Elementary Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Deford, MI

I believe that learning is so much better and more effective when you enjoy the process. Just as I put context into every article I write, I strive to help students see where these facts came from and how this knowledge they're gaining fits into the world around us.

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.

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 such have academic experience, but not real world (ie K-12) experience. I have been in several writing workshops that cover a variety of English facets from research writing to creative writing to poetry. This spanned the second two years of my college career. I have also written stories of my own and had them critiqued by teachers and students, so I know firsthand what frustrations can result.

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 experie
