Licensed Substitute Teacher with flexible schedule

Teaching style is based on the student and their learning style.

My comments on tutoring Composition : University of Toledo and Herzing University

One on one very individualized style tailored to the student/participant. 50% textual material, 50% hands on project completion that will help build a "working portfolio" for the student. Critical thinking and creative problem solving is crucial.

"Inspiring students to achieve academic excellence."

My teaching style completely depends on the student themselves. I believe that each child or student has their own way of learning and it is my job to use my skills as a teacher to find out the most effective way to help them succeed. I strive to help students truly understand content and learn effective fundamental strategies and study techniques that can help them be successful when applied to any subject.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I work in a school now and I can help show you how to sign the words for this subject.

I have been a professional Interpreter for over 12 years and will continue to do so until I am not needed anymore. I have worked in numerous places as an Interpreter such as Hospitals, court houses, Dr. offices, schools, and etc. I develop a relationship with all my clients that keep them requesting me. I take time to care about what's going on and stay focused and intrigued with everything that's going on.
I can break it down so that it will be as easy for anyone to understand. I also sometimes like to try and connect the sign with the meaning so that it is easy for any person to remember.

Education Should Be An Experience!

I pride myself on being innovative and tailoring teaching to the needs and interests of my students. An ability to relate the material to one's life and take ownership over your learning is the core of my teaching philosophy; therefore, I teach in a manner that best enable my student(s) to maximize this goal. Learning should be an experience, and I strive to develop activities and approaches to make this experience a pleasant and engaging one. My classes are fun. The activities are not wastes of time, and the end result is measurable growth in the subject area. My best quality is my ability to adapt and think on the fly. This means that I can address concerns and issues as they manifest; also, it means that I am not locked into one way of doing something. This means that on a given day, I can adjust the manner and method of instruction to suit the needs and interest of my stud ... read more

Composition is one of my top subjects! I have taught undergraduate courses in academic writing and composition, with a focus on argumentative and business writing. I am able to tutor students in a variety of proficiencies and style guides, and focus first on the basic understanding of essay, paragraph, and sentence structure. In addition, I am experienced in tutoring students in regards to the essay audience, thesis, topic sentences, citation standards, and more.

I have a bachelor's degree from Coe College in Art History and Writing, which included both creative and technical writing courses for completion. As of 2013, I have a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University. In addition to my academic achievements, I have worked at Bowling Green State University as an instructor of composition and creative writing.

I am a graduate of Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in English. In addition to studying English I also studied fine arts (painting, drawing, art history) and Spanish. I have tutored students from ages 5-18 in all subjects including English (reading and grammar), math, social studies, and science. My reading and grammar skills are helpful in all subjects because I am able to take apart sentences and paragraphs so that it is easier for students to understand. With my English background I am very helpful with reading assignments and book reports. I can help students with writing and editing papers as well as recognizing plot, themes, and motifs in stories, novels, and poems.
I love teaching students of all ages and I recognize that most students do not get the help they need during the school day, which is why it is important for them to get the help they need outside of clas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring/teaching experience has been primarily with high school and college students. As an Advanced Placement English student in high school, I volunteered time at the school’s writing center; as an English tutor in college, I also helped students with parts of speech, sentence and paragraph structure, and grammar. I love being able to share my passion for and knowledge of writing. For the past three years, I have been the organizer and facilitator of a community writers’ workshop. I think writing is one of the most powerful—and important—forms of communication. From composing poetry to writing a technical manual, the goal is the same—to express an idea or thought.
Curiosity is an important aspect of both teaching and learning. Curiosity tends to accompany a willingness to learn. It also brings up questions, such as “Why?” or “How?” or “What does this mean for me?” As ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a very enthusiastic teacher. I love my subjects and want, above all, to instill in my students a love of learning. I believe that all children can be enthusiastic about learning if a patient teacher or tutor is willing to work with them at their own pace and can find a "common ground" with the child's interests. My goal is to give students an environment where they can excel at their own pace, regardless of whether they are a fast-track learner who needs constant challenge or a struggling student who needs a patient, persistent mentor. I firmly believe in the power of individualized learning support to help a student reach their academic potential.

More About This Tutor...

I love helping people learn, especially kids. My mother is a teacher, and emphasized the importance of an education throughout my childhood. I have grown up with the benefits of a healthy learning environment, and I think every child deserves the same. I am friendly, patient, and relate well to children. I have a younger sister in high school and many of her friends' parents have come to me for help with their child's education. I have provided the positive, role model-like relationships that have enabled me to establish a rapport with them over time. I believe that for students to succeed in school, they must have a desire to learn as well as a support system that values education. If both of those things exist, success is inevitable.
I value education to the highest degree. I graduated in May earning a BA in Business Administration with dual concentrations in Sports Management a ... read more

My teaching style is participatory. I like to ask questions of the student and have them verbalize what they know. This gives me the opportunity to identify possible gaps in their knowledge and to fill in those gaps. I also try to relate covered material to historical events. For instance, when talking about the importance of analytical chemistry, I like to talk about the Marsh test which was developed in the 1830’s as a definitive reaction for arsenic poisoning. In like manner, I like to relate covered material to the personal experiences of the student. Illustrative examples that I have used are the importance of distillation to the alcoholic beverage and petroleum industries, along with how companies like McDonald’s would employ chemists skilled in flavors and fragrances (i.e., flavorists). All in all, I try to make science and mathematics fun and stimulating, as well as informati ... read more

While I was in college, I worked for my finacial aide as a tutor in all areas other than Math. Once I earned my degree I went right into teaching. After a year, I was hired as a college basketball coach. During this time I continued to tutor our student athletes in thier English work. I also taught the Physical Education classes for Majors. After having my son, I have rejoined the teaching field. I have been teaching 5th-8th grade Language Arts classes. I also teach reading. I feel I have a good handle on how to break down information for a more individualized learning environment.
I have grown up knowing that teaching is a fundamental need for our lives. Both my parents are teachers, and I have always been good at explaining things to others. As I pursued my career choices one of the most important goals for me has been to give others the opportunities at learning that I ... read more
