Lauri Z - Muskegon, MI 49441 (13.5 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have a simple teaching style. I teach according to the students needs. I try to get a sense of how the student learns best and let them direct me to what they need. I teach the student to teach themselves. I have had great sucess with my approach in the past, as this is a very self-rewarding experience for the student. I have often found that students soon catch-on and then begin to excell on their own.
I have used these techniques to tutor algebra, geometry, algebra II and psychology, political science, anatomy and physiology.
I love to see that look in a students' eyes when they "get it!" I have obtained a bachelor degree in biopsychology from GVSU, which required me to learn many levels of science and math as well as anatomy and physiology. I have a deep understanding and appreciation for this field of study and have produced many reports and essays in the aforementioned f

Wesley B - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (43.2 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects and have no issue working in difficult classrooms as I have grown accustomed to such environments working in St. Louis. Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence allowi

Kristy K - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (44.3 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
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 them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter. 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

James D - Grand Rapids, MI 49507 (44.6 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $56.50/hr.
During the past 5 years I have been a substitute teacher for Kentwood Public Schools and Excel Charter School in both elementary and high school classes. This experience has given me insight into what I feel is necessary for students to prepare for the future i.e college, skilled labor, technology etc.
I have administered tests to evaluate pupil progress and issue reports to parents to discuss student progress and any problems that may exist. Students that I have tutored/mentored have become very successful in their life after graduation from H.S./College.
I know that if a child can read, and understand what they read, they can be successful in life. That is my first priorty in the education of a student.

Peter V - Wyoming, MI 49509 (46 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I enjoy working and interacting with children and young people. I seek to provide an environment of encouragement and affirmation while expecting the student to participate as best they can. I recognize that learning styles vary, the temperament of a child varies, and the uniqueness of each person factors into how they learn. I teach through interaction, illustration and humor. I strive to discover a student's strengths and build on them, affirm them, and further develop them. I have been an instructor in secondary educaiton teaching English and Speech. I have directed a leadership training program for eight years where I have instructed men and women.

Raymond N - Grand Rapids, MI 49506 (46.1 mi) - Political Science Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have taught math from grades 8 to 12 in a public high school. As a professor, I taught statistics to undergraduates in two private universities (Case Western Reserve University and Dartmouth) for a total of twelve years, and biostatistics at the graduate level at Harvard and Dartmouth for 17 years.
I have tutored students privately in math, statistics, and computer science for over 30 years.

I am a very patient person who has been called a natural teacher. I speak clearly and well. I can easily understand difficulties that students have with statistics and mathematics, and I am creative in devising appropriate techniques for mastering the subject matter. I very much enjoy teaching and my enthusiasm for my discipline is easil

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.
