I am committed to your success

My teaching style is adapted to your needs, the topic, and how you learn, so that you can integrate what you are learning at least long enough to pass the class
I have a unique educational background in wanting to be educated but obtaining a degree along the way. My classroom experience is board covering many disciplines and how they connect and overlap. Hence the desire to be educated, to be able to think, reason, wonder, explore ongoingly through out my life drives me still after all these years. My appetite for learning only seems to increase as I age. I also have a broad range of work experience that is integrated into my academic experience.

I create a positive atmosphere and help students to be responsible first to themselves and then to their community. I also try to make my students aware of their potiential and guide them in processing information by first understanding the context in which it is used. Then I like to use visuals in my teaching style. I prefer to start with testing of some kind to assess the developmental level of the student.
My teaching experience began with my work with troubled youth in Michigan. I worked with the Fine Arts Team using the arts to teach visually. I also used positive Peer Culture for helping students to deal with their problems. I slso taught history at the school. I have 8 years experience; I worked for WSI teacher staffing for 3 yrs. and 5 yrs. for the Battle Creek School System in grades K-12 in most subjects

As a teacher I believe it is my job to facilitate student learning by providing access to information through various sources, address different learning styles, use a variety of teaching strategies, and provide the time for students to develop the skills and knowledge essential for learning to occur. A variety of lesson plans, instructional materials, and teaching strategies are essential for today’s classrooms. Each student is a unique individual with numerous strengths and the potential for wonderful things. As an educator I believe it is essential that I use a student’s strengths to enhance their classroom performance and maximize their potential.
I have been at Pennfield High School for almost 6 months now and I have learned how to incorporate the new standards into the curriculum. I am currently teaching part time in the Mathematics department, teaching the subjects of Geo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a current student at Central Michigan, I continue to strive for the best education I can possibly achieve. I have clepped out or aced all english classes at the college level and have found a great interest in writing and reading papers and essays. I am extremely familiar with both APA and MLA writing styles and have had numerous hours and years of practice writing papers and essays for my college level courses. I received a 1 on my MEAP writing and a 30 on my ACT writing/English section.
Al though I have never technically tutored or taught a child writing, I am interested in helping aid a child's learning experience. I am extremely personable and social, and would get along great with any child. I am patient, understanding and eager to provide my extensive knowledge of writing to those that need help.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent the better part of my life either in school or teaching in one form or another. I highly value both the process of learning and of passing on my knowledge. I have intend to make this my life's work and as such have almost always held teaching positions. I tutored fellow students while an undergraduate and after graduation I taught autistic students in math, reading, art, speech therapy and physical education for 5 years. Then, as a graduate student I taught Human Anatomy to undergraduates. Though my own education is in psychology and biology my years of education have provided me with a broad base in the arts, history and literature/writing as well.
I believe that teaching styles need to be flexible to the student. I have worked with a very wide variety of students, from the severely limited autistic youth to the highly gifted medical student. While approach and focus ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As you can see from my experience, working with children has long been a passion of mine, and is ultimately my career goal. I thrive on discovering the individual learning styles of children, and learning how best to communicate with them in order to help them reach their full potential. I am calm, patient, compassionate and most of all dedicated.
I am British born and educated, and discovered my passion for teaching in Vietnam when I taught English as a second language to children aged from 4-12. Since then, I have graduated with an Honors degree in History, and worked with several child-centered programs. I am currently working for Active:Water in Kalamazoo where part of my role involves educating children about the water crisis, I am also interning for the Humane Society in their Educational Programing department. In the past I have worked for Girls on the Run International, Sam ... read more

As an Art Educator I enjoy exploring different creative processes with children. I am able to teach art in its most rudimentary forms and teach with a very technical approach. I understand each child is different and I am able to accommodate for such diversity. I am enthusiastic and love teaching children and teens how fun making art can be.
As a graduate of the Gwen Frostic School of Art at Western Michigan University, I was given the opportunity to create art in a recently built, state of the art facility. I started college straight out of High School in 2005 and completed my degree in just over four years. I was awarded the Art Star award for the painting program, I also received a scholarship from the school for the advancement of photography and painting. In the summer of 2009 I taught summer camps at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts teaching kindergarten through middle school.
