I did my undergraduate studies at Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I received my MBA in Healthcare administration at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, MI. I have been involved in tutoring since MSU, where I held a teaching assistant position in the Foreign Language department. In more recent years, I have been working with the Big Brother/Big Sister program, tutoring students within the elementary and middle school age groups.My background in psychology gives me a greater appreciation for the various teaching techniques. Everyone learns differently and whether I am tutoring 5th grade math, psychology, or a foreign language, it is important to adapt to the student's unique way of learning, some of which may be unconventional.I grew up on two different continents (North America and Africa) which has given me very rich and diverse cultural awareness. I enjoy traveling the world and have spent time in places like Japan, Spain, Switzerland and Costa Rica.

I take pride in my own academic education and strive to inspire others feel the same. I am a strong believer in the power of education, and understand that we can all use a little extra help to achieve our goals. I feel my experience working in varied environments has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills and allows me to be able to relate to students of all ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. As someone who also receives tutoring, I completely understand how difficult and frustrating learning can be at times. I believe this perspective allows me to really be able to engage with my students. Lastly, my ability to motivate and inspire others is a very significant contribution that I am confident I can bring to the course and into the classroom.

As a graduate of Davenport University with a Bachelor in IT Project Management, I have a strong foundation in both technology and education. I have experience tutoring subjects like Excel and preparing students for EMT and NREMT exams, as well as guiding learners through UK A Level Computer Science. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring concepts. I am passionate about tutoring because I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I enjoy helping them build confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new technologies and staying current with industry trends, which I incorporate into my teaching to enrich the learning experience.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Management from Davenport University, I bring a unique blend of organizational skills and heartfelt dedication to tutoring. With over 2 years of experience in guiding students in Elementary and Middle School Math and Reading, I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student's individual needs. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering confidence and curiosity, whether it's helping a child master pre-algebra concepts or develop reading comprehension skills. I am deeply motivated by the opportunity to inspire a lifelong love of learning in my students, making each session not just a lesson, but an enjoyable exploration of knowledge.

I feel the the academic experiences that I have been through as a student for so many years have given me such great insight as a student. All the years of education and of having been a student always gave me an opportunity to learn from my professors. Now that I am on the other side, I have a sense of empathy, respect, and also feel humbled by my experiences and certainly very able to communicate in a professional manner with my students. I have and hold my students to high expectations and will go above and beyond to help them understand the material and my objective is to make them feel empowered and aware that they are capable of performing satisfactory and independently.For myself, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with students of all ages. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such a person and will always strive to be the best educator that I can be.

I earned my Bachelors Degree from Florida International University, and I am currently working on my Masters Degree at Davenport University. I feel that my experiences of temporary teaching and tutoring have been both personally satisfying and beneficial to the children I worked with. I have enjoyed three periods of teaching.My first opportunity to teach was provided by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which was one of the necessary ways to get the best experience by teaching language arts, writing, reading comprehension, mathematics, science, geography, social studies or history. Moreover, I was able to work with various levels and a diversity of students. I enjoyed working with students from pre-K to fifth grades there and was interested in the teachers technique of teaching young children.I had the opportunity at my second position at One on One Learning, to instruct my own group of pupils based on their weak subjects in the comfort of their homes. I was allowed to devise my own teaching methods and I received great satisfaction when the children showed understanding and progress.My third experience was provided by Sylvan Learning Center when I worked as a tutor by focusing on standard core subjects such as mathematics and reading. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach older children as the lessons were more tightly structured so that a better understanding could be attained.I am now certain that it is the education of the elementary age group that I would like to specialize in as at this level I would be able to teach mathematics to the depth at which it becomes the most interesting and enlightening. I would hope to give my students a good foundation since I feel that nearly every profession uses some form of mathematics.

I have been involved with teaching students for 12 years, prior to that I was teaching Air Force personnel how to perform their duties to protect our country. Although both are quite different in content they are the same. I feel hard work, understanding and not giving up are keys to working with students, young and old alike. I always tell my students to not guess, think the problem thru, ask questions and always check your work. In math the answers are either right or wrong, so work hard and check your work.

As a graduate of Davenport University with a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Information Management, I have cultivated a deep passion for education, particularly in the realm of mathematics. With over 20 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, and Math for various grade levels, including middle school and college. My approach centers on creating a patient and supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and engage with the material. I thrive on those enlightening moments when a student transitions from confusion to clarity, and I believe in guiding them to discover solutions independently rather than simply providing answers. I have also enjoyed teaching English online to students in China, further broadening my educational experience. I look forward to the opportunity to inspire and empower students in their learning journeys!

With over eight years of experience teaching Medical Assisting students, I have developed a deep passion for helping future healthcare professionals build the knowledge, confidence, and critical thinking skills they need to succeed. Throughout my career, I have taught a wide range of courses, including Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Medical Terminology, Pharmacology, and Medication Math, as well as comprehensive exam preparation for national certification exams. My approach to tutoring emphasizes understanding core concepts rather than memorization. I strive to connect classroom learning to real-world clinical applications, helping students grasp not only the "what," but the "why" behind medical practices and procedures. I take pride in creating an encouraging, engaging, and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and are motivated to reach their full potential. Having guided hundreds of students through challenging coursework and exam preparation, I understand that every learner's journey is unique.
