Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake City, MI

After receiving a BS in Psychology from Michigan State University in 1991, I put my analytical skills and nurturing personality to work as an ACT and SAT coach. During forays into the corporate world over the next several years, I continued to tutor part-time, eventually helping to found Advantage Education® in 1997. Since then, I have worked with thousands of high school students in both a private and classroom setting, helping them to maximize their ACT and SAT scores. My sense of humor and down-to-earth style allow me to connect with my students and make learning fun.

Students should come to me with problems, questions, and having tried to understand the material first. Questions are important to me because they help give a sense of where you are getting confused and stuck. Physics and Mathematics are difficult, and there is no such thing as a stupid question. Ideally, students will do reading, and then work through concepts and problems with me, where I help when stuck and point out mistakes. Began as a Teaching Assistant (TA) in the Michigan Technological Universities (MTU) physics department as a physics lab TA for 3 years. Then I helped develop an Astronomy Lab and was the lab TA for a year. I then was a TA for a large lecture physics class for engineering students where I helped students on a 1-1 basis and helped the professor manage the class. In my final years as a Masters student at MTU, I helped run the online astronomy class and was the TA,

I began my teaching experience as a teacher assistant at a pre-school program in undergraduate school.While at undergraduate school, I also was asked by a professor to become the tutor for two of his courses. Furthermore, I also voluntarily tutored individuals who were trying to obtain their GED. After undergraduate school, I continued teaching children at a school for children with developmental and physical disabilities. While in graduate school, I was asked to tutor 2 courses.

I am a retired special ed teacher. I worked with Learning Disabled, Emotionally Impaired, Cognitively Impaired, and Austistic students primarily in the high school. I was an Assistant Principal in a middle school for four years, and a teacher consultant for 30 years. In my role as a teacher consultant, I tutored students primarily in the high school. For the past 30 years, I have worked with special needs students. I believe that students learn at their educational level. The problem with education today, is that students are often in classrooms that stress learning at their frustration level. Many students are in general ed settings, but are forced to use materials that they do not fully understand. In my role as a teacher consultant, I adapted materials so the students could understand it. If chosen as a tutor, I would do the same so the students would learn at their education

I enjoy helping junior high and high school students excel in all their subjects. Particularly, I feel it's important to relate their current studies to real life situations to help them understand the link between the theoretical material and practical solutions. I have tutored math and science for high school children at the West Midland Family Center for two years and am currently tutoring all five of my children in all subjects. One of the key motivators for learning is the link between theoretical math or science topics and everyday problems that a student can solve using these skills. For example, to help a geometry student understand the significance of the area of a prizm, I asked him to consider how much paint he needs to buy if he wants to re-paint his room. A max/min calculus solution can help select the minimum fence length to create the largest yard for a dog. I also t
