Joy D. - Belmont, MI 49306 (36.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a BA in English-Writing. Throughout my classes, I have honed the skills of writing and communicating effectively, whether it be creatively or analytically, as well as expanded my knowledge of literature by taking classes such as Shakespeare and 20th Century British Literature. I am a very well-read person who has a leaning toward classic authors such as Bronte, Dumas,and Hemingway. I completed a senior honors thesis, which was 70 pages of analyzing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and continuing my own creative project, a novel in the making. This honors thesis received the Marsha Daigle-Williamson Award in English in May 2011. To go along with my English degree, I acquired a minor in History while at Spring Arbor University, which led to me tutoring an American History course. Along with this, I have published short storied and poems in smal

Cheri L - Conklin, MI 49403 (41.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $57.00/hr.
Throughout my graduate program at Western Michigan University, I taught at least one Business Statistics class per semester, was a volunteer statistics tutor for all undergraduate statistics courses, and consulted PhD students of other disciplines who needed help understanding or communicating statistics in their field. Furthermore, I worked as a part-time instructor for a semester at Kalamazoo Valley Community College teaching Mathematical Statistics. I have earned a BS and MS both in statistics, which have equipped me with an understanding in many areas of math, research, statistics, and science. In particular, I have extensive knowledge and experience in communicating mathematics (from basic algebra to advanced calculus) and statistics. I have always been passionate about teaching and helping students of all ages and educational levels. Education is a powerful and necessary tool to ac

Amanda J - Grand Rapids, MI 49505 (42.1 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I care deeply about the next generation and wish to impart on them a desire to learn. I have seen a student change from a surly individual to one who participated in class and became more consistent in homework. I believe that respect, encouragement, and care can motivate a child to go beyond his best and succeed not only in school, but also in life. Being a part of the education world is not only a huge responsibility; it is a privilege few attain with the joy I have experienced during the past few years. Groups are beneficial because there are a variety of opinions, abilities, and skill levels, thus teaching students the importance of unity in the workplace and classroom. Buddies are important because they give students someone other than the teacher to go to with questions that may seem "silly" and give them someone with whom to share concerns. Books and technology can be used to mult

Tara B - Grand Rapids, MI 49544 (42.5 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I love working with students of all ages. I believe that students have different styles of learning and all learn at their own pace. I would love to help your child find academic success. I am a patient, kind-hearted individual who can flexible to the needs of students. I think it's important to expose students to different ways of learning and help them to succeed with what approach works best for them. My goal is to help the student succeed while making a difference in their life. As a Magna Cum Laude Graduate of Grand Valley State University with a degree in English/Language Arts and a teaching certificate in Elementary Education, I was hoping to help students succeed. I have worked with students from K-12th grade by substitute teaching both long and short term. Most recently, I have been a Site Coordinator for an alternative high school after school program where I provided students

Kristy K - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (43.6 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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 work in education as a tutor and a substitute teacher, sometimes as a child care worker. Subjects: political science, biology, math through pre-calculus, accounting, English, computer technology, and a few more. I have honed my writing and research skills through my experience in my master’s program, and through a year working as a full time staff writer for a health and wellness company. My teaching experience and family have aided me in developing a teaching style that appeals to the four different types of student learners. 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 th

Tracy T - Grand Rapids, MI 49504 (44.3 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My basic belief is that as human beings, we all share the goal of being understood. This may sound rather simple, but it is basic to my philosophy. I work to ensure that each of my students feels understood; whether it's a question that they have, a goal they've set, or a frustration they've experienced.
I've found this theory to be very successful in working with elementary children, teenagers, and adults alike. In addition, the enthusiasm I feel toward the process of learning speaks for itself. There is nothing like the light in a student's eyes when the moments of understanding occurs, and when that light goes off, the person will never be the same. I specialize in language, with instruction in English, Spanish, and French. I have a passion for bringing out the best in each student.
I teach ESL to speakers whose primary language is not English, by emphasizing practical speaking ex

Rebecca L - Grand Rapids, MI 49504 (45 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $31.50/hr.
At the University of Tampa I earned a BS in Biochemistry. While completing my degree I became knowledgeable in many areas of math and science. I also gained skills in grammar while writing research papers, lab reports, and essays in various classes. I worked in the academic center for excellence on campus for two years tutoring fellow students in chemistry, biology, genetics, and mathematics. I love to help people, and I thrive in relationships with others that leave a meaningful impression on both the giver and the receiver. I personally have always tried to achieve academic excellence, and I love to assist others in doing the same. I am a good listener, patient, easy going, and understanding. I recognize that all students learn differently, and I try to tailor my teaching to the individual student's learning style and needs.
