I believe the best learning happens when complex ideas are made approachable, practical, and engaging. My goal as a tutor is not just to help you get the right answer, but to make sure you understand why it's correct and how to apply the concept in new situations. I focus on breaking down difficult topics into simple, clear steps, and I tailor my explanations to match your learning style.

I am currently a full-time mathematics professor at a community college, where I teach both online and on-ground classes. Before this position, I worked as a graduate teaching assistant and then a visiting instructor at Michigan State University. I even taught high school mathematics for a year prior to that.When I am teaching or tutoring a student, I always try to abide by the motto: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." This motto has helped me focus on being a good listener, which I believe has made me a very effective instructor/tutor. When a student says that he/she does not understand a concept, I will often ask him/her a couple follow-up questions in an effort to identify the root cause of his/her misconception. Then the student and I can go to work on clearing up this misconception. In general, my goal is to help students first understand WHY certain mathematical principles work, because then it will be easier for them to learn HOW to apply them appropriately.

A little bit of information about me.I find computer programming/development to be a very enjoyable occupation. There is something about putting the code together to create an application or a website that is very satisfying. Getting to see the results of the work that was done is very exciting.I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in IT in May 2014 with courses in C programming, HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, computer security, web design, graphic design, Adobe In Design and Adobe Illustrator. In May of 2017 I obtained my Master of Science degree in IT with courses in programming, computer security, operating systems, cloud computing and security in the cloud which was my area of specialization. Areas that I gained experience in through work were the Java programming language and Python, along with Microsoft Teams, Word and Excel, and Adobe Photo shop.One of the aspects of teaching, or tutoring a programming language that I like is passing on my enjoyment of writing programs and the excitement of learning how to code. When I have taught classes I try to encourage the students to explore what they can do with the language they are learning How to use it to accomplish their task or objective while also gaining an understanding of how it works. One of the best ways to learn coding of course is to use it to create something.When teaching in a group setting I try to encourage students to work together to solve problems. If one student is having some difficulties at a certain point or the code doesn't seem to be working as it should, I like to encourage everyone to contribute to solving the problem. This teaches them to work together, the same as they would if they were working on a project for a business, and to solve problems that can be encountered in coding. It's always great when a student is able to solve a problem in a program.Writing programs can take work and dedication, but it can also be fun. I try to create an atmosphere where the student feels good about what they can accomplish while having fun learning how to code.

I am a graduate of Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana (B.A. Spanish) and Wayne State University (M.A. Teaching Foreign Language). I have been with Detroit Public School since 1992. In high school, I struggled with Spanish all four years and when I applied to college I challenged myself to give Spanish just one shot. Spanish finally clicked for me and I have never looked back. That experience allows my students and tutoring clients to relate to me.My career as a Spanish teacher began in 1994 at a local area high school and I have demonstrated my teaching ability to many students and adults including preschoolers within my church to police officers in my community.My interest beyond the classroom setting include traveling abroad, collecting Barbie dolls and cooking and entertaining guests. I also am an avid world news watcher..My tutoring strategies are to establish a great rapport with the student, assess his/her learning style, give students opportunity to ask as many questions he or she needs, build their confidence as a language student and be an overall support system for the student.My teaching philosophy toward language is that language is a unique and important part of our culture and each child has a unique approach to language acquisition.

Before that, I completed my MA in library science at the University of Arizona, where I studied data management and information services.

Even now, kids in elementary grades remain some of my very favorite students--I really enjoy writing joke books and short stories with them, as well as playing math games like Multiplication War and Fraction Dominos. Students with disabilities are particularly important to me, and I try to stay up to date on the best practices for working with them because I've seen firsthand the ways in which minor accommodations can engender significant improvements in learning outcomes. Regardless of my students' ages and abilities, I enjoy helping all of them develop productive study habits and work practices that complement their personal needs and learning styles.

Since I was a small child, I knew that I wanted to help people. When I am old and fragile, I want to be able to look back on my life and smile about what I have accomplished. Joining the PhD program for Kinesiology at Wayne State University greatly supports me in this mission. As part of my education, I have had the privilege of being immersed in disability culture; this prepared me to pursue my Doctoral Degree in Kinesiology in Education.My interest in becoming an educator dates back to my early elementary years. As with most students, I had experiences with instructors that varied between the good, the bad and the ugly. When my experiences were good, I excelled, took risks, learn, and I would push myself to master a skill. With the bad instances, I would shy away and try not to be noticed by the teacher. I quietly attempted to look busy. The ugly experiences were where I would become embarrassed and completely disengage with a lesson and from an instructor. Even at a young age, I saw which one of these people I would want to model. So the seed was planted in my head to become not just an educator, but a person to inspire others to reach for the stars and strive to achieve their full potential. In my free time I enjoy basketball and teaching.

Chemistry is typically the first subject students learn that introduces the idea of the world existing at an atomic level. It forces students to rearrange their concept of reality, pushing the boundaries of mathematics, concepts, and scientific understandings they've come to learn. This is no easy feat! Whether students feel they would benefit from extra support or simply want to strengthen their skills, everyone deserves attentive teaching, and I want to help you feel confident in your capabilities! From making difficult concepts digestible to ensuring sufficient exam preparation, I have developed a variety of analogies, tools, and techniques for chemistry at all levels. While chemistry is my passion, you can usually find me studying other sciences like psychology and toxicology, or engaging in both visual and theatre arts! I look forward to working with you!

I started getting interested in Biology in the 10th or 11th grade. That was when I began to think about the world from a scientific perspective. I studied Biology at Wayne State University for five years on a presidential scholarship, for which I am eternally grateful! I minored in Chemistry after getting interested in the inner workings of organic chemistry. While going to college I earned money by tutoring classes I had already taken. I also offered "supplemental instruction" which were informal classroom question and answer sessions. I worked in a research lab after earning an undergraduate research fellowship and explored Physiology at the School of Medicine. Then went on to study Toxicology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While there a decision appeared clear between focusing on research or teaching. I like teaching better. I truly enjoy spreading knowledge about Biology and Chemistry and finding fun ways to introduce people to these (often difficult) subjects.

My passion for teaching started when I was very young and I was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that causes letters and words to be transposed in my mind. I had to work very hard--my mother used flashcards over a long period--to develop my reading, and eventually I got up to speed enough to be a grade level. I knew then that teaching was a determining factor in what my mother had done for me, and moreover, what my life would eventually be about. I was very young then, and while dyslexia does not go away, I have achieved quite a bit despite it, attaining degrees in English, of all things, and composing lots of music and poetry over the years. My teaching philosophy--pedagogy, the pros call it--is student centered, where I try to engage the student where he/she is at, and then increase the rigor from there, utilizing a conversational and laid back and friendly style. Outside interests include playing jazz/rock fusion guitar and performing music at local open mics, listening to such artists as Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman, even taking the occasional gig or poetry reading, and reading, from fiction to poetry, and from philosophy to biographies.

My favorite subject is Student Success because if a student knows how to be a student, they can really thrive.My teaching philosophy involves student empowerment.

I grew up in Southern California and attended the University of California at Santa Barbara until I graduated in 2008 with a degree in history. After being told to pursue a higher degree by my adviser, Dr. Harold Marcuse, I was accepted to CSU Pomona, where I obtained my Master's in History in 2010 with a focus on the Communist Party of the United States. My interests in the Communist Party extended from my studies of Cold War history at UCSB, and drove me to understand more about the Party's involvement with specific union organizing efforts during the 1930s. My Master's thesis exposed the connection between the CPUSA and one of their agricultural unions, the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing and Allied Workers of America (UCAPAWA) and discussed the impact the union made on agricultural unionism in an era where national labor legislation did not protect agricultural workers.My thesis was welcomed as a special presentation at the 2011 Working-Class Studies Association held in Chicago, where I received positive feedback on my use of agriculture as a field for highlighting the ongoing importance of American Communist history and its ties with the U.S. Labor Movement. Following graduation in 2010, I began to dive actively into collecting oral histories of the CPUSA with the intention of hopefully one day donating it to the special collections at the Walter Reuther Library here at Wayne State. I was advised about Wayne State by my off-campus adviser, Dr. Vicki Ruiz. Over the course of five years, I collected 14 oral histories of current and non-current members of the CPUSA, ranging from its oldest generations to its youngest. After collecting a few testimonies, I sent parts of my work to the North American Labor History Conference here at Wayne State in 2012 to emphasize my desires to expand the available sourcework on CPUSA history as well as deposit the records at the Reuther. To emphasize my point, I presented three of the collected oral histories and showed how their stories unveil a side of American Communist history unavailable in existing scholarly works. I presented again at the NALHC in 2013 to show how quick I had expanded the amount of oral histories.Currently I am working in the PhD Program at Wayne to utilize my collected oral histories as a means for writing a generational history of the Communist Party in the United States and thus a narrative history of American Communism through the eyes of American Communists. This stands in contrast to existing narratives, which use FBI files and internal Party documents to craft the Party's overall meaning and history. This approach, while useful in understanding the political dimensions of American Communism, does little to show the history of American Communists as people. I am applying for the Graduate Professional Scholarship because it is one of the primary ways for me to continue this project and complete my degree. My oral history project alone has required me to seek out funding to support its ongoing development. The Graduate Professional Scholarship would ensure that whatever funding I have available can be put towards advancing the amount of research done, and ultimately lead to a better overall contribution to the historical record.

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.

I am a third year medical student at Wayne State University tutoring math and science. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Stony Brook University with a major in Biochemistry. I first developed my passion for teaching from 7 years of experience as a martial arts and boxing instructor. I was able to develop my tutoring skill during my time at Stony Brook where I worked as both a calculus tutor and a chemistry teaching assistant. Yes, I am a nerd but you will find that I am very personable and really care about helping students reach their full potential!

5+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wayne State University and a current student at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health Honors with a minor in Chemistry in 2021. Throughout my undergrad, I partook in opportunities to teach others, from leading a youth program on civic engagement to training community members on first aid and how to respond to an overdose emergency. I am passionate about writing, art, the sciences, and medicine, though I can tutor various subjects and age groups! I am particularly passionate in aiding children to build their foundation in their core studies and adult learners in their road to higher education. I can aid struggling students to achieve MCAT scores they are proud of, especially in the CARS and Sociology/Psychology sections. I also have experience aiding students of various levels in their professional and academic writing and speaking. Notably, I have evaluated students' college application essays and am serving on my medical school's admissions team. I firmly believe every student has potential to succeed, and am honored to be a part of that journey. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, reading, and spending time with family and friends!
