A Little Bit About Me...

Patient and student based.
I have had extensive experience handling and managing children and adults in a learning environment. During my time at Lahser High School, I tutored students ages 7-15 in subjects such as elementary math, history, pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II and geometry. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I began tutoring foreign exchange students from China in English language skills. I have had extensive experience studying Chinese language and have obtained a high degree of fluency in Mandarin Chinese. I have studied and worked in China and understand not only the language, culture and business world, but also understand the type of work, dedication and teaching it takes for a foreigner to obtain Chinese language skills. I have taken classes on law, economics and international politics in Mandarin Chinese and have worked in Chinese law fi ... read more

Guitar is one of my top subjects! Experience teaching guitar for 8+ years. All levels welcome!

I believe that learning repertoire that the student is interested in is the fastest way to develop a passion for music. Positive encouragement is key, and I believe the teachers' job is to guide their students in what they want to do. Developing technical proficiency and understanding the emotions and intent of the music is the foundation of my teaching style.
Hello! My name is Evan Levine and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in music performance at the University of Michigan. Originally from New Jersey, I have been teaching students between the ages of 6-18 for over 8 years in both private and group settings. I have taught a range of music styles, including; Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country and Classical music. I am also proficient in Music Theory and Music History and would be able to supplement that with instrument instruction.

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.
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 am currently a writing tutor and learning coordinator at the University of Michigan. I help to insure that student athletes receive a fair education while they are on scholarship. I tutor them on a weekly basis in most subjects but I focus primarily on writing and English. I am a very effective writing tutor both for grammar checking, composition, and essay writing. I have a BA in business management from Michigan State University, so I am very proficient in Econ, Math, computer skills and most business oriented courses. I also teach private guitar lessons at a music academy in Plymouth and I have studied, written, recorded, produced and performed music most of my life so that is another area I can be of great help.
I love teaching and working with people of any age that I can help both academically and otherwise. I love the one on one relationship that is developed through ... read more

My BS in Civil Engineering provided me with an extensive education of advanced Mathematics such as Calculus, Dynamics, Physics, and Statics. I worked for 10 years in the field which included design of subdivisions, site condominiums, and other developments. Correspondence between review engineers on projects required proper writing and grammatical skills. Since October of 2009,I have worked part-time for a Metro Detroit tutoring agency. Subjects include Math, Science, English, and ACT test preparation.
Patience and flexibility are the keys. You can't explain a concept the same way to each student and expect each one will understand. Some students need extra time to grasp the material so it's important not to progress unless there's certainty of complete comprhension. Encouragement is also necessary which will build their confidence, and a confident student is a better one.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe it is important to connect the past learning experiences of each student, and spark interest, and motivation in future learning of the subject. I believe the differences in the discovery process in each individual arouses creativity in the way problems are reasoned through which inspires each student intrinsically. I give quick, formative assessments to determine students' level of knowledge of the content, and their learning style. I provide instruction using open-ended question discussions, real world manipulative, multiple solutions for the same problem, and the promotion of self-regulated learning to help students gain ownership over their learning experiences.
I gained a B.S. degree from Western Michigan University in Math and Physics in April of 07’, and went back to school completing a teacher certification program in April of 09’ at Western Governors Univer ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While earning my BA from Oakland University, I would often tutor my fellow students and help them refine their papers. In addition to the sharp grammar skills required by my major, the numerous papers that I wrote have given me a broad general knowledge base which expands beyond the purely literary. I have also judged for the Oakland County Fair for the past two years, helping young people develop their skills in both the performing and visual arts. In addition, over the last two years, I have worked as a fact-checker and proofreader, both freelance and as an intern. I have also played acoustic guitar for 13 years.
My pedagogical style adjusts itself according to the needs of the student. I am typically patient, and considerate, yet I can be firm if I need to be. No one person learns the same way, and my goal is to provide the best possible education, customized for a student ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach begins with a clearly mapped out plan of study for the term of the course. The course syllabus, dictionary of examples, and external references must be thoughtfully constructed and easy to follow. This provides the student with two things: a clear map by which to gain familiarity with upcoming material as the course progresses and an initial level of comfort in the ability of the instructor. A constant emphasis on the development of time management and study skills is also important. Students undertake courses having acquired a unique set of educational experiences; constructively extending this experience through study skills instruction allows each student to enhance their capacity to learn as a whole.
As an undergrad, I worked as a tutor in mathematics, which gave me great experience in dealing with varied learning styles. This experience strongly informed my approac ... read more

I've always enjoyed the art of communicating complicated material to those who are just learing or don't quite "get it". My focus is to break things down into basic elements and achieve agreement. Then, support learning with repetition. For example: "Would you agree that if we add 5 and 5 and then another 5 that we would end up at 15?" "So, then, 5 added together three times equals 15, right?" I'm also a big fan of mindmapping for education, so I tend to use it when I lecture at college, and I encourage my students to use it as a visual recall tool.

A Little Bit About Me...

Being currently enrolled in one of the Top 20 schools in the state of Michigan, learning is something that comes to me as second nature. Math, English, Science, Foreign Language and History are the five required subjects in the Troy School District, and they offer hundreds of other courses to excel the student body into a wide range of future careers. My strengths include writing and editing papers, biology, astronomy, algebra, Spanish and music. I also have taken extracurricular activities in music to better understand music theory. I know how to play 4 instruments at an advanced level and can sing. For the past 3 years, I have been helping out students at The School of Rock in Rochester, and have been participating in it as well.
I am used to teaching both students close to my age and students younger than I. I always try to explain ideas in ways that make the student think. I ne ... read more
