I believe in a communicative, student-centered teaching approach. In my classes I develop creative, hands-on curriculum materials that reach every student’s learning style and ability. I incorporate a variety of methods to accommodate students via visual, audio, tactile and kinesthetic methods. I also endeavor to guide my second language students toward comprehension, retaining language concepts, and taking increased responsibility for learning by providing topics of individual interest and using authentic materials. My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest, communicative and supportive environment in which each student feels safe, secure, special and appropriately challenged.
Language competence is my specialty and my educational passion. My credentials include a BA is in Journalism with a Spanish minor and a MAT with both a Spanish concentration and TESOL endorsement. ... read more

Communicating with others is such an essential part of the real world, and so many people do not understand how to use this skill correctly. I strive to teach others how to read better, write stronger, and gather their ideas to make convincing arguments. I believe that with the right knowledge, students can become better writers. I also think that my experience as a student, a tutor and a writer will make a difference to kids who haven't had the same opportunities.
Coming from a Hungarian background, I have always been in tune to language and I have been influenced in many ways by my mother, a native of Hungary, and teachers throughout the years. I have had access to the best reading and writing education, leading me to feel a strong connection to the mechanics of speech and teaching others those principles.

Tutoring students is a big part of teaching. I have always tutored students in my classes and anyone who has asked for my help. I have tutored students on their writing, reading and basic math skills. Being a Special Education teacher has afforded me many opportunities to tutor. During school time and after school. If I had to pin point a specialty I would say listening and making students feel at ease right where they are academically. Showing them the educational path that will add to their knowledge and enrich it.
Striving to make the student feel comfortable is part of my basic repertoire of teaching strategies. I know that when a student does not succeed in a typical classroom environment it is easy for the student to feel negative about learning. Our society is based on the 'cookie cutter' ideology one size fits all. So when I tutor I strive for the student to feel co ... read more

My style is simple and direct. My experience suggests that all students can learn if the teacher can find some common interest point to get the ball rolling. My students are encouraged to be creative in their problem solving. I try to utilize as many age appropriate real life examples to make the learning more engaging and relevant to the subject at hand.
As a lifelong learner, I took on the challenge to complete my Bachelors and Masters degree after working as a professional musician for 15 years. My earlier undergraduate work combined music with a broadcast journalism minor. I have used those skills to write, as well as produce music , videos and edit for television. As a classroom music teacher and administrator, I used computer technology and the arts to teach reading, writing and math.

A Little Bit About Me...

After earning a BA in Creative Writing and a BA in English at Oberlin Colege, I taught for a year as a substitute within the Cleveland Municipal School District. After that, I worked for two years as a tutor with the Tutoring Club in Westlake. I primarily assisted high school students with SAT and ACT prep courses. My specialties were writing and English. I've also worked with helping middle school and high school students develop effective study skills and coming up with a good strategies for tackling homework.
To me, the most important thing is to be a good listener. I usually like to spend the first 5 to 10 minutes with a new student just chatting about their academic life and their study habits. That gives me a good sense of where they are, what areas they will likely be strong in and what areas where they will likely need further development. It also helps the student feel mor ... read more

My son, as I stated earlier can be rebellious, so I have to be very patient with him and always stay positive. I constantly tell him how smart he is, how well he is doing, and I always point out his accomplishments and tell him where more work is needed. This style to me is important when working with any child, positive reinforcement and contant encouragement is needed.

I believe that an often overlooked quality in teaching is the ability to communicate. As a communication major, with training in associating with all types of people, I am not an academic who would confuse the student. I am a problem solver and can easily adapt to any type of learner. For me, history is undervalued by today's students and I would do my part to ensure that past events and their meanings are explained to your child in a clear, accurate manner. Children need somebody willing to listen to them and someone willing to be patient with their abilities. I feel I would excel at both and want to help make a difference in their lives and help them gain perspective.
As a communication major, to go along with my secondary major in history, my strengths lie in the ability to effectively engage with the student to give them a better understanding of history by speaking to them in ... read more

I have worked with all different ages of students, from 3rd grade to college, and enjoyed all of my experiences.

As an English tutor for the Kent State Writing Commons for four years, I was able to work with a wide variety of students. I enjoyed working with everyone from new entering freshmen to doctoral students. I also worked people in different educational backgrounds and people who were culturally diverse. English as a Second Language (ESL) students were also apart of my daily tutoring regimen. I also have a background which involves working with children ages 6-15. As a childcare provider I taught small classes of children basic reading and writing skills.
My teaching style is a “hands on” approach. I like to find out what the student already knows about the subject. I then like to fill in the missing links for the student in a fun, and interactive manner. I discuss any questions that the student has about the material after the initial information is given. I complete the process by go ... read more

I love teaching and working with students. I feel that there is a way to educate and student, no mare how severe his/her problems, so long as I, the tutor, am willing to adjust my teaching style to his/her personality and/or learning problem. All struggling students can fulfill their educational goals so long as they are willing to put for the effort required and I as their tutor am there to guide them. Seeing this transition occur, from struggling to confident, in my previous experience has made teaching extremely fulfilling.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to work with all ages, and I believe my approach to tutoring varies depending upon each individual student. I believe in making sure the learning experience is fun by making it more innovative, comprehensive and something that can be applied to real life situations. I strive to make connections within a child's environment so that they can succeed in the classroom. I would love to help your child find the success that they deserve.
In high school and throughout my college career, I have tutored many ages- varying from age 8 to age 30. I've earned a BA in English from Kent State University in 2007, and it has helped me to understand the importance of literacy in young adults as well as continuing education. I worked at the Ohio Literacy Resource Center as a tutor for college students, and have been involved with Junior Achievement and tutored French to third grade students fo ... read more
