A Little Bit About Me...

In the past, I provided education in Mathematics, English and Spanish to freshman, undergraduate students , and children.I also counseled on good studying habits, time management skills and the fundamentals of the particular subject. In addition, I assisted with tutoring eight students on a consistent basis and had a proven success evidenced by superior/ace results in all subjects taught. Lastly, I supervised and taught a student who missed half the semester and ensured that the individual aced the course.

In groups, I like to have many examples and participation from the audience. As a manager and mentor, I also prefer to teach a concept and return to it when the student has an opportunity to use it in their work. It is important to be able to adjust your teaching style to the needs of the student, and I love the challenge of being able to do this.
I have always loved to learn new things, and as a teenager wanted to be a teacher. I have a B.S. in Dietetics with a chemistry minor, as well as an M.B.A. My role as a dietitian requires the ability to teach all ages groups, with diverse backgrounds and educational levels. After completion of my MBA, I moved into a senior leadership role. In this position, I facilitated strategic planning sessions and tutored staff who were completing BS or MS degrees in English, sciences, quality, writing, and business classes.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been at Pennfield High School for almost 6 months now and I have learned how to incorporate the new standards into the curriculum. I am currently teaching part time in the Mathematics department, teaching the subjects of Geometry and Algebra. I also have spent 5 years working for the Carman Ainsworth School District as an At-Risk tutor. I have had to lower myself to the students’ level of understanding to make the subject of Mathematics make sense to each individual student. I have had the opportunity to work at different levels of education, from middle school to high school, and have realized that this is the group of children that I want to impact. My coursework at the University of Michigan-Flint has provided me with the content knowledge and methodology essential to be an effective classroom teacher.
As a teacher I believe it is my job to facilitate student lea ... read more

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 the student understands. I start where the student is and clarify areas of confusion. By explaining a new concept in several different ways, drawing on examples from the real world, and making connections to a student’s own life experience, I help students gain a better understanding of material. I frequently incorporate games and hands-on activities in my lessons because they engage students and foster learning. My goal is not only to help students excel in school, but also to instill in them a love of learning.
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 gra ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a bachelors degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. I also have additional coursework in mathematics including real analysis and statistics. I currently am attending western michigan university for a masters degree in statistics. I have experience tutoring chemistry to undergraduates. I also have a great deal of experience writing reports of a highly technical nature.
I get to know the student and assess individual understanding. Then I relate the material to the student in a way that is conducive to comprehension. Then I encourage working through problems and giving examples in a way that relates material to prior knowledge. "Perfect practice makes perfect."; I accomplish this by working through problems with the student. I believe every student can be successful, and I enjoy teaching and contributing to success.

A Little Bit About Me...

As I previously said I am good listener and Proactive person. After I talk to students ,I completely understand how much they understood the subject and help them to complete the missing concepts in their understanding. I love to make the things easier for understanding by breaking the problems in small parts and then explain parts by parts with example and eventually making students to solve the similar examples to measure the degree of their understanding. I am very calm , composed and very friendly when teaching.
As an Engineer, I have lots of understanding of both maths and science. From my experience working as Maths tutor in Department of Mathematics in Western Michigan University, I have learned to be good listener and more responsible. I love teaching and helping others. It gives me lot of satisfaction when I solve someone's problems and see the smile on their face, that t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

I have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in environmental engineering. I have two and a half years of experience teaching chemistry courses and three years of professional experience in the private industry. I am patience with the students and I encourage them to ask me questions. My philosophy is that each student has a unique way of learning and I help them to find their best way to study.
I love the one on one interaction a tutor has with the students. I believe all children have a unique style of learning and we need to help them find their own way of learning. For example some kids are visual learners, while others are hearing learners. My work as a tutor is to see which method is the best for them. I am very patience with my students. Some students just need a little bit of guidance to help raise their self esteem and I am sure with our help they ar ... read more

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 are already mastered and which ones need more practice. I work with students to help them to assess themselves so that they can be more effective learners and problem-solvers. I help students to find strategies that will help them to retain the understanding that they come to through their classroom experiences, meeting with me, and through the discoveries they make on their own. I try to ascertain what has caused the difficulty and try to problem-solve with them how the issue can be resolved. I also show students how they can prepare for future classroom lessons by previewing the material.
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 Calcul ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've always had a passion to teach. Life took me down a few different paths but I've managed to find my way back to teaching. I'm looking to pursue a Masters in order to obtain a position in the fields of teaching CAD. I enjoy teaching others because I think I have a unique connection with the way some people think. I have dyslexia, but I managed to get a 3.9 in High School, a 2.98 at Michigan Tech and currently hold a 3.85 at KVCC. I am a right brained person that can see things in different ways or am able to relate them to something else in life to get the understanding to grasp the concept that is trying to be taught/learned.
I have 5.5 years at Michigan Technological University in the studies of Mechanical Engineering. I currently take classes at Kalamazoo Valley Community College in their certification for CAD Specialists. I have substitute taught in the pass for a few month ... read more
