A Little Bit About Me...

As an editor, writer and avid reader for my entire life, I have reading comprehension and editing skills that would be valuable in helping others. I have 15 years of experience as a journalist, editor, freelance writer and higher education development writer. In my postion with Hearst Business Media, I spent a little over a year working with Hofstra University interns in our Long Island, New York office, mentoring them in reporting, editiing and writing. I am also a parent who has long been active in the education system as an advocate for my children.
My approach to teaching others is a holistic one. I believe each students learns at his or her own pace, based on individual interest levels. As the parent of Montessori students for many years, I believe each student must be motivated and given opportunities to develop his or her interests from direction provided by a mentor or ... read more

I love mentoring and teaching to not only children but adults. Everyone has the ability to learn. As a teacher you have to discern the different learning styles from the students and encourage them to apply their individual learning styles to the tasks at hand. I am patient, understanding,and enthusiastic in teaching style. I set obtainable goals for the students and help them execute them. My past experience has enabled me to see that everyone can learn if given the right opportunity. I strive to ensure that all students will succeed.
I am enrolled in the masters program at western kentucky university. Looking to pursue my masters in Arts Adult Education I currently substitute teach for the City of Bowling Green, KY I have been a columist for an interenet magazine I also have experience in being an editor for a company newsletter

I love kids, and I love helping them learn and succeed. I have always believed that children learn best when learning is fun and interesting. I try to incorporate new and interesting methods of teaching into my lessons, including manipulatives and "hands-on" learning, and using "real world" examples that kids can relate to. I have learned from my experience that once you form a relationship with a student and learn their personality and interests, you can learn the best methods helping that student reach his/her full potential. I also believe that confidence is key when teaching. When students do well, they should be told. I believe that sometimes praise and confidence are all a child need to succeed.
I completed all of my field work in school 2006-2008 and completed my student teaching in 2009. During this time, I planned and taught lessons in all subjects to grades Kindergarten t ... read more

I believe that students best learn from doing. My role as a tutor is not just to provide answers, but to facilitate and encourage learning. However I am also able to provide a knowledge base in a number of subjects to help answer questions the student may be struggling with. I am comfortable working with children of all ages to help them meet their full learning potential as students.
As a graduate of a small liberal arts college, I have spent many hours volunteering to help tutor my classmates in both biology and the humanities. I hold a bachelor's degree in biology. I have learned extensive grammatical skills through my school's intensive general studies program. I am confident in my ability to tutor students in mathematics, science, English and the humanities at the K-12 level and biology and English at the college level.

More About This Tutor...

My easy going nature and fun personality allows me to make learning interesting. I have always believed that the best way for someone to learn is to put the information into terms that are understandable to them. In the past I have used illustrations, acted out scenes from battles, utilized initialisms, and made up songs to help students learn concepts. Connections between the content and familiar concepts are essential, and thus I find it very important to get to know the student and how they learn in order to best help them. My goal is to make sure that all my students are able to reach their educational goals, and ultimately by the end of our sessions my students will be able to teach the information to someone else.
Life is the greatest teacher. Throughout my life I have been presented with numerous opportunities to expand upon my natural abilities. At a young age I was bilingu ... read more
