Highly Experienced College Instructor

Alisa A.

As a former college English instructor, I have a great deal of experience and insight into various teaching methods for all different learners. Additionally, I have worked in the nationally recognized Bloomfield Hills High School, which is at the forefront of integrated learning techniques and a model for secondary schools across the country. My position within the Department of Special Education allowed me to worked directly with students with learning and physical disabilities ranging from Asperger's Syndrome to Attention Deficit Disorder.

I first began tutoring while in college over 25 years ago. Since then, I have worked with all age groups--elementary age to professionals-- in group and private sessions, with students who have both developmental and learning disabilities, foreign-speaking students, students preparing for exams and anyone looking for additional support or enrichment in both curricular and extra-curricular pursuits.

I am very patient and caring and personalize the tutoring sessions for each student. I find the best results occur when there is a feeling of trust and compatibility between myself and the learner, and I strive to make every session worthwhile, engaging and instructive. I am known for my calm and caring demeanor and always choose a positive and nurturing form of instruction. I promote a learning environment where questions are welcomed and encouraged, and the student can feel completely at ease. Most importantly, tutoring is my passion; and I put all my energy and focus into what I love to do.
