Writing is one of my top subjects! I tutored students in the basic structure of sentences, paragraphs and essays. I have letters of recommendation and certifications as a highly qualified writing instructor. I have created a formula for passing the writing section of end-of-grade tests that incorporates topic sentences, transitions, and conclusions. This formula includes tricks for avoiding misspellings.
My classrooms were traditional with twenty to thirty students with a variety of learning and maturity levels. When I tutored students who needed additional help with the end-of-year writing tests, I worked with small groups of four to six, or one-on-one as indicated.
I have a Bachelors Degree from the Univerity of Minnesota where I obtained my secondary teaching license. I taught ninth grade English for eight years in Morris, Minnesota and focused heavily on writing, grammar, speech and the Renaissance. When we moved to Raleigh, I taught 7th grade Language Arts at Fred J. Carnage Middle School for two years.
