Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Sterling Heights, MI

...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. While it is important to know facts or the application of facts, I feel that learning how to learn and critical thinking are important and are built on the foundation of a trusting relationship existing between the tutor and the student. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...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...

...person, which means that in tutoring I have a tendency towards over-preparation. In my three-plus years of experience, I've found that this tendency allows me to have enough flexibility to handle unexpected situations in the sessions. This might include stumbling upon knowledge gaps or working with a student who hasn't had material effectively communicated to them previously. I started tutoring my senior year of high school and continued into my college years at Emory; thanks...

...schools as well as other top universities across the country with top scholarships. I tutor in all subjects from French to Essay Writing and Algebra to Chemistry! I want my students and tutees to see the value in themselves and know that they can accomplish anything with determination and hard work! Realizing you can do it is half the battle and working hard to bring that dream to fruition is the other half!... I've found that going over quick problems to discover where they are currently is helpful! I like to know a student's problem areas so that we have targeted sessions moving forward and that they can grasp concepts they currently might not understand.

I believe that any concept can be learned no matter how difficult it may seem. With over a decade of experience in education I am confident that I could help you learn anything. I have taught almost everything, including English Language Arts, US and World History, Government, and an ACT Preparation Course. Humor, patience, real-life experiences, and visual aids are all key to how I help students understand new knowledge and achieve success!

...Authors and the CLAS Tutoring Center. In both places I worked with mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in the subjects as well as co-teaching with professors in the humanities and the sciences. Since then, I have completed my student teaching in both Warren, MI and Darwin, Australia in high school English and middle school English/geography classrooms respectively. I then continued to complete long-term sub assignments at the high school I student taught at. These two...

...on the classical pronunciation of ancient Greek and Latin. I received an award for being the highest ranking student in Greek and Latin Literature in my college's classics department. I am a former member of the American Classical League and have attended some of their national conferences and seminars on the teaching of Latin. I also have experience creating educational materials for intermediate students of Latin online for a website that publishes full length texts...

...from tutoring. It’s extremely rewarding – and a lot of fun - to work one-on-one with an individual and watch the incremental progress, as he/she masters the material we’re working on. Initially, I was hired by Kaplan Institute to teach ACT & SAT prep courses. I originally viewed tutoring as a part-time job to help finance graduate school, but I soon branched out into tutoring on my own and have enjoyed it so much that...

...regard for the content. For example, students learn the proper language of “social studies” in elementary school: terms like “culture,” “prejudice,” etc. They repeat these words like they complete the algebraic expression x = 2 + 2; automatically and without considering whether those numbers stand for something in the real world. It's boring and UNPRODUCTIVE for everyone involved. What I want to impart is the ability to practice a sort of “meta cognition.” I want...

...to empower others to think critically and gain the ability to search out answers for themselves. My approach is simple - I see tutoring as a co-learning activity and am always working right alongside each student to fill in any gaps in the learning process and make any subject more enjoyable. My personal educational pursuits have been varied. I studied International Affairs at Gordon College and also played volleyball and studied abroad in Costa Rica...
