I graduated with a degree in English/Creative Writing from Vanderbilt University where I earned Dean’s List Honors, receiving an A in every English course I enrolled in.

I am an experienced tutor with an extensive background in both Chemistry and Mathematics. I pride myself in taking difficult concepts and making them easy to understand and apply. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Western Michigan University as well as a post-graduate degree. I believe that most students learn best when being shown a concept, then practicing the concept with the tutor before finally demonstrating competency on one's own. This method builds confidence...

Steven
Patient and a good listener
I was a teaching assistant for an undergraduate math class for two semesters when I started the statistics graduate program at Western Michigan University. During that year and the following year I worked in the tutor lab helping math and statistics students. Additionally, I have some experience tutoring high school students in algebra, geometry, and precalculus. Statistics can be a confusing subject. However, I feel many students don't enjoy studying statistics because it's not taught well.... Read more

Greetings. I am an English teacher of grades 7-12. I last taught in North Carolina in a small school where I had to prepare for a lot of different classes each day (six), but many of the classes were quite small (the smallest was six students). From this I learned to work hard in preparing for my classes and to pay careful attention to each individual in my class. I found that my favorite classes were those where I got to spend the most time one-on-one with students. My students and I had a l... Read more

In addition to being bilingual--fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Spanish, I have worked in cross-cultural situations for many years. As a Peace Corps volunteer in Belize, I was assigned exclusively to the 4-H Youth program which specifically targeted rural young people of disadvantaged situations of Creole, Garifuna and Mayan descent, who were then brought to the National 4-H Centre for further training in agricultural and living skills. As a volunteer with Youth With a Mission (an ... Read more

Whether it’s reading a great book, pursuing an interesting research question, or cranking out a first class essay, I’m having fun and I’ll make sure you do too. In addition to a teaching certificate in English and Social Sciences, I can offer you help with two of the most pressure-filled and frustrating writing assignments you are likely to face: the college application essay and the research paper. As a wri... Read more

I am passionate about government, and I enjoy helping others to better understand it. Our system of government, from Congress to city councils, affects everyone. In order to participate effectively as citizens, we have to understand both politics and history. Fortunately, all of us can do something to make our government more effective. Politics caught my attention when I was a student. I earned a Bachelor's degree in political science at Eastern Michigan University. Later, I attended gra... Read more
Alyssa
Spanish/psychology tutor

I grew up playing soccer and was very involved in the soccer community. When I wasn't practicing or playing, I spent a lot of time coaching younger kids. I assisted both boys and girls teams, and refereed for children of all ages. That's where I got my start working with children. I think starting out coaching in an athletic setting made for a perfect transition into teaching in an academic one. I've learned how to challenge my students, assess their individual needs and tailor my teaching to... Read more
