Award-winning writer and editor ready to tutor you!

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I know that much of my success has been a result of learning from great dynamic teachers who really cared about me as a student and as a person. I believe that teaching is done best by adapting to the student, finding common ground, and then relating that connection to the topic in question. I would love to help your student find these connections and learn to be enjoy the process of education and achievement.
I have a BA in History from UM, which, of course, entailed not just learning and researching history, but also tremendous amounts of writing papers on a myriad of topics. I am currently a law student at Wayne State, and so am also well versed in legal and social issues, as well as, once again, lots of writing and grammar. I also have a background teaching and tutoring 100's of students how to prepare for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every child can succeed in education. It is just a matter of finding the correct learning style for that person. This is based on my experience in education over the past 30 years. I have taught in colleges, corporations and K-12. In each of these arenas, I have found that knowing the student and the way they learn is probably the most important aspect of imparting knowledge. Therefore, my teaching style would vary considerably depending on the learning style of the person. I am patient and creative with a love of life-long learning. It is my goal in education to impart on students that love of learning.
I am a life long learner and interested in several different areas of study. During my BS degree, I majored in Biology and minored in mathematics and earned a teaching certificate. Then I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree. I developed and taught a “Bu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a degree in History from the University of Michigan and I have earned my teaching certificate and Master's degree from Wayne State University. I have taught high school for seven years and have taught numerous Science, Math and Social Studies courses. I have taught writing classes as well. I have tutored Algebra successfully before and have worked extensively with students on all core academic subjects.
First and foremost, I love learning as well. Not only do I enjoy learning new subjects and ways to work with students, but I enjoy getting to know people and learning from them as well. One of my essential beliefs is respecting the learner and their particular learning style. Helping a student recognize and further their understanding of how they best learn material is crucial for future academic success. Learning should be engaging, filled with variety, and fun ... read more

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 ... read more

The one thing that I observed about the learning process, is that a person quickly grasps a concept if he/she is interested, or the topic is thoughtful and challenges the wit of a person and lastly, a person is very comfortable in learning through his/her friends. Nobody is stupid not to grasp a concept. It is the methodology, technique and feeling of comfort and interest, that is required. Hence I try to be affable and was more involved. A picturization or a real life example is more likely to fit in a person's mind. I used this technique and was very successful. With this regard, about 70% of my class scored 90% and above in their respective examinations.
I have about 3 years of extensive hands-on and successful teaching experience, I am confident in my ability and passion to teach mathematics. Being a versatile individual I have taught below, on and above average grade level. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient and enjoy working with students that would be classified as difficult. I see that difficulty as being one or two things, they are over achievers and that results in boredom, or they require attention and lack of it results in giving up. I am firm and fair, but always start my classes out with a hopes and fears exercise , where we come together on what expectations we have for one another. We review the contents of that signed document at the conclusion of the course. Each student comes with unique capabilities, I see it as my job to discover that motivation key. I listen and learn , identifying the real obstacles. .
I completed both my degrees, BA and MBA while working full time and raising my family. I have mentored over 23 young professionals, teaching them to accept change and embrace career transition . I have created my own company, Perfect Seminars LLC to ca ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began officially tutoring four years ago, starting up a private tutoring business. Through it, I have taught ages 5 through 55 in nearly all subjects, including mathematics, science, physics, ACT, and English. I also have tutored publicly at Oakland University for one year, where I earned my tutoring certification (level 1).
My passion is in watching others to succeed, and I am willing to change my own methods to make that happen. Thus, my tutoring style depends almost entirely on the student as I have found that the most common reason a tutor is needed is that the student's learning style does not match with the teacher's teaching style. I can tutor through examples, visually drawing concepts, talking, describing the reasons behind a concept, and most importantly, I can relate almost every subject to daily life.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a special education teacher, I worked with students with learning and emotional disabilities, ADHD, autism, and cognitive impairments in grades K-12. I was responsible for modifying and presenting curriculum across all subject areas. I began tutoring as an undergraduate, providing assistance in psychology and writing courses, as well as teaching group classes and providing individual tutoring for SAT and GRE preparation. Over the past 7 years, I have worked with students as young as 3, providing early intervention for communication delays, and with students in K-12 and beyond. I have most recently tutored students in basic reading skills, middle school math, algebra, geometry, and HS level biology, English, and history, as well as provided test preparation tutoring for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. In the context of tutoring students in their current subjects, I have also assisted stude ... read more

I can’t imagine myself not spending the rest of my life teaching. I have worked both in the educational field and the corporate world and without a doubt I know with whom my heart belongs. As a tutor at an Ann Arbor based institution I had the opportunity to work with a number of different backgrounds and styles of learning. I aided a varying degree of students needs such as: grammatical usage, content flow and structure, topic generation, sentence structure, MLA/APA implementation, research methods, written language norms, etc. I have great passion for both education and learning which I hope to share with every student with whom I work. I believe every student is cable of producing a positive educational outcome if given the proper tools and encouragement. Not all students comprehend material in the same way, I believe it is up to educators to help their students recognizes their stren ... read more

In my experiences, I have tutored many students from elementary to college level; mainly in mathematics and occasionally grammar. I have always had a knack for math; even as a senior in high school I chose to take Trigonometry as an elective. My Associates Degree in Telephony Engineering further increased my technical thinking and knowledge. My Bachelors Degree in Business Management strengthened my writing and grammatical skills from the many individual and team writing assignments.
I enjoy working with and instructing students academically. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn, each in their own individual manner. All students can meet their prospective aptitudes if they are given the appropriate learning experiences. As a tutor, I feel my goal is to find the learning method that works best with each student. I am considerate and understanding in dealing with academ ... read more
