As a Hiram College student I feel I have gained a great deal of knowledge through a combination of learning from excellent instructors and having a variety of teaching experiences.

As a mother of three teenagers with distinctly different personalities and learning styles, I approach teaching in customized ways that help them open up rather than close down when faced with academic obstacles. I have refined that approach when working with other students, as well. I believe a positive attitude is contagious, so I initiate conversations which enable the student to express whatever knowledge they already have in a given subject. Then we build upon that base of understanding, filling in gaps with new knowledge, eventually reaching higher levels of comprehension and mastery of the subject. Along the way, the student gains stronger self-confidence; a vital ingredient in higher achievement. As a freelance writer and public relations specialist, I write for Air Shows magazine, The Villager newspaper, and online magazine Suite 101. My writing also appears in Front Row

Communicating with others is such an essential part of the real world, and so many people do not understand how to use this skill correctly. I strive to teach others how to read better, write stronger, and gather their ideas to make convincing arguments. I believe that with the right knowledge, students can become better writers. I also think that my experience as a student, a tutor and a writer will make a difference to kids who haven't had the same opportunities. Coming from a Hungarian background, I have always been in tune to language and I have been influenced in many ways by my mother, a native of Hungary, and teachers throughout the years. I have had access to the best reading and writing education, leading me to feel a strong connection to the mechanics of speech and teaching others those principles. I hold a bachelor's degree in English from Ohio University, and I volunteered a

My son, as I stated earlier can be rebellious, so I have to be very patient with him and always stay positive. I constantly tell him how smart he is, how well he is doing, and I always point out his accomplishments and tell him where more work is needed. This style to me is important when working with any child, positive reinforcement and contant encouragement is needed. I have a son who was born with neurofibromatosis is accompanied by a learning disability. My son is now 18 and in his last year of High School. He has been in special education courses since 2nd grade once being diagnosed with his learning challenges. He has had an active IEP since that time and I have worked very closedly with him throughout his school years. I have worked with him on every subject, every project, and encouraged him along the way. Due to his learning and physical disabilities, he has very low sel

I believe that every child has the ability to be academically great given the right amount of individual time and guidance. An individual's potential has no limits and is always attainable if hard work is present. I believe in firm, but positive reinforcement as children learn the skills they need to prosper in school. One of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced is knowing that I have helped changed a child's life as she found her school work becoming easier and more enjoyable. I love having the ability to teach and mentor and create a turning point in the lives of children. In May of 2009, I graduate from Kent State University with a BA in English and The Writing Minor certification. As a college student, I took many courses highlighting grammar structure and the writing styles of APA and MLA. As a student, I held part time jobs as a nanny for three children and a high s

Having taught mostly college freshmen who took my class just to fulfill a requirement, I am empathetic to the fact that all students have a subject that they do not enjoy. Therefore, I try to be as encouraging and patient as possible, making it clear that I am supportive and willing to help. When working individually with students, I always make a point of drawing attention to what they are doing correctly or even very well before moving into points of constructive criticism. I've had many students tell me in the past that they were never able to do well in English classes, but now have an appreciation for how each of them can use language to achieve goals. I am a writer of both fiction and nonfiction and have pursued my passion for English by spending the last eight years in higher education. I hold a B.A. in professional writing and creative writing, as well as an M.F.A. in creativ

I am patient, thorough, and respectful of all my students. I make a concerted effort to tailor my teaching style to the needs, interests, and strenghts of each student. I truly believe that each student has the ability to discover, learn, and build upon the skills they already possess through guided tutoring. I also believe that each student deserves constructive criticism and rewards for efforts and goals achieved. It is my personal goal to ensure that each of my students, as they travel through their academic and professional careers, remembers the goals and skills they have developed with my assistance, and how those skills have helped them throughout their academic and personal development. As a recipient of an MA degree in English from KSU, I intend to return to school in the fall to persue a MS degree as a K-12 Intervention Specialist to help high risk students in public schools. A

I like working with young people to challenge them to accomplish something they did not think was possible. I prefer to ask them questions and see what they can come up with. From there, I use my experiences and expertise to guide them through the learning process. I believe that all people have profound capabilities and potential if they just have the proper guidance and motivation. As a graduate student, I worked as an Academic Adviser for student-athletes at The University of Akron. I have worked tutoring at-risk students in a cooperative environment. My duties included supervising and leading study sessions, helping students plan and organize time effectively, as well as implementing study and test taking strategies.
