I try to establish an easy rapport with my students. I want them to be comfortable working with me so they will ask questions and be honest about their understanding of the material.

I like to make learning as hands on as well as applicable to their interests as possible. I expect students to give their best effort, but recognize each person's frustration level and ability is different. I like to set attainable goals with the child and then encourage them in each step they make toward meeting those goals. *Taught 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades.

I am a third year college student at Grand Valley State University. I have taken most of the major sciences such as chemistry, physiology and anatomy or micro and genetics. I test out algebra so I didnt have to take college algebra. I took all math classes in high school up to pre- cal. although I have not taken any math classes in college but I am confident that I will be able to help someone out because I tutor my cousin and sister all the time. My sister is a junior in high school and my cousin is a fifth grader. I prefer going over notes first and then answering questions afterward, working through problems depends on students' needs.

With more than 15 years' experience as a newspaper reporter, I have served on the staffs of local and niche newspapers. I have literally covered everything under the sun, ranging from covering a draft horse competition to writing a feature about a former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon member. In my spare time, I write freelance articles for national trade publications and design jewelry. I've been designing jewelry for nearly as long as I've been writing. I don't use patterns and I don't copy someone else's work. A lot of my work has been featured in several popular jewelry-making magazines, I've sold at local, regional and national juried art shows and museum shops, and even was featured on an HGTV "That's Clever!" segment. Did I mention I also studied with Joyce Scott? If you don't know who that is, Google her. Sure, I can teach you the basics of article writing, but do you really k

I have a casual, student centered style of teaching. Sitting down and briefly chatting before teaching helps keep them open and energetic. A few simple jokes can help keep them smiling and entertained. An engaged student is a student that will open their mind to learning. I also prefer to find a method that works for the student instead of forcing my own style on a student. Some students respond well to lots of structure while others do not. My goal as a tutor is to make sure you or your child understands the information they are being taught using whatever method is necessary. My experience includes a year and a half as a substitute teacher. Coming into a new classroom experience every day taught me to be adaptable. I had to adjust my expectations and capabilities with each class. I found I enjoyed working one-on-one with students much more than lecturing to a full sized class. I ha

I meet the student and work around their specific needs. If they are more energetic then I find things that will not only help them learn but will also allow them to use some of their excess energy. However if the student is more laid back I find more calm and relaxing ways to help them understand. I have a rewards system that allows the student to earn tickets that they can later use to get things that they can use. I have helped my cousins, which are 9 and 11, in school for years with reading and writing. I am also able to help in environmental science and economics. In high school I completed both with an A-. I have also taken A computer class and a business class at Muskegon Community College and excelled at both. I am able to help a student learn to type more effectively. I am also able to tailor my teaching style around the student.
