Raymond N - Grand Rapids, MI 49506 (31.2 mi) - Government Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I am a very patient person who has been called a natural teacher. I speak clearly and well. I can easily understand difficulties that students have with statistics and mathematics, and I am creative in devising appropriate techniques for mastering the subject matter. I very much enjoy teaching and my enthusiasm for my discipline is easily apparent. I have taught math from grades 8 to 12 in a public high school. As a professor, I taught statistics to undergraduates in two private universities (Case Western Reserve University and Dartmouth) for a total of twelve years, and biostatistics at the graduate level at Harvard and Dartmouth for 17 years.
I have tutored students privately in math, statistics, and computer science for over 30 years.
In addition, I have published two books plus dozens of applied research papers in the medical sciences which rely heavily on the application of

Kristy K - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (32.7 mi) - Government Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also currently work in education as a tutor and a substitute teacher, sometimes as a child care worker. Subjects: political science, biology, math through pre-calculus, accounting, English, computer technology, and a few more. I have honed my writing and research skills through my experience in my master’s program, and through a year working as a full time staff writer for a health and wellness company. My teaching experience and family have aided me in developing a teaching style that appeals to the four different types of student learners. My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve th

Diana F - Kentwood, MI 49508 (33.1 mi) - Government Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I enjoy helping people learn English. Have a lot of understanding and compassion of what it means to learn a foreign language, as I have learned two. I have also lived as an expatriate in a foreign country, so I understand a lot of what the expatriate has to go through in a new land. I am used to teaching all types of learners, from slow to fast, and am able to adjust. I love to see people be encouraged and catch on, so I try to guide new concepts around mental roadblocks, and make it easy.
I also love to learn new things, and new ways of doing things. I was a Missionary in Panama for fourteen years. Learned Spanish through a two-year course in the country. As a missionary, I went on to teach Literacy and Bible to indigenous peoples there.
After coming home stateside, although not certified, I earned extra income by giving classes in English to Hispanics in my home. I also taught

James D - Grand Rapids, MI 49507 (33.8 mi) - Government Tutor - $56.50/hr.
During the past 5 years I have been a substitute teacher for Kentwood Public Schools and Excel Charter School in both elementary and high school classes. This experience has given me insight into what I feel is necessary for students to prepare for the future i.e college, skilled labor, technology etc.
I have administered tests to evaluate pupil progress and issue reports to parents to discuss student progress and any problems that may exist. Students that I have tutored/mentored have become very successful in their life after graduation from H.S./College.
I know that if a child can read, and understand what they read, they can be successful in life. That is my first priorty in the education of a student.

Wesley B - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (34.6 mi) - Government Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects and have no issue working in difficult classrooms as I have grown accustomed to such environments working in St. Louis. Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence allowi

Peter V - Wyoming, MI 49509 (35.7 mi) - Government Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I enjoy working and interacting with children and young people. I seek to provide an environment of encouragement and affirmation while expecting the student to participate as best they can. I recognize that learning styles vary, the temperament of a child varies, and the uniqueness of each person factors into how they learn. I teach through interaction, illustration and humor. I strive to discover a student's strengths and build on them, affirm them, and further develop them. I have been an instructor in secondary educaiton teaching English and Speech. I have directed a leadership training program for eight years where I have instructed men and women. In a church setting, I have led high school age and college age students as well as adults in education settings. I mentor adults in a variety of life situations. When teaching on a secondary level, I also provided home tutoring for

Brad F - Battle Creek, MI 49014 (36.8 mi) - Government Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a substitute teacher for the past three years, I have experiencing teaching nearly every academic subject. I am a published playwright and have sold over fifteen short scripts for religious one-acts to the Nashville-based Belden Street Music Company. My writing and composition skills are particularly strong, my understanding of grammar is excellent and I have worked extensively in high school English/writing classes. I also held a long term substitute assignment in an Air Force Junior ROTC program in which I taught leadership skills and character building. In addition to my BA in theatre, I minored in journalism/mass communication. One of the reasons that I'm interested in tutoring is that, although I love working with individual students and small groups, I am less interested in classroom management, discipline and the rest of the duties that come along with substitute teaching. I am

Deborah D - Richland, MI 49083 (43 mi) - Government Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I most enjoy working with students on a one-to-one basis, or in a small group. I believe each student wants to achieve to the best of his or her ability. It is my opinion that the student does not fail -- rather, the school often fails the student. I will work with your student in a positive, encouraging atmostphere that will help them do their best. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Magna Cum Laude, from Western Michigan University, majoring in History and minoring in Political Science. In addition, I have earned twenty-seven credit hours in English composition and writing courses. I have tutored at the college level, have volunteered in elementary classrooms as a reading and phonics coach, and have taught Latin with the Memoria Press homeschool curriculum materials. I am the mother of three grown children, two currently in college.

mark s - plainwell, MI 49080 (44.5 mi) - Government Tutor - $35.50/hr.
In my career in automotive plastics, I coached or taught manufacturing principles to improve quality and efficiency. My demonstrated success is due in part to my efforts to educate and coach operators, engineers and managers to understand the basic principles of chemistry, math and engineering to buy into a logical course of action.
I have also greatly enjoyed my voluntary participation as a youth football coach. I have coached 8-12 year olds the last 5 years. It is very fulfilling to demonstrate and coach new skills to children to develop an organized team. I have a BS in chemical engineering. I have 13 years of applying engineering and project management principles in the automotive plastics industry. A key to my success is influencing people by explaining "why" and "how" something should be done to develop partnerships leading to increased cooperation and advocacy.

Brian B - Kalamazoo, MI 49007 (49.5 mi) - Government Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have 20+ years experience in the computer field and I had a 3.0 average in general studies. I have a BS in computer science and an AAS in microcomputer technology. Most of my education was self taught beyond high school. I've also tutored and mentored school age children for approximately four years when in college. All math and science subjects were from high school from basic math to calculus, trigonometry, and basic geometry. Physical and earth sciences are also strong suites. I can also give students better study skills and memory retention techniques to aid in obtaining higher grades in K-12 and some post-secondary education. My style of teaching is repetition of material focusing on specific areas where the student is having problems. One on one approach until the lesson is grasped by the student has proven to work more than group settings. Once the area of concern is lea

Janet S - Kalamazoo, MI 49007 (50.1 mi) - Government Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Opening doors and creating joy in learning is what I genuinely enjoy about teaching. Leading my students to see the world and themselves in new ways is one of the most satisfying aspects of the task. I teach with humor and compassion, but encourage self discipline and striving for personal best in each of my students. I believe that every person has the capacity to learn and teach critical and analytical skills, because the ability to think is the fundamental ability in all learning situations. I am an Ivy League Graduate with Doctoral level graduate Studies from Indiana University. My minor for each of my study areas is Psychology. I have taught multiple subjects in academic, corporate, public service, K-12, and Emergency Medical Services and have been in training and education all of my professional career, currently tutoring in the Kalamazoo Public School systems.

James G - Kalamazoo, MI 49007 (50.2 mi) - Government Tutor - $52.50/hr.
I am an entrepreneur with four years experience at organizing and operating a non-profit organization. My organization develops affordable, democratically controlled housing in downtown Kalamazoo. Building KCH, I gained many technical and professional writing skills. In addition, it was requisite that I teach my colleagues the very skills I was learning. I am also a lifelong learner. Western Michigan University awarded me a Bachelors in Science for completing my majors, Urban and Regional Planning and Rhetoric and Writing. I have two children ages eight and five. We learn with each other through discovery, often turning to our dictionaries and computers for information. I think that the greatest skill for one to learn is to be able to seek information that can be synthesized into the answer that is needed. I use constructive criticism, making statements that demonstrate why an answer or

Emma L - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (50.5 mi) - Government Tutor - $37.00/hr.
As a civil engineering graduate, I spent a lot of time working with mathematics and achieving a higher level of education. I have always enjoyed working with kids especially in mathematics and athletic activities. I have tutored many college students as well as younger students in various subjects including math, English, biology, physics, and graphic design. I really enjoy working with children in various subjects and activities. I believe all children have a different way of learning and can all find a way that best suites them. My teaching style is based on how the student learns best and what their interests are. I like to incorporate my excitement to teach because students tend to be more interested in learning when you are interested in who they are. I really stress hard work and fun into my lessons so that students will not only learn a lot, but remember it as well.
