mark s - plainwell, MI 49080 (5.4 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $35.50/hr.
In my career in automotive plastics, I coached or taught manufacturing principles to improve quality and efficiency. My demonstrated success is due in part to my efforts to educate and coach operators, engineers and managers to understand the basic principles of chemistry, math and engineering to buy into a logical course of action.
I have also greatly enjoyed my voluntary participation as a youth football coach. I have coached 8-12 year olds the last 5 years. It is very fulfilling to demonstrate and coach new skills to children to develop an organized team. I have a BS in chemical engineering. I have 13 years of applying engineering and project management principles in the automotive plastics industry. A key to my success is influencing people by explaining "why" and "how" something should be done to develop partnerships leading to increased cooperation and advocacy.

Deborah D - Richland, MI 49083 (11.5 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I most enjoy working with students on a one-to-one basis, or in a small group. I believe each student wants to achieve to the best of his or her ability. It is my opinion that the student does not fail -- rather, the school often fails the student. I will work with your student in a positive, encouraging atmostphere that will help them do their best. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Magna Cum Laude, from Western Michigan University, majoring in History and minoring in Political Science. In addition, I have earned twenty-seven credit hours in English composition and writing courses. I have tutored at the college level, have volunteered in elementary classrooms as a reading and phonics coach, and have taught Latin with the Memoria Press homeschool curriculum materials. I am the mother of three grown children, two currently in college.

Emma L - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (13.7 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
As a civil engineering graduate, I spent a lot of time working with mathematics and achieving a higher level of education. I have always enjoyed working with kids especially in mathematics and athletic activities. I have tutored many college students as well as younger students in various subjects including math, English, biology, physics, and graphic design. I really enjoy working with children in various subjects and activities. I believe all children have a different way of learning and can all find a way that best suites them. My teaching style is based on how the student learns best and what their interests are. I like to incorporate my excitement to teach because students tend to be more interested in learning when you are interested in who they are. I really stress hard work and fun into my lessons so that students will not only learn a lot, but remember it as well.

Brian B - Kalamazoo, MI 49007 (14.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have 20+ years experience in the computer field and I had a 3.0 average in general studies. I have a BS in computer science and an AAS in microcomputer technology. Most of my education was self taught beyond high school. I've also tutored and mentored school age children for approximately four years when in college. All math and science subjects were from high school from basic math to calculus, trigonometry, and basic geometry. Physical and earth sciences are also strong suites. I can also give students better study skills and memory retention techniques to aid in obtaining higher grades in K-12 and some post-secondary education. My style of teaching is repetition of material focusing on specific areas where the student is having problems. One on one approach until the lesson is grasped by the student has proven to work more than group settings. Once the area of concern is lea

Janet S - Kalamazoo, MI 49007 (14.9 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I am an Ivy League Graduate with Doctoral level graduate Studies from Indiana University. My minor for each of my study areas is Psychology. I have taught multiple subjects in academic, corporate, public service, K-12, and Emergency Medical Services and have been in training and education all of my professional career, currently tutoring in the Kalamazoo Public School systems. My academic work has been published and I have been a newsletter editor and free lance writer. Opening doors and creating joy in learning is what I genuinely enjoy about teaching. Leading my students to see the world and themselves in new ways is one of the most satisfying aspects of the task. I teach with humor and compassion, but encourage self discipline and striving for personal best in each of my students. I believe that every person has the capacity to learn and teach critical and analytical skills, beca

Theresa M - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (14.9 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I started tutoring math as an 8th grade student, and tutored consistently for the next 10 years. I tutored math from 4th grade up through Calculus. I graduated magna cum laude from Dominican University with a B.S. with Distinction in Math and from NIU with a M.S. in Math. I have always excelled at school, so I would help with any subject. I am certified through the State of Illnois to teach math and history at the middle school and high school levels. I have taught 4th grade through 8th grade math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trignometry, and introductory college classes in the Chicagoland area. Students find me very engaging and easy-going, but they also realize that in order to have a deep understanding they need to work diligently. The ultimate goal is for students to be able to learn without needing my help. Because mathematics builds on what is already known, I find what skills

James G - Kalamazoo, MI 49007 (15.6 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $52.50/hr.
I have two children ages eight and five. We learn with each other through discovery, often turning to our dictionaries and computers for information. I think that the greatest skill for one to learn is to be able to seek information that can be synthesized into the answer that is needed. I use constructive criticism, making statements that demonstrate why an answer or line of thinking is incorrect without implying that the learner is somehow less valuable for having come to an incorrect conclusion. I think that it is very important to build a student's confidence in themselves because it is only with self-confidence that one can graduate to self-efficacy. I am an entrepreneur with four years experience at organizing and operating a non-profit organization. My organization develops affordable, democratically controlled housing in downtown Kalamazoo.

Ryan S - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (16.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I enjoy working with young children and high school kids. I believe that it is important to get anyone I teach to be active in the education they are recieving. I believe that by showing a kid how to do something, then having them teach it back to me will help to stimulate them and retain the information. I think that everyone has the potential to become a great student if given the right mentorship. As a student at Western Michigan University I was able to achieve a 3.6 Grade point average. With a BS in Exercise Science I am currently on my way to Northwestern in September to study Physical Therapy. I have alot of knowledge in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Anatomy and Physiology, and Psychology. Over the past year and a half I have volunteered my time to help fellow students improve in thier studies and achieve their goals. I have volunteered to help students in Physi

Randi M - Kalamazoo, MI 49006 (16.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I enjoy breaking difficult subjects into more easily-processed steps. I am willing and able to work with students who are disillusioned and frustrated. I strongly believe that anyone can succeed and approach any subject matter. Tutors, teachers, and parents need to look beyond present hurdles and see the ability that resides in all students to succeed and be confident. Once children see their work start to pay off they develop self-esteem and self-esteem enables them to start taking on more and more challenges. This affects their academics as well as other areas of their lives. As a recent graduate of the Comparative Religion MA program at Western Michigan University I am eager to begin a career in the field of academics. I believe that tutoring would be a great way for me to develop my teaching skills and also to share the knowledge that I have had imparted to me from important me

Scarlett R - Kalamazoo, MI 49001 (16.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I have a year of experience working with at-risk students as a high school reading intervention teacher in an urban school. At the beginning of the year, my students were reading at anywhere from a first grade to an eighth grade reading level. By the end of the year, some students had increased their reading by up to three grade levels. For my work as a sixth grade mathematics and social studies intern in Delaware, Ohio, I received the honor of Student Teacher of the Year from the Ohio Association of Teacher Educators. My years of tutoring experience helped me to become a successful classroom teacher. I have tutored students in first through twelfth grades in subjects ranging from reading to chemistry to ACT preparation. My objective as a tutor is to increase students’ confidence in their ability to discover and understand the world around them. I immediately try to identify what

I believe that all students have an individualized learning style and I like to find that out first. I make a learning plan based on the student's needs and develop strategies for teaching based on the learning style assessment. I have been a Reading Interventionist for my local school district and left that job to complete my student teaching. I have been tutoring for about 4 years and have working knowledge of helping students with special needs learn.

Diana F - Kentwood, MI 49508 (19.5 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I was a Missionary in Panama for fourteen years. Learned Spanish through a two-year course in the country. As a missionary, I went on to teach Literacy and Bible to indigenous peoples there.
After coming home stateside, although not certified, I earned extra income by giving classes in English to Hispanics in my home. I also taught English to monolingual Hispanics through an Afterschool program in Northeast Elementary, Jackson, MI.
I worked as a Paraeducator in Northeast Elementary, as a General Education Paraeducator, but I often subbed for regular ESL teacher aides in the classroom.
In General Ed, I often got to tutor reading groups with Hispanic children at the teacher's request. I enjoy helping people learn English. Have a lot of understanding and compassion of what it means to learn a foreign language, as I have learned two. I have also lived as an expatriate in a foreign co
