Laura U. - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (0.3 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $20.00/hr.
I have a Writing Minor, and I am well- trained in not only creative writing, but writing non-fiction work and journalism styled writing. I have also written several short scripts, some of which have been performed by a small group of students for an audience. I have a great love of words, language, and imagery through both words and language. I wish to work with other potential writers to help them sculpt their own writing craft.

Alexa W. - Grand Rapids, MI 49525 (4.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $25.00/hr.
I prefer a style that empowers the students to take ownership of their work so they will become better thinkers and writers. I prefer discussion-based learning opposed to "lecture-style" teaching where I can interact freely with the student as a peer-tutor. More specifically, I like to use white boards and visual aids in sessions. I have worked in Cedarville University's Writing Center as a tutor for two years. As a tutor, I conducted one-on-one sessions with college-age students to help them improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I also led several workshops on various skills required for college-level writing, such as "How to write a historical/biographical analysis" and "How to write a Marxist analysis." In addition, in training for my tutorship, I wrote a research paper on how to tutor various types of LD students, focusing on students with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and variou

Joy D. - Belmont, MI 49306 (9 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a BA in English-Writing. Throughout my classes, I have honed the skills of writing and communicating effectively, whether it be creatively or analytically, as well as expanded my knowledge of literature by taking classes such as Shakespeare and 20th Century British Literature. I am a very well-read person who has a leaning toward classic authors such as Bronte, Dumas,and Hemingway. I completed a senior honors thesis, which was 70 pages of analyzing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and continuing my own creative project, a novel in the making. This honors thesis received the Marsha Daigle-Williamson Award in English in May 2011. To go along with my English degree, I acquired a minor in History while at Spring Arbor University, which led to me tutoring an American History course. Along with this, I have published short storied and poems in sma

Alyssa N. - Zeeland, MI 49464 (15.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have a very hands-on teaching approach. In order for a child to truly grasp a concept or show their understanding, they must demonstrate the skill. It would be a disservice to them if it was a "listen only" style. I recently graduated from a private college in Illinois. I was attending in hopes of receiving my Bachelors in Secondary English Education. Due to life events I had to graduate early without the full completion of this degree. I have been helping in 6-12 English, theater, Language Arts, and Reading classes for 4 years and I plan on starting my Master's Degree in School Counseling next fall.

Wesley B - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (1.3 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $45.00/hr.
Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence allowing me to achieve great things with any student, all of whom deserve positive roles models and passionate teachers. I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects and h

Tara B - Grand Rapids, MI 49544 (4.4 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I love working with students of all ages. I believe that students have different styles of learning and all learn at their own pace. I would love to help your child find academic success. I am a patient, kind-hearted individual who can flexible to the needs of students. I think it's important to expose students to different ways of learning and help them to succeed with what approach works best for them. My goal is to help the student succeed while making a difference in their life. As a Magna Cum Laude Graduate of Grand Valley State University with a degree in English/Language Arts and a teaching certificate in Elementary Education, I was hoping to help students succeed. I have worked with students from K-12th grade by substitute teaching both long and short term. Most recently, I have been a Site Coordinator for an alternative high school after school program where I provided students

Linda W - Grand Rapids, MI 49546 (5.3 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I love the give and take of interaction with students. My approach is learner-centered, which means that I see each student as an individual and strive to tailor our instructional exchange to meet the needs of each person. I believe that teaching is dialogic; it is through dialogue that instructors and students together engage in the exploration process that leads to learning. I do not ascribe to the "open head, pour in facts" approach to teaching. Rather, I seek to facilitate problem solving, critical thinking, data gathering, and logical analysis that extends the student's knowledge, but more importantly teaches them to learn how to learn. I began my career as a high school teacher teaching grades 9-12. My engagement with students at this level was highly satisfying; I loved teaching this age group speech and drama courses. After that I spent several years in a FT professional tou

Priscilla O - Wyoming, MI 49509 (5.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Ever since graduating from college and moving to Chicago I make time during my week to volunteer at the Chicago Temple in the Loop to help a child develop reading and comprehension skills in the English language. I invent creative ways and use the scientific method to engage my tutee with learning, such as on one occasion, while reading a literary work by Cuban poet Jose Marti, both the student and I individually drew pictures and diagrams as a way of interpreting the poem, and later shared our ideas with each other. My love for teaching goes as far back as my high school years. Specifically, in 2004, when I graduated from high school, I decided to take a gap year before enrolling in college. During that time, I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a first grade class. That experience was both enjoyable and humbling for me because aside from performing my assigned duties to enhance teachin

Loan T - Caledonia, MI 49316 (6.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $47.00/hr.
Everyone learns through seeing, demonstrations, examples, and practicing. If one demonstration or examples won't work, a second or third demonstration or example is needed and it may have to demonstrate differently. I'm very patient when it comes to teaching. I'm good at being creative about finding ways to teach someone so that he or she can understand. Everything starts out with passion. My passion is to help others when they are in need. When it comes to math and other subjects, I'm very capable. I graduated high school as a Salutorian and graduated college with a Magna Cum Laude.

Katrina J - Jenison, MI 49428 (9.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $55.50/hr.
Since achieving a Bachelors in Spanish at Grand Valley State University, I have worked in a human services environment. As a bilingual professional, I have the opportunity to offer services to Spanish and English speakers, aiding them in furthering their education and job search skills. In a fast-paced field, a high level of accuracy in spoken and written communication is imperative, in both English and Spanish. In obtaining a degree in Spanish, I also honed my English and literature skills. Earning my degree required a high level of literary analysis and composition. Indeed, my final coursework consisted mainly of analyzing Spanish literature and composing several lengthy papers on themes within the material. I am passionate about communication, and find the opportunity to do so in multiple languages compelling. I am flexible, able to work with people of many different learning styl
