Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brown City, MI

I have a deep passion for learning, and it's always my goal not only to help students learn skills but to find their inner motivation too. I currently work as a substitute teacher, and I appreciate the chance I have to see the best of what teachers and paraprofessionals are using in the classroom and how they help their students. I have much experience students of all ages with their homework and projects as a nanny, babysitter, and older sister of four. I was also a certified therapeutic riding instructor, so I taught individuals with disabilities to ride horses. I was a top student myself, and I have a B.A. in English with a minor in history. I attended graduate school for writing and editing. I currently work for an equestrian travel television show, writing and editing quality articles for the website. I believe that learning is so much better and more effective when you enjoy the

Tutored students as a part of an after school program with inner-city, Washington High School. Assisted the struggling students with brainstorming paper topics, clearly communicating ideas, general textbook use, critical thinking, future goal making. I also made a point to get to the students as people not projects. Throughout college I regularly worked with Spanish speaking students to develop clear papers on a variety of subjects. I also helped them edit for proper grammar and sentence structure.

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. 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.

I have about five years experience in tutoring elementary and high school kids. I love working through math problems with students. I love seeing lightbulbs turn on in brains. I believe learning is fun and education should be celebrated. Education gives us opportunities. I graduated from UC Berkeley. There, I was encouraged to think and understand others' points of view. I strive to impart that same idea to my students.

I have four years of experience tutoring students K-12 in English, Science, Writing, Religion, Reading, Psychology, and beyond. In addition, I have two years of experience helping high school and college level students in test preparation and professional writing skills, in which I teach essential aspects of writing a professional style paper and teaching students the necessary strategies and skills to prepare them for anything from an English test to a Graduate Placement Exam. I believe that every individual has gifts, talents, and learning styles unique to them, so I challenge and motivate my students to meet their highest potential as independent thinkers. I have found this to be the most effective method for students in learning the subject best, being engaged in sessions, and gaining the confidence to solve tough problems and tackle challenging assignments on their own.

I have recently graduated from the University of Michigan-Flint with a Bachelor of Science and teacher certification degree. I student taught during the fall '09 semester. Student teaching provided many opportunities to work on various teaching techniques. The student teaching semester consisted of; leading the class in discussion on a daily basis, creating worksheets, conducting lab experiments and other activities, grading homework and tests, and much more. I created and taught four lessons during the observation semester. I have also been involved in teaching and tutoring a college chemistry class under the supervision of a college professor. I use a variety of teaching styles while instructing students. Alternating between styles helps to keep minds engaged and participation at a maximum. When covering content I use many examples that relate to real life, that way students can rel

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 purely l

My goal is to set high expectations for all students. In doing so, I must also be attuned to the differentiated learning skills and styles of students. Some can complete a task with minimal instruction and others need more scaffolding. I try to do this in my writing classes by offering one-on-one tutorials with my students. In British Literature, I alternate performance and recitation exercises with formal essays and tests to vary the assessments. I strive to give all students the opportunity to succeed. As a lifelong, award-winning journalist with writing expertise, I bring a wealth of experience to the teaching profession. I am completing my first year of teaching English at Southfield Christian School. My classes are British Literature, Creative Writing and Persuasive Writing -- all challenging, upper level classes.

My approach to tutoring is to make learning fun and exciting for students. I have to learn what they find interesting and apply it to my lessons and style. Not every student likes the same things, or learns the same way. I am a huge advocate of Howard Gardener and his Multiple Intelligence Theories. Using different techniques and new, fresh ideas will maintain the student’s interest. Learning by rote instructions and memorization does work, but there are other tactics and styles that I incorporate in tutoring. I believe that every single child has the ability to learn and be proud and confident of their abilities, but it is up to me to bring out the best in that child, so not only I can see it, but they can too! I have always enjoyed helping others. I've taught in several classrooms and have tremendously enjoyed my experience. I learned that some students needed more time with me

I have always been dedicated to academics and to communicating knowledge to others. Having earned both a BA in History and English and an MA in History, I have worked as a teacher since obtaining my Secondary Education Teaching Certificate from Eastern Michigan University in 2008. In addition to teaching English at the high school level, which has provided me with valuable strategies for communicating, motivating and engaging learners of all types, I have also worked as a tutor in subjects ranging from English Language Arts and History to French and Math. My experiences learning, teaching and tutoring over the past seven years have honed my abilities to work effectively with individual students. I am a student advocate and a life-long learner, and I pride myself on modeling democratic values. I believe in collaborative discovery, allowing students to move at their own pace as I contin

Dr. Segal taught us that traditional teaching methods are outmoded. Therefore I came to my own conclusion that as a teacher I would allow my students to confront me on their terms and make the learning experience as relaxed as possible. Students won't learn anything if A) the environment is unsuited to them and B) if you jump down their throat over every little thing. The important question to ask them is "why?" or "what do you think?" In regards to myself teaching is an avenue that I am considering and thus a bit of real tutoring would give me a taste of how I should go about teaching in the future. To be honest I have no experience in teaching outside of the college setting. The two years marked denotes my two years in upper division English classes at SVSU where student critiquing was the norm. Beyond helping my friends with their papers I took several classes on teaching and as
