Award-Winning Tutors from Eastern Michigan University

I am an experienced teacher who is dedicated to helping people improve their language skills. I've been a teacher for the last ten years with a diverse background. Teaching is my passion. It is the only job I see myself doing. I feel most comfortable when in front of a class or helping others on an individual basis.I first starting tutoring in 2001 while studying to be a secondary English teacher at Eastern Michigan University. This experience helped kindle my passion for teaching, especially working with students one on one. After receiving my bachelor's degree in English education, I went back to my alma mater to refine my knowledge in English literature and writing. While studying for my MA in literature, I worked closely with my classmates in study groups. We helped each other break down difficult texts into their essential parts, thus making class discussions and term papers easier to manage. After graduating with honors, I started working at a small community college in Dearborn, Michigan. At Henry Ford Community College, I taught two sections developmental composition. My classes focused on grammar, usage, voice, and creation. Most of my students were either students who spoke English as their second language or who were first generation college students. After a year at HFCC, I spent seven years teaching English as a foreign language in South Korea. I mostly worked with elementary and middle school students, but I did have some adult students as well. I loved helping non-native English speakers improve their language skills, and I loved seeing my younger students develop in all language areas.Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and spending time with my wife and dog. I am an avid reader who enjoys all genres of writing. I also enjoy listening to all sorts of music and discovering new bands and/or artists.

I believe that teaching is about engaging the mind. It is about introducing students to conceptual frameworks with which they can, in profound way, understand, master, and incorporate educational concepts and strategies in productive ways. In short, for me, teaching is about challenging and inspiring students to think critically.

Education has always been a very important factor in my life. Ever since I was able to hold a job, I have given my time and energy to giving back to my community by way of working within the school system. I understand that by having a solid support system, a student is able to find ways to succeed. It is my mission to be a part of that support system for any student who may need it.

Memory updated Here's an enhanced version of your statement of purpose: With over 20 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of working with diverse learners across grades K-12, teaching a wide range of core subjects. Currently, I teach high school English at an alternative school, where I support students who have not found success in traditional public school settings. I hold certifications in English (K-12), Elementary Content (K-6), and Special Education (K-12), with extensive expertise in developing and implementing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to meet the specific needs of each student. My teaching philosophy centers on a student-first approach, where I prioritize building confidence, fostering critical thinking, and tailoring instruction to align with individual learning styles. I am passionate about making learning both enjoyable and impactful, ensuring that my sessions are not only focused on strengthening academic skills but also inspired by students' personal interests.

I am passionate about helping students because I believe in the transformative power of education. My goal is to empower students to realize their potential and to inspire them to approach learning as an exciting and rewarding journey. Education opens doors to opportunities and can dramatically improve a student's life, and I am committed to being a guide and support system throughout that journey. With over 18 years of experience in education, I have worked as a math teacher, interventionist, and administrator. My extensive background has given me a broad perspective on how students learn and what strategies are most effective in helping them succeed. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds, helping them overcome challenges, refine their skills, and reach their academic and personal goals. Whether working one-on-one with students to provide individualized support or designing engaging learning experiences for larger groups, my experience has taught me the importance of fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education with a certification in Mathematics, as well as a Master's degree in Instructional Design and Technology. These qualifications have provided me with a strong foundation in effective teaching strategies, curriculum development, and instructional leadership. I am particularly skilled in helping students succeed in subjects like math, as I believe math offers students a unique opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I love math and making it easy to learn. I try to use real-world problems to make the content relatable and to help students see how math applies in everyday situations, making it easier to understand. The subjects I tutor include mathematics (K-12), test preparation, study skills, and academic planning. Math is my favorite subject to tutor because I love watching students develop their confidence in a subject that many find challenging. There is something incredibly rewarding about helping a student who is struggling with a concept gain that "aha" moment and build the skills they need to continue progressing. My teaching philosophy centers around creating a student-centered learning environment where each student feels valued, supported, and capable of success. I believe in adapting my approach to fit each student's individual needs and learning style, whether that means providing more hands-on practice, visual aids, or breaking complex topics down into manageable steps. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and focused on helping students build a strong foundation for independent learning. Outside of academia, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and playing golf. These activities help me maintain a balanced perspective and bring a sense of joy and relaxation that I carry with me into my professional life. I also value personal growth and continually seek opportunities to learn new things, both within and outside of education.

Some of my kids have learning disabilities including Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia/Dysgraphia. I also have kids that are in the gifted category. My own children have helped me gain valuable knowledge of the many different ways children learn best. I am a very encouraging and caring person, and I will do my best to help YOU (or your child, parents) recognize how smart and awesome you are, and how fun learning can be.

As a graduate of Eastern Michigan University, I learned from the best how to teach the whole child. Learning is a lifelong process that should be enjoyed. As a teacher, I strive to help children not only understand the curriculum, but to see how it can be beneficial in their lives. My hope is that my students find their way through life making the best choices they can, and become best they can be using the tools given them.My degree is in Elementary Education, specializing in Science and Social Science.

Graduated from eastern Michigan University with a bachelors degree in Linguistics and a minor in Japanese. I have also spent a year studying abroad in Japan at the Japan center for Michigan Universities in Hikone. As evidenced by my field of study I find that language is what I am most passionate about and more specifically Japanese. perhaps due to my background in linguistics I find that I tend to like taking a more technical approach to the idea of language learning and try to add elements of the science of it into the study. for example, talking about the difference in construction between two languages and how understanding these differences can help with the language learning process. As someone who studied linguistics I have a passion for language learning in all of its forms and I try to impart a bit of that passion on students as learning another language in in my opinion one of the most valuable and rewarding things that a person can do. Outside of academics I am a big fan of film as well as an automotive enthusiast.

I enjoy reading almost anything, but I particularly like Historical novels and Biographical novels. My reason for tutoring is to provide support for students who are currently experiencing difficulty in a subject area where I may be able to help. My background in Special Education has taught me to look at teaching from different outlooks to help students achieve success, instead of attacking a subject from just one direction.

I have a degree in Biomedical Engineering and am working on my Master's in Computer-Aided Engineering. I have over 4 years of tutoring experience, most of which were K-12 math and science over the phone or online chat. Over the last 6 months, I have worked one-on-one with students working on the ACT. I have also taught English to adults living in Costa Rica. In every setting, I use various methods and materials that are available to try and relate the material to the student's life.As a tutor, I love to inspire students and show them their own strengths to boost confidence. I like to follow my previous supervisor's tutoring motto, which was "We work to put ourselves out of a job," meaning my goal is to help you until you don't need my help. My job is to boost your confidence and skill in the material and show you how to do it on your own.Beyond tutoring, I am a full-time Master's student, and I enjoy Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

I graduated from The University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and finished a Masters in Biology at Eastern Michigan University. I enjoy helping others, which included teaching kids at my church, tutoring middle and high school students during study hall, working with youth in after school programs, helping adults who wish to improve their English, and helping friends 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 reading, following professional sports, boardgames, cooking and eating.

I've been teaching math, physics, and economics from grades 6-12 for the last 15 years. I was certified to teach in Michigan and Illinois, and taught in both states. I have also taken classes in cognitive research, which has helped me understand how to teach most effectively so that students and properly understand and retain the information that they're learning. Because I've taught many different subjects and age groups, I have a broader understanding of teaching and learning than most educators, which helps me find a particular way to best help the individual student.

I am a graduate of Eastern Michigan University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I received my Masters in Early Childhood Education from Saginaw Valley State University. I have been a classroom teacher for the last 16 years and have tutored my students and others after school. My favorite subjects are language arts and science because that is what I find to be the most interesting. I believe every person can learn, however we all have our own way of learning. Tutoring allows me to get to know my students and use techniques that will help them learn. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends at home or out at activities around the community. I love to read and when I have time enjoy making a variety of crafts.

I have a PhD from Michigan State University in English with a special focus on African American Literature and History and Philosophy of Science. I have taught extensively at large research universities and small liberal arts colleges, covering wide ranges of subjects in writing, literary studies, critical theory, and philosophy of science. I am most proud of my work with STEM students, guiding them through writing classes and humanities and helping them make the most of their studies and develop transferable skills in qualitative analysis and written communication. Finding middle ground between different disciplines and skillsets has not only helped me work with a wide variety of students, but help them thrive in many different environments, as they enter industry, graduate school, medical school, or any future goals. Similarly I have a great deal of experience with GRE prep and applications more broadly, synthesizing the work students do in many disciplines into presentations of their skills and aptitudes.

I love educating and especially educating in non-traditional environments. If you spoke to my former students I am sure they would have stories to tell of outdoor classes before social distancing was a thing! I love to be a learner with my students.Growing up in the wilds of Northern Saskatchewan and for a time without power or plumbing has given me a creative and pioneering spirit.I love to unlock what motivates each student for their own success. When you "own it" you can do it! There are more than a thousand ways to learn but none of it is possible without personal ownership. You own it, and I will work hard to give whatever tools I can!Another way to say it. If you have a "why" you will be motivated for the "how".I received my formal education in several schools over several States. I began with Philosophy at Magdalene College in New Hampshire, I studied education at Eastern Michigan University, and I went on to study Theology at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.The subjects I am passionate about are History, Writing, Philosophy, and Theology. I love seeking truth and I am in pursuit of wisdom wherever I can find it.
