Nicole

ACT English Tutor • +43 Subjects

I was born and raised in Northern Italy, in the mountains, in a place where most people actually speak German. No, I don't have an accent, because my father is American and so I was raised bilingually from birth speaking German and English at home. Later of course I learnt Italian and then I studied Latin, French in high school as well. I've always been passionate about learning languages, and when I was into something, learning was easy for me and I enjoyed it.I graduated from the University of Innsbruck (Austria) with a MA in English and a minor in Spanish. After graduating, I worked in linguistic research and then decided to get a TEFL certificate to teach English as a foreign language. I moved from Italy to Prague and spent about a year teaching EFL there to private clients, both adults and kids as well as a class in high school. That's when I realized that teaching is my calling, my thing. I moved back to Italy to teach EFL in high school and middle school for 2.5 years, before moving to Detroit to get my MA in education at the University of Michigan Flint. Since 2019, I have been working as a teacher in public schools, and I am passionate about helping students. I believe that we all are learners and teachers. all of us are readers and writers. I have the ability to share my passion for learning with others, and one of my greatest strengths is building relationships with students which is the corner stone to successful learning and teaching. I believe that there are no bad kids or bad students, it's just that we all have different paths and ways of learning, we all have a different pace. As a teacher i strive to acknowledge that and find ways to support all students, adapting to their needs and paths, meeting them where they are at. It is my job to believe in every single student and help them believe in themselves. When I am not teaching or engaging with students, I like to read, walk, hike, travel, explore, work out, watch my favorite shows. I enjoy playing and watching ice hockey, and I try to go home to visit my family in Italy once a year.

ACT English Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am a former high school STEM teacher with a passion for teaching, certified in Secondary Math and Biology. I LOVE math and science, and what they tell us about the world. As a teacher in Detroit, I've worked with students of all ability levels and learning styles, so I have a lot of strategies in my tool belt for tackling difficult concepts. My style as a tutor is to be patient, positive and encouraging. I tend to develop strong relationships with students as a mentor.Before becoming a teacher, I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Architecture and Urban Studies and worked for several years as an architect in New York. I have always tutored in my spare time, and in New York I worked with students from a range of backgrounds - including ESL learners. I really enjoy getting to know my students, and always look forward to meeting someone new.The only thing I love more than teaching is learning. Every few months, I try to learn a new skill in my spare time - everything from book-making to driving a stick shift. I love art and design, science and technology.

Education is not just a hobby or an activity, I consider it a privilege . To be able to guide young minds to success is one of the world's greatest honors. I have almost a decade of Tutoring experience ranging in multiple areas and age groups. Being a Graduate of Wayne State University, I have taken on multiple internships working with bilingual students and adults with disabilities. These opportunities guided my decision to pursue Graduate School at Walden University to learn different counseling and coaching techniques to better assist adolescents in their educational journeys. I mainly tutor Elementary and Middle School topics, but I can also do certain high school topics as well. I firmly believe that with the proper tutor with the right approach can make all the difference in a child's success. So, Lets make a difference today.

Joanne

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +48 Subjects

As a secondary high school English teacher, I'm well-versed in teaching students with a wide range of skills and learning styles. I graduated with Honors from Santa Clara University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a specialization in Teaching English. In May 2015, I will graduate with my Masters in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan. I am passionate about teaching students to become critical readers and writers who use their communication skills to reach their goals and connect with others. I have over seven years of tutoring experience and have tutored students in reading and writing from middle school to the graduate level.While teaching English is my passion, I've also studied Spanish for over ten years and even lived abroad in Barcelona. I engage students with language using teaching methods that first interested me in studying the language — through multimedia, culture study, and conversation, I enjoy teaching students not only how to master the language but also how to love the language itself. I also have a special place in my heart for helping clients prepare for tests like the SAT, ACT, and GRE. From personal experience, I know these tests can be intimidating and anxiety-inducing; I would love to help others prepare to tackle test anxiety and difficult test questions!When tutoring, I seek to engage and challenge students while also providing a safe atmosphere for students to take intellectual risks and explore their curiosity. I think the best teaching methods are built on modeling thinking strategies — that is, if students can learn how to think in different ways, they can transfer the critical thinking and study skills they've learned in one subject to master others. I love teaching, and I am passionate about helping others learn. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, creative writing, watercolor painting, and playing guitar. In warmer weather, I also enjoy rock climbing and camping.
