Experienced and successful teacher in English language arts.

I have five years of teaching experience, including teaching kindergarten students, students who were English language learners, and fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students. My focus has been in reading and language arts, and I have attended several Uncommon Schools trainings for close reading techniques and writing and vocabulary strategies. My previous background and work experience was in writing, and I enjoy teaching students about the different forms of writing, including creative writing, literary analysis, argumentative, and informative. Since I started my teaching career working with students in kindergarten, I deeply understand the foundations of literacy. My experiences with students in middle school has also helped me understand and realize the connection between a strong foundation in English language arts and how it develops in middle school.
I am focused on achieving ... read more

Journalism is one of my top subjects!

I have years of experience in helping people learn how to write better through my editing and coaching skills in a variety of settings. As a current doctoral student, my study and time management skills are excellent and I can show you or your son or daughter how to study more effectively. As a psychologist in training, I am particularly adept at addressing the psycho-emotional issues that often accompany learning struggles. I have experience coaching students on resumes, admissions essays and recommendation letter solicitations based on my own experience with top-tier educational institutions such as Harvard and Vanderbilt. I work well with people from a variety of backgrounds and have particular experience working with low-income populations.

My comments on tutoring Journalism : Former public radio news director; member of the Society of Professional Journalists

For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.
Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with students on their writing. My background in pastoral counseling means I am particularly trained to be an empathetic listener who can pretty quickly analyze fears and anxieties which may be affecting school work.
I believe strongly in all students developing their writing skills as part of what it takes to suceed in school, work, and life. My students at Vanderbilt Divinity School where I am a Teaching Fellow and PhD student in Religion, Psychology, and Culture, write in evaluations that I give the most attention and valuable feedback on their writing in terms of composition, the technical aspects of writing, and organization that they have received at the school. I have been writing and editing professionally since I was in high school when I wrote for The Oregonian, Oregon's major newspaper, and was asked to review high school capstone projects at the school di ... read more

Whatever works best for you.
I am a senior in college working on a Journalism major. I love reading and writing and college has taught me how to craft these skills. I have worked at many summer camps before and I am very patient. In High School I took honors and AP English classes. I love the subjects and hope I can pass on this love to others.

I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning isn’t work; but part of growing up – and selecting a career – is learning that work can be enjoyable. I should mention that it is not my way to enforce memorization for the sake of it. If you understand concepts, that is much better. I always say “an example is the embodiment of a rule”. I am always committed to a student’s success; and will not let him or her give up. The biggest thrill in teaching is watching a student suddenly understand a concept. It happens frequently, and it never gets old.
For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was always a dedicated student, and I graduated from Ouachita Baptist University with a BA in English and a GPA of 3.97. I was also a writing consultant at the university’s writing lab for two years. I worked with students on all aspects of writing a paper, whether it was finding the main idea, building an argument, or using proper grammar, style, and formatting. My goal was to provide an objective eye, analytic perspective, and friendly assistance to those writing research, response, or creative papers. I’ve also been passionate about English literature throughout my life, and continual reading and studying has made me knowledgeable on a number of literary topics.
My teaching style is conversational and focused on helping students understand what they are working on. I want to encourage them to find the answers, but I won’t put them on the spot. I ask questions and instruct in a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I obtained a B.A. in 2004 from Lee University in Telecommunication. I feel I have substantial experience in teaching and specifically writing composition to be a great tutor. My college experience includes receiving an outstanding English student award, teaching in an extra-curricular club, and tutoring fellow students. Since 2006 I have been seasonally employed as a reader for a screenplay contest where I read, evaluate, and provide constructive feedback to aspiring writers. In general, I am confident that I am a great writer. My business emails draw much praise from my managers. I would love the opportunity to teach others how to use their words in a persuasive, realistic, and praise-worthy way.
I believe anyone can write and everyone has a story to tell. I feel one of the greatest assets I would bring a tutoring relationship is ability to help an individual see their str ... read more

I have the ability to break down the complex into simple, manageable lessons. Every child and teen deserves to be taught in the manner that works the best for him/her. I strive to unlock the doors that keep students from learning a concept by asking questions and watching intently.
As a graduate of St. Olaf College in MN, I have used my BA in Secondary English Education in the business arena and to teach grammar, literature, advance and remedial writing classes, drama, and reading skills in the classroom. I have worked as a professional writer and editor, editing professional manuscripts, creating marketing materials, writing articles, and producing book reviews online. I held a valid teaching license in MN from 1983-1997, which I did not renew when I started my own business promoting women entrepreneurs online.
