Alan L. - Battle Creek, MI 49015 (42.1 mi) - Computer Tutor - $20.00/hr.
I believe in starting from the beginning and taking one step at a time, and not moving on to the next step until the current one is understood -- a surprisingly uncommon approach. I am very skilled at figuring out what a student isn't getting, and helping them get it, and I believe every student can get it. I am a very relaxed, easygoing person, and don't get stressed or thrown by a non-comprehending student. I have two years of experience as a GED tutor, and have graduated 12 students in that time.
I have been a computer programmer for 40 years, including 18 years as a freelance programmer.
I have dabbled in writing over the years, writing poems, short stores and vignettes. In the past three years I have begun focusing more on writing, and am 2/3 through a novel. I have studied communication, language and writing extensively on my own, and have written a grammar textbook, which I have

Dean S - Grand Ledge, MI 48837 (11.7 mi) - Computer Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Growing up in a family that did not value an education, I saw education as a way to make a better life for my self than gangs, drugs, and violence. I am the only one in my family to graduate from high school, then college. I firmly believe that education makes a person better by pursuing it. I achieved an Associates in Science, then two Bachelors of Science degrees. In addition, I earned various certifications in Environmental Health due to my job experiences. I have tutored many science classes, math, algebra, history, archery, martial arts, outdoor survival techniques and wildlife studies. I have also tutored students in the art of playing musical instruments. I am an essentialist in philosophy, meaning I want the student(s) to learn material that is relevant to their experiences and that they can find useful to their lives. I want to engage them in their learning so that they c

Anthony P - Lake Odessa, MI 48849 (26.5 mi) - Computer Tutor - $33.50/hr.
I truly believe that as an educator you must establish a connection with your students. This not only builds a great relationship, but also helps to develop a real understanding of your students and develop the best way to teach them through differentiation and accomodations. I have learned over the years that you can't teach all students in the same way, and I have become very good at altering my teaching style to best fit the needs of my students. I have had many experiences in education both during and after my college education. I have been put into many situations that have required using much of the curriculum content, classroom management, and lesson plan developing skills that I have acquired. I have a major in science, but I also have extensive mathematical skills due to the many math classes I have taken for my BS and while currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Accounting

Brad F - Battle Creek, MI 49014 (34.3 mi) - Computer Tutor - $39.00/hr.
One of the reasons that I'm interested in tutoring is that, although I love working with individual students and small groups, I am less interested in classroom management, discipline and the rest of the duties that come along with substitute teaching. I am excellent at relating to students and absolutely can help those who are willing to learn. I also appreciate that different students learn in different ways and strongly believe that alternative methods should be explored and encouraged if it gets a student learning. I find helping students to be extremely gratifying and am passionate about it. As a substitute teacher for the past three years, I have experiencing teaching nearly every academic subject. I am a published playwright and have sold over fifteen short scripts for religious one-acts to the Nashville-based Belden Street Music Company. My writing and composition skills are part

Cliff W - Chelsea, MI 48118 (36 mi) - Computer Tutor - $40.50/hr.
While an undergraduate at Michigan Technological University, I often helped fellow students with their physics or math homework.

Heather S - Battle Creek, MI 49014 (37.9 mi) - Computer Tutor - $36.50/hr.
As a current student at Central Michigan, I continue to strive for the best education I can possibly achieve. I have clepped out or aced all english classes at the college level and have found a great interest in writing and reading papers and essays. I am extremely familiar with both APA and MLA writing styles and have had numerous hours and years of practice writing papers and essays for my college level courses. I received a 1 on my MEAP writing and a 30 on my ACT writing/English section. Al though I have never technically tutored or taught a child writing, I am interested in helping aid a child's learning experience. I am extremely personable and social, and would get along great with any child. I am patient, understanding and eager to provide my extensive knowledge of writing to those that need help.

Michelle W - Howell, MI 48843 (38.1 mi) - Computer Tutor - $63.50/hr.
My teaching style is one of kindness and candor. I also believe that as a teacher, one has to command the audience they are teaching to in order for learning to take place. I have a lot of experience with children of several backgrounds and learning styles. I believe that one person can make the difference in the life of another person. I am a person that does not rest on her laurels. I am always striving to learn new things and have new experiences. I have 11 years teaching experience with Garden City Public Schools in a variety of subjects and elementary grades. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Science, a teaching certificate and a Master's Degree in Teaching and Learning. I have the knowledge and experience that it takes to help others achieve their life goals.

Benjamin P - Pinckney, MI 48169 (38.6 mi) - Computer Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I went to school at EMU with the intention of getting a doctorate in Physics, to teach at the college level. I ended up getting a job in IT at the University, and found I enjoy this just as much. While a student, I volunteer tutored for the Society of Physics Students, and I tutor all the student employees I have when they are taking physics classes. I love teaching, and the students that I have tutored have excelled under my supervision. I try my best to make the student figure things out on their own, by giving simple guiding questions or comments. I do not like to simply do the problems for them, as I find most people do not learn well this way. I am patient and empathetic, and I understand what it is like to approach a problem from the position of a student who is confused or unsure. I try to give them the tools to understand basic problem solving and critical thinking.

Darcey F - Battle Creek, MI 49015 (41.1 mi) - Computer Tutor - $40.00/hr.
As a teacher I believe it is my job to facilitate student learning by providing access to information through various sources, address different learning styles, use a variety of teaching strategies, and provide the time for students to develop the skills and knowledge essential for learning to occur. A variety of lesson plans, instructional materials, and teaching strategies are essential for today’s classrooms. Each student is a unique individual with numerous strengths and the potential for wonderful things. As an educator I believe it is essential that I use a student’s strengths to enhance their classroom performance and maximize their potential. I have been at Pennfield High School for almost 6 months now and I have learned how to incorporate the new standards into the curriculum. I am currently teaching part time in the Mathematics department, teaching the subjects of Geometry

Karen G - St Charles, MI 48655 (41.7 mi) - Computer Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As an older recent graduate I have experienced how hard it can be to get a bachelor degree and raise a family at the same time. To be committed to both made me who I am today. I take great pride in the accomplishments I have succeeded in.
I take just as much pride when tutoring children, their success is the most important accomplishment that can be achieved for all involved. I currently am working as a teacher for summer school. I enjoy walking in the school everyday and working with the students, helping them find academic success while having fun at the same time. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the right learning experiences.
I love working with children one on one or in a group. I have found most children learn by hands on. I love to do experiments with students or fun games to make their learning a little easier.
I am patient, easy going and

I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science from Grand Valley State University in 2008, and has equipped me with the knowledge of many applications of biological and physical sciences.
I worked in a research lab in college and was responsible for training new students. In addition I acted as the supervisor of the laboratory for a group of high school interns, working to advise them on their research projects and educate them on basic laboratory protocols.
After graduation, I accepted a job where I acted as a laboratory manager, directly training new staff laboratory techniques.

Daniel O - Battle Creek, MI 49014 (42.7 mi) - Computer Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I create a positive atmosphere and help students to be responsible
first to themselves and then to their community. I also try to make my students aware of their potiential and guide them in processing information by first understanding the context in which it is used. Then I like to use visuals in my teaching style. I prefer to start with testing of some kind to assess the developmental level of the student. My teaching experience began with my work with troubled youth in Michigan. I worked with the Fine Arts Team using the arts to teach visually. I also used positive Peer Culture for helping students to deal with their problems. I slso taught history at the school. I have 8 years experience; I worked for WSI teacher staffing for 3 yrs. and 5 yrs. for the Battle Creek School System in grades K-12 in most subjects

Dani W - Flushing, MI 48433 (42.9 mi) - Computer Tutor - $56.00/hr.
Teaching mainly K-8 on a consistent schedule, I have learned that some students need one-on-one teaching. Being the third teacher in Head Start, I had time to work with individual students. All children were very well prepared for kindergarten. The older children, including High School and Middle School, I would walk around the room and aide them when they were confused. I also had them read the text orally taking turns and we would do the work sheet to prepare for quiz, test or new chapter.
I am very patient with those who are truly in need of assistance. I have tutored in the past in phonics for those having difficulty reading and pronouncing letters. I recently have spent the last six months in the Head Start Program as a center teacher. We prepare them for kindergarten. I have taught all grade levels. I currently have a BA with a concentration in K-8 education. Due to online cla
