My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I currently serve as both an ACT and SAT tutor, primarily focusing on reading comprehension skills and writing.

I believe in using my experience and expertise as a writer to help students maximize their potential. As a writing and composition instructor at Eastern Michigan University, I worked with a diverse population of students, who were from all different educational backgrounds, and my priority was to ensure that each student excelled and improved their writing. Given my educational and teaching background, tutoring is second nature to me. If you're interested in inquiring about or receiving my services please contact me via email at kbarnes@emich.edu.

More About This Tutor...

Tutored students as a part of an after school program with inner-city, Washington High School. Assisted the struggling students with brainstorming paper topics, clearly communicating ideas, general textbook use, critical thinking, future goal making. I also made a point to get to the students as people not projects. Throughout college I regularly worked with Spanish speaking students to develop clear papers on a variety of subjects. I also helped them edit for proper grammar and sentence structure.

Hi, My name is Madelyn. Just a little bit about myself: I have a great deal of experience working in the classroom. I've worked in both the elementary classroom as well as the preschool classroom. Prior to obtaining my teaching certificate I taught early childhood for 7 years. Currently I am a private tutor working with home school families as a private tutor and consultant. I am also a wife (huge job but rewarding none the less). I can help! My greatest qualities as an educator/tutor are, I am very patient, attentive and engaging. I look forward to working with you/your family in the future

Motivating and Inspiring Students to Learn for Life

I have taught at risk, special ed and gifted students for close to 2 decades. I was recognized as a distinguished teacher throughout my teaching career. Throughout my career I have been highly successful in all areas in the field of education. I believe that all students can learn and believe that students must take a serious part in their learning. As students self-assess, become involved in their learning, they will become motivated learners.
Practice a variety of things to motivate students and engage them in the depth of learning.

Share your knowledge to someone else.

Critical thinking skills and untraditional ways are what I focus on. However the way someone learns, I will try to set the individual up to show how they learn and work with them. I will implement practices and materials I think will fit the student's profile. I feel a teacher wears many hats and you must be prepared to wear a different one any day.
I have been a tutor for 23 years and I have taught Adult Basic Education for 12 years. I am still continuing my education to receive a Masters degree and plan to get my PhD. I work for a community college and have done advising, enrollment, testing, phone directory, and student sevices. I have attended many professional development workshops on education.

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

My teaching style can adapt to whatever my student needs very easily. The tutor can change, but the student cannot.
I am a recently graduated IB/AP student. I have been a volunteer tutor almost everyday for the past four years and have tutored elementary, middle and high school students, even though I prefer elementary. I have a 4.03 gpa and exceed both academically and socially. I pride upon my interpersonal skills and my caring and patient attitude.

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

I know how important English communication skills are to success in ALL subjects, and my approach helps students to realize the connection between English and all academic areas.
I have taught in Dearborn Public Schools for 34 + years, 32 of which were in grades 9-12. I truly enjoy the process of teaching and watching students improve. Lack of confidence is often the cause of low achievement. I concentrate not only on self-image and confidence, but on ACTUALLY IMPROVING SKILLS so the student's confidence will come from within, not from mere positive re-inforcement, but from actually experiencing their own growth. I love to teach writing skills, reading improvement/comprehension, grammar, and all aspects of English language arts. Teaching for me is more than a job; it's a calling.

English and Writing CAN be Fun!

Since being awarded a master's degree in 2008, I've taught English composition, literature, and reading comprehension courses at Wayne State University, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College, and Jackson Community College. I am currently a professor of English at Wayne County Community College.
The collaborative learning approach, where students are encouraged to discuss what and how they're learning, is most effective. Students tend to engage much better with course material when the instructor has discussions with them, as opposed to lecturing at them.

I am a seasoned teacher with a vast knowledge base.

I believe in on-hand materials, using all the modalities of hearing, seeing, & tactile.
I have taught for over (23) years from Kindergarten to college Anatomy. I have raised MEAP scores significantly with Math, Reading, & Writing. I also played @ EMU with college football, from 1972-1975. See current resume for experience. The most important part of any passion is attitude & work ethic. I possess both. I have made a difference in many students lives, & I hope I can make a difference in your son/daughter's life.

I Teach Kids how to read one letter, one book, one success.

I love to teach from a kinesthetic approach. I believe that all students learn differently. So I provide all types of manipulatives for learning.
I have taught school for over 23 years. During my teaching career I have worked with multi-levels of students. The majority of my experiences has been on the primary level working with pre-K thru 3rd grade. I also have experience with 5th grade all subjects. But I have my own tutoring Company and I have worked with kids to adults. I love literacy, phonemic awareness, phonics, and teaching children to read,
