Creative Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oak Island, NC

Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways. As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student.

BA degree of interdisciplinary studies. 36 credits in Science and over 26 credits in Education. I am currently working on my Masters of teaching degree and substitute teach for all Grade levels. I have been working with Children if all ages. My career started as a preschool and Private Kindergarten teacher which lead to a Director position. I enjoy substitute teaching now at all levels but my very favorite is Science! When working with a student I try to first understand their specific learning style. Not every child is the same and retains information best using different methods of teaching.

I have always excelled in the realm of Language Arts and Music. I received my Bachelor's degree from Full Sail University and graduated with a GPA of 3.9, as well. I have 3 years of combined tutoring experience in a variety of subjects, but primarily in the field of Language Arts. I have tutored with New Hanover County Schools for several years, as well. I work with a variety of age groups ranging from the elementary to high school age level. I prefer to focus on the student's strengths while growing them in their weaknesses. I fully believe every individual has the ability to succeed with hard-work and dedication. Therefore, I do my best to bring out their desire for excellence through encouraging them in the area in which they excel. In addition, I constructively discuss the more challenged areas of their work, as well.

I studied Political Science, Psychology, Literature, and Creative Writing at Boston University. I have extensive research experience and am a skilled editor and proofreader. High School AP exams are easy if you know your material! I took the exams in the following categories with scores of 4s and 5s: Literature, Psychology, Composition, European History, and American History. I tutored elementary students in math and reading for a community service program during my time in Boston and still edit research papers for friends and acquaintances. I approach teaching creatively and encourage a student's involvement when creating their lesson plans. My background in psychology provides a unique perspective on effective teaching techniques for different personality types. Everyone learns differently and teaching should reflect this principle.

My expertise is teaching writing. If you need help with college applications, excelling in a writing intensive class, or just want to improve your writing skills, I can definitely help you. I taught in California for 7 years, and now I have been teaching in North Carolina for 8 years. I have taught 5-8th grade, but I am certified to teach English up to 12th grade. I have taught math, science and language arts and am certified to teach multiple subjects at the k-6 level. I am very encouraging and positive. I will always tall a student what they are doing well before telling them what needs improvement. However, I will be honest and push students to achieve more then they think they can.

I am a retired college English professor who taught several college transfer courses at the community college level. I also worked as a tutor for several years at the college. I hold a master's degree in Creative Writing and English Literature. My undergraduate degree is in Speech Correction. Currently, I am writing screenplays and making short films. Because I have been teaching since the 1970s, I have extensive experience in several teaching styles and have a creative sensibility. I prefer to assess the student before making a determination as to the choice of learning strategies. I work well in a one-on-one approach.

I have over 21 years of experience in law enforcement. In each of those years I was required to instruct others in numerous subjects. Those years gave me a sense of discipline and motivation which I applied to my students learning experiences. During my lifetime, I have experienced a wide variety of professional exposures, and I did my best to master each one. This gives me a tremendously broad base of practical knowledge to impart to others. Currently, I am an adjunct professor for basic law enforcement training at Brunswick Community College in Supply, NC. I have learned several teaching techniques, but the one that I prefer is the military training style. I tell them what I am going to teach, then I teach them, and then I tell them what I taught them. Finally, I require a practical application of the skills they have learned. Your child will find learning from me to be f

My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as an individual person, with their own talents and ideas. There is nothing better than when a person's face lights up, young or old, when they "get it." Knowing you have impacted a person, potentially for the rest of their life, is a reward in and of itself. The pay that comes attached to it is the bonus. Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program

I have more than 15 years experience in the public schools at both the elementary and high school levels. My experience entails working with students who have a variety of needs including learning differences, emotional needs, mental health issues and behavioral needs. I enjoy being with children, watching them progress and develop as they learn. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the joy of a child who masters a new task. Adolescents are my favorite people in the world. I connect easily with them. I honor every youth's abilities and strengths and help them work on their deficits with patience and respect. I believe firmly that each child can be engaged.
