Experience Summary
I first began tutoring when I was attending University of Michigan. It gave me great pleasure to help others succeed. After graduating I held many prestigous positions but none captured my passion as much as tutoring. Eventually my passion got the best of me and I began tutoring elementary, middle school, and high school students. For the past 5 years I have been professionally tutoring elementary school through freshman college students. I partner with local elementary - high schools: E.W. West Elementary, Landmark Academy,Langston High School, and Mills Springs Academy. I also work with Graduation Counselors to prepare their students to take ACT, ASVAB, and SAT tests. My students say that I make learning easy to understand. I believe every student has the potential to suceed. The key to their success is to teach by using the method in which they learn. I tutor Algebra, Geometry, Trigonmetry, Pre-Calculus,Organizational Skills and Test Preparation (ACT, ASVAB, COMPASS,PAST,SAT, and TEAS).
I believe that math helps students become successful in so many different aspects of life and I can help them achieve this goal.
Teaching Style
My teaching style consists of hands on application and converting math into everday language. Each student must be able to complete assigned math problems as well as explain how and why they chose their math operations.
My teaching style for Reading consists of phonics, prefixes, suffixes, context clues, grammar strategies and tips. Each student must be able to summarize what they read, identify main idea, identify main character, and explain what they liked about it and what they didn't.
Additionally each student will receive short daily assignments to reinforce building skills to improve knowledge and study skills.
My Hobbies
Reading,movies, playing group games, helping others grow and talking with family and friends
