I can help your student get on track for high school, or help them achieve better skills in their college endeavors.

More About This Tutor...

I have been told that my classroom does not need a teacher's desk. This is probably due to my high energy, fact paced teaching style. I love using music and technology to get the students interested. I also like to relate English to their lives and show them how they need it. Yes you may walk past my classroom and hear rap music but, that is strictly to show the students how tools of education are used in their everyday lives.
I have taught 6-12th grade English for three years. While teaching in Detroit I was the lead teacher heading the tutoring program for MEAP preparation. I have also prepared North Carolina students for ACT and SATs.

During my undergraduate studies I tutored at Delta College's Teaching/Learning Center for almost 2 years. While working there I received an award for Tutor of the Year. Delta College being a community college with a wide range of students I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds. I focused mainly in the areas of Mathematics and Computer Science. Since my job at Delta College I have also tutored privately.
I like to approach tutoring on an individual basis. I like to learn what works best for each student and help them understand a subject in the way which best suits them. I believe that anyone is capable of learning anything if it is explained to them in the right way. We all have our unique styles of learning and processing new information, sometimes we just need to see things in a way which helps us see more clearly what is going on. I know that I was lucky ... read more

My teaching style would be to find the student's primary learning style and converting the information he or she needs into a format that fits that learning style. Each subject would be made as visible or concrete as possible, so that the student could interact with the material on more than just a visual/conceptual level. Showing the student how the material can relate to real-life situations and opportunities would be a vital part of the instruction.
After high school, I recognized in myself a desire to work with elementary- and high school-aged children. I have always been at the top of my classes and was heading for an engineering school before I discovered a love for helping kids. I do not have any teaching experience but I spent many summers working with these age groups at camp and enjoy interacting with them. I also easily understand most high school subjects and enjoy h ... read more

I am a retired special ed teacher. I worked with Learning Disabled, Emotionally Impaired, Cognitively Impaired, and Austistic students primarily in the high school. I was an Assistant Principal in a middle school for four years, and a teacher consultant for 30 years. In my role as a teacher consultant, I tutored students primarily in the high school.
For the past 30 years, I have worked with special needs students. I believe that students learn at their educational level. The problem with education today, is that students are often in classrooms that stress learning at their frustration level. Many students are in general ed settings, but are forced to use materials that they do not fully understand. In my role as a teacher consultant, I adapted materials so the students could understand it. If chosen as a tutor, I would do the same so the students would learn at their educ ... read more

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Broadcasting and English. My educational and career background gave me confidence and experience in research, writing,and communicating with people. Also, I have over 8years teaching experience in the school and childcare setting for students ages 4-6. I have taught language arts, science, and math and tutored in reading.
I consider it an honor and a pleasure to teach children. I enjoy making learning fun, creative, and engaging for students. I think it is important to be flexible in individualizing lesson plans because all children learn differently. Promoting an atmosphere of children encouraging one another and building each other up in all areas of learning leads to social and academic success.

While working in these schools I have worked as director of a whole school Christmas program, MEAP coach instructor, after-school teacher, and have gone through a thirty-five hour training to learn and implement conscious discipline.

I believe in meeting my students where they are. I always have a plan and agenda of what to teach but I allow my students to guide how I teach and how much of a particular subject to teach at one time. I believe in both teacher centered and student centered teaching. I want students to explore possibilities and create their own learning as much as possible.
I began my educational career at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It was here that I learned to challenge myself and to help others. I was led to the field of education after many years of volunteering in schools, at church and as a mentor. I have earned a BA in Sociology and an MA in Elementary Education. I am also working on a second masters in K-12 Literacy Instruction.
