Masters Degree in English and American Literature from the University of California, San Diego. MA thesis concentrated on themes found in Victorian novels. While an undergrad, I studied at Oxford University in England where I focused on Medieval and Renaissance texts. Years later, I was able to do post graduate coursework in 17C literature and the Romantics at Harvard University Extentsion. Extremely well read in a broad range of literature but primarily focused on Western Literatures. Extensive hands-on classroom instuction with first year college students, would be suitable for junior and senior high school instruction as well. I am very comfortable working with both indivduals and groups of students. I want to know what my students are thinking and feeling, so I very much prefer a seminar style of instuction. Depending on the subject - be it composition or literature - I break up the

Sherry H. - Louisville, KY 40220 (7.9 mi) - Middle School Literature Tutor - $27.50/hr.
My teaching style is to make sure my teaching is inclusive so that every child can actively participate in the learning experience. Differentiation is an important method I use to help those students who struggle in certain areas. I have been teaching now for a total of four years. However, I have been working in the educational field for eight years. Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked as a library clerk. Also, I have experience as a tutor. I tutored for two years in an after-school program at a local church in my community. Currently, I am a special education teacher at Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North in Louisville, Kentucky. I mainly teach sixth grade language arts classes.
My skills and knowledge of how to effectively educate students have continued to improve over the years. The summative evaluations I have received each year as a teacher have been positive. Administrators

Kevin S. - Louisville, KY 40220 (7.9 mi) - Middle School Literature Tutor - $32.50/hr.
While I have made a living as a technical writer in the software industry for sixteen years, part of making a life has been through my creative writing. I have written eighteen screenplays, three adult fiction manuscripts, three nonfiction manuscripts, two YA manuscripts, and now I hope to have found my niche as a middle grade novelist. I am repped by Joy Tutela of the David Black Agency who is trying to sell my first MG as I finish working on my second. Pick out what's good and encourage that. It is too easy to focus on the negative. As a writer who understands rejection very well, it has humbled me. Another set of eyes always helps during the editing process. Sometimes a writer just needs to be set on the correct path, and they can do much of the rest from there. Being a parent has also taught me patience, which is something any teacher needs. Also, reading helps you become a better wr

Mark C. - Prospect, KY 40059 (9.7 mi) - Middle School Literature Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have a B.A. in English with an emphasis in literature. Patient. Encouraging. Funny. I believe learning should be a joy, not a chore. With a degree in English and 20 years in journalism, I have a thorough understanding of the principles required to read and write at a high level. I can teach a student how to write clearly, concisely and, if he/she has the desire, even compellingly. I can also help a student better comprehend what he/she reads and, moreover, appreciate and enjoy it.

visual I have a lot of experience teaching children in many areas of study and extra curricular activities such as; swimming, art, English, spelling and reading.

I volunteered in Big Brothers Big Sisters where I tutored my little Brother one on one in reading and spelling. Many years experience in art and art lessons. Finally, I also volunteered in my university's Girls in Science day, a day once a year devoted to helping girls become interested in math and science.

Leslie C. - Louisville, KY 40205 (10.5 mi) - Middle School Literature Tutor - $57.50/hr.
While I am still a university student, I have spent many countless hours studying German. I have studied it in an American classroom and a German classroom. I lived in Germany for 15 months, studying and living the language. I really love the German language and culture, and I'm really interested in helping others to love it as much as I do! Hopefully, my passion for it will transmit onto others who are interested in Germany as well.

Kaitlin D. - Louisville, KY 40213 (12.6 mi) - Middle School Literature Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I'm very familiar and experienced with British Literature, not so much American Lit. I do know some American Literature authors. I started tutoring in 2009 through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana. I tutor my "Little" for an hour once a week. I help with whatever subject they need. My specialty is Language Arts, but if you need help with basic math, I can do that too. I have observed many elementary, middle school, and high school classes. I know what works best, especially since I'm going to become a high school language arts teacher in a few years. I'm patient. I'll try and make my lessons easy to understand. I know how frustrating language arts can be, but I also know how rewarding it can be as well. I can relate very easily to high school students, because I just graduated from high school 5 years ago.

Mishael A - Louisville, KY 40223 (5 mi) - Middle School Literature Tutor - $48.50/hr.
Very simply, I believe that an instructor should be a facilitator of the learning process, not a dictator. The best learning is that which is done by the student him/herself through experiencing and seeing things firsthand. I strive to get to know my students and make my tutoring sessions unique and tailored to fit each individual student's needs. I have a masters degree in psychology, specializing in child development. During my undergraduate studies, I minored in music and English. In recent years, I have taught music and English to both children and adults. I also have a great deal in knowledge in other subject areas, like history, religion, and even a little Spanish.
