I am a student centered educator that uses many different methodologies for teaching to best meet the student's needs.I received my BA in News Editorial Journalism and Spanish from Central Michigan University and completed a graduate teacher licensure program at the University of Dayton. I also hold a Master's in PK-12 Spanish Education and a PK-12 Reading Endorsement from the University of Dayton. I will be Reading Recovery Certified in May 2020 through Wright State University. I am currently pursuing an Administrator's License with the University of Dayton beginning May 2020.I have tutored one-on-one in person for a private tutoring company for 2 years in Spanish. I also tutored students in an urban public school in reading during their school day for a year.I tutor all levels of Spanish, 1-AP and college level as well as elementary reading, preferably kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.

Hello,I currently work as a high school math teacher, and am looking to do some tutoring. I teach students math everyday and look forward to being able to help you. I graduated from Central Michigan University, with a bachelors of science in secondary education, with a Chemistry major and a minor in teaching mathematics. With schools going to remote learning I see this as the perfect time for some one on one tutor to help student close the gap on between traditional learning and remote learning.Stephen Peters

As a teacher as well as a parent, my top priority is helping students of all ages believe that they are successful and competent learners. I just finished my sixth year of teaching Preschool and many of my favorite lessons are those held one on one wherein I can truly get to know the students skills and challenges and create an individual plan for learning. I graduated from Central Michigan University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I have maintained my certification in All Subjects for Elementary School as well as my endorsements for Early Childhood Education and Language Arts Grades 6-8 in Michigan. I am currently working toward a Master of Arts in Education in Teaching English as a Second Language at Aquinas College. I consider myself a life-long learner and am excited to get started with Varsity Tutors. I am open to tutoring a wide range of subjects and levels as each brings a unique set of challenges and rewards. In my free time, I am an avid reader of both fiction and nonfiction texts and enjoy kayaking with my son and spending time outdoor with our dogs.

I am a high school graduate from Chicago, Illinois and am currently a freshman at Central Michigan University, working toward my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a focus on Cognitive Special Needs! Although it is not technically a "double major", this degree will fully certify me to teach Kindergarten through 8th Grade in a general education class, and Kindergarten through 12th in Special Education. My long-term goal is to get my Masters degree in order to become a professor and properly educate future teachers. Needless to say with this goal in mind, I need to gain experience in the field first. :)Part of me has always known that working with children was something that I heavily wanted to pursue. Before deciding that Elementary Education was my path, I had very high interests in Child Psychology and Early Childhood Education. However, after getting the opportunity to work in a Kindergarten classroom my last year of High School, I had no doubt in my mind that I belonged in the classroom. I also was fortunate enough to help run the Little Mustangs Preschool, which gave me the chance to interact with little ones and really gain experience with learning how to break content down enough for them to understand. Both opportunities truly helped reassure that this path toward education is something I am destined to do. In addition, on the opposite end of the age-spectrum, I also tutored small groups within my Math courses my Junior and Senior year, and also worked in the Writing Center. Working with an older crowd definitely was a different experience, but it provided me with insight as to how to tailor to older student's needs and preferences with more complicated topics.There are a multitude of reasons why I feel so compelled to work with children; the impact of learning is something so much bigger than most realize. In addition, children actually teach us so much more about ourselves than they realize. They help us practice patience, kindness, leadership and time management. Their bright-eyed personas are something that I want to surround myself with everyday, because it makes each day a new experience. Teaching is by no means a tedious, dull job and that is exactly what I am looking for. The excitement, hardship, love, and committment that comes with this job is something that I indefinitely want to be a part of.Given that I have wide range of tutoring experience with varying ages, I would have to say that in all, my favorite subjects to teach are English and Math related. I prefer to work with a younger audience given that is where my field is, but I am more than willing to working with students of ALL ages as long as they need help in the specifed subject areas listed below. :) Regarding math, my take on it is as follows: as skills get more complex, students are required to continue to work on basic math skills that they learn in the beginning. Whether they realize this or not, they are continuously working on their Order of Operations and other simple skills that are required as math becomes more difficult. The same concept applies to English, as well. As students age and papers become more detail-oriented, they already have the basics down in regard to how to write a sentence, punctuation, and structure; the area of difficult comes with the fact that sometimes they just need a little guidance and clarification to set themselves up for success. As a tutor, my prefered style is figuring out where the root of the issue lies and going from there. Starting from the basics and continuing to help clarify points of confusion are especially relevant because it helps children continue to work through these educational building blocks while also ensuring guidance toward mastering a skill.Outside of academia, I am very interested in reading. Given my passion for English, reading is something that I have always had an interest in. It gives me a chance to mentally relax while simulatenously stimulating the brain. I also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and volunteering at local organizations. Outside of my passion for children, I am also very passionate for animals; in my free time, you will probably find me volunteering for Pit Crew (a nonprofit organization) which is dedicated to helping take care of abandoned and hurt Pit Bulls seeking shelter and care.If you have any further questions, feel free to look over my profile. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I am a Retired Math Teacher with a BS Degree in Mathematics. I have both tutored and taught Algebra 1& 2, and Geometry. I have enjoyed both teaching and tutoring.

I'm excited to have the opportunity to help you and your student reach their educational goals!! I have over 10 years of experience in education and have worked with students at all levels.

I'm sure I can find a path that will help your student perform on state tests and in the classroom. I like to target the skills students need help with the most and focus on improving them to proficient levels. I have many different tools and techniques that can reach a variety of different learning styles and behaviors. I can help your student get ready for college and beyond in our ever-changing, technologically demanding world.Let me know how I can help!

I am a graduate of Wayne State University and Central Michigan University. Prior to the country being shut down due to COVID-19, I was taking classes at Oakland County Community College to keep up with my soft skills and business skills. I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a Master of Administration in Science Degree. I have enough credits to get an associate in Education and Business Administration. Currently, I spend a lot of time studying physics as it relates to the human body and how the human body functions. I am in the process of obtaining a Health Coaching Certification.I have been a substitute teacher in the Detroit Michigan area in the past. Also, I have tutored students in as part of supporting the program "No Child Left Behind" through Tutor Mates. I am passionate about physics. My motto is math is vital and important, and physics makes the world churn. It is foundational to everything we do on this planet and in this universe.I have learned that there are multiple learning styles and I like to meet students where they are to explore and bring out their learning style. This is typically a pivot point from going to struggling to grasping concepts. There is a point when the light bulb comes on, and it is an exhilarating experience for both the student and the teacher or coach.

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. I have worked as a classroom teacher (in Middle School and High School Choir as well as Elementary General Music) and a private lesson instructor of piano and voice. I also have extensive experience a performer on both of these instruments. I served for seven years as Musical Director at Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church where I learned to cultivate an ear for pianistic improvisation as well. My guiding philosophy as an educator is to give students the tools they need to achieve their own academic goals. As a tutor, I help students identify these goals and develop strategies to work towards them. This helps to foster an independence when it comes to academic achievement. This independence is essential for true success. I am available to tutor in the following subjects: Music, Music Theory and AP Music Theory.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Middle School Education and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. I am currently an 8th grade English Language Arts teacher. I've taught Language Arts for 12 years and social studies for three years. I've tutored and assisted children with spelling, reading, and writing in grades K-12.I enjoy reading, writing, and going to the beach for vacation. I have a passion for educating and motivating children so that they can be successful in life.

I graduated from Central Michigan University with a BA in Sports Management. I am a life-long learner and have an extensive education. I have shared that education and experience over the years by teaching elementary school, special education, and tutoring. I also have a background in music and languages. To go along with all of this, I have been serving in the United States Army since 2002 and have many cultural experiences as well as first-hand historical accounts of many worldwide events over the past century. Also, my job in the Army required me to learn Russian. I understand how to learn languages and if you need assistance, I do have some language resources that might benefit you. It would be my absolute pleasure to tutor you and to give you whatever I can to help you succeed!

In my 25+ years of teaching experience, I have been fortunate to work with K-12 students in various ways. My love for writing and literature and my desire to help others is why I continue to love teaching. In addition to being an English teacher, I have helped with all subjects, at all levels. Creating a caring and safe environment, while building positive relationships, is an integral step in working with students. I received my Bachelors in Ed degree from Central Michigan University; majoring in English and Special Education. I received my Masters of Educational Leadership: Principalship from Saginaw Valley State University.

I received a BA in Education and English, with a concentration in ESL at Calvin College, and a MA as a Reading Specialist from Central Michigan University. For the past 25 years, I have successfully taught students in Grades K-8 in a public school setting, as well as supporting high school students as they work toward English literacy and/or fluency. My belief is that students deserve to have a caring, well-educated adult to support them as they study and grow educationally, and I have had the honor of having developed great teacher-student relationships. I look forward to working with you soon, and am eager to see you succeed!

I've taught Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade students. I have certifications in teaching reading. I love working with kids but I've also worked with teachers training them on how to teach students to read. Your child is going to really enjoy our time together. I bring my love of reading and traveling into the classroom and so we can learn so many new things. I can't wait to meet you and your child!

Hi everyone! My name is Jin. I'm from South Korea and currently living in Arizona. I studied Counseling for undergraduate degree and am now pursuing a Master's in Counseling. When I was young, I lived in China for 10 years, and I experienced the challenges of learning a foreign language firsthand. I understand how frustrating and rewarding the process can be. This experience taught me the value of patience, persistence, and finding joy in the process. As your Korean tutor, I'm here to support you through your own language-learning journey. Let's learn and grow together making each step enjoyable and meaningful!

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University. I received my Bachelor of Applied Arts in Family Studies with a focus on Youth Studies and Substance Abuse Education. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, teaching ESL in many countries such as South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Philippines, Ecuador, Tanzania, and Czech Republic where I also got my TEFL certification. Once coming back to the states, I taught ESL in Los Angeles for awhile before moving more mainstream primarily tutoring math, sciences, and helping students prepare for the ACT and SAT college exams. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. While learning is so important during a tutor session, I feel it is almost equally important to build a friendship relationship with my students as well. I have found this to have a significant factor in wanting to tutor and more importantly wanting to continue tutoring together. Most of my students I have continued tutoring throughout their school career, only stopping due to graduation. In my spare time, I enjoy snuggling and playing with my cats, hiking, and watching movies.

I have been a teacher for 33 years in the department of English in over a dozen colleges. Most recently I have taught dual enrolled students in eighth through twelfth grade. I am a advocate of education on all levels. I teach critical thinking to lengthen writings. I am a grammar person. I love public speaking and teach all levels of communication in the classroom. I have had well over 3,000 students through the years. I value diversity in the classroom and in society also. I love research and know MLA and works cited pages. Literature analysis is my fave subject.

Thinking about my own experience in education, I appreciate the incredible impact that teachers have on the lives of young people. I know that teachers provide skills and knowledge used by young people throughout life. Therefore, as a teacher, my greatest aim is to be a role model. I want to cultivate open minds, the knowledge and ability to look at the world critically, and students' belief in their own capacity to make positive contributions to society. I began teaching as a teacher's assistant at the University of Michigan in 2015. I grew my skills and began a teaching position during my Master's degree until I graduated in 2018. Since then, I have taken multiple adjunct professorships, which has given me plenty of experience in classroom-based teaching. I have taken time to set up the classroom for lessons, lab activities, and study sessions. This experience has taught me about the importance of differentiation in lesson planning and how to cater to different student learning. This year I have been chosen as a STEM mentor, which has various responsibilities such as organizing times to meet with my mentees, helping them with life goals, and developing plans to getting careers. I enjoy this role because I feel it is important to help students achieve their goals not just in the classroom but in the real world as well. My inspiration for teaching stems from my own school experience; particularly because of my Biology teacher. I felt valued because she treated me as an individual, encouraging me to constantly improve myself. My teacher's enthusiasm and commitment motivated us to work hard. Between January and June 2019, I spent time as an educational curator in a challenging school district. I worked with 1st to 4th-grade students. The contrast between this school and the other school systems I worked in for this company was significant I found that a greater variety of styles of teaching were used I expected. I recognize the importance of communication within teaching; something I learned from working for the Biology department during my Master's degree starting in August 2015. I was an assistant in zoology courses and had to liaise and plan with teachers to help with different activities. In January 2016, I was offered the same role again, but this time I was given the opportunity to independently plan and develop an activity. It had to be based on different organism's anatomy, with the aim of the project to become a study tool to use throughout the semester. My undergraduate and master's degree in Biology has given me an understanding of many different concepts. This general understanding is important for teaching. I am now confident that the high school and college-age range is where my main interest in teaching. I currently teach General Biology, Environmental Science, Human Biology, and Anatomy and Physiology. I also teach environmental science at a day camp for K-12 grade students and I have gained confidence in that category as well! My skills in responsive thinking, sensitivity, patience, high motivation, and enthusiasm are valuable skills that I want to pass onto others. This is my motivation for pursuing a career in teaching and I feel that I have a lot to offer young people.

Greetings from Gainesville, Florida which is home to the famous University of Florida. I possess a current professional teaching license from the Florida Department of Education in K-12 Reading, K-12 ESOL/ESL, and K-6 Elementary Education, and my teaching specialties are English, reading comprehension, and writing including SAT and ACT preparation. I taught grades 7-12 for 12 years in Florida using Achieve 3000 for the FCAT reading assessment and Read 180 for struggling readers. I use online fiction and nonfiction articles, SAT and TOEFL exam preparation booklets, and various websites which allow me to teach reading, comprehension, writing, and speaking better to my students. I also taught elementary school, all subjects, overseas for four years in the Middle East and Germany. I currently tutor several Chinese students online in English speaking, reading, and writing and also adults in conversational English at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. I hope to work with you soon! Thank you for reading and best wishes. Regards, Maria

As a dedicated educator currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Business Administration at Central Michigan University, I bring over 2 years of tutoring experience along with more than 5 years of classroom teaching. My specialties include College English, ESL/ELL, and elementary reading and writing. I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and develop their skills. My teaching philosophy centers on personalized instruction, adapting my approach to meet each student's unique needs and learning styles. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am committed to guiding them on their academic journeys. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and exploring new cultures, which enriches my teaching and allows me to connect with students on a deeper level.

I am a graduate from Central Michigan University's Honors Program where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a minor in Mathematics. Since graduating, I have earned my Masters in Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology from the University of Virginia where I'm continuing on to earn my PhD in the same field. Once I earn my degree, I aspire to be a lecture professor for undergraduates with a focus on biochemistry and immunology. These subjects are exciting, but I feel students lose interest due to the mathematics involved. My extensive experience with tutoring and being a teaching assistant has inspired me to make mathematics and biological sciences more accessible and inspiring. I started tutoring mathematics (algebra through calculus) in high school and continued tutoring during my undergraduate degree in mathematics, analytical chemistry, chemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. For any subject, I like to break down the lessons into manageable concepts with different analogies to keep things fun and memorable. I love sharing my knowledge, and I firmly believe that mathematical and scientific thought benefits from creative minds.

I am a graduate of Texas A and M University, where I earned my B.S. Degree in Interdisciplinary Skills with an emphasis in Mathematics. I have also earned a M.A.Ed degree from Central Michigan University, completing a degree in Adult Education so that I could better understand ways to assist future educators and parents with their own students. I have spent the past seven years teaching and traveling internationally while exposing my family to varied cultures across the world. The invaluable experiences have only increased the passion with which I teach moving forward in my career. I enjoy teaching all ability levels and although my specialization is in mathematics, I have had an extensive amount of time teaching students with varying learning differences (including ADHD, dyslexia, giftedness, and many more). I am a lifelong learner and my plan is to inspire the same desire in others along my journey.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University (BA: History, International Relations, Social Relations, and Political Theory), The University of Strathclyde (MSc: Historical Studies), and Central Michigan University (MA and ABD: History). I have taught college (history and honors writing) and test prep for the past fourteen years. I have also worked as a tutor, book editor, author (on test prep), game-based-learning instructor, and standardized test designer and scorer during these years. While I teach a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Writing, and Test Prep. While I do not have formal training in teaching either non-traditional or alternative learners, I have been successful in helping students of all backgrounds achieve academic success.

I am a Michigan Certified teacher. Secondary degree with a middle level endorsement. Majored in Mathematics, Minored in English/Language Arts. Last year I taught at middle school in Michigan. I had two 7th grade math classes, one 8th grade math class, and 3 different math intervention classes (5th, 6th, 7th grade).Unfortunately, I had to resign from that position to move with my husband for his job. We are now making Minnesota our new home. While I transition to a Minnesota license and job, I want to continue to help students succeed.All throughout college, I tutored in classrooms and in after-school programs. I understand the importance of one-on-one attention for some students who struggle. I want to give the individualize attention and instruction to students who really want to succeed and understand the academic concepts deeper.In my free time, I love to be outside doing anything like hiking, camping, kayaking, etc. Seeing any type of animal brightens my day. I also play video games (both playstation and on PC).The core of my teaching philosophy is making connections with students so that we have a trusting relationship for students to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

30 years experience in teaching both art k-12 and all subjects K-8.Fine artist in both painting, drawing and three dimensional arts.Ability to communicate and identify the best method of learning a student requires, either by demonstration, verbal explanation or hands on. Will use the ideal method of tutoring to accomplish the highest level of mastery possible for each lesson or activity. Patience is key in my tutoring.

After studying Biochemistry at Long Beach State and graduating with a Bachelor's in Psychology from Central Michigan University, I have a thorough background in Natural Sciences & Mathematics. My expertise in Mathematics and Science also comes from over three years of experience tutoring students ages eight and above in simple to complex Math, Chemistry, Essay Writing, Study Skills, and more. I find great reward and drive in assisting students work through challenges. I am not one to teach as much as guide because I believe in individuals' capacities for growth in efficient learning. My goal is to provide as much information as possible to every student in how to best develop personalized methods for maintaining an open mind for effective learning and memory. My methods can be, at least in part, attributed to my passion for motor sports, which began in rural Michigan. Through racing, I embrace incredible focus which assists me in every area of life. I encourage every student to seek their passions in life, as well as healthy calming and focusing techniques in order to be the most motivated and successful each individual can be.

Sharon White, M.S.A., B.F.A. I am a K12 educator and experienced tutor who enjoys helping students build confidence and succeed academically. I specialize in elementary and middle school math, reading comprehension, ELA and test preparation. I have taught 4th grade as a matha and science teacher. I've specifically focused on elementary resource, working one-on-one and small group based on student needs. I'm experienced in phonetics and reading needs. As a classroom educator and remote tutor, I have worked with students from elementary through high school in both traditional and online learning environments. I focus on breaking down challenging concepts into clear, manageable steps so students feel supported while developing independent learning skills. My sessions are encouraging, engaging, and tailored to each student's needs. My goal is not only to improve grades, but to help students feel confident in their ability to learn and solve problems.

I have a BA in English from Michigan State University and a MA in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts from Central Michigan University. I also completed 4 years of doctoral studies in American Culture Studies (an inter-disciplinary field that encompasses Film, American History, Sociology, and English) at Bowling Green State University, in Ohio.I have taught courses both online and in traditional classroom settings. Those courses included Film, American Culture Studies, Speech Communication (which includes Public Speaking), and Popular Culture. Currently, I am an instructor for the Art Institutes. I have been with them for 7 years. In addition to my current teaching duties, I also give lectures in Art History.My research interests include Medical Sociology, Comparative Religion, Video Games, and Narratology.I am passionate about teaching because I think learning is important. Education is important. I like to see students learning, because I know how good it feels when you learn something for the first time, or when you finally make a breakthrough in something you have been working hard to achieve. Your mind opens. Your world expands. New horizons await. Learning does that. Education does that. Now, more than ever, you need to make opportunities for yourself, to grow, to advance, to achieve. I am honored to help students start down a path toward making those opportunities happen.I am qualified to tutor a broad range of subjects, but I most excited about helping students improve their overall abilities in all facets of English (including Literature), Art, and Social Studies. That does not mean you need to be majoring in those areas. If you are taking a course in one of those areas, whatever your major might be, I want to help you.My approach to teaching is in guiding students toward realizations. I enjoy interacting with students, creating a dialog, helping them come to their own conclusions, rather than simply giving them the conclusions. My style is informal, but focused. Learning should be engaging, not boring. Some of the best professors I had over the years were in courses outside my majors. Even though I had little interest in the subject matter, they made the material engaging, and I learned a lot.Outside of academic pursuits, I do a lot of weight-lifting, and I enjoy being outdoors. I do study popular culture, so my hobbies and research interests are the same. I am a gamer. I also collect books of all kinds (and comic books), and I do a lot of writing. Also, huge Doctor Who fan.

Hello! My name is Jaime Rakowski, or "Mrs. Rakowski" to my students. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University as well as Kennesaw State University. In the 8 years after I graduated from CMU with my Bachelors of Applied Arts in Child Development, I worked in many daycares as my husband and I moved for his job. During this time, I worked with infants-school aged children. After settling down here in Georgia, I went back to KSU to earn a second bachelors degree. This time it was a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from KSU, I was hired to teach 3rd grade at the elementary school that I student taught for. I spent 3 years in 3rd grade and moved down to 2nd grade where I taught an additional 3.5 years. In early 2021, I also received my ESOL certification.Working with children from birth-5th grade, I have seen the huge importance of early childhood literacy. Early literacy has a major impact on a student's success in and out of the classroom. This is where my passion lies. But reading isn't the only thing that I love to teach! I also love math and social studies. Above all, I love to learn and I love to foster and build that love of learning within each of the students that I work with.

A little about me....I've been in the Human Resource professional for over 20 years working with large, mid-sized and small companies in various industries to include manufacturing, financial services, non - profit sector, transportation, and education.Prior to joining Varsity Tutors, I worked in HR management positions with Detroit News (Gannett), DHL and DeVry Education Group.I earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Central Michigan University with a major in Human Resource Management and MS in Human Resource Management from Keller Graduate School of Management. I've been in your shoes... I earned my Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). Also, I'm a member of the Society for Human Resource Management and the Northern Illinois Human Resource Council.Looking forward to helping you on your journey toward HR certification!

I have had an amazing teaching journey over the past 22 years. I have a wealth of experience in K-8, dually certified in General and Special Education. One of my most memorable experiences was teaching abroad in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates as an English Medium Teacher and an Inclusion Coach. It was exciting not only to teach children the English Language, but to learn and experience the cultural opportunities. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner. My philosophy is that children are unique and can learn in different ways. It is my desire and duty to provide engaging, high quality educational experiences to ensure that students meet their maximum potential.

I have always used the philosophy that anything worth doing, is worth doing right. This is also very true in the learning process. Some content may be difficult to understand, but with effort and persistence, it can and will get done.I currently hold a professional secondary teaching certificate which allows me to teach/tutor grades 7-12 in all sciences. I really enjoy the earth sciences and physical sciences. I think that there are tons of examples that we can observe in the world around us everyday.I enjoy being outdoors, especially on the water. I love summer time and try to get outside as much as possible.

"No Child has an Expiration Date!" I am a proud graduate of Central Michigan University and the University of Detroit Mercy. I received my Masters of Arts degree in Teaching Elementary Mathematics over 20 years ago. Since graduation, I was nominated, "Michigan Teacher of the Year." I was selected out of many applicants, as one of our district's Master Math Teachers. I am most passionate about instilling the love of Math in my students. One way this love of Math has been displayed is when I provided the 1st District-Wide Math Bee template to the former Math Director. My Math Bee template set the stage for our District's annual Math Bees(over 8 years ago.) I believe every student can excel in Math, regardless of their learning style and their zip code. I have had remarkable success with my students over the years (My students' test scores have afforded me the opportunity to earn the honorable title, "Master Math" teacher.) I am most proud of the title, "Mom." I have three children.One of my children was diagnosed with a learning disability. It brought me so much joy to create songs and rhymes to help him learn Math in his own classroom. My special needs son has since graduated(C/O 2019.) My daughter received a scholarship to Michigan State(C/O 2020.) My youngest son is currently in high school. In my spare time, I enjoy learning new Math techniques, bike riding and watching basketball.

I believe science should be made accessible AND understandable by all! Many struggle to grasp the more complex ideas their science classes present the first time through, and often there just isn't time in the classroom to slow it down when necessary to meet the extra needs of a few while the rest move onward. This can have a snowballing effect, worsening and worsening over time, and I believe the trick to breaking out of the trap is some straight-forward, straight-language tutoring!

I am a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of experience in various healthcare positions. I served on active duty in US Air Force. I'm interested in helping nursing students face the challenges of nursing school. It can be overwhelming, but you can definitely do it! I'd love to help you in the process!Education: Bachelors in Nursing, Masters in Healthcare Administration, School Nurse Certification

I graduated from Central Michigan University with a MSA in general administration. My bachelors degree is in HRA/MGT. I have an associates degree in math, chemistry and biology. I taught math and science in the public and private school sectors for over 20 years grades 6-12. Before I became a teacher I worked in scientific research for a bio-science company for 20 years. I believe every student can learn and excel in any educational endeavor they choose. As a teacher I have accustomed myself to the many learning styles and diversity of the modern classroom. I retired from classroom teaching in 2015. However, I have been teaching part-time and full-time since my retirement. I love what I do and I fully enjoy the opportunity help students be successful. Having two consecutive careers in science and education allows me to help students bridge the gap between theory and practice. Out of the classroom I enjoy playing tennis, reading, walking, exercising and travel.

I have taught Spanish throughout the K-12 levels. I have taught elementary K-4 Spanish,high school Spanish 1 and 2, and most recently, middle school Spanish 1 which is the equivalentto a high school Spanish 1 course. I have a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction which I put to use when implementing the elementary Spanish curriculum in our district.I have taught Spanish for 21 years and was a stay at home mom for 10 years with our daughter.I have taught in Milwaukee, Ann Arbor and Pinckney, Michigan.When teaching Spanish I use games, songs, rhymes, paired activities, group activities andindividualized strategies as all students have unique learning styles. I strive to build a familyatmosphere in a classroom setting where all students can grow.I love to tutor as it is an individualized approach with 1 or more students. Students gain confidence and reinforcement in the subject area they are being tutored in when in a 1-1 setting or in a small group. They can ask questions and engage more freely when being tutored versus in a large group setting.The enjoyment and reward I get for building an excitement for learning and studying Spanish makes me an outstanding Spanish tutor.I encourage you to contact me to learn more about how I can help you to become more successful in Spanish.

As a student-centered educator with nearly two decades of teaching experience, in my tutoring I prioritize listening to students and building their capacity to achieve their goals. I pride myself on being responsive, patient, and my student's biggest champion.

I've been a tutor for more than 10 years. I received my Master of Fine Arts degree from Bowling Green State University and Master of Arts degree from Central Michigan University. I received my undergraduate degree in English and History from CMU. For many years, I've taught English, Communication, and Sociology at the college level. I am very active in my community. English is my passion. Currently, I serve as secretary on the board of directors at Raise It Up Youth Arts and Awareness. I also teach a creative writing course at the Boys and Girls Club in Flint, Michigan. In addition, I serve as volunteer Retention Trainer for the American Red Cross Club.I enjoy working with learners of all ages. As a tutor, I see it as my my responsibility to help my clients strengthen their knowledge bases. Whether it's History or an English literature assignment, I like to work with learners until the assignment is complete and, more importantly, they feel confident in facing the challenges that come with any subject.

I am a grandmother of seven. I am a retired executive director of a non-profit after-school program.

I am a graduate of Lincoln Memorial University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. My Masters and Specialist Degree are both in Curriculum and Instruction. This is my 16th year in Education. I have taught 2nd through 6th grade. I have also taught GED and ESOL classes. I am a certified ESL instructor. I am currently a Middle School Literacy Coach. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Critical Reading. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading portion of the exams. I am a huge advocate of education, believing it to be essential for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling (I love cruises), and spending time with my family.
