Award-Winning Tutors from Eastern Michigan University

My name is Andi, and I am a certified math teacher in Arizona. I recently finished my Master's degree in Education. I have tutored SAT/ACT, math, and reading for over seven years. My goal as an educator is to provide students with outstanding instruction. I am dedicated to sharing my passion for mathematics and reading with my students to create a positive learning environment. During middle school and high school, I struggled with math, so I understand the anxiety associated with the subject. I would love the opportunity to work with your student to help them set and achieve their goals, as well as build their confidence!

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.

High school math teacher turned stay at home mom. 5 years of teaching experience, 10+ years of tutoring experience. I've taught Geometry, Remedial Algebra, SAT Prep, and STEM.

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.

I love to help students build on their strengths and while working on opportunities. Understand their goals and challenges. I ensure students have a clear understanding of fundamentals, develop a love for learning and help them succeed

It is my mission to help students to show growth and be successful in languages. Having earned 3 degrees in languages, curriculum, and instruction, I have been intentional in learning the best way to support and prepare the learner. Now, having taught all levels of Spanish, I understand the vertical alignment necessary to progress through each level and how to encourage the learner to advocate for themselves.

I am a recently retired Secondary Math teacher. I taught at the high school level for 40 years. During that time I also tutored students after school. I have taught/tutored all classes from Algebra I to Pre-Calc, and I enjoy teaching and tutoring all 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 why those steps have to be taken. I also encourage them to look for alternative ways to approach a situation. I believe these techniques help the students to develop a stronger understanding of Mathematics.In addition to teaching for 40 years, I also coached basketball and golf at the high school level, and I was a head varsity coach for both sports for over 25 years. At home I enjoy playing golf, working on my lawn and garden, bird watching, and working out.

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. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but my favorites are reading, writing, and cooking. I have taught all ages in elementary school classrooms, and all subjects. In addition, I have led after-school science club, Sunday School, and tutored students who use English as a second language. My most recent experiences have been in physical education and art as a community volunteer.

Whether in a computer science, Japanese, Worship Arts, chess, or other class, I have always loved helping other students learn. I am currently a Junior at Eastern Michigan University. I am majoring in computer science and minoring in mathematics - statistics. With great scores for English, writing, editing, science, and math on standardized tests and nearly straight A's in high school, I feel qualified to help others in these subjects. I want to meet students where they are at.

I love to teach! I believe anyone can learn. A student has to be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that.Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly.After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work with new people and to experience teaching in a whole new way!

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.

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 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 have been interested in education most of my adult life. I earned a Bachelor's degree in 2004 in Physics Education with a minor in Mathematics from Eastern Michigan University. While I was studying for my degree, I began my tutoring by working as a communal tutor for the physics department in the winter of 2002. Soon after, I began my time as an online tutor in the fall of 2002. Once I finished my degree, I worked as a high school teacher for two years, teaching math and physics. I maintained my online tutoring job on the side. I have also taught at the college level for over 4 years part-time. All combined, I would say that I have over 10 years of experience.

Over my 20-year career in academia, I have had the privilege of being a student or research academic at many universities -- including Princeton University, University of Alaska Fairbanks, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Eastern Michigan University, Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, and Madison College. As a polymath graduating with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude (3.98 GPA), I earned a second bachelor's degree in Professional Geology with a noncompulsory minor in Earth Science (i.e., hydrologic and atmospheric sciences) from Eastern Michigan University in 2021.As part of my geology field work, I was one of a few individuals competitively selected from outside the University of Alaska to take part in UAF's prestigious summer field geology program. Given that my field work entailed cruising the Alaskan wilderness in bush planes to remote regions of the alpine tundra and learning how to fend against grizzlies, I have anything but a typical geology education.In addition to receiving many academic distinctions (fellowships, scholarships, and awards) across my career and several publications in world-class peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Paleontology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Current Biology, I have also had digital illustrations featured in publications such as Nature, The New York Times, New Scientist, and Discover Magazine. I was a student member of professional organizations such as The Geological Society of America, the American Institute of Professional Geologists, and more.I was previously Lead Instructor for a National Science Foundation supported education technology startup. I served approximately 10,000 secondary students over that career and have been lauded by educators in top-rated school districts for my capacity to distill complex ideas into easy to digest metaphors and analogies.No matter whether you are a high school environmental student, a gen-ed fulfilling undergraduate, or a budding geoscientist, if you want to academically succeed, contact me.

I have been teaching people throughout as during my time in college I have often helped classmates with their assignments and in understanding the subjects, as well as being often asked at my jobs to be the one to train new employees that have been hired, I've also been brought in to tutor children as an assistant from time to time. My main specialty of tutoring falls under the category of graphic and web design in subjects such as HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After Effects and other adobe programs, however I am also able to tutor in some Math. My approach to tutoring is that I try to appeal to the individual I'm teaching, and try to explain it in a way that appeals to said learning style, if I'm tutoring someone that learns better with visuals then I will be using more pictures and other visual aids, while as someone who prefers reading I can simply read to them by the book. I am a firm believer that programing is the future, and I hope that I can teach my skills in such fields to those children so they can have a bright successful future. In my spare time, I enjoy some video games, as well as watching anime/reading manga from time to time, as well as trying to learn more about the subjects of interest to me.
