I like to cater each session to the individual's specific learning style- what works for one person may not work for the next! However, I have found the cornerstone of excelling at reading is repetition and the key to understanding the rules of grammar is application. I also feel it's so important to incorporate FUN into each session to keep spirits high and learning at a maximum!
I have always had a strong love of English! I enjoyed assisting fellow college students with proofreading and technical writing skills before working as an Advertising Proofreader at the Echo Press in Alexandria, MN. Following that, I completed an internship at the Minneapolis-based magazine Today's Style (no longer in circulation) as a writer.

As all students are individuals, the goal of the personal tutor is to detect what type of learning experience allows the individual student to best fulfill their potential. When the correct learning approach is found, the tutor can fully benefit the student. All students will respond positively when they are treated with dignity and know that the tutor believes in their abilities. Teaching with patience and consideration of the individual student’s needs will foster the understanding of the subject matter. I believe in a structured, paced approach to learning that focuses on the triumphs and not the mistakes.

I greatly love teaching and anything that enables a child to feel proud about themselves in a positive manner. I believe that there is not one teaching style available to all students. I feel that to truly become an effective teaching, one must get to know each student individually to find out their likes and dislikes. I am an extremely patient person with a huge heart and love for children. I will do everything in my power to enable each child to succeed. I believe that children need to have fun at times in order to learn. I strive to give each child their own tool that is tailored to him/her in order to succeed.
As a graduate with a Bachelors Degree in Education, I have a great diverse experience with children and families. I have volunteered my education experience and worked at many places including preschools, kindergarten centers, elementary schools, middle schools, hi ... read more
