I have just graduated high school, and have just finished thirteen years of learning. I have ADD, and have had a semester's worth of interning at the Specialized Language Development Center, working with kids who struggle with reading, writing, and comprehension. Kids brought to the center are usually dyslexic, ADD/ADHD, or have some type of learning disability, however, those without disabilities come for help too, ranging from kindergarden all the way to college level students.

I have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a master’s degree in environmental engineering. I have three 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 are go ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher I believe it is my job to facilitate student learning by providing access to information through various sources, address different learning styles, use a variety of teaching strategies, and provide the time for students to develop the skills and knowledge essential for learning to occur. A variety of lesson plans, instructional materials, and teaching strategies are essential for today’s classrooms. Each student is a unique individual with numerous strengths and the potential for wonderful things. As an educator I believe it is essential that I use a student’s strengths to enhance their classroom performance and maximize their potential.

More About This Tutor...

One of the reasons that I'm interested in tutoring is that, although I love working with individual students and small groups, I am less interested in classroom management, discipline and the rest of the duties that come along with substitute teaching. I am excellent at relating to students and absolutely can help those who are willing to learn. I also appreciate that different students learn in different ways and strongly believe that alternative methods should be explored and encouraged if it gets a student learning. I find helping students to be extremely gratifying and am passionate about it.
As a substitute teacher for the past three years, I have experiencing teaching nearly every academic subject. I am a published playwright and have sold over fifteen short scripts for religious one-acts to the Nashville-based Belden Street Music Company. My writing and composition skills ar ... read more

As a Western Michigan University graduate, I have a strong feeling that education is the foundation that we build upon. Education is of the utmost importance these days with the world forever getting smaller and business continuing to become more global. It is in our best interests to see to it that our children of today build a firm foundation to build upon for our future. With my BS in Aviation Science and Administration, I have taken many science and math courses and written many research papers. I have a great understanding of math and science and have used this knowledge to help others build a firm foundation in math and science.
I enjoy helping children learn and realize that not all children learn the same way. I try to adapt to their learning style to make it easier for them to learn. I am patient and easy-going and enjoy the thrill when a child learns something new. ... read more

I graduated with honors from a liberal arts school with a BA in mathematics. During my time there I had also taken many science classes both biological and physical. While I was there I tutored students in math and science and ran labs for several science classes as a Laboratory Assistant. After my time there I was accepted into and began studying for a MA in mathematics at Western Michigan University where I was given an assistantship. As a Graduate assistant at WMU I have taught Algebra I and have facilitated Applied Calc Recitations, as well as tutored students a wide range of math classes.
I believe that “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” but if it won’t drink, try putting salt in its oats. Everyone can learn, but to do any significant amount of learning they need to choose to do so. As an educator I can work with students to try and make the mate ... read more

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.

Every student is different; some require more help than others. As a teacher I have to find the best way for the child to learn. I want learning to be constructive, but also fun. I have discovered through years of education, that the amount of enthusiasm from an educator can make a huge difference. Therefore as an educator, I need to be patient and always encouraging. Adding details, examples, and stories to a study subject can help many students mentally see what I’m trying to teach. I have also found from my acting classes that adding physical movement to a lesson is very powerful.
At Hope College I received a liberal arts education. So even though I have a degree in music theatre, I am also well-educated in other fields.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach as I coach, individually and with praise. Mathematics is a language, nothing more and nothing less. I teach it as a language. Learning math as a language brings tensions down and eases the students fears and inhibitions in feeling like "they should know this", no..that is not true. I ask the question...should you know how to speak French if your not from France? No? Well there is no country called mathematics so you aren't suppose to know how to speak Math, either....now are you? So...let's did in and learn this strange language they call Math.
As an undergraduate student I pursued a degree in Mathematics because I feel that math is a solid base for sound qualitative, and analytic decision making. I am now a father of (5) and a baseball coach. I am pursuing my masters in Mathematics as a continual learning lifestyle. My talents are in de-mystifying mathematical pro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent the better part of my life either in school or teaching in one form or another. I highly value both the process of learning and of passing on my knowledge. I have intend to make this my life's work and as such have almost always held teaching positions. I tutored fellow students while an undergraduate and after graduation I taught autistic students in math, reading, art, speech therapy and physical education for 5 years. Then, as a graduate student I taught Human Anatomy to undergraduates. Though my own education is in psychology and biology my years of education have provided me with a broad base in the arts, history and literature/writing as well.
I believe that teaching styles need to be flexible to the student. I have worked with a very wide variety of students, from the severely limited autistic youth to the highly gifted medical student. While approach and focus ... 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.
