Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Watervliet, MI

I like teaching groups more than individual becoz group setting creates the perfect opportunity for perfecting chess (You can't be good at it without practice with the weak and strong). I had been playing and teaching chess from Kenya to USA for more about 18yrs. Chess is a game that make enhances thinking and decision-making. Just like life do, someone else gives you a puzzle and you had to figure out away how to save the situation. Chess is for heroes thinking and leaders- You can't be a hero where there are no people. It's about strategy for security. My experience and why I like chess is well-expressed in these words "Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules and take responsibility for your actions, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment." Garry Kasparov

I have been an adjunct instructor in accounting and business at KVCC for over 10 years. In addition, I have taught for Central Michigan University and Michigan State University. I have related work experience in both public and corporate accounting, including external and internal audit experience and cost accounting experience. I believe students learn accounting best by practice and so I do a lot of in-class warm-ups and exercises.

I believe that students do not learn the same way. My teaching style incorporates all learning styles. When teaching a lesson I believe in using secondary reading sources, technology, video clip and other creative outlets. I believe that you must motivate the student to learn not thrust curriculum at them hoping it will sink in. I have five years of experience working with troubled youth and students with disabilities. I have been teaching English and History education for three years. I have experience on the 7th, 8th 9th and 10th grade levels. For the last three years my high school English courses have been centered on ACT prep. for the ACT/MME students take their junior year.

I like to use a mix of direct instruction and self-guided learning in my teaching. I use a variety of hands on manipulatives and I also like to get students up and moving around. I am a recent graduate of the education program at Bowling Green State University and I have had a variety of experiences with children of all ages and abilities in and out of the classroom. I completed an 8 week field placement at Robinson Elementary in Toledo, OH where I assisted the teacher in a self-contained seventh and eighth grade classroom. I taught lessons in the areas of social studies, math and reading. I completed my student teaching placement at Elmwood Middle School in a 6th grade resource room. I taught several math units in this classroom as well as participated in an inclusion math co-teaching situation. I also taught Language arts in the resource room. Besides these two experiences I have parti

I'm an English education major currently attending Western Michigan University to earn my degree. Before starting at Western I attended Jackson College, where I excelled in my writing classes and was asked to become a writing fellow. Through this program I worked with students at the college answering questions and helping them with any and all works of writing. I also worked within a Jackson area prison helping inmates with various writing and English related issues. Before I began tutoring I wrote for my local newspaper for two years. First I was a part of a teen issues column, but was asked to continue to write even after the column was over. Writing and English are my passion and I really love helping others to enjoy it as much as I do. I like to work one on one with students, however I'm open to group settings. I'm adaptive to how the student learns and try to work from there.

I adapt my style to what best fits the student. I am a mother of four successful children. I taught each of my kids to read before they entered kindergarten. Some of my children have ADD and dyslexia and I am knowlegeable as to the struggles these children have and how to help them achieve their goals. My education and career were centered around writing and communication and I have maintained those skills. I also hav special training and years of experience in tutoring children with learning disabilities.

Student needs based. Assessment drives my instruction. Twenty-years of teaching in the public schools. Experience with grades first to sixth. I have used multiple intelligences in lesson plans. I have created and developed lessons that touch on all learning styles. I have worked in low socio economic areas where the students face poverty, crime, and broken families. Education is their way out and my experience has always centered on what each learner needs to be successful.

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 going to be well prepared for college. 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

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 think it is very important to meet the student at their level of interest and need. If the primary goal is simply getting enough experience to do well on a test or excel in a class, I focus on nemonic aids or other techniques (depending on the students learning style) to ensure success with this shorter term goal. If the student has a thirst for knowledge and wishes to explore the language in more depth, I am also very willing to take them on a journey through all of its intricacies. The point is to not force my own interests and expectations on the student, but to meet them where they stand. I also believe strongly in presenting new information in plain language, often employing the use of easily relatable metaphors to explain abstract concepts. Despite my love of grammar, I also find hands on experience with the target language to be indispensable. For example, when drilling ne

As I speak 4 languages I have experienced many styles of teaching (and learning), that is why it is easy for me to teach what I know using the techniques I have seen in Germany and France. I have experience teaching English and German (I am a Spanish native speaker though). My best talent is the writing and that is of a great help when it comes to teaching a language. I taught English in Colombia and Spanish in Germany which gave me the experience necessary to transmit what I know in the best way possible. I learnt German in Germany to an extend that I helped my friends to improve theirs. I know the difficulties of the German language and based on my own learning experience I can teach that language knowing how to tackle those difficulties.

Mandarin Chinese is my passion; after spending nearly five years immersed in the Chinese culture studying, living and working in Taiwan, I've returned my homeland and am ready to impart my knowledge of this incredible people, their history, and their language. I have extensive experience as a language tutor, and have successfully taught all ages and ranges of fluency, from 3 years old to 30. As a student of Mandarin later in life, I have the privilege of knowing what my students experience and what they're up against when learning this fascinating and wildly different language. Based on the student's goals, I piece together a curriculum that could be solely verbal communication or entirely written comprehension, or a solid mixture of all forms.
