More About This Tutor...

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 enj ... read more

Social Studies is one of my top subjects!

My teaching style can adapt to whatever my student needs very easily. The tutor can change, but the student cannot.
I am a recently graduated IB/AP student. I have been a volunteer tutor almost everyday for the past four years and have tutored elementary, middle and high school students, even though I prefer elementary. I have a 4.03 gpa and exceed both academically and socially. I pride upon my interpersonal skills and my caring and patient attitude.

High School Student looking for a way to give back.

I admittedly have little experience, but I have helped Friends with school work in the past. I've proofread for friends and helped them study for tests in lower level classes. I'm a above average student who loves kids, with hopes to be a teacher some point in the future. I'm hoping this way I can help some younger kids get ahead in school.

Although my degree is in music education, most of my teaching was done in Christian schools. I have taught math (through Algebra II), English, grammar, history, and science. I would be proficient in any math through Algebra I and any English, grammar or history through grades 12. I have taught grades 3-12.
I have high expectations of students, but I adjust my "teaching style" to the student. For the struggling student, I usually begin at a level that they can easily perform. From that platform, we progress step-by-step until we find the area of difficulty and why it is there. When we master that, we move on. There are a variety of techniques to use, depending on the problem and the student, but the general expectation is that they can do it.

My teaching style is one of kindness and candor. I also believe that as a teacher, one has to command the audience they are teaching to in order for learning to take place. I have a lot of experience with children of several backgrounds and learning styles. I believe that one person can make the difference in the life of another person.
I am a person that does not rest on her laurels. I am always striving to learn new things and have new experiences. I have 11 years teaching experience with Garden City Public Schools in a variety of subjects and elementary grades. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Science, a teaching certificate and a Master's Degree in Teaching and Learning. I have the knowledge and experience that it takes to help others achieve their life goals.

I try my best to make the student figure things out on their own, by giving simple guiding questions or comments. I do not like to simply do the problems for them, as I find most people do not learn well this way. I am patient and empathetic, and I understand what it is like to approach a problem from the position of a student who is confused or unsure. I try to give them the tools to understand basic problem solving and critical thinking.
I went to school at EMU with the intention of getting a doctorate in Physics, to teach at the college level. I ended up getting a job in IT at the University, and found I enjoy this just as much. While a student, I volunteer tutored for the Society of Physics Students, and I tutor all the student employees I have when they are taking physics classes. I love teaching, and the students that I have tutored have excelled under my supervision.

I would usually look the paper over and point out problems with grammar and spelling and tell the student why they weren't working. I believe in the mantra "show, don't tell" when it comes to teaching. I'm pretty laid back and willing to work at whatever pace the student is comfortable with. I don't move on until I feel both of us are on the same page. I think the history of the English language has a lot of really interesting trivia.
I tutored with the Writing Fellows every Thursday at Schoolcraft College when I was working towards my Associate's in Liberal Arts. I helped students write and edit their papers. The primary focus was English but there were a few Social Studies/History students thrown in there. I graduated in April 2009 from Eastern Michigan University with my Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Media and Film with a Minor in Creative Writing.

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...

Having graduated from the University of Michigan(GPA 3.863) and received endorsements in English and History that make me a highly qualified teacher in these areas per NCLB standards, I feel I have a lot to offer. I have had experience as an America Reads Tutor helping inner city youth achieve literacy goals. In addition, I am personally an accomplished writer having won two Hopwood writing awards for drama at the University of Michigan as well as a Marjorie Rappaport award for poetry. During the past two years, I have taught 9th and 10th grade history with an extensive emphasis on academic and archival research and the craft of writing MLA style thesis-based papers. I have also served as a MIFA forensics coach in drama and public speaking.
It is my philosophy that all students want to learn and express their intellectual selves. First, a rapport is crucial. Students will wo ... read more

My career as an educator began when I started tutoring during high school. At a tutoring agency, I provided personal and small group tutoring for children ages 4-15 in math and reading. When I decided to pursue a degree in education, I gained experience by volunteering at summer school programs. I worked with diverse groups of children in first and fourth grade, in all subject areas. While completing my education courses, I student taught in suburban and semi-urban schools. Through my experiences, I learned how to approach one subject from many different angles in order to best suit the learner. I taught kindergarten, second and third grade in all subject areas. Within my elementary education degree, I specialized in mathematics and social studies, and thus have a strong understanding of teaching concepts in both areas. I'm also certified to teach math and social studies at the middle ... read more

I have twenty years of teaching experience in education. I specialize in writing/reading as well as mathematics for upper elementary and middle school students. I have become adept at teaching children how to write, increase their fluency rate in reading, and teach various methods to solve mathematical problems.
I am a firm believer in providing the methods that meet the learning style of my students. With my experience, I have come across new and old ways to make learning easy. Children need someone who has the experience as well as the passion. I have both!

A Little Bit About Me...

While at Wayne State University, I studied Geography, Urban Studies and the Italian language. When I graduated, I held a BA in Geography with minors in Urban Studies and Italian. During my education at Wayne, as I gained a good knowledge of the Italian language, I started to tutor lower-level students. In the end, I tutored Italian for one and a half years.
I am a very easy-going individual; I don't like to push too much but am encouraging. The way I think teaching Italian works best is to make associations with the English language. The two languages are so heavily intertwined, but not at face value. After learning Italian, my knowledge of English is much more profound. Tutoring is very rewarding to me and making a difference in someone's life is important.

A Little Bit About Me...

Whenever I begin working with a student, I assess their skills and identify the areas of concern. Are they lacking the prerequisite skills for a class they are struggling with? Are they struggling because they need more repetition and review, or because they lack organizational skills? Identifying the area of weakness makes it possible for me to individualize my tutoring to meet a student’s learning styles and needs. My goal in tutoring is not only to target the areas of weakness to allow a student to succeed, but also to help them become more aware of their areas of weakness and strengths. Tutoring should not only help students master the material in their current classes, but also help students develop effective study strategies and problem solving skills that will allow them to complete their work independently, when their tutor isn't there and succeed in both current and future c ... read more
