Melissa V. - Lowell, MI 49331 (15.3 mi) - GED Tutor - $37.50/hr.
All students learn best in various ways. I create lessons for the specific needs of each student. I am a college graduate of Central Michigan University with a degree in Elementary Education, a major in science and minor in English. I have obtained 22 credits of my masters degree in Teacher Leadership for School Improvement and am 1 course away from my Reading Endorsement. I am also ESOL certified.
I am a certified teacher and experienced tutor. I have experience teaching 4th and 5th grades, all subject areas, reading intervention for 2nd and 3rd grade, and reading and math tutoring experience all the way from pre-k through 9th grade. My reading graduate courses have given me great knowledge and understanding about reading difficulties, diagnoses and solutions. My years in the classroom have given me plenty of experience with various ways of teaching math “outside the box.”

Sheri S. - Wyoming, MI 49519 (32 mi) - GED Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I adapt my teaching style to the student. Every person learns differently; I generally try to find an entertaining way of teaching the material. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice. I originally majored in English, as that is where most of my talent lies. I wrote several articles for my high school newspaper, have published poetry pieces, and edit reports and resumes regularly for a number of people.

Linda W - Grand Rapids, MI 49546 (23.9 mi) - GED 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

Jon S - Hastings, MI 49058 (24.8 mi) - GED Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I am happily retired at a relatively young age and am seeking an outlet for my skills and abilities that can benefit others. My greatest joy is spending time with our 6 grandchildren, as I have always liked kids. I have trained employees in both manual labor and on-the-job customer service and sales. In addition, I was responsible for coordinating training programs for in plant positions like hi-lo driving and safety as well as Adult Education (Speed Reading, English as a Second Language, etc.).
I held a sales position for 25 years and possess strong people skills and problem solving and conflict resolution abilities. While enrolled at Davenport University in 2008-2009, I received a 4.0 GPA that included a Training and Development course.

Annalisa D - Grand Rapids, MI 49525 (26.4 mi) - GED Tutor - $33.50/hr.
As an educator, I have had many opportunities to work with various different students. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education and a master's degree in teaching with an emphasis in learning disabilities. I have taught secondary special education for 5 years, focusing on math, reading, and writing. I have also privately tutored students of all ages and abilities in math, reading, and writing. I have excellent success in helping students improve their skills, often beyond what is generally expected of them. It is difficult for me to say which age of student I love working with because each student I have worked with from age 6 - 25 has been very rewarding. I am very patient and work diligently to find creative strategies and approaches to teaching. I believe that all children should be encouraged to meet their potential by gentle en

Kristy K - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (27.5 mi) - GED Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter. As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also currently

Nancy R - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (28.9 mi) - GED Tutor - $36.00/hr.
My teaching style is simply to provide an environment that is conducive to learning – one which supports collaboration and teamwork, student-centricity, personalization, fun, and humor. I am committed to providing the highest quality education for my students.
Each individual learns differently, and I have come to accept that I can't entirely please each and every individual in the classroom (especially when I have over 200 students). I have also come to accept that not every student will "like me". As an instructor, it is my role to present information in a way so students learn. I have realized that students learn, not because they think I am "cool", but rather because the information was presented to accommodate each and every learning style. Therefore, I try to use a variety of different mediums (e.g., visual, audio, etc.) when presenting the class material. As the eldest daughter
