More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is very interactive. I like to begin a tutoring session by helping the student set a goal for the session. We then begin work on the material. During the session I encourage the student's learning by asking open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking. With writing assignments, the pen is always in the student's hand and, with guidance, the student makes choices about his or her writing. I use a method I call guided discovery, which encourages students to think in depth about their subject, discovering new methods and information with guidance from me.
In addition to having a Master of Arts in English Literature, I have extensive experience teaching English at the college level. I have spent the last three years as the Writing Corner Director at a Kansas community college, administering all of the writing tutoring for the college. This has provided me with ... read more

Teaching with Passion!

I believe that every individual has gifts, talents, and learning styles unique to them, so I challenge and motivate my students to meet their highest potential as independent thinkers. I have found this to be the most effective method for students in learning the subject best, being engaged in sessions, and gaining the confidence to solve tough problems and tackle challenging assignments on their own. My Psychology background has been beneficial when proactively working with a variety of students for different subject areas. Generally, students take in and process information in different ways, that is why I strive to really get to know every students unique learning style and passions, and tailor my approach to meet their learning needs and goals. My passion and value for education is evident in my teaching style and in my work as a tutor. Passions often go unnoticed in the classroom, s ... read more

Award-winning writer and editor ready to tutor you!

My experience as a newspaper editor helped me to develop a collaborative teaching style. I want to work with students to understand their questions and help them work through them and arrive at the conclusions on their own. I have a non-intimidating teaching style and want my students to walk away from the sessions not only understanding the answers to their questions, but also be able to apply that knowledge in future situations.
Three years of experience in writing and editing as a staff member at the Grand Valley Lanthorn, a student-run newspaper at GVSU. I began as an intern and held various writing and editing jobs throughout my tenure, ultimately departing as editor in chief. My writing has been recognized on the national and statewide level by the American Collegiate Press and the Michigan Press Association. I recently graduated with a B.A. in journalism.

Easy-going and very easy to relate to/understand

Employed at Oakland Community College 2010-2011. I have been a tutor at OCC since 2010, but have had a lot of private experience prior. My methods are very effective, yet unconventional. This serves both you and me very well because I like what I do and you get the knowledge you're seeking. I can always understand a student's individual needs because I have been around such a large variety of learning styles. Also, I believe that a "set" lesson plan is worthless for English because who's to say that everyone with a specific problem is not understanding it for the same reason? One person may not understand the use of paragraph formation for a completely different reason than the next.
Casual, but very effective.

For longer-term tutoring, I like to take an inventory of a student's goals, as well as a look into their curriculum. In either case, the goal is always going to be to help a student best reach his or her potential with solid, memorable insights into writing.

Read More About Marilyn F...

My professional career has centered on writing, first as a reporter/editor and then in corporate public affairs, internal communications and marketing communications. Even as a writer, I was drawn to teaching others how to communicate effectively and conducted internal workshops and one-on-one tutoring for less experienced writers. On a more formal basis, I taught business writing part-time at two universities. I also have been employed as a reader for a company that grades state assessment tests, most recently fourth grade reading on the MEAP -- Michigan Education Assessment Program.
To me, there is nothing more gratifying than achieving the "aha" moment when a child or adult understands a concept and can put it into practice. Because there is no single path to arriving at that moment, I believe it is necessary to understand how a student best learns and then tailor my tutoring to ... read more
