I have worked in the automotive and mortgage industries. My teaching style is very holistic. I want to empower students to discover and employ their voices. I want to develop critical thinking skills, analysis, synthesis, and retention, basically, I want to help people *THINK* about what they are saying, what they are doing, to interpret the world around them. In the end, it is the student's choice whether or not they modify their papers. I believe in having a one on one discussion. I am resourceful. I don't know all the answers but I have a myriad of ways to find them.

The collaborative learning approach, where students are encouraged to discuss what and how they're learning, is most effective. Students tend to engage much better with course material when the instructor has discussions with them, as opposed to lecturing at them. Since being awarded a master's degree in 2008, I've taught English composition, literature, and reading comprehension courses at Wayne State University, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College, and Jackson Community College. I am currently a professor of English at Wayne County Community College.

I've taught reading, writing and composition at the collegiate level. I'm currently a PhD candidate in Educational Studies at Eastern Michigan University. As a graduate assistant with the GEAR UP program at Eastern, I tutored eighth grade students in various subject areas, with English and writing being my specialty. I believe in using my experience and expertise as a writer to help students maximize their potential. As a writing and composition instructor at Eastern Michigan University, I worked with a diverse population of students, who were from all different educational backgrounds, and my priority was to ensure that each student excelled and improved their writing. Given my educational and teaching background, tutoring is second nature to me. If you're interested in inquiring about or receiving my services please contact me via email at kbarnes@emich.edu.

I am a certified English and French teacher with 18 years of experience. My teaching style...? I do not have only one; part of the point of tutoring is the ability to truly tailor styles/strategies to individuals or small groups. I must say that I am the funniest person I know, and I crack myself up all the time. Humor is always one of my favorite/best strategies.

I have been a tutor for 23 years and I have taught Adult Basic Education for 12 years. I am still continuing my education to receive a Masters degree and plan to get my PhD. I work for a community college and have done advising, enrollment, testing, phone directory, and student sevices. I have attended many professional development workshops on education. Critical thinking skills and untraditional ways are what I focus on. However the way someone learns, I will try to set the individual up to show how they learn and work with them. I will implement practices and materials I think will fit the student's profile. I feel a teacher wears many hats and you must be prepared to wear a different one any day.
