PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Berkley, MI

My experience as a newspaper editor helped me to develop a collaborative teaching style. I want to work with students to understand their questions and help them work through them and arrive at the conclusions on their own. I have a non-intimidating teaching style and want my students to walk away from the sessions not only understanding the answers to their questions, but also be able to apply that knowledge in future situations. Three years of experience in writing and editing as a staff member at the Grand Valley Lanthorn, a student-run newspaper at GVSU. I began as an intern and held various writing and editing jobs throughout my tenure, ultimately departing as editor in chief. My writing has been recognized on the national and statewide level by the American Collegiate Press and the Michigan Press Association. I recently graduated with a B.A. in journalism.

I have taught physical science and life science in New York public high schools since 1996. I have taught at Brooklyn Tech and Midwood H.S., two of the leading high schools for physical science in the state. Many of my students have been accepted into leading colleges and universities across the country. I have received excellent training and evaluations from my supervisors, who have taught me to use non-traditional as well as traditional methods of instruction and assessment, such as collaborative learning and portfolio assessment. In order to help finance my graduate education, I have tutored students in N.Y.C. from a very wide range of ethnic and ability levels privately for more than ten years in writing, science, English, and history. All students can learn, but they have different learning styles. Identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses is a key step in the learning pro

I dealt directly with children and families from disenfranchised populations, demographically diverse populations, and special needs populations. What I value most is having the opportunity to work with adults and children simultaneously. This gave me a broad over-standing of how to approach very challenging situations. In addition, what I have found to be an effective tool when working with academically challenged youth is having patience, and showing unconditional positive self-regaurd. My resume highlights my ability, knowledge, and expertise in individual and group therapy at a master level in the field of social work. During my time at Eastern Michigan University, I was able to advance my skill set and knowledge-base by being in a supervisory role. As I matriculated, I learned how to multi-task as I was a graduate student and an employee for EMU. In my role I tutored and advised col

I have been teaching for close to fifteen years now, and have had a great deal of experience in working with students from Kindergarten all the up to adult education. This has enabled me to become an extremely well-rounded, adaptable, and flexible educator who is able to wear many hats whenever necessary. I have taught most subject areas and tutored students for SAT/ACT college entrance exams, math, writing, english, Spanish, etc... I believe in empowering our students whenever possible. By this I mean allowing the students to be in charge and have control over their own learning by giving students options. I like working with students in small groups, where I mix their levels of ability thus allowing then to learn not only from me, but from each other as well!

My teaching style can be best described as “student centered.” I enjoy the challenge of determining the needs of the individual student and using my skills and experience as an educator to focus on those needs in a way that helps the student learn most effectively. My students find me both personable and approachable, which are two qualities that have helped me to be highly successful at one-on-one student interaction in the past. I have worked as a high school Language Arts teacher for the past 18 years. I have taught a variety of literature, composition, and public speaking courses. I have experience teaching students in all high school grades (grades 9-12). I also have extensive experience working with high school aged students in various capacities outside the classroom, such as coaching, club sponsor, class sponsor, and driver education teacher. I also have conducted writing w

I build a relationship of trust with the students and offer positive reinforcement and use humor to engage all of them. My initial goal is to engage the students then move on to teaching with the final goal being the understanding of the subject in a way that is deeper then just memorization. I want the students to understand why cats see well in the dark instead of just knowing that they do. My specialty is English Literature but I enjoy teaching science and math. I have privately tutored students that recently arrived from Japan in English with a focus on conversation to enable them to quickly feel comfortable in a new country. As they attained conversation skills I changed my focus to education based teaching with a focus on understanding the classroom teacher and being able to participate in the classroom discussion.

I graduated from Michigan Technological University in December 2010 where I earned a BS in Mathematical Sciences. I have learned much about the nature of math and how students learn it. I am in process of receiving my teaching certification from the State of Michigan. For the last 4 years, I tutored college students in math. The past two years I tutored middle school students in science and math. I recently finished my student teaching in a middle school classroom. I love helping and working with learners of all ages. I believe that everyone has something to learn and that it is a continuous process. I am patient, goal-driven, and understanding. My goal is to help you master the concepts. I want you to be able to discover a concept or big idea for yourself and then expand on that so you can explain it to me multiple ways. I believe that all students and children can reach their

As a recent college graduate, the stress, confusion, and (ultimately) joy involved in the attempt to master new subjects are fresh in my memory. While nothing can replace experience, I believe that being young provides me with an edge over those older than me when it comes to connecting with students. I have tutored a wide range of students, ranging from an at-risk 5th grader to high school algebra students, to college sophomores. While the subject matter and level of sophistication certainly varies between students, the approach is generally the same. By maintaining a professional and caring attitude with my students, and giving them that little push when they need it, anyone is able to succeed academically. I think the best way to teach is to show students how they can break down problems and find answers to questions that may, at first glance, seem overwhelming. I have yet to mee

I enjoy tutoring students of all grade levels. One of the most rewarding opportunities I had was to hold a position as a Boy Scout Leader and also my position as a High School Math and English tutor. I believe in teaching techniques that focus on what type of learner the student is. I adjust my teaching style according to what is necessary to help each particular student grasp ideas and concepts according to what works best for that student. I find it extremly rewarding to see a student reach a confidence level that shows they have mastered a topic that I have worked with them on. I worked as a Math and English Tutor through the after school No Child Left Behind program. I was responsible for reporting to the lead teacher, reporting to parents, generating study materials and lesson plans to help under achieving students develop skills to improve school grades.
