Award-winning writer and editor ready to tutor you!

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.

Never stop pushing yourself to learn

I have taught a large array of children and adults, anywhere from a 2nd grader struggling with reading to adult Burmese refugees. I have the patience and flexibility to successfully work with anyone. I started tutoring when I was around the age of 13. I taught a young Korean girl English, where I would have to create my own lesson plans. While I attended Okemos high school, I partook in volunteering experiences that dealt with tutoring. For two years, I was placed at an elementary school where I would tutor 1st-5th graders biweekly with anything from basic math to practice with reading. I built strong connections with the children, which I could use to better their learning. At Michigan State University, I spent a semester tutoring at the Boys and Girls club of Lansing. I helped in any kind of homework the children had, and was flexible in helping the supervisor with any other needs that ... read more

My comments on tutoring ACT : I specialize in math and science preparation. The first thing I do is find out the strong/weak areas of the student and focus on the areas that need the most improvement. I also use sample tests and test questions.

Adjusts accordingly with the needs of the student.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that learning is so much better and more effective when you enjoy the process. Just as I put context into every article I write, I strive to help students see where these facts came from and how this knowledge they're gaining fits into the world around us. School and learning can be hard work, but it's valuable work, and we can make it a lot of fun.
I have a deep passion for learning, and it's always my goal not only to help students learn skills but to find their inner motivation too. I currently work as a substitute teacher, and I appreciate the chance I have to see the best of what teachers and paraprofessionals are using in the classroom and how they help their students. I have much experience students of all ages with their homework and projects as a nanny, babysitter, and older sister of four. I was also a certified therapeutic riding instructor, so I taught individ ... read more

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

As an older recent graduate I have experienced how hard it can be to get a bachelor degree and raise a family at the same time. To be committed to both made me who I am today. I take great pride in the accomplishments I have succeeded in. I take just as much pride when tutoring children, their success is the most important accomplishment that can be achieved for all involved.
I currently am working as a teacher for summer school. I enjoy walking in the school everyday and working with the students, helping them find academic success while having fun at the same time. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the right learning experiences. I love working with children one on one or in a group. I have found most children learn by hands on. I love to do experiments with students or fun games to make their learning a little easier. I am patient, easy goi ... read more
