I am an educator both by heart and by trade. It is my desire to extend my love of learning to students. This love includes both reading and writing. My philosophy is that if you can teach a person to read, and show that person how reading opens up new avenues of progress for them, the person will never know limitations. As an educator for seven years, I have worked in several different environments and have worn several different hats. I have a BA in English with a concentration in Mass Communications, an MA in Secondary Education with a concentration in Language Arts, and an MA in Educational Leadership and Administration.

The key to good teaching is adaptability. First and foremost I believe that every individual can learn but we all have different learning styles. Some individuals may learn better using visual learning, others process information better from aural input. I believe in both problem-based learning using hands-on application but also realize that skills such as reading and literacy require some more traditional methods such as phonics approaches to reading. I always start tutoring a student by carrying out a diagnostic approach, that is, finding out their strengths, interests, and learning style. I love teaching and bringing out the best in my students, education is the key to their future. I attended Cardiff University where I majored in English studies and Linguistics and have been teaching courses in linguistics, language development and grammar at the college level for 15 years. I curren

I have been teaching freshman composition at the university level for the past 12 years. I have taught all forms of written communication, such as classical argumentation, proposals, creative writing, essays, business writing, rhetoric, responding to emails, memos, etc. Written prose has the power to change lives and learning to write well can mean the difference between mediocrity and excellence. It is also an essential form of communication that is vital to success in today's society. Writing is a skill that is learned; everyone can learn to write well and I can teach you this skill. I look forward to meeting and working with you. I have always enjoyed working with students one-on-one. To teach effectively one must understand what motivates the individual, and the only way to do that is to spend time with that person. If a student is a visual learner, I will use visual aids to illust

I have always valued the importance of a quality education and have encouraged friends with no college ambition to start working on their degrees. I am not, however, an elitist. I think every endeavor is a learning experience, but there are basic skills that are necessary to be successful, such as grammar, spelling, and professionalism. My experience in formal teaching is mostly in college-level public speaking and coaching Little League, but I am a proficient and tedious writer. I am also familiar with APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, and BlueBook formatting styles. As a recreational scientist, as I like to call it, I have also learned a great deal about chemistry (mostly inorganic but some organic), biology, and anatomy and physiology. I come into contact with a variety of different students with different areas of interest as a public speaking teacher. My teaching philosophy is to recogni

I recognize that every student has different needs when it comes to learning styles. I have the resources to help my evaluation in recognizing your child learning style. It is my goal to help your child achieve his/her greatest potential without causing undue stress in each lesson. Learning should be fun. I have been a substitute teacher for the last 25 years in different areas of the country where I have moved. I home-schooled my 2 children for 12 years mostly when I lived in Alaska. My strongest area of teaching is in English, and taught high school English as a full-time temporary position for a teacher on pregnancy leave. I have a B.S. degree in Business Administration and am very well qualified to fulfill your tutoring needs.
