Certified Tutor
The thing that is truly great about any tutor is that he or she has the distinct ability to bring an obscure subject matter to a student and turn it into something meaningful. When an interested student is exposed to a subject in a setting comfortable setting that lends itself well to learning, which indubitably varies with each individual, the capacity for learning increases tremendously. As someone who grew up with a father who taught at a community college and a grandfather and grandmother who taught at the high school level, the importance of education was instilled in me at a very young age. Although I have graduated from Saginaw Valley State University (Saginaw, MI) with my Bachelor's degree and since entered the professional work world, I continue to further my education through constant reading and research and by attending academic lectures and seminars in my community. I also have plans of obtaining a Master's degree in the very near future.
My true passion lies in the humanities, and I have traveled extensively to regions that pertain to this field of study. These travels have not only helped me become a near-fluent speaker of French and an experienced art historian, but also a very culturally aware individual, which I believe to be an extremely valuable trait for any teacher or tutor. However, such subjects are not the only areas in which I have interest or ability. I also very much enjoy studying astronomy, ecology, European history and politics, and geography. In addition, through studying a second language I have discovered much about the various methods of reading and writing and the importance and functions of grammar and mechanics in both the second language and my mother tongue.
