Poetry is one of my top subjects! A poet at an early age, I edited my college literary magazine, and so have both personal and education-related experience with poetry as an art and as a study subject. Appreciation for songs is typically an appreciate for poetry, as lyrics are the type of poem people are most familiar with. I can help you better understand poems and expand your appreciation, and perhaps discover your own ability!

I hold a Bachelors in English with a minor in Philosophy and Religion. I have years of experience in business writing and in creative writing and poetry; some work in advertising and PR as well. I read books for money, forecasting pre-publication fiction for the trade magazine Publisher's Weekly. English is the most beautiful, malleable and useful language on earth! Whatever you learn now will greatly assist you in school and in the job market of the future.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I love writing poetry and truly enjoy reading poetry as well.I have experience in writing my own poetry for the stage as well as other creative writing outlets. I would love to help someone find their voice within the realms of poetic fodder and see just how creative they don't even know they are! :)

I don't like to tell you what to learn, but rather guide you to see it for yourself, allowing you to come to the right conclusion on your own. Helping you teach yourself, so that when the time comes for that test or that epic paper, you will know you can do it because you know it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe everyone will respond well to individualized instruction when the tutor studies the student's learning style and offers the information in the form best suited to each learner. I am patient and encouraging with students. I work hard to find ways to present a subject so that each learner will find it interesting.
I am the author of five historical novels and a number of articles, poems and short stories. I occasionally do short “residences” teaching Language Arts and Drama to special needs students in k-12 schools for VSA Arts of Florida. My graduate studies emphasized American and Tudor/Stuart History. My doctorate included a Criminal Justice minor. I regularly teach writing and grant writing seminars to adults, usually through libraries on weekends or in the evening.

I believe children want to learn, if it is done with humor and patience. It just takes the time and effort to find the way that works best. I am a person that wants every child to succeed and will work to find the best way for your child.
Even though I received my B.A. in Criminal Justice, I am knowledgeable in several other areas of study. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays because of my interest in other various fields of study.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer in that every child can succeed in whatever they strive for if they are given proper instruction. Even difficult learners can succeed if the proper teaching methods are employed. Different students have different stimuli that they respond to. There is no one cookie cutter mold for teaching. After all, each student is an individual and responds in their own way. The challenge for the teacher is to find the most efficient way to engage and motivate the student to genuinely want to learn and succeed.

A Little Bit About Me...

My mother is a reading development teacher. She works with Title 1 children every day in her job. Before coming to college, I volunteered over 100 hours working with a Title 1 child on her reading, writing, and math skills. She was in the third grade for the second time that year, and by no means can I take credit for the fact that she went on to pass that year, but I do believe I helped her by understanding her difficulties, working with her as someone who was interested in seeing her succeed. I am a very patient person, and most of all, I consider myself empathetic. I believe that teaching is achieved through understanding each child's specific needs and emotions, and working through the difficulties with firm, but kind leadership.

A Little Bit About Me...

I've been told that I have a unique style of teaching. I like to teach using rhymes, antonyms, and relating the subject to familiar life situations. My experience with this style of teaching seems to help students retain information better while simultaneously enjoying the process. I try to incorporate fun into the learning process and always commend students for achieving their goals. Many times I offer incentives for improving grades or improved test scores/progress reports. I try to make the tutoring process enjoyable for both me and the student, while also making sure the student learns as much as possible in each session.
