I believe that the teacher's most important job is to present material in a way that makes learning fun and interesting. Everyone learns best in different ways, and it is important to remember this when tutoring or teaching. Whereas some learn best with visualizations, others learn by listening. I love finding new and creative ways to present a lesson or concept. I have a passion for teaching and hope to be an educator for the rest of my life.
I have always loved teaching and working with kids. I have volunteered at a number of places that allowed me to exercise my ability to tutor and mentor children ages 5-17. Since high school, I have volunteered at a local preschool. This past summer, I spent time in Honduras teaching English at an orphanage. I have a very concrete understanding of English and Spanish grammar, and I have spent the last four years studying writing at Grand Valle ... read more

I am a native German speaker living in the US for over ten years, I fluently speak, read and write English and German. I worked in the travel department for the US Department of Defense in Stuttgart, Germany. I am currently working as a translator/interpreter. I enjoy translating and switching from one language to another. Because of many cultural aspects, I have the knowledge to explain the differences of both languages and countries to enhance the learning experience and I am certain to be able to assist any student who would like to improve their skills in learning German.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to make the subjects fun for them. For example i bring out cubes, candy, or fruits for math problems so they can visually see the mathamatical problem. If its science I try to make 3D projects so they can better understand, for example the solar system. I try to get there intrest so they can have fun and not be bored and feel like its a waist of time. I know everyone learns in different ways and I understand that because im the same way. Im very patient, and very easy going. My goal is to give them the education they need to succeed in life.
What more better experience then to start at home by helping my little brother and sister. For the past five years I have tutored my brother and sister in many different subjects. I have done math, reading, science,history. Basically all elementary subjects.I am Bilingual and speak both English, and Spanish fluently.

A Little Bit About Me...

My basic belief is that as human beings, we all share the goal of being understood. This may sound rather simple, but it is basic to my philosophy. I work to ensure that each of my students feels understood; whether it's a question that they have, a goal they've set, or a frustration they've experienced. I've found this theory to be very successful in working with elementary children, teenagers, and adults alike. In addition, the enthusiasm I feel toward the process of learning speaks for itself. There is nothing like the light in a student's eyes when the moments of understanding occurs, and when that light goes off, the person will never be the same.
I specialize in language, with instruction in English, Spanish, and French. I have a passion for bringing out the best in each student. I teach ESL to speakers whose primary language is not English, by emphasizing practical speak ... read more

With my counseling background, I desire to work with your student to help build his/her confidence in academics, but also confidence in his/her self. Each student has a unique learning style and I will take a collaborative approach to help them discover what works best for who they are. I see myself as a learning coach for students.
I have recently graduated with an MA in counseling psychology and have come to deeply appreciate academics and the role of education in our lives. As a graduate student, my writing and research skills were sharpened. I have worked as a career counselor for the past 3 years and have led groups and worked with students individually on career issues. While I was in college I was a volunteer tutor with elementary students in reading and writing and some math.

A Little Bit About Me...

As the eldest daughter of a teacher, it was instilled in me from a young age that I should strive to excel in my educational pursuits as well as other endeavors. Thus, I pursued the highest level of education possible, the doctorate, and also have continued to be a lifelong learner in many fields of study. Though my university degrees have been in the field of music, I have gained vast knowledge in many disciplines through my studies, travels and experience. Also, I have gained teacher certification in the field of TeSOL as a result of my interest and proficiency in English language usage and grammar. Through several teaching assistantships and a semester sabbatical replacement, I have gained 5 years of university teaching experience. I have also taught for over 3 years as a music teacher in the public schools, as well as over 6 years as a substitute teacher in all grades and subject ar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter.
As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also cur ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I care deeply about the next generation and wish to impart on them a desire to learn. I have seen a student change from a surly individual to one who participated in class and became more consistent in homework. I believe that respect, encouragement, and care can motivate a child to go beyond his best and succeed not only in school, but also in life. Being a part of the education world is not only a huge responsibility; it is a privilege few attain with the joy I have experienced during the past few years.
Groups are beneficial because there are a variety of opinions, abilities, and skill levels, thus teaching students the importance of unity in the workplace and classroom. Buddies are important because they give students someone other than the teacher to go to with questions that may seem "silly" and give them someone with whom to share concerns. Books and technology can be used t ... read more

In addition to tutoring in my home for fifteen years, I received a Summa Cum Laude for the quality of my Master's Thesis in Creative Writing, and was the only student ever to be asked to serve as the Interim Director of the Cleveland State Writing Center. I have won awards, including the Trawick Grant (a $5000) prize for my writing. I have taught college writing to all levels from Developmental to 400-level Special Topics, including in Literature, and I've also taught many classes to non-native speakers of English. I have tutored Philosophy, English, Music, Art History, Theology, and History. I'm extrememly capable in any of the Humanities courses.
I'm very skills-based in my approach to teaching and employ many learning "tricks" involving mnemonics, flash-cards, student-generated learning materials, as well as being able to help the student learn to integrate what she learns int ... read more

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.

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.
