I am a passionate educator with more than ten years of experience. I particularly enjoy teaching languages (English and Spanish) to children, teens, and adults. I'm available for other subjects as well - my strengths are math and communications (writing, public speaking, editing, etc.).

From the time I was five years old I knew I wanted to be a teacher. It was an unshakable desire in my bones. It comes naturally to me, no matter the setting.In both my current and former positions I worked with other professionals to develop new methods of teaching, development of curriculum and training for both adults and students, and structure the content in the most effective way to deliver the information to the target audience. I am familiar, confident, and comfortable with multimedia in various forms and can apply them to most efficiently deliver educational content.My communication skills allow me to educate others in a way that is easily understood by all modalities of learners. I have a breadth of knowledge in regards to learning theory and use this information to help me guide instruction and professional development. Former and current coworkers as well as students have expressed that the ways I take the subject matter and develop instruction and development truly help them understand the content.
Teaching is a lifelong calling that continuously evolves alongside modern technology and digital tools. With more than 20 years of experience as an educator, ELA Coach, and Coordinator, I specialize in supporting exceptional students, including those who are gifted, on the autism spectrum, or simply in need of targeted learning support. I hold a Master's Degree in Special Education, an Autism Certification, and advanced training in foundational phonics. By building highly individualized lessons that tap into each child's unique interests and preferences, I ensure that learning feels relevant, fun, and engaging. I am a confident, positive, and supportive educator dedicated to taking a 'whole-child' approach with patience, ensuring your student learns in an environment where they truly feel seen, valued, and empowered to succeed.
I am a chemistry Ph.D. graduate of the Wayne State University. I have also been tutoring chemistry for more than six years.

During my spare time, I travel and read books.
I am a graduate of Wayne State University. My degree is a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting. I have obtained my CPA certification working at PricewaterhouseCoopers where I achieved the position of Manager in the Business Assurance field(auditing). Currently I am pursuing my MBA/MSF from Walsh College.
I am a graduate of Wayne State University and a current student at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health Honors with a minor in Chemistry in 2021. Throughout my undergrad, I partook in opportunities to teach others, from leading a youth program on civic engagement to training community members on first aid and how to respond to an overdose emergency. I am passionate about writing, art, the sciences, and medicine, though I can tutor various subjects and age groups! I am particularly passionate in aiding children to build their foundation in their core studies and adult learners in their road to higher education. I can aid struggling students to achieve MCAT scores they are proud of, especially in the CARS and Sociology/Psychology sections. I also have experience aiding students of various levels in their professional and academic writing and speaking. Notably, I have evaluated students' college application essays and am serving on my medical school's admissions team. I firmly believe every student has potential to succeed, and am honored to be a part of that journey. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, reading, and spending time with family and friends!
As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education from Wayne State University, I have over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience, currently teaching in Indiana. My passion lies in fostering a love for learning in my students, particularly in subjects like elementary math, reading, and American history. I employ a hands-on, interactive teaching approach that encourages curiosity and critical thinking, ensuring each student feels engaged and supported. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and I strive to create a positive learning environment that nurtures their growth.
A little bit of information about me.I find computer programming/development to be a very enjoyable occupation. There is something about putting the code together to create an application or a website that is very satisfying. Getting to see the results of the work that was done is very exciting.I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in IT in May 2014 with courses in C programming, HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, computer security, web design, graphic design, Adobe In Design and Adobe Illustrator. In May of 2017 I obtained my Master of Science degree in IT with courses in programming, computer security, operating systems, cloud computing and security in the cloud which was my area of specialization. Areas that I gained experience in through work were the Java programming language and Python, along with Microsoft Teams, Word and Excel, and Adobe Photo shop.One of the aspects of teaching, or tutoring a programming language that I like is passing on my enjoyment of writing programs and the excitement of learning how to code. When I have taught classes I try to encourage the students to explore what they can do with the language they are learning How to use it to accomplish their task or objective while also gaining an understanding of how it works. One of the best ways to learn coding of course is to use it to create something.When teaching in a group setting I try to encourage students to work together to solve problems. If one student is having some difficulties at a certain point or the code doesn't seem to be working as it should, I like to encourage everyone to contribute to solving the problem. This teaches them to work together, the same as they would if they were working on a project for a business, and to solve problems that can be encountered in coding. It's always great when a student is able to solve a problem in a program.Writing programs can take work and dedication, but it can also be fun. I try to create an atmosphere where the student feels good about what they can accomplish while having fun learning how to code.
My name is Nizam, and I graduated from Wayne State University in 2024 with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences. I grew up in Bangladesh and moved to the United States in 2011. Throughout my college experience, I discovered that teaching others helped deepen my own understanding of the material, which led me to pursue tutoring. I genuinely enjoy helping others learn, and the satisfaction of watching someone overcome a challenging problem is incredibly rewarding to me

Hi, my name is Ishan and I am currently a second year medical student at Wayne State University School of Medicine. Tutoring is something I have always been involved with. Throughout high-school, I tutored students in Algebra and Calculus. In college, I had an opportunity to work with younger students while also tutoring in organic chemistry. I love being able to help students succeed in all aspects. I am also adaptable to many different learning styles.
I am a graduate of Wayne State University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Education degree in 2001. I have also earned a Master in the Art of Teaching degree from Marygrove College in 2004 and a Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University in 2021. I have spent my entire career (21 years) teaching middle school students English-Language Arts, as well as a few years of Science. While I am new to tutoring, I have quite a bit of experience in teaching and working with students. I believe learning should be enjoyable, and fun, when possible. Education is vital for a meaningful, rewarding life, so when it is time to make critical decisions, the tools of logic and problem-solving can be put to use. I try to help all of my students develop skills which they will use not only in an academic setting, but also in the real-world. In my free time, I enjoy watching my two children compete in swimming, watching sports, and reading.

I am a graduate of Wayne State University with a Master of Arts and Doctorate in Industrial Organizational Psychology. My undergraduate degree in psychology is from University of Maryland. While my area of psychology has a fancy name, it's essentially the psychology of the workplace. It's closely connected to the human resources profession, and I've been working in the field for 25 years. My professional work is in organizational survey research and my work helps leaders understand the employee experience with all aspects of work. I've also served as a faculty member at different colleges and universities. I have taught a range of undergraduate psychology courses and graduate courses in psychology and human resources. I have taught research methods, statistics, and predictive analytics at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. My approach to teaching is to identify students needs and focus on the key info that helps them develop understanding and skills. I believe strongly that focusing on the use of knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. I enjoy helping students discover their own path to understanding and mastering complex material. I enjoy helping students as a way of giving back to those who helped me. Earning a degree in higher education is a personal journey that involves a lot of work as well as unique challenges and opportunities. Helping students to achieve their goals and improve their professional prospects is a great reward for me. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy photography, cycling, hiking, and traveling.
I am a recent graduate from Wayne State University and I majored in Honors Psychology and minored in Nutrition and Food Science. I will be attending the University of Michigan Medical School in July 2020. During my free time, I like to read, cook and explore Detroit!
I am a certified teacher currently teaching at a public high school. My certifications include mathematics and computer science. My ability to communicate and instill a growth mindset make me a superior teacher.
Since I was a small child, I knew that I wanted to help people. When I am old and fragile, I want to be able to look back on my life and smile about what I have accomplished. Joining the PhD program for Kinesiology at Wayne State University greatly supports me in this mission. As part of my education, I have had the privilege of being immersed in disability culture; this prepared me to pursue my Doctoral Degree in Kinesiology in Education.My interest in becoming an educator dates back to my early elementary years. As with most students, I had experiences with instructors that varied between the good, the bad and the ugly. When my experiences were good, I excelled, took risks, learn, and I would push myself to master a skill. With the bad instances, I would shy away and try not to be noticed by the teacher. I quietly attempted to look busy. The ugly experiences were where I would become embarrassed and completely disengage with a lesson and from an instructor. Even at a young age, I saw which one of these people I would want to model. So the seed was planted in my head to become not just an educator, but a person to inspire others to reach for the stars and strive to achieve their full potential. In my free time I enjoy basketball and teaching.
I am a senior at Wayne State University pursuing a bachelors degree in Economics with a minor in Public Health. I am also a pre-med student, and I expect to begin medical school July 2018.

I am a third-year medical student at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine in Michigan. I graduated from Wayne State University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in chemistry. I am currently tutoring material related to the USMLE Step 1 exam. During my undergraduate years, I worked extensively as a general chemistry tutor, where I developed a strong passion for helping students understand difficult concepts. Through my experience working with a wide range of learners, I've come to appreciate that students have diverse learning styles. I've also learned that effective tutoring goes beyond simply conveying information and requires building a genuine connection with each student to better understand their goals, challenges, and motivations. I believe my ability to connect on a personal level and tailor my approach to each student's unique needs is what makes me an effective tutor.
Greetings,I have a B.S. in Mathematics from Wayne State University and a Ed.M/Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix. I also completed the Secondary Mathematics Education (minoring in Physics) of the MAT certification program at Wayne State University. I owned a Kumon Math and Reading center in Detroit Michigan for 5 years and have been tutoring for over 20 years. I currently teach HS Mathematics from Pre-Algebra through Calculus I and I teach College Algebra at Grand Canyon University on-line. I have been with GCU for 7 years and I've taught high school Mathematics for 12 years. I enjoy tutoring the Algebra group and Geometry. Geometry became my favorite subject after studying higher Mathematics in grad school, I didn't like it so much in HS.
Hola! My name is Lindsey Mattson, and I recently graduated from Wayne State University with my Master of Arts in Spanish. This is my 14th year studying the language, as I began at age 13, and currently I am 27. During the 2020-2021 academic year, I taught my own Spanish courses online as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. During my undergraduate studies from 2015-2018, I worked as a Spanish tutor and worked with students from ages 18-75. Because of this, I am very adaptable to different age groups and people of different backgrounds. Helping others learn Spanish is my passion, and I would love to be of assistance to you!
I am an experienced teacher with over fifteen years experience, as well as a certified Veterinary Technician. I have taught in the traditional classroom setting and hands on science based science programs where I take students out in the field. I am a graduate of Wayne State University and have my Masters of Art from Columbia University Teachers College where I studied Anatomy and Physiology. I am continuing my education in Medical Laboratory Technology with the desire to teach it. I am passionate about science, especially Biology, and love to instill that passion in my students. I instill a variety of modalities when I teach and assess which one works best for a particular student. I believe all students can learn as long as their learning style is addressed. I love to travel, but not in the traditional ways; I white water rafted through Costa Rica, explored the rainforest on foot, hiked through Dominican Republic, and tracked wolves one summer in Yellowstone National Park. In my spare time I kayak, run and read a lot of science literature. I also enjoy being a backyard biologist exploring the plant and animal life that my surroundings have to offer.
The word, "education" is a mid-16th century term that has two different Latin roots: educare, which means to train or mold, and educere, meaning to lead or draw out. The former entails rote memorization, perfecting a trade, and becoming a productive laborer. The American educational system has widely adopted this ethos, especially in regards to children of the working class. Educere - necessitating critical thinking, inquisitiveness, and innovation - has by and large been factored out of the equation. Consequently, American scholarship and ingenuity has suffered. As an educator, I aspire to revive the spirit of educere for the children of the working class, drawing out every child's vast potential.I have accumulated years of successful experience as an educator in one form or another at all levels. To start, I was a tutor in my local community center throughout my time in high school. I tutored all K-12 grade levels, despite them sometimes being older than me! Moreover, I served a semester of student-teaching in a high school, teaching freshman Algebra and Pre-Calculus. This led to a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics/Biology Teacher Education from Wayne State University. Lastly, I worked as a middle school math and biology instructor for seventh grade students. I can tutor essentially all math subject areas, though Algebra is my specialty and personal favorite. I have successfully implemented Singapore math in my Algebra classroom, a teaching strategy that has proven to be very effective at that level of mathematics. With my expertise in my content areas, extensive training and successful implementation, and passion for education, I am well-equipped to help you reach your academic aspirations.
Hi, my name is Rachel. I am kind of an academic geek, a literature geek for sure. I love the feeling of being in the classroom and taking part in the discourse that goes on. In fact, if someone were willing to pay me to go to school indefinitely, I would probably take them up on that.I also love working with children and young adults. I feel like I connect well with the different age groups and know how to adjust my approach and interactions to get the best results.I believe that my background, abilities and personality make me the perfect choice to tutor your student.
I have 2 bachelors degrees from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.The first was a B.A. in Mathematics. The second was a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.I have 2 years of part - time tutoring experience, as well as coaching middle school football.I enjoy tutoring elementary and middle school math as well as reading and writing. I believe these are the building blocks for all future education and; if a student has a firm foundation in these areas, they should be able to more easily cope with future learning / educational experiences, whether in a school or workplace environment.I equally enjoy teaching both math and reading / writing.If a student has trouble reading or writing, they will probably always have trouble understanding things and being able to properly communicate with others.And being comfortable with math will help students be better able to analyze and solve non-math problems, whether personal or work environment, that they will encounter later on. They will be better able to think analytically.My tutoring style is to help students to think analytically. What is being asked? What information do you have? Do you have enough info. to solve the problem? Do you need to get more information? How can you get that info?Similar questions would apply to help a student with reading. What is the author talking about? Do you understand what you read? Would you like to read more articles / books like this? Why or why not?I enjoy tutoring because I like to help people. I was not a gifted student and had to work REALLY hard to get good grades. Hence, I can relate to a student who is struggling and doesn't easily "see" something. I am willing to try different approaches to help a student "see the light".My personal interests include travel, reading and exercise. I have exercised my entire life and continue to do so now. I believe that exercise is the "fountain of youth"!I have traveled to Asia, Europe and much of the US.I also enjoy reading. I have trouble keeping up with the magazines I get, as well as books I would like to read!And, of course, there are some interesting shows I watch on TV.I try to stay active, informed and in good health.I hope you found what I have written to be interesting and I hope that I will be able to help you.
Whether working over practice questions in a test booklet, reading an instructional manual or an obscure book for pleasure in a library corner, we are engaging with the words and ideas of others and measuring them for their value, use and relevance. Thinking is never done in total isolation anyway but rather is always a social exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise, that we get comfortable with the necessary repetitions of learning--reading and writing, listening and speaking with consideration. As social activity, strong teaching and learning allows us to consider knowledge production as constantly unfolding, knowledge production as a place where self-expression and communication within a larger community are not only welcome but of absolute necessity.
I spent twenty-five years building relationships with students; I just happened to teach English. Without that relationship, there is no trust, no confidence, and no inclination to change or grow. Students must have faith in us and believe in our faith in them. Thirty years ago, I left a career in the film business to teach because I needed a career that I felt mattered. One that was important. And working with young people is important. It was the best professional choice I ever made.
I am passionate about helping students because I want to see them learn and grow, just like my teachers helped me learn and grow. I have seven years of experience working with students. I received my education from Wayne State University and Buena Vista University. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences & Disorders and a Master of Arts in Curriculum Instruction and Teacher Leadership. I have tutored biology, algebra, phonics, and elementary school math. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because I am exceptionally good with number expressions and number equations. My teaching style is to help my students learn to their full potential. My tutoring style is to do a pre-test to check students' knowledge and understanding. After I explain the material, teach the student the skill needed, check for comprehension, re-teach, and check for comprehension again. After, I will make time for questions or any additional help.
My approach to teaching is more or less a fusion of my experiences as an undergraduate, my interests in philology and linguistics, and my teaching experience at the University of Minnesota.Teacher-centered vs. student-centered teaching:In my teaching I have maintained the principles of proficiency-based instruction, and have been content to spend more time in a student-centered atmosphere than I probably would have been hitherto.I will, however, switch to a more traditional approach at times, that is, to a teacher- centered environment, concentrating on specific issues of grammar, structure, or style. Students appreciate the input of an expert, especially when they have a very limited knowledge base in the target language.My warm-ups are most always based on one-on-one teacher-student interaction within the classroom, which encourages students to make themselves heard in a friendly and supportive environment. Such warm-ups in recent years have fallen in one of several categories:1. Asking students to give information about the world (which, I remind them, includes the classroom).2. Asking students to discuss what they did the previous evening.3. Asking students to discuss what they did not do the previous evening.4. Asking students to make statements and have the rest of the class determine whether those statements are true or not.5. Giving students 30 seconds to compose a question, which is then asked aloud.6. Having students suggest random "answers" and having other students pose appropriate questions.Reading:As teachers, we encourage students to read for general ideas, not details. This is, I feel, the logical and correct approach. The difficulty is that it is easier said than done, especially when one uses authentic materials designed for native speakers. Whatever the text, pre-reading exercises must be carefully chosen and students must be prepared for key vocabulary items that will appear in the text.I have attempted to assist in vocabulary building by creating picture dictionaries and matching exercises based on the reading, examples of which are to be found later in this document. I also stress and encourage reading aloud in class at all levels to practice pronunciation and sentence intonation. I have furthermore put together storyboards for first-year reading texts, so that stories can be followed more easily.Technology:In the last few years, I have found that technology has allowed me, as an instructor, to design materials that look more professional and creative. Using graphics programs and experimenting with word processing programs encourages one to think a bit more like a designer, and thus try to see things from a student's perspective.The importance of technology in the classroom has also become more clear to me over the years: in addition to fostering a variety of learning approaches, the use of videos, computers, chatrooms, and, especially, internet activities constantly reminds students that they are not learning some secret language of a classroom, but one spoken by millions throughout the real world.One must always beware, however, of using technology for its own sake. The fact that a good online or computer exercise exists does not mean it needs to be used. As a coordinator (see below) I encouraged my instructors to pick and choose which exercises and types of technology they felt benefitted students most and, moreover, to avoid those exercises in which the student's negotiation of the task becomes overly complex with regard to the objective.General:My success rate in the first, second, and third years has, I think, been very high, and I have always prided myself on the fact that my courses have been in the main both informative and entertaining. Students have appreciated my stepping back from the fore to let them carry out tasks and activities on their own, but they also like the fact that I am willing to take class time to explain concepts that are unclear or linguistic information that I find relevant. Indeed, in one first- year class, my eager and diligent students constantly pressed me for more and more philological information until I was forced to remind them that we had other material to look at in the modern language.My experiences have confirmed my beliefs that 1) traditional approaches can be used alongside newer ones as long as one's goals are clearly set, and 2) that how one teaches something is always as important as what one teaches.
I am a graduate of Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Art degree in honors English. Prior to deciding on an English major, I was a physics major and took several courses in math and physics. After graduation, I worked at Gale, Inc., a major publisher of reference books, writing and editing for their 'Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism' series. I've taught college courses in Shakespeare, modern American authors, and freshman composition. I'm also a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, with a Master of Arts in Theological Studies. I love to teach, and I've taught informally for several years in a number of different subjects, but I am most passionate about English literature and composition. I am especially adept at matching my teaching style to my students' learning styles, and can adjust to various ages and skill levels. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, live theater, playing chess, playing guitar, and spending time with my wife and children.
I am a PhD candidate at Wayne State University for Biomedical Engineering. I graduated in 2014 with a dual degree major in Biochemistry and Psychology. I have three years of undergraduate research experience working in a Computational Chemistry Lab and two years of experience working in a wet chemistry lab in industry. My research background helped deepen my understanding of core concepts taught in my biochemistry classes. On the other hand, my psychology background has trained me to be patient, and understanding of cognitive learning across all ages. I have been successful in using all of the mentioned skills to teach family and friends. I have had nothing but positive experiences tutoring and it gives me joy to foster the younger generations interests in math and the sciences. Some of my best teachers have been my hardest teachers and they have taught me to be persistent. This applies for me as a teacher and as a student as I do not leave work unfinished as a student nor am I able to leave another student without giving them a fair chance at success.
I have a Bachelor's of English and History from Lake Superior State University, a Master's in Literature from Central Michigan University, and a PhD in Rhetoric and Composition from Wayne State University. Since obtaining my PhD, I am certified work as director the writing center at Wayne State University and professor of undergraduate and graduate courses in the English department and Interdisciplinary studies. My professional and teaching experiences has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of students-from students in the nursing field, the radiology department, STEM, English, and beyond. I am also a chair or member of diverse committees at Wayne State University dedicated to student support, reading and writing initiatives, inclusivity and diversity, and interdisciplinary studies. I have experience teaching and tutoring a wide range of subjects and levels of education, but am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Writing in the Disciplines, Standardized Tests, Personal Statements, and College Applications, as that is my area of expertise. As a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I am a firm believer that anyone can learn, anyone can write, and anyone can be successful. I recognize that students or clients have prior experiences and knowledge that is unique to them and should be honored. Teaching and tutoring is one of my primary passions in life. I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of students with varied needs and strengths and have found great joy in collaborating, exploring, and learning together. I am passionate about helping students and clients meet their own personal, academic, and professional goals. In my spare time, I enjoy running, gardening, and painting. I cannot wait to work with you and collaborate on accomplishing your academic and professional goals!
Currently I am working as a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Physics Creighton University, and am stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York. I also function as an adjunct associate professor of physics at Hofstra University. I started tutoring physics back in my home country, Sri Lanka, during my Bachelors degree. Since then I have been involved in tutoring with high school, freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior students. The strongest reason why I am an excellent teacher is the fact that I truly love the subject. I have devoted over 12 years of my life to specialize in physics, thus I have a very clear understanding of the concepts and experienced in explaining those to students. I am a person with loads of patience, kindness and understanding specially when it comes to teaching. I am really good at coming up with real life examples to help student understand the important aspects of physics principles. Even though I have not taken the tests; SAT math and MCAT physics, I am very confident of tutoring the students who need assistance in both math and physics. As becoming a University Professor is my career goal, I am truly and honestly passionate about been engaged in teaching and mentoring students. Therefore I look forward to lend my helping hand towards students to prosper in their education, as well as to grow up as individuals whom will successfully coop with the responsibilities in our society. Other than been involved in teaching, I am a BIG fan of music and a great singer my self. I love travel, hiking and camping which makes me a nature lover too.
I am a recent graduate from Ross University School of Medicine and received my undergraduate degree at Wayne State University and am a resident in pediatrics. I am passionate about tutoring students in USMLE because I understand that it is a difficult time for us all. This test tests our strength, mental stability and our endurance for lengthy hours. My philosophy is and always will be do to do your best and strive for excellence. That is what I teach my students and with my help, they are able to obtain this. Outside of academics, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and reading while outside. I also have a puppy named Sketchy who I spend a great deal of time with.
I attended the University of Detroit Mercy where I gained a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I have also recently graduated with a Masters of Basic Medical Sciences from Wayne State University. As you may be able to tell, I have had a passion for science, especially biology, for many years. My academic journey has given me an immense amount of experience with a wide range of subjects and tests. I know very intimately what it is like to be under pressure to perform well in school and on tests and therefore can relate to students under similar circumstances. I have had the opportunity to tutor many people in a wide range of ages and academic abilities in the past.I tutor a wide range of subjects but am most passionate about Math, Science, Reading, Writing, and Test Preparation. I believe the first and most vital step in working with a student is to identify specifically where he or she is struggling. Every student is different and deserves a teaching method that is tailored to them. I believe students learn best when they are guided along through discussion and hands-on methods as opposed to when they are lectured to; I also believe learning can and should be fun! When it comes to preparing for tests, I believe that what you know is only a small part of the puzzle; perfecting test-taking skills is equally important. I have taken many standardized tests throughout my life, and have been able to do well by understanding the tests and utilizing these skills.When I have spare time, I enjoy staying active by playing basketball and exercising. I also enjoy reading, sports, music and traveling. I look forward to helping you find your full potential on the road to success.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Spanish and minors in French and English. My Master's Degree was in Spanish Bi-lingual, Bi-cultural Education. 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 have taught students from kindergarten through the university level. In addition to working in public and private schools, I have taught language classes at the community college and university level as an adjunct instructor. One great part of my job is to help students who think that learning a foreign language is IMPOSSIBLE discover how easy it can be when they understand language patterns, have the right tools, and the right guidance!
