Education Should Be An Experience!

I pride myself on being innovative and tailoring teaching to the needs and interests of my students. An ability to relate the material to one's life and take ownership over your learning is the core of my teaching philosophy; therefore, I teach in a manner that best enable my student(s) to maximize this goal. Learning should be an experience, and I strive to develop activities and approaches to make this experience a pleasant and engaging one. My classes are fun. The activities are not wastes of time, and the end result is measurable growth in the subject area. My best quality is my ability to adapt and think on the fly. This means that I can address concerns and issues as they manifest; also, it means that I am not locked into one way of doing something. This means that on a given day, I can adjust the manner and method of instruction to suit the needs and interest of my stud ... read more

I believe strongly in providing children an opportunity to learn material in a way that will resonate with them personally. Throughout my education leading to a dual Master's Degree I have been able to learn a wealth of information about tailoring information to meet individual learning styles. I have experience in a variety of subject areas such as: math, statistics, reading, writing, social sciences (psychology, sociology, political science). Additionally, I have provided private lessons for multiple students that play brass instruments.
I love working with all children, and all age groups. I am here to help find a unique way to present the material to your child to help them understand it in language that they can understand. I am patient, easy going and considerate. My overall goal is to help young students realize their potential, and instill a love of learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching students of all ages and I recognize that most students do not get the help they need during the school day, which is why it is important for them to get the help they need outside of class. Each student learns differently and it is important for me to figure out a way that works best for him or her so that I can instill the techniques that will help them throughout their entire educational career. I find that many students get frustrated when they don’t understand and if I take the time to help them at their own pace in a teaching style that works best for them school becomes less stressful. I feel that once students feel confident in the classroom they can enjoy learning and that’s what I hope to give my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would say that it is a little more toward laid back. Being over 6" tall, stocky, pushing hard, being an ogre, hard-nosed, that isn't going to work for me. People have a tendency to be a bit intimidated and fearful because of my size. I will use it to my advantage if it is necessary, or becomes necessary, but I've found being a little more quiet, reserved and coaxing the student to initiate the discussion is a little better. Ask leading questions, adjust and proceed, based on their response.
I have received degrees in Int'l Business from Lourdes College, as well an Associates Degree in Accounting from Owens Community College. While with the Ohio Air National Guard, participated in the Mentoring program with Township Elementary, Swanton Local Schools for five(5)-years. I enjoyed working with the students, helping those that needed a little extra attention. I enjoy reading, writing, ... read more

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.
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.

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

In my undergraduate studies, I volunteered as a high school athletics coach and took advantage of opportunities to lead college lectures in History, American Literature, and Philosophy. As a graduate student I continued this passion as a volunteer teacher at Community High School in Ann Arbor; there, I used my experience in athletics as a volunteer teacher of a fitness course, and I designed a course on Social Rebellion through Literature which I volunteered to teach as well. My large knowledge base has allowed me to teach and tutor students in English, Spanish, History, Grammar and Rhetoric, Philosophy, the arts (through Aesthetics) and basic science (through Philosophy of Science).
I believe a good instructor does not force students to become good at data recall, nor does he/she simply lord knowledge over the students and assume an ivory tower or bully pulpit mentality. Learning ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a very enthusiastic teacher. I love my subjects and want, above all, to instill in my students a love of learning. I believe that all children can be enthusiastic about learning if a patient teacher or tutor is willing to work with them at their own pace and can find a "common ground" with the child's interests. My goal is to give students an environment where they can excel at their own pace, regardless of whether they are a fast-track learner who needs constant challenge or a struggling student who needs a patient, persistent mentor. I firmly believe in the power of individualized learning support to help a student reach their academic potential.

A Little Bit About Me...

As the child of teachers, I learned the value of a good education early in life. With my parents' guidance and encouragement, I obtained both a BS and a PhD in Chemistry (which included a Study-Abroad stint in the Netherlands). Following my time in Europe, I pursued a 25-year industrial chemistry career that was centered on the automotive, specialty chemical and building material industries. Additional activity in overseas technical transfers and global business has enhanced my communications skills (e.g., university-level funding proposal preparation). Over the past four years, my passion for education has led me to teach and tutor community college students in mathematics, chemistry and other physical sciences. My broad experience has allowed me to relate well to students as I am able to offer illustrative examples from industry to aid the learning process.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very strong academic background in political science and social science with over five years of solid leadership experience. From my work experience and education, I have gained the following skills; customer service, management, community relations, research and analysis, writing, and public speaking.
The most proven teaching style that get the best results at the end of the teaching process is the engagement student plan. Under this plan, all necessary technological, cultural and academic methods that appeal to the student will be employed in order to convey the materials in a way that appeals to and interests the student. Excitement, freshness and vitality are the most important elements in the teaching process. Therefore, my teaching style will be based on engaging the student in every possible way to do the work and learn the best of that work.

Very hands on with a strict demeanor initially that I relax as I gain my students mutual respect. I believe in differentiating instruction as every student learns and retains information in different ways and the best way, in my mind, to teach a student is by covering as many of the multiple intelligences as possible with a focus on that particular students specific strengths and learning style.
I recently received my Bachelors degree in High School Ed with a focus on social studies and I am currently in the process of receiving a Bachelors in history at the end of this semester as well. I also am enrolled in the Graduate program at Lourdes to receive my endorsement to teach K-12 Reading. I also was a certified child care administrator for the YMCA for 6 months in 2006 but had to step down due to my student teaching responsibilities.
