Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Michigan

The original meaning of the word "Doctor" was teacher. As a psychiatrist, I have learned to first listen to my patients and then teach them how to find the solutions to their problems. I bring this art of listening and teaching to my non-clinical work.... In order to learn a subject, the student must find something interesting or relevant in it. He does not need to like the subject or enjoy it. He only needs to understand to have the subject related to something in his own life. We learn by making connections.

...Creative Writing, and Screen Arts and Cultures. As a tutor, I have helped students in K-12 improve their reading and writing skills. I am a writer myself, so I am passionate about helping students develop their creative and academic writing skills. I am a strong believer in interactive arts based learning, so my teaching style...

It's a lot easier to learn - and to tutor -- if both of the participants are smiling.

...material, and learn the most effective way to prepare for the test. My subjects include ACT/SAT prep, Algebra I and II, Statistics, Psychology, and many others. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in scheduling a tutoring session. I'm available for sessions online and in person, on afternoons, weeknights, and weekends.... To put it briefly, I think anyone can learn just about any material if equipped with the right strategies. I have a background in cognitive psychology, and I often apply what I learned about memory to the concept of test preparation. Strategies like distributed practice, chunking, mnemonics, and engaging the material through different modalities can lead to richer encoding and easily retrieval of memories, which will make the content more likely to "stick."

...raised around the world. For the past year, I've taught and tutored students in SAT, ACT, and reading and writing enrichment in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I love reading, learning new things, and climbing rocks, and I travel whenever possible. The most important thing to me is movement: as long as I stay active,...

I specialize in general sciences, medical sciences, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and composition. I love working with students of all ages and I love to teach.

...is a lifelong process. It begins with interest and curiosity, and ends with goals and aspirations. Being proactive in learning is important to achieving those goals and aspirations. My job is to provide tools that will inspire students to do their best in their academic and personal careers, and to help reach those objectives that...

...discussion and hands-on methods as opposed to when they are lectured to; I also believe learning can and should be fun! When it comes to preparing for tests, I believe that what you know is only a small part of the puzzle; perfecting test-taking skills is equally important. I have taken many standardized tests throughout...

...English, and helping friends who home school their kids. My most preferred subjects are Biology and Economics because I like knowing how things work and how people think on a larger scale.
