Highly Qualified Tutor Available for Grades K-6

My teaching style and approach varies depending on the needs of the learner. I try to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the child and base my approach to instruction on that. Each lesson is specially tailored to meet the needs of the individual student so he/she can succeed in school. Generally, I am able to provide the materials for the tutoring session, but I also help students with homework and other school related tasks. I try to make the tutoring sessions engaging and interesting for the students so that they will want to continue their quest for knowledge.
I have been tutoring elementary students for over 12 years now in all subjects areas and have had great success helping them excel in school. In addition to tutoring elementary students, I have had experience as a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, and special needs instructor. I offer services during t ... read more

I also have a Minor in Political Science. My Honors Thesis, which is in the final stages of submission, is on the testing of a new variable mixing efficiency variable for use in our current climate models.

ACT, MCAT Tutor: One on One tutoring for your success.

I have tutored extensively with students of all ages and of diverse backgrounds. I believe teaching should be based on each student's individual method of learning. Thus, I have always adapted to each student to find effective teaching methods. I also believe in short term assessments to make sure the student is not only memorizing concepts, but learning to apply them in test-taking situations. Teaching through example is particularly important for me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure the student is learning the material in a practical way.

More About This Tutor...

One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing each one of my students grow as an individual and academically.I have always wanted to be a teacher since I can remember. I wanted to give back to my students what was given to me. "A chance to to learn and grow". For me, it seemed only natural to obtain a career in the area of my first love "TEACHING". I teach because it's who I am and what I do. When I see my students getting excited about learning;I feel that same excitement as though it was me as a young child again. It's my chance to do something meaningful and fulfilling with my life. It reminds me that I have imparted knowledge into the lives of each one of my students. This is what God has intended for me to do. “TEACH”
As a teacher, one of the most important things I can do is create a community of learners, which helps me determine how to assess my students. Creating a c ... read more

My teaching style consists of finding that unique style that will suit each individual student. Growing up, I noticed that it was very hard for certain students to grasp certain concepts because they were not engaged in the teaching method. It is no secret that everyone learns a certain way, and no two ways are ever the same. I believe that my patience, my calm demeanor, and habit of wanting to make learning something fun rather than a job has certainly helped me in my education. I also am a big proponent of having children set goals for themselves. Setting goals makes you work harder without feeling the pressure, and I've learned that once children reach that goal they will just want to go higher.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teachers can be a catalyst for change and participate in the transformative learning process for both the student and the teacher. Learning is a collaborative experience and I am dedicated to a student-centered practice. My responsibility as an educator will be to act as a facilitator in the learning process and encourage students to self-reflect, critically think, and embrace the many different aspects of our community. Every child should have an equal opportunity to formal education. For me, teaching represents a tool for social change that can equip students with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to prevail over societal discrimination. Furthermore, I strive to enhance a student’s self efficacy. It is paramount for students to receive encouragement and positive appraisal so that their level of self-efficacy can increase. The educator should create a positive environment that pr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and tutoring various groups of people! Attending the University of Michigan offered me many opportunities to tutor and teach people of all age groups. I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant in a preschool, a teacher for undergraduate students at U of M in a service learning class, and a teacher of a creative writing class for a group of adult males and females. My tutor experience includes working at a local after school tutoring program working one on one with students to focus on their individual needs. Over the past several years, I have tutored students in middle school, high school, and college in Spanish, Math, and English.
My favorite teaching experiences have been tutoring students one on one-it is truly remarkable to see the improvement students can make when they are able to work at their own pace and with individualized attention. I am committed to hel ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My love for teaching began when I would tutor my younger brother in reading. I would not stop teaching until he understood the concept he had to learn. I never thought of pursuing education in college, as the history and culture of Japan, China, and Korea interested me a lot. To augment my allowance, I took on tutoring jobs. This part time has helped me realize that I do have a knack for teaching and passion to ensure that tutees under my care do learn. While I did not switch to take up education right away, my BA degree has given me a lot of opportunity to read varied literary genres and to write for different purposes. It has helped sharpen my natural inquisitiveness to learn, to do research work, and it also fostered in me the desire to make a difference. With the education courses, the passion for teaching and learning has been ablaze.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that teaching is the most important profession in the world. Not only do I have the opportunity to shape young people’s minds and make them future leaders, I have the responsibility to do my best to assure their success. Student success should not only be evaluated through academic achievement but also personal growth. The most important job for a facilitator is to create meaningful discussions that encourage subject mastery and an opportunity for students to learn from their peers.
As an educator at all levels, I am interested in helping students achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished by providing opportunities for students to learn through their preferred method of instruction. Whether a student is in kindergarten or graduate school, it is the teachers job to facilitate and guide him/her to success. I am qualified to teach elementary and middle school ... read more
