Composition is one of my top subjects! I have taught undergraduate courses in academic writing and composition, with a focus on argumentative and business writing. I am able to tutor students in a variety of proficiencies and style guides, and focus first on the basic understanding of essay, paragraph, and sentence structure. In addition, I am experienced in tutoring students in regards to the essay audience, thesis, topic sentences, citation standards, and more.

I have a bachelor's degree from Coe College in Art History and Writing, which included both creative and technical writing courses for completion. As of 2013, I have a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University. In addition to my academic achievements, I have worked at Bowling Green State University as an instructor of composition and creative writing.

My comments on tutoring Composition : University of Toledo and Herzing University

One on one very individualized style tailored to the student/participant. 50% textual material, 50% hands on project completion that will help build a "working portfolio" for the student. Critical thinking and creative problem solving is crucial.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I work in a school now and I can help show you how to sign the words for this subject.

I have been a professional Interpreter for over 12 years and will continue to do so until I am not needed anymore. I have worked in numerous places as an Interpreter such as Hospitals, court houses, Dr. offices, schools, and etc. I develop a relationship with all my clients that keep them requesting me. I take time to care about what's going on and stay focused and intrigued with everything that's going on.
I can break it down so that it will be as easy for anyone to understand. I also sometimes like to try and connect the sign with the meaning so that it is easy for any person to remember.

A Little Bit About Me...

As before, since I do not have classroom teaching experience I'm not exactly sure what my style would be. Initially I feel I should explain that I do not stand a strict method. From the people I have tutored before I have learned that you need to adapt to different situations and different needs. Some students need more regimented discipline such as an outline of everything for every day and others need just a general idea of what is required, etc, etc. I am confident, and proud, in the fact that I can adapt to any situation. I may not have the experience, but I do have the knowledge and I do have the passion.
Having attended Heidelberg College and receiving a Bachelor's degree in English, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Theater/Communications, I feel I have the necessary experience in order to educate others. Furthermore, I will receiving my Masters degree in English from ... read more

Currently, I hold a bachelor of history degree and I am working on obtaining teacher licensure at the Masters level in curriculum and instruction: AYA social studies.
I believe that students learn best when they are involved in the process. Therefore I like to put students in charge of their learning-whether it is presenting information gathered for a presentation or helping to develop the topics that will be discussed in a particular unit; as long as they are involved and not passive in the process students will learn. I believe it is my job to act as a guide not a dictator in a students education.

As an MBA graduate I have consistently sought to continually improve and manage as many aspects of life that are presented to me. While achieving my BA in Philosophy I stretched my focus into the areas of science and mathematics, given my strengths in those areas. My MBA in Management facilitated the integration of my math and science skills into a practical system of approach and practice. My Calculus skills come in handy while everyone else is doing summations, I find integrals much faster. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects from history and philosophy to statistics and calculus, I have also tutored students in English, Latin, writing, Geology, Chemistry, Geography, Biology, and Anthropology.
I thoroughly love teaching as I come from a line of teachers myself. I have demonstrated that learning happens on multiple levels depending on what level one is working on. ... read more
