Learning can sometimes be a challenge. However, I believe that with a bit of creativity and a fresh approach any subject can present an engaging and satisfying opportunity for growth. I've been living in Detroit since I finished my masters program at DePaul University in Chicago in 2011. My tutoring experience started while I was in the Marines from 2001-2005; I frequently had to help some of the troops out with all kinds of topics, ranging from personal finance to hydraulics. After serving, I dedicated myself to helping returning veterans get situated with their GI Bill benefits and application essays. I respect those who seek knowledge and personal improvement and I believe that it is my responsibility to honor that by creating customized, learner-centered, multi-modal educational offerings for my students. I look forward eagerly to working with you.

Math didn't always come easy to me, but what was important was never giving up! I started off as a C+ student in math, and now (10 years and MUCH studying later...) I am becoming a math teacher!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education as well as a Master's Degree both from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I have teaching endorsements in Early Childhood Education, Language Arts, Social Studies, and as a Reading Specialist. I have tutored many students in many subject areas from grades Kindergarten to Grade 12. My specialty is Reading but I enjoy tutoring all subjects. I have taught many grades including Preschool, and I am currently in my second year as a Reading Specialist where I teach students in Grades Kindergarten to Grade 8 in all areas of Reading and Writing. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, camping, and spending time with my family and friends.

I was a tutor in medical school for Anatomy and physiology as well as all other courses in medical school I believe that great teachers can make difficult topics easy to understand. As the medical school curriculum is often compared to "sipping out of a fire hose", I have learned, painstakingly, the most efficient ways to learn difficult topics. I simply would like to pass on the knowledge, and more importantly, the process to obtain difficult material.As a physician, my understanding of these materials and my real life applications allow me to teach these materials to learners while giving real life examples to help solidify these difficult topics.Please feel free to contact me with questions and concerns so as to optimize your learning opportunity

I'm a dedicated and passionate ACT/SAT tutor with over 3 years of tutoring experience. I'm currently in my junior year studying Computer Science at the University of Michigan. Throughout my tutoring journey, I've consistently guided my students towards achieving their desired scores, irrespective of their starting points. My expertise lies in effectively communicating and teaching the unique strategies needed for different sections of the ACT and SAT.One of the core elements of my tutoring approach is utilizing real exams from the past. This method not only familiarizes students with the actual test format but also offers an authentic practice platform. Moreover, I prioritize interactive sessions that foster active learning. By encouraging students to explore and understand concepts, they retain the knowledge more effectively and gain confidence in their abilities.Recognizing that each student has a unique learning style, I adapt my teaching methods to provide engaging sessions tailored to individual needs. I am committed to providing extra practice on specific concepts or sections where a student might be struggling, ensuring that no one is left behind and every area of potential difficulty is addressed.In addition to my dedication to understanding and catering to each student's learning needs, I offer extensive resources for practice. These include a wealth of real practice exams and extra exercises focused on specific concepts or sections that may pose a challenge. Moreover, for those seeking additional practice, I offer homework assignments to keep concepts fresh and reinforce learning.Beyond just academic guidance, I see my role as a tutor as also fostering a growth mindset in my students. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that anyone can master any concept or subject given the right mindset.

I am a Computer Science graduate from the University of Michigan, initially from central New Jersey. I have worked to tutor students through Varsity Tutors for around 4 years. I am confident in my abilities to tutor with college admissions exams such as the SAT and ACT, including specialized SAT subject tests. I also tutor in math, until Multivariable Calculus, and can help with computer science skills and languages. I believe teaching is best done through discussion and conversation, and lead my tutoring sessions with this mentality. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing tennis, piano, and exploring new coffee shops!

My Philosophy of EducationBy Terry D. Barkley???Twenty men crossing a bridge,Into a village,Are twenty men crossing twenty bridges,Into twenty villages???.???Metaphors of a MagnificoBy Wallace StevensMy favorite quote has become a world view to me over the past twenty-five years. I have considered teaching a way of discovering the men, bridges, and villages that populate the world around me. Through my teaching of writing, as well as my own writing and reading, I delve into the hearts of many different souls, each with a perspective that I do not have. My purpose in teaching writing, speaking, acting, literature, and humanities is to draw that individual perspective out of each student who comes to me to learn. Writing, as well as acting and public speaking, allows the quiet ??? the shy ??? a voice. That voice needs to be heard, for it is through hearing all of the voices around us that we can truly begin to understand the variety and beauty that surrounds us everyday.This philosophy of education has been honed over many years of writing, acting, and teaching. Through my own writing and performances, I have gained insights into my own soul: my own likes and dislikes, my own dreams and perspectives. Through teaching, I have learned many things I never would have thought to know: how to field-dress a deer, how to make sushi, what worries a sixteen-year-old girl who feels alone in a school with hundreds of other sixteen-year-old girls, what a young boy believes science will one day discover, and why one man???s family may be different than the ???norm??? but is still a loving, nurturing group. In my teaching, I do a lot of modeling, understanding that sometimes students need guides to follow on the way to self-expression. So I show them my soul a bit to encourage a little revelation from their lives.To sum up: I believe education is the exploration for, finding of, and expression of old and new ideas. We learn from each other and those who came before us. Education teaches us to become active, thinking members of society ??? acting and reacting, observing and contemplating, learning and teaching. We, as teachers, also learn from our charges, as we try to teach and lead them. And, for me, that is the greatest thing about teaching.Terry D. Barkley
