comfortable with. I don't move on until I feel both of us are on the same page. I think the history of the English language has a lot of really interesting trivia.
I tutored with the Writing Fellows every Thursday at Schoolcraft College when I was working towards my Associate's in Liberal Arts. I helped students write and edit their papers. The primary focus was English but there were a few Social Studies/History students thrown in there. I graduated in April 2009 from Eastern Michigan University with my Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Media and Film with a Minor in Creative Writing.

More About This Tutor...

I am currently a writing tutor and learning coordinator at the University of Michigan. I help to insure that student athletes receive a fair education while they are on scholarship. I tutor them on a weekly basis in most subjects but I focus primarily on writing and English. I am a very effective writing tutor both for grammar checking, composition, and essay writing. I have a BA in business management from Michigan State University, so I am very proficient in Econ, Math, computer skills and most business oriented courses. I also teach private guitar lessons at a music academy in Plymouth and I have studied, written, recorded, produced and performed music most of my life so that is another area I can be of great help.
I love teaching and working with people of any age that I can help both academically and otherwise. I love the one on one relationship that is developed through ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Patience and flexibility are the keys. You can't explain a concept the same way to each student and expect each one will understand. Some students need extra time to grasp the material so it's important not to progress unless there's certainty of complete comprhension. Encouragement is also necessary which will build their confidence, and a confident student is a better one.
My BS in Civil Engineering provided me with an extensive education of advanced Mathematics such as Calculus, Dynamics, Physics, and Statics. I worked for 10 years in the field which included design of subdivisions, site condominiums, and other developments. Correspondence between review engineers on projects required proper writing and grammatical skills. Since October of 2009,I have worked part-time for a Metro Detroit tutoring agency. Subjects include Math, Science, English, and ACT test preparation.

A Little Bit About Me...

I currently teach Adult Education; High School Completion with Detroit Public Schools from 08/2508-present. I relocated to West Palm Beach, Fl. from Southfield, Michigan back in July 2004 and taught 6-7th grade Language Arts/Intensive Reading at both Lake Shore Middle and Palm Beach Central High for Palm Beach County Schools from August 2004-June 2007. I feel that working with disadvatnage students has helped me in becoming an even better and more efficient educator because of my emphatetic nature and drive to see all my students' successful both in and out of the classroom.
I feel that I have much aptitude and empathy for students’ successful endeavors in the classroom and I will do my part in making sure that my lessons will be integrated, promote creative thinking, and help the students develop decision- making skills. Social interaction will be used because it is an important ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Fifteen years corporate training experience. Continue to tutor three sons through school and college, currently unemployed working part time as adjunct faculty at Macomb College teaching courses in business applications. I also teach music, voice and guitar at my church, mentor younger musicians and help them develop into quality players and performers.
I've always enjoyed the art of communicating complicated material to those who are just learing or don't quite "get it". My focus is to break things down into basic elements and achieve agreement. Then, support learning with repetition. For example: "Would you agree that if we add 5 and 5 and then another 5 that we would end up at 15?" "So, then, 5 added together three times equals 15, right?" I'm also a big fan of mindmapping for education, so I tend to use it when I lecture at college, and I encourage my students to use it as ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My approach begins with a clearly mapped out plan of study for the term of the course. The course syllabus, dictionary of examples, and external references must be thoughtfully constructed and easy to follow. This provides the student with two things: a clear map by which to gain familiarity with upcoming material as the course progresses and an initial level of comfort in the ability of the instructor. A constant emphasis on the development of time management and study skills is also important. Students undertake courses having acquired a unique set of educational experiences; constructively extending this experience through study skills instruction allows each student to enhance their capacity to learn as a whole.
As an undergrad, I worked as a tutor in mathematics, which gave me great experience in dealing with varied learning styles. This experience strongly informed my approac ... read more

My pedagogical style adjusts itself according to the needs of the student. I am typically patient, and considerate, yet I can be firm if I need to be. No one person learns the same way, and my goal is to provide the best possible education, customized for a student's needs. I believe in a hands on approach, and my goal is to guide the student to his or her own discoveries, which I believe makes a stronger impression than simple memorization can offer. I believe strongly that education is the single most important gift that you can give yourself, and my constructive approach reflects this belief.
While earning my BA from Oakland University, I would often tutor my fellow students and help them refine their papers. In addition to the sharp grammar skills required by my major, the numerous papers that I wrote have given me a broad general knowledge base which expands beyond the pu ... read more
