Karl
Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Computer tutor
I am a math major from Eastern Michigan. I received my degree in 2009. I have worked many very difficult math problems over the years and should be able to help any high school student from algebra I through calculus. When I started in college, I was nervous about getting through calculus and algebra. I found some of the material hard to understand, but I overcame my difficulties and I like to pass along some methods for solving problems to save my student's time. I believe ever... Read more

I'm a certified teacher who's been teaching for eight years. I'm currently employed as a Reading Recovery Teacher for first graders. I provide intervention for both reading adding and writing. I ensure that my students will be reading at or above grade level. I build on prior knowledge that my students have, and I give individualized instruction, based on the students needs. I also use various manipulatives for hands-on learning to cater to the various learning styles of my students. I als... Read more

Life-long teacher continues to do what he likes to do best
My love for quietly contributing to the growth and success of the youth has been the driving force in my life-long career of teaching both high school and college classes both here in the United States and abroad. Out of this has grown my philosophy of learning to the effect that not only can everybody learn, we all learn all the time anyway whether consciously or unconsciously. And so, not only are we natural learners, we are naturally creative beings as well. No one comes to a learning sit... Read more

Experienced Ph.D. Educator: ACT, (P)SAT, English, Writing
I hold my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Michigan, where I have had the opportunity to teach courses in composition and the humanities to a wide range of students. As a tutor, I rely on humor, Socratic method, and mutual accountability to motivate and build rapport. I attend to the content knowledge as well as the mindsets that transform learning and have helped students raise test scores, prepare admissions packages, and master new skills. I always enjoy hearing from ... Read more
Evan
German Tutor - Detroit Area
I am deeply passionate about language and finding new ways to master the ways we communicate. I started learning German in 2007 and rocketed to a high proficiency in a relatively short time; I was the President of the Delta Epsilon Phi chapter of the German Honor Society, I scored a 4/5 on the Advanced Placement exam of knowledge of the German Language and Culture in 2010, and upon my acceptance to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, demonstrated a 2-year college proficiency. This sprin... Read more

I have been an Educator for the past 22 years. I have worked in Elementary, Middle and High School settings.

I use a great deal of analogies and past life situations that they are already familiar with to help them relate to the problem at hand.... Read more

Dedicated to Lifelong Enrichment, Learning and Improvement
I have been teaching and coaching in some form for most of my professional life. I’ve had the pleasure of receiving correspondence from a number of past students who say they appreciated my teaching methods, as it helped them become successful in their chosen fields. My professional teaching career began at the university level, where I taught 3rd and 4th year architectural design for 4 years at the University of Detroit. I have participated in a number of charter high school student men... Read more
Alicia
Spanish Teacher K-12 & Core Subjects for Elementary Students
I have a degree in Spanish from Michigan State University. I am currently a Spanish teacher for the Detroit Public Schools and I have loved teaching Spanish and culture to all of my students. My approach is not only the fundamentals of reading, writing and speaking the language, but the immersion of the culture itself (i.e., movies, music, foods, various dialects, etc.). I have had the pleasure of broadening hundreds of students horizons by allowing them to realize their own potential of actu... Read more

Nicole
Patient, Experienced Certified Teacher - Math, Science, Test Prep
I am passionate about learning and extremely patient, and will celebrate every success. I understand that students have different learning styles and my need to hear things explained several different ways before they understand it. Many students have told me over the years that they didn't like science before they had my class or they thought they were no good at math before my class. I like to use analogies of more familiar things to illustrate abstract science concepts, and use concrete... Read more
