A Little Bit About Me...

Tutored students as a part of an after school program with inner-city, Washington High School. Assisted the struggling students with brainstorming paper topics, clearly communicating ideas, general textbook use, critical thinking, future goal making. I also made a point to get to the students as people not projects. Throughout college I regularly worked with Spanish speaking students to develop clear papers on a variety of subjects. I also helped them edit for proper grammar and sentence structure.

Looking to get your student to catch up during the summer?

My teaching style can adapt to whatever my student needs very easily. The tutor can change, but the student cannot.
I am a recently graduated IB/AP student. I have been a volunteer tutor almost everyday for the past four years and have tutored elementary, middle and high school students, even though I prefer elementary. I have a 4.03 gpa and exceed both academically and socially. I pride upon my interpersonal skills and my caring and patient attitude.

I am a seasoned teacher with a vast knowledge base.

I believe in on-hand materials, using all the modalities of hearing, seeing, & tactile.
I have taught for over (23) years from Kindergarten to college Anatomy. I have raised MEAP scores significantly with Math, Reading, & Writing. I also played @ EMU with college football, from 1972-1975. See current resume for experience. The most important part of any passion is attitude & work ethic. I possess both. I have made a difference in many students lives, & I hope I can make a difference in your son/daughter's life.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I have experience working with students through college level.

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

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.

English and Writing CAN be Fun!

Since being awarded a master's degree in 2008, I've taught English composition, literature, and reading comprehension courses at Wayne State University, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College, and Jackson Community College. I am currently a professor of English at Wayne County Community College.
The collaborative learning approach, where students are encouraged to discuss what and how they're learning, is most effective. Students tend to engage much better with course material when the instructor has discussions with them, as opposed to lecturing at them.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I've taught reading, writing and composition at the collegiate level. I'm currently a PhD candidate in Educational Studies at Eastern Michigan University. As a graduate assistant with the GEAR UP program at Eastern, I tutored eighth grade students in various subject areas, with English and writing being my specialty.

I believe in using my experience and expertise as a writer to help students maximize their potential. As a writing and composition instructor at Eastern Michigan University, I worked with a diverse population of students, who were from all different educational backgrounds, and my priority was to ensure that each student excelled and improved their writing. Given my educational and teaching background, tutoring is second nature to me. If you're interested in inquiring about or receiving my services please contact me via email at kbarnes@emich.edu.
