A Little Bit About Me...

I hold an M.A. and an M.Phil. in English Language and Literature (with a concentration in Renaissance literature) from Yale University and a B.A. in English and Philosophy from the University of New Mexico. For the past year and a half, I have been a full-time, tenure-track Instructor of English at the Carlsbad branch of New Mexico State University. I have taught a wide variety of courses in English composition and literature at Yale, UNM, NMSU, and Central New Mexico Community College for the last six years, including courses in developmental and college-level composition, technical writing, traditional grammar, literary criticism and theory, world literature, the Bible as literature, Shakespeare, Milton, modern poetry, and contemporary fiction, often carrying enormous course-loads. I have also collaborated with colleagues on numerous administrative committees and have a wealth of exper ... read more

Everything is primarily example- and real-life-based, but I can cater to most individual learning styles.
I have no formal teaching experience, only what the demands of life have taught me. I have helped fellow students with the day's lesson and homework. I have also taught new member of my church's tech team the ropes of the computer and production which includes quick-thinking, concentration, improvisation, and teamwork.

Experienced Language Arts Tutor

Since every student has a unique learning style, I adapt my teaching style in order to meet your needs. Still, in every tutoring session, I guarantee patience, persistence, enthusiasm, and quality instruction.
I'm currently a middle school English teacher, and I love my job! I have taught English Language Arts to 7th-12th grades, which means I can help you with any skills or assignments. In college, I was an English and Education major, so I have a strong background in academic reading and writing, and I know how to teach to all types of learners. I also worked as a college-level writing tutor for four years.

My comments on tutoring Spelling : I can make spelling fun, active and engaging. Most spelling makes sense, and when students realize that, they gain confidence in their abilities.

I have deeply enjoyed 18 years of instructing and stimulating students in five states--Michigan, Wisconsin, Idaho, Washington, and Alaska. Most of my experience has been working with gifted students at the intermediate and middle school level; but I am also adept at, and enjoy the challenge of, working with students who have been struggling academically.
I am always working to make learning engaging, vital and fun. I have implemented school-wide science fairs, maintained an ongoing chess club, created community-wide mental math competitions, presented at various professional conferences, and directed the district environmental summer program at the school forest. My students videotape flora and fauna, study the stars first-hand, plant and nurture an urban garden, start our own worm farm, and over the years have planted hundreds and hundreds of trees. We practice division of dec ... read more
