...Manager for a Supplemental Education Program which focused on literacy and the mechanics of proper writing techniques for essays, public speaking, and debates. I have tutored Language Arts for children in the grades of 6 through 9 who have wanted to improve their grammar and reading comprehension, as well as to improve standardized test scores. I have also performed in the capacity of the Facilitator of student academic enrichment, workshops, mentoring, social skills, and life...

...highly detailed-oriented 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...

My goal as a tutor is to help students with Spanish. I like to work with all levels. If the student likes a particular form of learning I will try to work with the style they like. I like writing notes for them and working on grammar.

...in southeast Michigan. I graduated from the University of Michigan with degrees in Political Science and Linguistics. I went on to the University of Iowa College of Law, where I served on the Iowa Law Review, and I graduated in 2013 with a Juris Doctor. I received a 169 on my LSAT (97th percentile), and I have performed equally well on the ACT, SAT, and on numerous Advanced Placement exams. My areas of expertise are...

I was born and raised between three languages (Arabic, French and English), and yes it was confusing sometimes. But with time I noticed that it was a bless, a bridge across different cultures and countries. I would love to share my passion for languages with you during an entertaining moment :)... A teacher should consider that each student is a unique individual who needs a caring and stimulating atmosphere to learn.... Do a level test.... Give him or her more sources.

...free time I love to explore the nature trails around Cincinnati as well as cook. While I can tutor a wide array of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology and English. As an undergraduate student, I was the Senior Editor of a student-run publication for three years, affording me extensive experience in editing others' work. After I graduated, I co-instructed an international summer science course offered by UofM for high school aged students. This...

...worked in a variety of contexts including the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, the Georgia Public Defenders Standards Council and the Center for Supportive Schools in Princeton, NJ. After I established my professional identity, I returned to education to pursue graduate work at the University of South Carolina. While I was in South Carolina, I developed a love for teaching SPSS and APA-writing style and tutoring college students in personal statement writing as these...

...in Spanish from Michigan State University. I am certified to teach Spanish throughout the state. I started teaching in 2012 on the high school level. My minor is in English. There are similarities between both languages and I would assist you in using them to your advantage. Learning a language allows you to experience different cultures. During my time studying in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, I was able to learn about accents, foods...

...years I have tutored students in small groups and one-on-one. I love working with students and helping them fall in love with math. I tutor all level levels of math from elementary to Calculus, including test prep. My guiding belief is that students will not learn unless they have the confidence to do well and are enjoying what they are learning. So, at the core of my teaching is that I need to build that...

...Additionally, I have experience presenting research papers at national conferences, leading discussions on literature and history at a graduate level, and the dubious honor of writing a successful Master's thesis. Part of my training is the ability to synthesis large amounts of information and package it into an easily understandable concept or theory, while drawing on multiple sources of information. This skill allows me to help students grasp the major themes and concepts in literature....

...successful but need the right support and guidance to do so. Some children might understand a concept immediately while others need additional practice. Children learn best with methods that cater to their interests and learning styles. As an educator, it is my job to provide students with the tools for success. For some, this could be kinesthetic activities and for others it may mean provide extra opportunities of practice. Nevertheless, it is important to take...

I think that knowledge is power and the children are our future. I once dreamt of being a high school math teacher but resigned to studying economics in lieu of this dream. I like the relative certainty of mathematics and look forward to tutoring more people. "Teach a man to fish..." I believe that if I can inspire in others, even in the smallest manner, my love for knowledge with my intuitive outlook toward problem solving, I will be satisfied. I think I have some insight into the idea behind the principle and how to explain it.

...love going to school and have several degrees. First, right out of high school I got my BS in Mathematics and Biology at Northwestern University; and then I went to the same university for my Masters degree. When I taught at the Wayne State University, I worked on my doctorate in math. I really believe in the power of education! In my free time I like to paint, work with polymer clay, and bead. I...

I've been teaching math and science for 25 years and just love it. One of the best things about the job is seeing and hearing when a student truly understands a math concept. They always look so happy that they figured it out! I also really enjoy thinking of the best question I can ask in order to make the student think more. It's tons of fun!... I feel all people inherently want to learn. My job as a teacher is to help them explore new concepts by demonstrating how concepts they already know are similar to the new ones. This approach helps break down any preconceived notions about the difficulty of a new concept. It also helps build self-esteem in the learner.

...Math subject areas. My last 15 years I primarily taught AP Statistics, Algebra II, Pre-Calc, and Trigonometry. I received my BS degree from Ferris State University and achieved a Masters Equivalent from Eastern Michigan University. As education has changed, so has my teaching philosophy. I view myself as a source, as opposed to the source of information. I try to get my students to not only know how to solve a problem but to understand...

...as substitute teacher in the Detroit area. Subbing has been a fantastic learning opportunity for me and has taught me much about becoming a better teacher. While I am comfortable tutoring in many different subjects, my primary passion has always been for History, English, and Literature. I find the most effective tutoring style is to break down the problem into its simplest parts and then build it back up in a more easily understandable way....

...great satisfaction from tutoring. Its 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 were 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...

...well! Aside from my educational background and love for languages, my passion is rooted in martial arts. I have a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and black belts in Choi Kwang Do and Hup Kwon Do. Additionally, I have trained in other styles. In my 12 years of martial arts training, I have taught students ages 3-63 and enjoy every minute of it! If anyone is ever interested in martial arts, whether...

...have traveled across the US and as far as China with my campus involvement. During my studies, I have also had the opportunity to tutor in various business areas such as: Accounting, Economics, Production Operations and Public Speaking. I have tutored in each subject one-on-one and in group settings. These are areas that I not only enjoy, but I am very passionate about. I love having the opportunity to give back to students, because I...
