PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Livonia, MI

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. 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.

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 academic dif

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 carry on

I find in counseling I have to lead people to come up with their own solutions without telling them the answer. This involves showing them how to get there and teaching them the skills. If any of my friends or coworkers would describe me it would be as a patient person. I think it takes a lot of patience to tutor especially if the student is having trouble grasping a concept. You have to be creative in how you explain it to them. Everyone has a different learning style whether it is audio or visual. I think it’s important the student feels comfortable to voice frustration and ask to go over something again. As a Professional Counselor I have learned to interact with others in a very respectful, sensitive way. It is my job to lead people to conclusions without actually telling them the answer. I believe this is very similar to teaching. I have spent the last 3 ½ years working wit

During my many years of teaching, tutoring, substitute teaching, and youth ministry work, I have worked with a wide variety of students from urban and suburban environments. I've always enjoyed learning, earning a BA in Secondary Education (summa cum laude) and an MA in English from John Carroll University. I have taught all areas of English and have tutored in everything from history to algebra. My greatest strengths lie in helping students learn to write coherently, read fluently, and prepare adequately for the ACT. I have worked with high school students reading at a third grade level as well as those who could succeed at an Ivy League school--and have appreciated all of them. I especially enjoy the challenge of motivating the under-achiever or capturing the interest of the student who is frustrated in a typical classroom. I also love seeing how a student who is "left-behind" or

I dealt directly with children and families from disenfranchised populations, demographically diverse populations, and special needs populations. What I value most is having the opportunity to work with adults and children simultaneously. This gave me a broad over-standing of how to approach very challenging situations. In addition, what I have found to be an effective tool when working with academically challenged youth is having patience, and showing unconditional positive self-regaurd.

My teaching experience came from tutoring at Alkebulan Village for the last two years. I tutored high school students at different levels of math such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Precalculus. I also prepared the student for the ACT exam. While I was in college, I also tutored many students in calculus (I, II & III), Differential Equations, Linear Equations, C++, and Microsoft office words, and excel. I love teaching and it is my favorite thing to do. I been told by every student I help or tutored that I am one of the best teacher they ever had. My style is to challenge and bring the best of every student. I make my lesson an open discussion between me and the students and I found that to be the best and fastest way from them to learn. I also make them relate math to the real world and I was always able to come with very creative examples.
