My comments on tutoring Homework Help : I have taught elementary, middle, and high school. I am currently teaching psychology at a community college. My experience in education has given me a broad perspective and appreciation for all students at all levels of learning. I am very organized, a people person, and highly motivated. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling, which has helped me to understand the needs of my students so that I can better assist them in the learning process.

I have my BA in social science and a Master's in counseling. I have been in the field of education for twenty years. I have taught in mostly middle and high school and am currently teaching psychology at Mid Michigan Community College. I have worked with youth in many different capacities. I have worked with 4-H, public schools, college, and volunteered in many areas. I am dedicated to and passionate about education and the process of learning. I have good realtionships with my students and they trust that I have their best interests at hand. While I understand that learning is serious, it should also be fun. I value the importance of learning and believe that I convey that to those I teach.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a creative teacher. I love to design my own lessons to engage students and compliment their learning styles. I have experience teaching traditional classrooms, but my passion is non-traditional education. I love working one-on-one with students or in small groups.
I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with a degree in Secondary Education and am certified in the State of Michigan to teach 6-12th grade English and math. Along with completing student teaching, I have substitute taught in various districts as well as tutored homeschool students. I volunteer at my church as a Sunday School teacher, and during college I participated as a conversation partner in the English as a Second Language program.

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 energetic. I strive to make a difference in all of my students lives.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been told that my classroom does not need a teacher's desk. This is probably due to my high energy, fact paced teaching style. I love using music and technology to get the students interested. I also like to relate English to their lives and show them how they need it. Yes you may walk past my classroom and hear rap music but, that is strictly to show the students how tools of education are used in their everyday lives.
I have taught 6-12th grade English for three years. While teaching in Detroit I was the lead teacher heading the tutoring program for MEAP preparation. I have also prepared North Carolina students for ACT and SATs.

My teaching style would be to find the student's primary learning style and converting the information he or she needs into a format that fits that learning style. Each subject would be made as visible or concrete as possible, so that the student could interact with the material on more than just a visual/conceptual level. Showing the student how the material can relate to real-life situations and opportunities would be a vital part of the instruction.
After high school, I recognized in myself a desire to work with elementary- and high school-aged children. I have always been at the top of my classes and was heading for an engineering school before I discovered a love for helping kids. I do not have any teaching experience but I spent many summers working with these age groups at camp and enjoy interacting with them. I also easily understand most high school subjects and enjoy h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Broadcasting and English. My educational and career background gave me confidence and experience in research, writing,and communicating with people. Also, I have over 8years teaching experience in the school and childcare setting for students ages 4-6. I have taught language arts, science, and math and tutored in reading.
I consider it an honor and a pleasure to teach children. I enjoy making learning fun, creative, and engaging for students. I think it is important to be flexible in individualizing lesson plans because all children learn differently. Promoting an atmosphere of children encouraging one another and building each other up in all areas of learning leads to social and academic success.

I enjoy working with all ages of people. I find it more beneficial and rewarding for the student and myself to work one on one in a tutoring situation. Focusing on the student or learner is very important. I have found that each person learns in a different way. I believe in assessing the learner/student to see how they might be a better learner and formulate lessons or guide the process that way. Being student centered is important. Every student can learn but it is the teachers responsibility to guide, teach, and implement the learning towards the student. Over the years that is what I have tried to focus on and practice with any age group I have worked with.
I have seven years teaching experience in various grades. These experiences have been in either a public or parochial school setting. While working in these schools I have worked as director of a whole school Christ ... read more

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 try to approach teaching the same concept from several different angles. Each student will have their own process of internalizing a specific concept and it's just a matter of finding the right path to get him or her to understand. Often the one-on-one tutoring experience offers the opportunity for such an interaction that may not be possible in a class room setting.
I enjoy helping junior high and high school students excel in ... read more

I am extremely passionate about the education of our youth, and I believe that it is the foundation of a growing society. I have worked with children in urban high schools and juvenile facilities, and I have thus learned to appreciate the difference that a dedicated teacher can make in an environment that does not lend itself to learning and growth. In addition, I have worked with adults who did not have the opportunity to receive a quality education in their youth. Their willingness and excitement to learn was inspiring. I believe it there is an innate desire to learn and acquire knowledge in most children and adults. I am a person who was privileged to receive a quality education, and this provided me with the skills to engage people in learning, attempt to understand their needs, and push them to meet their potential.
I recently received my Bachelors Degree from the Universit ... read more

I feel if that you really want to learn a subject, that you should try teaching it. I am very friendly and laid back. I try to instill humor and life experiences with my teachings to help the children relate to me or the materials. I love the look of child when the wheels are turning in thier head. I believe that all children have a chance for higher education.
