Karen B. - Lapeer, MI 48446 (39.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $55.00/hr.
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

Lynn L. - Roseville, MI 48066 (41.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $27.50/hr.
Above average scoring for verbal/written skills. My method of tutoring is to work with students where they are and add to their skills, to accomplish the final outcome, preferably an "A" or "B." Some students are visual learners and some are informational learners, or some students combine the two. The potential I see in students is what I try to bring out and have them realize they are capable of going a step further, to reach their goal. The importance of education and the students' continuance of same cannot be stressed enough. I started out tutoring elementary students in basic math and English grammar while I attended college part time in the 1980's. I continued tutoring young students and adults in the 1990's, tutoring Basic Math, Basic and Intermediate Algebra, Basic Geometry, English Composition, Speech, Study Skills and the Sciences. In addition, tips were given to enhance

Ejaz S - Auburn Hills, MI 48326 (41.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $46.00/hr.
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. I have been successful at accommodating diverse students’ needs by offering individualized and extracurricular support and integrating effective materials. Being a hard working educator, I welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how my experience, collaborative nature, and innovative skills will benefit your child. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon. 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.

Jeffrey H - Eastpointe, MI 48021 (42.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $42.50/hr.
Many people have different teaching skills and techniques. I do not believe any technique to educate a child is better than any other technique. Each child learns differently. Understanding the fact that children learn differently is crucial. The teacher must be able to adapt to the child's learning style. I believe I have the ability to use an array of teaching styles to help children. I would enjoy the opportunity to help children learn. As a student at the University of Detroit Mercy, I worked as a tutor for two years. I helped other students struggling in mathematics and biology classes. Also, my senior year in college I worked as a Teaching Assistant for a Microbiolgy lab. In addition, I did student teaching for a Catholic Middle School.

Matthew M - Royal Oak, MI 48068 (47.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $52.50/hr.
All students can learn, but they have different learning styles. Identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses is a key step in the learning process. Whatever their particular style is, students learn best in a positive learning environment which ideally will include the following elements: positive reinforcement, a regular study plan, parental support, and a quiet environment.
I have found that another key is to give the student some degree of ownership over what they learn by turning more of the responsibility for framing questions and summarizing what they have learned over to them. One way to make this work is to activate their prior learning. We learn much more of what we do than what we hear.
I have a passion for learning and am not ashamed to say that I am still learning. This passion for learning can be contagious. I have taught physical science and life science in New

Benjamin J - Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302 (47.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.00/hr.
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 to mee

Michael C - Ferndale, MI 48220 (48 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have been teaching for close to fifteen years now, and have had a great deal of experience in working with students from Kindergarten all the up to adult education. This has enabled me to become an extremely well-rounded, adaptable, and flexible educator who is able to wear many hats whenever necessary.
I have taught most subject areas and tutored students for SAT/ACT
college entrance exams, math, writing, english, Spanish, etc... I believe in empowering our students whenever possible. By this I mean allowing the students to be in charge and have control over their own learning by giving students options. I like working with students in small groups, where I mix their levels of ability thus allowing then to learn not only from me, but from each other as well!

Troy J - Ferndale, MI 48220 (48.5 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I have privately tutored students that recently arrived from Japan in English with a focus on conversation to enable them to quickly feel comfortable in a new country. As they attained conversation skills I changed my focus to education based teaching with a focus on understanding the classroom teacher and being able to participate in the classroom discussion. I have a degree in English but I have completed through Calculus 2 and have taken Physics and Chemistry courses so I spread the focus of the lessons through different disciplines with the goal of facilitating classroom learning. I build a relationship of trust with the students and offer positive reinforcement and use humor to engage all of them. My initial goal is to engage the students then move on to teaching with the final goal being the understanding of the subject in a way that is deeper then just memorization. I want the stu

Andrew V - Beverly Hills, MI 48025 (49.7 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I have over six years of professional experience as an educator. In my career as an educator, I have worked with students ranging from young English language learners in central Mexico to recent high school graduates enrolled in a large urban university to international business and engineering professionals. I completed my multiple subjects credential in December, 2007, and hold endorsements in English and Spanish; I am also authorized to work with English language learners. As a tutor, I am able to focus completely on an individual's learning needs. I begin a tutoring relationship by having students perform a series of diagnostic activities, and then tell me about their strengths and weaknesses as learners, as well as their hopes and expectations for the tutoring sessions. With that information, I am better able to design learning activities that address students' learning needs an
