June N - Benton Harbor, MI 49022 (8.1 mi) - Government Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have had a variety of teaching experiences since graduating from a small teacher’s college with strict requirements. I have taught geography, physical education, piano, keyboarding, and coached high school sports. Hard work and dedication led to success in my coaching career with a runner-up state title in girls’ basketball. I mention this because it shows I have a good rapport with students as I am able to motivate and set goals successfully. I also have taught all subjects in a one-room suburban school, grades 1-8. It experienced such success growing from 19 to 27 students, that we added a second teacher after the first semester. This all demonstrates the wide range of flexibility and experiences I bring to the table. I draw on a variety of teaching experiences that contribute to my success with students. My most recent position was teaching all subjects to grades K-4 in a self

Charles P - South Bend, IN 46628 (15 mi) - Government Tutor - $36.50/hr.
After receiving the Ph.D. from Notre Dame in 1985, I taught at Saint Mary’s College, Purdue University North Central, and Notre Dame, and currently am teaching selected courses – just one each term – for Trine University. I have taught a variety of courses in Sociology, Criminology, Deviant Behavior, Social Psychology, Philosophy, the History of Human Thought, Writing, and American Popular Culture. In addition to my teaching experience, I have co-authored a book, a chapter of a book, several papers, and three e-books. I am well aware of issues in time management, maintaining focus, developing excellence in writing, critical thinking, and problem solving. I usually employ a Socratic style of interaction, seldom answering students’ questions, but rather guiding them to the answer, or at least an answer, through strategic questions designed to clarify their thinking processes and work towa

David R - Kalamazoo, MI 49009 (39.8 mi) - Government Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have a BS in Math with a History minor. I worked about 30 years for Huntington Bank, including 10 years as a main frame computer programmer/manager. I also worked as a senior manager for a national computer outsourcing company and, most recently as an insurance agent, a notary public and the owner/operator of a retail shipping store. I recently relocated to SW Michigan. With the urging of family and friends and a personal desire to be involved in a meaningful activity, I want to resume tutoring students in math. I was a volunteer tutor during my Huntington career. I want to again help students understand, enjoy and excel in their math studies. My teaching style is based on patience, calmness, understanding of a person’s perspective and finding the appropriate method of explanation so that the student understands a principle and can apply it correctly. I firmly believe that every

Marvin R - Kalamazoo, MI 49009 (41.8 mi) - Government Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I love mentoring staff / students. I find it very rewarding when the "light bulbs" start to go off with staff / students with respect to any topic. My style involves getting to know exactly where the individual is at relating to an area of study. I believe the student should be in control of the thought and learning process. I will only interject to challenge and keep the student on the right track. I believe that this style not only promotes learning but also long term retention. My accounting background has included developing accounting systems and policy and procedures for both "start-up" business and complete change required for "turn-around" organizations. My background also includes "big-four" experience as a CPA providing auditing, tax and consulting services for privately held and SEC organizations. Overall, I feel that I have a strong accounting background.

Toby W - Kalamazoo, MI 49009-1801 (43.6 mi) - Government Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I believe that all students have an individualized learning style and I like to find that out first. I make a learning plan based on the student's needs and develop strategies for teaching based on the learning style assessment. I have been a Reading Interventionist for my local school district and left that job to complete my student teaching. I have been tutoring for about 4 years and have working knowledge of helping students with special needs learn.

Randi M - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (44.2 mi) - Government Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I enjoy breaking difficult subjects into more easily-processed steps. I am willing and able to work with students who are disillusioned and frustrated. I strongly believe that anyone can succeed and approach any subject matter. Tutors, teachers, and parents need to look beyond present hurdles and see the ability that resides in all students to succeed and be confident. Once children see their work start to pay off they develop self-esteem and self-esteem enables them to start taking on more and more challenges. This affects their academics as well as other areas of their lives. As a recent graduate of the Comparative Religion MA program at Western Michigan University I am eager to begin a career in the field of academics. I believe that tutoring would be a great way for me to develop my teaching skills and also to share the knowledge that I have had imparted to me from important me

Ryan S - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (44.5 mi) - Government Tutor - $40.50/hr.
As a student at Western Michigan University I was able to achieve a 3.6 Grade point average. With a BS in Exercise Science I am currently on my way to Northwestern in September to study Physical Therapy. I have alot of knowledge in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Anatomy and Physiology, and Psychology. Over the past year and a half I have volunteered my time to help fellow students improve in thier studies and achieve their goals. I have volunteered to help students in Physics, Biology, Anatomy, and Calculus. I enjoy working with young children and high school kids. I believe that it is important to get anyone I teach to be active in the education they are recieving. I believe that by showing a kid how to do something, then having them teach it back to me will help to stimulate them and retain the information. I think that everyone has the potential to become a great stu

Emma L - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (45.6 mi) - Government Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I really enjoy working with children in various subjects and activities. I believe all children have a different way of learning and can all find a way that best suites them. My teaching style is based on how the student learns best and what their interests are. I like to incorporate my excitement to teach because students tend to be more interested in learning when you are interested in who they are. I really stress hard work and fun into my lessons so that students will not only learn a lot, but remember it as well. As a civil engineering graduate, I spent a lot of time working with mathematics and achieving a higher level of education. I have always enjoyed working with kids especially in mathematics and athletic activities. I have tutored many college students as well as younger students in various subjects including math, English, biology, physics, and graphic design.

mark s - plainwell, MI 49080 (50.1 mi) - Government Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have a BS in chemical engineering. I have 13 years of applying engineering and project management principles in the automotive plastics industry. A key to my success is influencing people by explaining "why" and "how" something should be done to develop partnerships leading to increased cooperation and advocacy. In my career in automotive plastics, I coached or taught manufacturing principles to improve quality and efficiency. My demonstrated success is due in part to my efforts to educate and coach operators, engineers and managers to understand the basic principles of chemistry, math and engineering to buy into a logical course of action.
I have also greatly enjoyed my voluntary participation as a youth football coach. I have coached 8-12 year olds the last 5 years. It is very fulfilling to demonstrate and coach new skills to children to develop an organized team.
