Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Marion, MI

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, grader, and developer of the assignments. Since moving to the University of Utah, I have been a TA for another large lecture class where I ran smaller sections for students to come and ask questions and get homework help. I have also been an astronomy tutor. 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 y

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.

I believe that all students have the ability to learn if given the opportunity to learn. All students have different learning styles, and it is the teaches job to discover and teach students how to reach their potential. I have a friendly, firm, and fair approach with all students. I respect them, therefor they respect me. I am highly perceptive and use this as a tool when teaching students. I have a wonderful ability managing tasks, and developing valid beneficial learning experiences. I believe that students need to learn information correctly and with purpose.

I believe that each person learns differently. It is important to identify how students learn and teach them accordingly. I like to make the information practical and help students see how it relates to their field of study. I enjoy helping others learn and want them to be able to apply it. I am patient, organized and creative. I have been a nurse for 10 years, 3 of which I taught nursing. During this time I taught Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology, Trauma & Emergencies, and Pathophysiology. This experience, along with 7 years of caring for patients in the hospital, has given me the ability to help students to better understand these subjects and apply them to the clinical area. I have earned a bachelor degree in nursing in a program that emphasized presentations and computer knowledge. This gives me a better understanding to help college students with projects and presentatio

I have a BS in Mathematical Biology from U of M Ann Arbor. I held a 3.61 math GPA. I have experience tutoring highschool students in algebra II as well as college students in calculus and statistics. During the last four years I have tutored students in Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus II, and Statistics. My teaching style varies from student to student. However, the basic foundation is the same. I like to develop the fundamentals and build a foundation on top of them. I also like to see the students do a certain problem that they are struggling with in front of me. Moreover, I like them to talk out loud so I can follow their thought process and identify where they are struggling and help them better understand any steps that they have simply remotely memorized. In this manner, not only do they better understand the problem at hand, but they are also capable of tackling similar problem

I recently received my Bachelors Degree from the University of Michigan, where I studied English and Spanish. I chose a rigorous course schedule which allowed me to greatly develop my writing, editing, proofreading, and critical thinking skills. During my sophomore year of college, I began to facilitate creative writing workshops with youth and adults. This included editing and correcting for grammar as well as content, and providing useful feedback to my students. I continued with this work throughout college, and even after graduating. In addition, I taught an undergraduate course at the University of Michigan for the Program on Intergroup Relations. I was responsible planning and executing activities, teaching class sessions, and assigning and grading student projects, journals and exams for a class of 16 students. I am extremely passionate about the education of our youth, and I

In August of 2008, I was given the opportunity to teach three English courses at Mid Michigan Community College: (2) ENG 111: Freshman English Composition courses, and (1) ENG 097 course, which was designed to help struggling readers learn how to read a variety of texts throughout his/her college career. This teaching opportunity was a phenomenal experience for me, and I learned so much about myself as a teacher (i.e. strengths and weaknesses). At MMCC, I was also hired as a Writing Center Consultant. This job enabled me to work one-on-one with students regarding any difficulties they had with the writing process. When I was a junior in college, I was given the opportunity to be an ESL tutor at Mt. Pleasant High School. I was able to to tutor four different students from different places in the world (Saudi Arabia, South Korea, & Russia) and help them adapt to the English lan

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 level. 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 s

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. After graduating,I decided to continue voluntarily tutoring at a program out in Oregon. Lastly, I also feel comfortable tutoring some Spanish, as I took 6 years of Spanish in high school and a couple of courses during college. I prefer to use teaching techniques that are indiviudalized and strength-based. I enjoy building rapport with students to help identify discover their strengths and personal preferences. I

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
