Language Arts Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Louisville, KY

Foreign language and culture study has been one of my primary passions for years. I took my first French class at age 9, but really began in-depth study as a high school student. I excelled throughout those four years, finishing with AP level French language. Unsure of where to focus my university studies, I abandoned French for a couple years, but returned to it with a renewed energy. I finally realized that French language was something I wanted to spend my life with, and proceeded to major in it at the University of Louisville, enrolling my final semester in graduate-level French literature and proficiency courses. After working and saving money, I realized a long-time dream: I spent the end of the summer and fall season of 2012 living and travelling independently in Paris and southern France. This immersion cemented my conversation skills immensely, as I soon began to think ex

I started tutoring in 2009 through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana. I tutor my "Little" for an hour once a week. I help with whatever subject they need. My specialty is Language Arts, but if you need help with basic math, I can do that too. I have observed many elementary, middle school, and high school classes. I know what works best, especially since I'm going to become a high school language arts teacher in a few years. I'm patient. I'll try and make my lessons easy to understand. I know how frustrating language arts can be, but I also know how rewarding it can be as well. I can relate very easily to high school students, because I just graduated from high school 5 years ago.

I have been teaching now for a total of four years. However, I have been working in the educational field for eight years. Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked as a library clerk. Also, I have experience as a tutor. I tutored for two years in an after-school program at a local church in my community. Currently, I am a special education teacher at Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North in Louisville, Kentucky. I mainly teach sixth grade language arts classes. My skills and knowledge of how to effectively educate students have continued to improve over the years. The summative evaluations I have received each year as a teacher have been positive. Administrators at my school often communicate to me that they are appreciative of the manner in which I interact with my students. They especially like the way I always maintain a positive attitude and a calm demeanor with my students. I feel tha

Pick out what's good and encourage that. It is too easy to focus on the negative. As a writer who understands rejection very well, it has humbled me. Another set of eyes always helps during the editing process. Sometimes a writer just needs to be set on the correct path, and they can do much of the rest from there. Being a parent has also taught me patience, which is something any teacher needs. Also, reading helps you become a better writer. I think when I was younger I didn't want to hear that as much, but it's true. While I have made a living as a technical writer in the software industry for sixteen years, part of making a life has been through my creative writing. I have written eighteen screenplays, three adult fiction manuscripts, three nonfiction manuscripts, two YA manuscripts, and now I hope to have found my niche as a middle grade novelist.

I have a B.A. in English and History from Marquette University in Miwaukee, Wisconsin. I believe in studying those subjects which are of greatest interest to me, and I have always had a strong passion for literature as an expression of who we are in this world and who we want to be. Literature is the exploration of our human condition, and I have always wanted to learn more about how those before us experienced their world. I was fortunate enough to spend my junior year abroad studying Medieval and Renaissance literature at Oxford University in England. While I attended a school that served the credit needs of American studying abroad, I still expereinced a very unique and special educational system. I learned to write at Oxford with anywhere from three to four 10-page papers due each week! It was the most amazing time becuase any work of literature I was reading meant that I could v
