American History Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waldron, MI

I pride myself on being innovative and tailoring teaching to the needs and interests of my students. An ability to relate the material to one's life and take ownership over your learning is the core of my teaching philosophy; therefore, I teach in a manner that best enable my student(s) to maximize this goal. Learning should be an experience, and I strive to develop activities and approaches to make this experience a pleasant and engaging one. My classes are fun. The activities are not wastes of time, and the end result is measurable growth in the subject area. My best quality is my ability to adapt and think on the fly. This means that I can address concerns and issues as they manifest; also, it means that I am not locked into one way of doing something. This means that on a given day, I can adjust the manner and method of instruction to suit the needs and interest of my stud

I would say that it is a little more toward laid back. Being over 6" tall, stocky, pushing hard, being an ogre, hard-nosed, that isn't going to work for me. People have a tendency to be a bit intimidated and fearful because of my size. I will use it to my advantage if it is necessary, or becomes necessary, but I've found being a little more quiet, reserved and coaxing the student to initiate the discussion is a little better. Ask leading questions, adjust and proceed, based on their response. I have received degrees in Int'l Business from Lourdes College, as well an Associates Degree in Accounting from Owens Community College. While with the Ohio Air National Guard, participated in the Mentoring program with Township Elementary, Swanton Local Schools for five(5)-years. I enjoyed working with the students, helping those that needed a little extra attention. I enjoy reading, writing, learn

I believe that the purpose of education, in any field, is to train the mind to think. With this goal, I approach tutoring with a desire to understand where each student is coming from and to help them figure out how to make their studies more interesting and applicable to life. Sometimes only personal attention is needed to truly reach a student, sometimes differant ways of practice, or ways of considereing the work need to be learned. In any situation, I am committed to helping each student to grow as a person and then as an academic. As a graduate of Hillsdale College, I have been ingrained with a need for education to be applicable to the specific student and to widen his or her ability to observe, analyze, and draw conclusions. Majoring in English, I greatly appreciate the ability and discipline of language - vocablary, grammar, and syntax - to focus the mind and to aid communication

Young people learn through different ways and means. I try to discern the best method to instruct any particular student with whom I am tutoring at the time. I like to give examples of problems, and "problem solve" with the student through illustrative examples on paper or on the board. I encourage questions and feedback to ensure that the young person is indeed learning "how" to solve a problem, not simply to "get" a solution. A student's practical demonstration of problem solving is the best gauge to determine if that student is indeed learning or not. While giving instruction, I strive to be patient, accomodating and respectful of the student in need. I love to give encouragement and praise for any task or assignment done well! In 1992 I graduated from Bowling Green State University (BGSU) with a degree in music education, vocal and trumpet emphasis. Since then, I have been emp

I am a graduate of Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in English. In addition to studying English I also studied fine arts (painting, drawing, art history) and Spanish. I have tutored students from ages 5-18 in all subjects including English (reading and grammar), math, social studies, and science. My reading and grammar skills are helpful in all subjects because I am able to take apart sentences and paragraphs so that it is easier for students to understand. With my English background I am very helpful with reading assignments and book reports. I can help students with writing and editing papers as well as recognizing plot, themes, and motifs in stories, novels, and poems. I love teaching students of all ages and I recognize that most students do not get the help they need during the school day, which is why it is important for them to get the help they need outside of class.

I love helping people learn, especially kids. My mother is a teacher, and emphasized the importance of an education throughout my childhood. I have grown up with the benefits of a healthy learning environment, and I think every child deserves the same. I am friendly, patient, and relate well to children. I have a younger sister in high school and many of her friends' parents have come to me for help with their child's education. I have provided the positive, role model-like relationships that have enabled me to establish a rapport with them over time. I believe that for students to succeed in school, they must have a desire to learn as well as a support system that values education. If both of those things exist, success is inevitable. I value education to the highest degree. I graduated in May earning a BA in Business Administration with dual concentrations in Sports Management and Mar

While pursuing my MA in Medieval Studies, an interdisciplinary degree combining history and literature, I was able to teach six sections of Medieval 145: Heroes and Villains. The sections averaged 40 undergraduate students of various ages and I enjoyed sharing my love of history and literature with them. At the same time, I was able to help shape their writing and research skills. I learned the ever-important lesson: if you can research it, you can teach it! In high school, my BA studies, and my MA studies, I earned top grades in all my history and English classes. My teaching experience at Western Michigan University left me with a deep desire to continue teaching. I am a very enthusiastic teacher. I love my subjects and want, above all, to instill in my students a love of learning. I believe that all children can be enthusiastic about learning if a patient teacher or tutor is wi

As the child of teachers, I learned the value of a good education early in life. With my parents' guidance and encouragement, I obtained both a BS and a PhD in Chemistry (which included a Study-Abroad stint in the Netherlands). Following my time in Europe, I pursued a 25-year industrial chemistry career that was centered on the automotive, specialty chemical and building material industries. Additional activity in overseas technical transfers and global business has enhanced my communications skills (e.g., university-level funding proposal preparation). Over the past four years, my passion for education has led me to teach and tutor community college students in mathematics, chemistry and other physical sciences. My broad experience has allowed me to relate well to students as I am able to offer illustrative examples from industry to aid the learning process. My teaching style is par

Being a Priest has enabled me to work very well with all children, no matter how young. I use Flash cards , Crossword puzzle,Worksheets, etc to help teach kids. Most students enjoy this form of education, both as stress reduction measure yet teaching them the basics. I believe that every child has the ability to succeed, if given the right attitude. I am patient, humorous and fun to be with.I love to take them to the Library. I love one to one style, as this enables me to know the level of understanding of the kids. As a Priest from Nigeria, I have been involved in education both in Africa and in the USA. I moved to the States, in 2001 and have vast experience in coaching and mentoring young people in their studies.

Very hands on with a strict demeanor initially that I relax as I gain my students mutual respect. I believe in differentiating instruction as every student learns and retains information in different ways and the best way, in my mind, to teach a student is by covering as many of the multiple intelligences as possible with a focus on that particular students specific strengths and learning style. I recently received my Bachelors degree in High School Ed with a focus on social studies and I am currently in the process of receiving a Bachelors in history at the end of this semester as well. I also am enrolled in the Graduate program at Lourdes to receive my endorsement to teach K-12 Reading. I also was a certified child care administrator for the YMCA for 6 months in 2006 but had to step down due to my student teaching responsibilities.
