Scott S. - Tecumseh, MI 49286 (26.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have been teaching at the University, Community College, High School, and Middle School levels for over twenty years now. My experience has been diverse and has been in front of diverse students. Your age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religious persuasion, etc. are what make you so unique and what I find exciting in teaching/tutoring you! Throughout these past two decades, I have encountered so many different types of thinkers, learners, people, etc., and I consider each experience to have been a mutually rewarding and educational time (After all, we are lifelong learners, who should find growth in everything in which we engage.).
Accordingly, I have enjoyed teaching a wide array of courses. which make me capable of tutoring several content areas. In literature, I have taught classes in World, American, and British Lit; additionally, I have taught genre specific courses in p

Brenda K. - White Lake, MI 48386 (40.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $27.50/hr.
I have four years of experience tutoring students K-12 in English, Science, Writing, Religion, Reading, Psychology, and beyond. In addition, I have two years of experience helping high school and college level students in test preparation and professional writing skills, in which I teach essential aspects of writing a professional style paper and teaching students the necessary strategies and skills to prepare them for anything from an English test to a Graduate Placement Exam. I believe that every individual has gifts, talents, and learning styles unique to them, so I challenge and motivate my students to meet their highest potential as independent thinkers. I have found this to be the most effective method for students in learning the subject best, being engaged in sessions, and gaining the confidence to solve tough problems and tackle challenging assignments on their own.

Amy B. - Farmington Hills, MI 48331 (40.7 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $42.50/hr.
In addition to having a Master of Arts in English Literature, I have extensive experience teaching English at the college level. I have spent the last three years as the Writing Corner Director at a Kansas community college, administering all of the writing tutoring for the college. This has provided me with extensive experience tutoring students of all ability levels. I have also worked as a freelance writer and have written for regional magazines and local newspapers, so I have journalism experience. I enjoy creative writing and was the District Seven President of Kansas Authors Club. Until recently, I ran a local writers group, hosting workshops for writers in many different genres. I am currently working on a mystery novel. My teaching style is very interactive. I like to begin a tutoring session by helping the student set a goal for the session. We then begin work on the material. D

Stefanie P - Okemos, MI 48864 (21.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $37.00/hr.
As a graduate of a writing and publishing Masters program at DePaul, I learned and practiced the art of writing in many genres including Non-Fiction, Poetry, Travel Writing, and others. I also took a course on Teaching Literature, where I learned about pedagogy and what it takes to teach literature to students. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate years of schooling, I have taken many classes that helped me work on my writing skill and production. I also spent two summers as an Instructor for a writing camp working with campers from ages 9-14; I ran a classroom where I created unique lesson plans each week in order to engage the campers in writing activities while keeping it fun in a summer camp setting. I love working with younger people who have a passion for writing. From a young age I enjoyed writing and because I have invested time in learning about and working on my writing, it

Nicholas S - Ypsilanti, MI 48197 (29 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $43.50/hr.
I believe a good instructor does not force students to become good at data recall, nor does he/she simply lord knowledge over the students and assume an ivory tower or bully pulpit mentality. Learning is an active process, one in which the student must be intimately involved. My methods draw on a relationship with the students that identifies their strengths and weaknesses, and uses each to improve the other. My goal is to make students effective at identifying what helps them learn best, so that they can become ACTIVE in the learning process. In my undergraduate studies, I volunteered as a high school athletics coach and took advantage of opportunities to lead college lectures in History, American Literature, and Philosophy. As a graduate student I continued this passion as a volunteer teacher at Community High School in Ann Arbor; there, I used my experience in athletics as a volunteer

Marilyn F - Northville, MI 48167 (35.8 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $41.50/hr.
My professional career has centered on writing, first as a reporter/editor and then in corporate public affairs, internal communications and marketing communications. Even as a writer, I was drawn to teaching others how to communicate effectively and conducted internal workshops and one-on-one tutoring for less experienced writers. On a more formal basis, I taught business writing part-time at two universities. I also have been employed as a reader for a company that grades state assessment tests, most recently fourth grade reading on the MEAP -- Michigan Education Assessment Program. To me, there is nothing more gratifying than achieving the "aha" moment when a child or adult understands a concept and can put it into practice. Because there is no single path to arriving at that moment, I believe it is necessary to understand how a student best learns and then tailor my tutoring to his o

Christine M - Northville, MI 48167 (37.5 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $46.50/hr.
I have been working in South Lyon Community Schools as a French/English teacher for the past three years. I have hands-on classroom experience with creating lessons, assigning homework, correcting student work, and managing classroom behavior I try to incorporate all types of learning styles in my teaching. I do direct instruction with guided notes, as well as a variety of different activities to help visual and auditory learners. I believe all students are capable when give the right tools to be successful. I think that by having high expectations of students and sowing them exactly what is expected of them, they can achieve.

Kristen S - Flint, MI 48532 (43.6 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I am a student advocate and a life-long learner, and I pride myself on modeling democratic values. I believe in collaborative discovery, allowing students to move at their own pace as I continually diagnose and deliver appropriate instruction. I stress individualized instruction, having taught students with different learning styles, backgrounds and needs. I appreciate each of my students, helping them to find practical use and enjoyment in the subjects I teach. My goal is to teach each student how to effectively process and meaningfully communicate any given information. It is my duty as an educator to listen to and see to the needs of each student with whom I work, and I take this duty very seriously. I have always been dedicated to academics and to communicating knowledge to others. Having earned both a BA in History and English and an MA in History, I have worked as a teacher sin

Nicholas S - Davison, MI 48423 (50 mi) - Shakespeare Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I use a variety of teaching styles while instructing students. Alternating between styles helps to keep minds engaged and participation at a maximum. When covering content I use many examples that relate to real life, that way students can relate it to something they have experienced or seen. I also like performing small-scale experiments and labs. I will use power point presentations as well as the overhead for drawings, notes, and discussion. There are many websites that I make use of, the websites that I use are usually hands on and require students to think and solve problems on their own. I have recently graduated from the University of Michigan-Flint with a Bachelor of Science and teacher certification degree. I student taught during the fall '09 semester. Student teaching provided many opportunities to work on various teaching techniques. The student teaching semester consisted of
