I am a high school graduate from Chicago, Illinois and am currently a freshman at Central Michigan University, working toward my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a focus on Cognitive Special Needs! Although it is not technically a "double major", this degree will fully certify me to teach Kindergarten through 8th Grade in a general education class, and Kindergarten through 12th in Special Education. My long-term goal is to get my Masters degree in order to become a professor and properly educate future teachers. Needless to say with this goal in mind, I need to gain experience in the field first. :)Part of me has always known that working with children was something that I heavily wanted to pursue. Before deciding that Elementary Education was my path, I had very high interests in Child Psychology and Early Childhood Education. However, after getting the opportunity to work in a Kindergarten classroom my last year of High School, I had no doubt in my mind that I belonged in the classroom. I also was fortunate enough to help run the Little Mustangs Preschool, which gave me the chance to interact with little ones and really gain experience with learning how to break content down enough for them to understand. Both opportunities truly helped reassure that this path toward education is something I am destined to do. In addition, on the opposite end of the age-spectrum, I also tutored small groups within my Math courses my Junior and Senior year, and also worked in the Writing Center. Working with an older crowd definitely was a different experience, but it provided me with insight as to how to tailor to older student's needs and preferences with more complicated topics.There are a multitude of reasons why I feel so compelled to work with children; the impact of learning is something so much bigger than most realize. In addition, children actually teach us so much more about ourselves than they realize. They help us practice patience, kindness, leadership and time management. Their bright-eyed personas are something that I want to surround myself with everyday, because it makes each day a new experience. Teaching is by no means a tedious, dull job and that is exactly what I am looking for. The excitement, hardship, love, and committment that comes with this job is something that I indefinitely want to be a part of.Given that I have wide range of tutoring experience with varying ages, I would have to say that in all, my favorite subjects to teach are English and Math related. I prefer to work with a younger audience given that is where my field is, but I am more than willing to working with students of ALL ages as long as they need help in the specifed subject areas listed below. :) Regarding math, my take on it is as follows: as skills get more complex, students are required to continue to work on basic math skills that they learn in the beginning. Whether they realize this or not, they are continuously working on their Order of Operations and other simple skills that are required as math becomes more difficult. The same concept applies to English, as well. As students age and papers become more detail-oriented, they already have the basics down in regard to how to write a sentence, punctuation, and structure; the area of difficult comes with the fact that sometimes they just need a little guidance and clarification to set themselves up for success. As a tutor, my prefered style is figuring out where the root of the issue lies and going from there. Starting from the basics and continuing to help clarify points of confusion are especially relevant because it helps children continue to work through these educational building blocks while also ensuring guidance toward mastering a skill.Outside of academia, I am very interested in reading. Given my passion for English, reading is something that I have always had an interest in. It gives me a chance to mentally relax while simulatenously stimulating the brain. I also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and volunteering at local organizations. Outside of my passion for children, I am also very passionate for animals; in my free time, you will probably find me volunteering for Pit Crew (a nonprofit organization) which is dedicated to helping take care of abandoned and hurt Pit Bulls seeking shelter and care.If you have any further questions, feel free to look over my profile. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi, my name is Rachel. I am kind of an academic geek, a literature geek for sure. I love the feeling of being in the classroom and taking part in the discourse that goes on. In fact, if someone were willing to pay me to go to school indefinitely, I would probably take them up on that.I also love working with children and young adults. I feel like I connect well with the different age groups and know how to adjust my approach and interactions to get the best results.I believe that my background, abilities and personality make me the perfect choice to tutor your student.

ACT Prep Tutor • +52 Subjects
As a tutor, my goal is to enable kids to become stellar students by demystifying the writing process. From mastering basic study skills to writing a killer college application essay, I want students to feel confident with their ability to communicate ideas effectively. My experience as a tutor, mentor and editor has provided me with the opportunity to help a variety of students, from kindergarteners just learning to read, to high school seniors writing the essays that will gain them access to top-tier universities. In my years as a teacher's assistant for college freshmen, a workshop teacher at 826 Chicago and a literacy tutor with at-risk kids in a low-income elementary school in Ohio, I have turned students who professed to hate Reading and Writing into confident and creative writers. I have also helped students excel in History, Mathematics and particularly enjoy helping students exceed their own scoring expectations on the SAT.As a graduate of the Oberlin College Creative Writing Program, I believe that every writing assignment, from historical essays to Japanese poetry to science term papers, has the possibility to enthrall and fascinate. I believe that all writing is creative writing, and that in every assignment can be approached with equal measures of enthusiasm and diligence. I am an excellent teacher of the building blocks of language, including Phonics and Grammar. As Joan Didion once said, "Grammar is a piano I play by ear." I have helped dozens of students view grammar not as a stifling set of rules but instead, a toolbox for self-expression.I look forward to working with you soon!

Vishwa
ACT Writing Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a rising sophomore at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor studying computer engineering. I have tutored around 4-5 kids in the last 6 years in mathematics and have helped them overcome numerous obstacles in math. I'm looking to also tutor English to those who want to develop a more professional tone in their workplace or communities. I truly believe fostering an open-minded and hands-on approach environment when students are learning. This helps them retain the most amount of information and skills in the subject area.

The teaching and learning process is important to me because it is a means of searching for truth, knowledge, and valuable information for the advancement of civilization and promotion of a better life for humanity. I have a record of accomplishment of teaching/tutoring chemistry for about two decades and working with teaching assistants at the academy/high schools and college/university levels. I taught and tutored High School Chemistry, Math and Physics subjects, General Chemistry, Quantitative chemical analysis, Organic and Inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry courses. I am a graduate of The Pune University with second degree and Addis Ababa University with first degree in Chemistry. I did post graduate research works at Max Planck institute in Germany and Notre Dame University here in US and currently teaching chemistry at Andrews University. These experiences help me to value different cultures and background of diverse students and communicate with all well and effectively with due respect for all. I am interested in tutoring young people, see them to thrive and grow in knowledge and be someday-valuable citizens of our society. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chemistry, Math and Physics courses. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests with confidence, we always seem to have the most fun with remarkable advancements. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my inner-life, doing research with silver and gold nano-particles, playing soccer, walking, creating new recipes of food cooking and traveling to see nature and visit with old and new friends.
