As a first generation student, I was always taught that knowledge is power. The first priority in our life would be education because it would be what freed us from the confines of what previous generations endured. I am committed to fostering that intellect, individuality, and excitement that students deserve when it comes to pursuing their goals. I understand the road blocks, the exhaustion, the frustrations, and I want to do my best to make those disappear.I was bullied in school for my brown skin and embarrassed by teachers for not speaking English at home. It turns out that ethics and judgement are skewed when attending school in a city ranked, “one of the whitest in America.” Those learning environments were privileged, and yet personally unapproachable and uninspiring due to the stereotypes surrounding my ethnicity. If it was not language it was appearance. If not appearance, it was my cultural or religious beliefs. I learned I would need to fight to foster my individuality and intellect. There was always something that didn’t sit right with my peers and I knew I was not alone. I had many family and friends who experienced the same marginalization. We promised ourselves that we wouldn’t let the burden of these prejudices distract us from reaching our goals. Today, whether in academic or professional settings, I speak out on instances of discrimination and injustice. It is because I have embraced my identity that I use such instances as a moment to teach, spread mindfulness, and engage in my community to stifle the divisions we've sought to end for centuriesThis is why I believe knowledge is power. We are working together to bring all students up to speed in a educational system that does not work to do that on its own. Despite this being the case, I know that we can work together to garner your individual potential to not only work closely and successfully amid your peers but to ignite confidence and leadership in academic and professional settings to come!

I was born in metro-Detroit and spent much of my childhood in a rural north-central Kansas before returning to the Detroit area for high school.I graduated from University of Detroit Mercy with a biology degree and a minor in English literature. In college, I tutored biology, general chemistry and English and worked for three years as a teaching assistant helping students with biology, anatomy and physiology. It was through these experiences that I found I was passionate about teaching, and through my English coursework I found I was passionate about research.Upon graduation, I worked in clinical research in a private rheumatology practice, where my team worked on ground-breaking clinical drug trials and ultimately delivered new, efficacious therapies to patients suffering with rheumatic disease.Today, I work in research in complex congenital heart disease and pediatric cardiac surgery at C.S Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI. My job involves applying the scientific knowledge gained in the classroom toward discovering new ways to improve clinical outcomes for children who have had congenital heart surgery. I will be applying to medical school in summer 2021.I'm passionate about the subjects I teach. I've witnessed how the lessons learned in the classroom can be transformative to your life and the lives of others.

You will learn how to learn and create a mental scaffolding of concepts to build on for the rest of your life.It is my pleasure to serve on Varsity Tutors and I very much look forward to working with you and your family.Blake

Education has always been very important to me. I earned my BA in English from University of Detroit, MA in Publication and Media Design from University of Baltimore, and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center. I'm currently pursuing a second BA in Computer Science at Florida State University. I am a former Air Force Communications-Computer Systems Operations officer. I love math and enjoy helping others understand it. I've tutored reading and junior high math in the past and I've taught software classes. While some math concepts are just a matter of memorization, I like to help students understand the WHY. When you understand why, the learning begins and you'll hopefully never forget. When I'm not being an academic, I enjoy programming (Java and Android), playing guitar, singing, traveling, going to the movies, and being with friends and family.

I have a teaching certificate and according to the state of Michigan standards, I am "highly qualified" to teach Spanish, French and ESL k-12.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus on literature and History. I also minored in Museum Studies. Since graduation, I have been working 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. I have always loved both History and English, and I always try to find a way to make these subjects as interesting and fun as possible.

I have completed my doctoral degree in education from Grand Canyon University, EdD. I have received two master's degrees: an MBA-Finance and an MA in Adult Education. My undergraduate degree was in nursing science. I have been tutoring students for over thirty years, preparing each to pass standardized tests for entry into a healthcare profession. Being the only child and coming from a very poor environment, I learned the opportunities that having an education can provide for you and your family. Education improved the quality of my life and my family. As a creative and innovative educator, leader, and professional administrator, I thrive on challenges and change. Nurturing and encouraging the lifelong learning of students is critical in the role of an educator. Techniques like case studies, activities, discussions, and even humor can prompt students to think critically, creatively, and explore their natural curiosity. As an educator, students will feel that no question is too silly to ask. My educational beliefs are based on the fact that learning is a possibility for everyone. Learning occurs when the educator is able to link, in the brain, a bridge from the lack of knowledge to new knowledge, then the student comprehends.

Eager to teach students to learn and improve in whatever subject is necessary.
