My experience as a newspaper editor helped me to develop a collaborative teaching style. I want to work with students to understand their questions and help them work through them and arrive at the conclusions on their own. I have a non-intimidating teaching style and want my students to walk away from the sessions not only understanding the answers to their questions, but also be able to apply that knowledge in future situations. Three years of experience in writing and editing as a staff member at the Grand Valley Lanthorn, a student-run newspaper at GVSU. I began as an intern and held various writing and editing jobs throughout my tenure, ultimately departing as editor in chief. My writing has been recognized on the national and statewide level by the American Collegiate Press and the Michigan Press Association. I recently graduated with a B.A. in journalism.

During my many years of teaching, tutoring, substitute teaching, and youth ministry work, I have worked with a wide variety of students from urban and suburban environments. I've always enjoyed learning, earning a BA in Secondary Education (summa cum laude) and an MA in English from John Carroll University. I have taught all areas of English and have tutored in everything from history to algebra. My greatest strengths lie in helping students learn to write coherently, read fluently, and prepare adequately for the ACT. I have worked with high school students reading at a third grade level as well as those who could succeed at an Ivy League school--and have appreciated all of them. I especially enjoy the challenge of motivating the under-achiever or capturing the interest of the student who is frustrated in a typical classroom. I also love seeing how a student who is "left-behind" or

I find in counseling I have to lead people to come up with their own solutions without telling them the answer. This involves showing them how to get there and teaching them the skills. If any of my friends or coworkers would describe me it would be as a patient person. I think it takes a lot of patience to tutor especially if the student is having trouble grasping a concept. You have to be creative in how you explain it to them. Everyone has a different learning style whether it is audio or visual. I think it’s important the student feels comfortable to voice frustration and ask to go over something again. As a Professional Counselor I have learned to interact with others in a very respectful, sensitive way. It is my job to lead people to conclusions without actually telling them the answer. I believe this is very similar to teaching. I have spent the last 3 ½ years working wit

My teaching experience came from tutoring at Alkebulan Village for the last two years. I tutored high school students at different levels of math such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Precalculus. I also prepared the student for the ACT exam. While I was in college, I also tutored many students in calculus (I, II & III), Differential Equations, Linear Equations, C++, and Microsoft office words, and excel. I love teaching and it is my favorite thing to do. I been told by every student I help or tutored that I am one of the best teacher they ever had. My style is to challenge and bring the best of every student. I make my lesson an open discussion between me and the students and I found that to be the best and fastest way from them to learn. I also make them relate math to the real world and I was always able to come with very creative examples.

I enjoy working with and instructing students academically. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn, each in their own individual manner. All students can meet their prospective aptitudes if they are given the appropriate learning experiences. As a tutor, I feel my goal is to find the learning method that works best with each student. I am considerate and understanding in dealing with academic difficulties. I attempt to show the ‘simple steps’ in solving difficult problems. In my experiences, I have tutored many students from elementary to college level; mainly in mathematics and occasionally grammar. I have always had a knack for math; even as a senior in high school I chose to take Trigonometry as an elective. My Associates Degree in Telephony Engineering further increased my technical thinking and knowledge. My Bachelors Degree in Business Management strengthened my writin

From my time with English Club, I found there is very little advantage for either party when the teacher is draconian. Giving the student little rewards, plenty of encouragement, and being patient work much better. I like to try to understand the student on a personal level, so I can make him or her comfortable. Does the student prefer an informal session or to work hard the entire time? Will jokes encourage or distract? Questions like these are key to creating the best learning environment. For two years I was an ESL teacher in Japan with the company English Club. While there, I acquired unique experience in the field of education. Not only did I have to design and tailor each class to the student's abilities and age, but I had to come up with creative ways to relay the material given the constrains on communication. I also have tutoring experience with 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor, which

I can’t imagine myself not spending the rest of my life teaching. I have worked both in the educational field and the corporate world and without a doubt I know with whom my heart belongs. As a tutor at an Ann Arbor based institution I had the opportunity to work with a number of different backgrounds and styles of learning. I aided a varying degree of students needs such as: grammatical usage, content flow and structure, topic generation, sentence structure, MLA/APA implementation, research methods, written language norms, etc. I have great passion for both education and learning which I hope to share with every student with whom I work. I believe every student is cable of producing a positive educational outcome if given the proper tools and encouragement. Not all students comprehend material in the same way, I believe it is up to educators to help their students recognizes their stren

I build a relationship of trust with the students and offer positive reinforcement and use humor to engage all of them. My initial goal is to engage the students then move on to teaching with the final goal being the understanding of the subject in a way that is deeper then just memorization. I want the students to understand why cats see well in the dark instead of just knowing that they do. My specialty is English Literature but I enjoy teaching science and math. I have privately tutored students that recently arrived from Japan in English with a focus on conversation to enable them to quickly feel comfortable in a new country. As they attained conversation skills I changed my focus to education based teaching with a focus on understanding the classroom teacher and being able to participate in the classroom discussion. I have a degree in English but I have completed through Calculus 2

I have worked as a high school Language Arts teacher for the past 18 years. I have taught a variety of literature, composition, and public speaking courses. I have experience teaching students in all high school grades (grades 9-12). I also have extensive experience working with high school aged students in various capacities outside the classroom, such as coaching, club sponsor, class sponsor, and driver education teacher. I also have conducted writing workshops to prepare students to take the Michigan Merit Exam and ACT. I have a great deal of experience working with students in on-on-one situations. I have also completed extensive college course work in Social Studies. My teaching style can be best described as “student centered.” I enjoy the challenge of determining the needs of the individual student and using my skills and experience as an educator to focus on those needs in

I dealt directly with children and families from disenfranchised populations, demographically diverse populations, and special needs populations. What I value most is having the opportunity to work with adults and children simultaneously. This gave me a broad over-standing of how to approach very challenging situations. In addition, what I have found to be an effective tool when working with academically challenged youth is having patience, and showing unconditional positive self-regaurd. My resume highlights my ability, knowledge, and expertise in individual and group therapy at a master level in the field of social work. During my time at Eastern Michigan University, I was able to advance my skill set and knowledge-base by being in a supervisory role.

I believe in empowering our students whenever possible. By this I mean allowing the students to be in charge and have control over their own learning by giving students options. I like working with students in small groups, where I mix their levels of ability thus allowing then to learn not only from me, but from each other as well! I have been teaching for close to fifteen years now, and have had a great deal of experience in working with students from Kindergarten all the up to adult education. This has enabled me to become an extremely well-rounded, adaptable, and flexible educator who is able to wear many hats whenever necessary. I have taught most subject areas and tutored students for SAT/ACT college entrance exams, math, writing, english, Spanish, etc...

I completed both my degrees, BA and MBA while working full time and raising my family. I have mentored over 23 young professionals, teaching them to accept change and embrace career transition . I have created my own company, Perfect Seminars LLC to carry on this mentorship for small businesses. I believe my overseas experience in travel would support me teaching social studies, my profit and loss management would enable me to tutor basic math students and my developed leadership training for inner city school kids would support me teaching marketing , english and entrepreneurism. . I am patient and enjoy working with students that would be classified as difficult. I see that difficulty as being one or two things, they are over achievers and that results in boredom, or they require attention and lack of it results in giving up.
