I have experience with children ages 10-14 in reading as well as math. I enjoy using unique and exciting learning styles and am very attentive to individual needs. I am committed to making children a priority and seeing them succeed and gain confidence in their abilities. In addition to my tutoring experience I have worked for newspapers and magazines which has given me great knowledge of the English language.

Teaching confidence through kindness and success

I taught high school social studies for 26 years at Tates Creek High School, primarily as a psychology teacher. I also taught a year at Tates Creek Middle School in the areas of Citizenship and American History. Since retiring, I spent five years as a substitute teacher in the Fayette County system, teaching everything in the areas of math, science, social studies, English and also in a variety of elective studies- from creative writing to geometry and history to earth science. This past year, I volunteered as an all-purpose weekly tutor for a fifth-grader at Athens-Chilesburg Elementary. I enjoy teaching and helping young people grow and gain personal confidence.
I believe in learning about each student, helping him or her become comfortable with the subject matter and then guiding the student to reasonable learning proficiencies.

My comments on tutoring Journalism : I have a journalism minor, but it is something I have had very little need to know. An APA format book, or whatever style is being used, serves just as well as a tutor.

I am a teacher that makes sure her students understand the basics, then we build on that. No one is a great writer unless he/she doesn't have an appropriate grasp of the fundamentals. It's like trying to master shooting a three point shot in basketball without knowing how to hold the ball or dribble. I have always been told by students that I am the best teacher they ever had because I don't assume they know anything. I evaluate exactly their proficiency in the subject, and tailor lessons to where they are in their understanding. Also, even though my students may be older, they still want our sessions to be fun! There's a way to make anything "fun," and I know how to do just that. A former gifted and talented instructor as well, I am very creative, so there is no "sleeping" in my sessions!

Degreed teacher and honored writer can be your resource

I have been commended for my ability to teach students holistically. This means I take in consideration the student's background and prior knowledge, and then design a method of instruction to fit that particular student. This makes me a accomplished and preferred tutor
Began teaching in the early 80's in the United States Army. Received my degree and started teaching High School in Kansas. Worked on and received my Master's in Teaching From the University of Louisville. Continued my teaching and writing careers, and have a book in publication. I have improved students ability to learn while helping them reach their goals.

Children can learn in a variety of ways. Some are more comfortable hearing instruction, others should be shown visually.... and others use a mix.Safety and security, along with comfort is critical to success. Methods utilized will vary upon the needs of the learner. The instructor must be flexible and adapt to the circumstances and needs of the child, teen or adult. Experiential learning is the best way for children to learn and retain the message. Therefore, creativity is important. A tutor may use jingles, rhymes or real life experiences as a way to help a child remember the lessons. Adult learners have their struggles too! Patience and understanding is univeral, no matter the age of the learner.

More About This Tutor...

I have a very diverse background range from English to science. My jobs require me to understand complex topics so that I can convert them into concepts that are understandable by lay audiences. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. I am finishing my Master of Science in Entomology at the University of Nebraska. My unconventional background is what fuels my desire to learn about science. I have a solid understanding of grammar as evident by the more than 300 trade letters, papers, and articles I have authored in my career. I have tutored numerous people in mathematics, biology, and science writing and journalism. That is my way of paying back all those people who taught me what I know today.
I use the scientific method of teaching. My style is Socratic. I believe, as Rene Descartes did before me, that human knowledge is innate, including our ability to learn and use language. ... read more
