More About This Tutor...

I have a Master's of Education degree with endorsements in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education, and have been teaching grades K-8 for seven years. Additionally, I have tutored and managed a Title I tutoring for my school district. I pride myself in working with my students, channeling their strengths, and helping them to use their strong suits in order to achieve success academically and socially.
I would describe my teaching style as very thorough. I find that students are able to succeed when the curriculum, especially one with which a student is experiencing difficulty, is taught in a way that reflects their learning style and interests.

I carry diplomas (and who really cares?) from Northern Illinois University in both Political Philosophy and English Literature, yada-yada-yada, and so on and so forth, etcetera, etcetera (graduated 2006). I have written two full-length novels that your children, most likely, will someday be required to read by some god-forsaken English teacher who does not believe in 'fun'. I could, of course, sit here, all day, listing all the reasons why you, or your child, should choose 'me' to guide them through life, and if not through life, then, at the very least, through whichever course they will most likely fail otherwise. Furthermore, and in spite of the fact that I do not understand this most bothersome phenomenon, children instinctively enjoy my company, which is ironic, because I try my hardest to keep them away from my physical person at all times. I know, also, that 'applicants', or whate ... read more

I have experience as an online journalist, essay writer, local news reporter, certified elementary school teacher and music teacher. I have published many interviews, book and music reviews and worked with children and young adults. I have also taught ESL for many years and designed curriculum guides for many student levels.
Relating well to the student is the key to communication. A tutoring session should be a positive experience and a strategy for developing skills should be discussed early on to insure clarity.

When I am teaching I am very patient and try to organize the lesson or my assistance in steps. I'll have the child read the problem or question, ask what they know about it, see if they understand the question and proceed. The patient style helps me see what the student's strengths and weaknesses are so I know what they need to practice and focus on. If the child has multiple assignments or tasks I have them perform the more difficult ones first. Starting with the easy assignments may seem like it makes sense but I would prefer that the student have more energy for the tasks they'll have more difficulty with.
During my high school years I would volunteer to help children through various charities and church. When I attended college I became an Early Childhood Education major and volunteered in preschool and elementary schools. During my Student Teaching in Des Plaines I was in ... read more

I began tutoring lower level Spanish students in high school for several years. Later in college, I volunteered for the America Reads Challenge Program and helped elementary-aged students improve their reading skills. Not long after graduating college, I moved to Costa Rica where I taught English for six months to learners between the ages of six and sixty years old. In addition to my tutoring and teaching experience, I have also gained exceptional interpersonal skills, along with advanced reading and writing capabilities.
When I traveled to Costa Rica the first time to earn my TEFL certification, I knew that teaching was my vocation. I love teaching, and I have learned from teaching students of all ages how to apply my skills to meet the needs of my students. The most important thing I've learned is that you have to find ways to entertain your students while teaching them at ... read more

I was taught in my Sweetland Writing Center courses to teach with a non-directive approach, and allow students to do most of the talking and thinking throughout the tutoring session. This is primarily accomplished through the use of leading and probing questions, functioning to spark the student's thinking. I also frequently explain technical issues of grammar, and other higher order concerns within papers; they need to be able to understand the problem before they can tackle the solution. Furthermore, I was specially trained at University of Michigan to help ESL students. I aim to make the student a better writer and thinker, rather than aiming to fix each paper before me.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, and will receive my diploma on August of 2010. I managed to accomplish four years of intensive school work in three years, which is a testament to my work-et ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My classrooms involve learning-centered groups in a workshop approach. I find that students are encouraged by the examples of other writers and learners at their own levels. I provide a great deal of individual feedback on assignments. I encourage the imitation of examples in writing and the discovery of other writing styles. I am sensitive to the needs and learning needs of each student.
I have always been a reader and a writer. In my degree work, I learned how to inspire others to read critically and write well. I have many years experience as a college-level instructor. I also work locally with high school students at my church. In addition, I have worked at Writing Centers at several institutions. I also have helped with successful grant writing for several local organizations.
