Masters Degree in English and American Literature from the University of California, San Diego. Studied Shakespeare at both the undergrad and graduate level. While an undergrad, studied at Oxford University in England focuing on Medieval and Renaissance texts, and read a number of his plays. Also attended a production of The Tempest by the RSC. In addition, one of my four portfolio papers for the MA was a comparative analysis of the role of the forest in Shakespeare's As You Like It, a theme which evolves in meaning over the years of the play's popularity and production. Extensive hands-on classroom instuction with first year college students, would be suitable for junior and senior high school instruction as well.

I consider myself a very patient tutor, which I think is essential to the process. That said, I usually offer the student a few options in which to learn the material. I then let them decide which option makes the most sense to them. I believe Education and learning is a very personal process, which is why it should be tailored to each individual differently. *I am available to help with homeschooling students. Please contact me for more details! I first want to start out by saying that I have a passion for what I do. I have over seven years of experience as a tutor and mentor and it has been a very rewarding experience.

I have taught many Shakespearean plays and had my students memorize many famous and beloved lines of his blank verse and couplets. Knowing how to interpret his lines is an art, and one in which I am very accomplished I have 27 years experience in the high school English classroom, and I have a Master's Degree in English from the University of KY. Currently, I am retired and tutor on the side, as well as, run my own business. When I was in the classroom, my students were energized. That's what I bring to the classroom and to my tutoring, a strong knowledge of the subject matter coupled with a creative, energetic approach. My tutoring career began quite by chance as most of my former students kept returning to my home with requests for help with their college assignments in writing. After years of this, I decided that it was a new career for me. When I retired, it was a natural progres

I thrive on making learning fun for children but also love to help them see the relevance of what they have learned and what they can do with that skill. I have found that if a student knows why he/she has to learn something, they are far more invested in the process. I have six years of teaching experience across a variety of levels. Most of my experience is in Language Arts and Social Studies but I have Tutoring and Math teaching experience also. I am adept at identifying a learning need and meeting the outcome. I have worked with children in subsidized environments and with children who have education plans. A major asset is that I have worked with all ages and can tailor instructional programs that will meet the needs of the early learner through middle school/high school level. I am compassionate yet firm and meet the child where they are educationally and take them where the

As an undergraduate, I spent three years in the education program. I clocked over 100 hours in public schools observing, mentoring, or otherwise working with children in elementary, middle, and high school. I also spent two years as a Writing Center Consultant where I worked with college students on their own writing. I was an ESL tutor for one semester where I worked with two small groups of Japanese speaking students on their English skills. I have also spent the last year as a Graduate Teaching Assistant where I work with one class of freshman composition students each quarter. I love working with students of all ages. I believe that everyone can learn when they are given opportunities for success. Those opportunities most often give support to the student, but they also teach the student to take a responsibility for his or her own learning. I believe in teaching students to master co

During my two years attending graduate school at Ohio University, I was responsible for teaching an introductory college course. Aside from the mandated textbook, I developed and distributed all course materials, including in-class lectures, classroom exercises, course examinations, and other various learning materials. I assisted the students in properly parsing and formulating an appropriate answer to each assignment, as well as clarifying their own conceptual understanding of the course material. This heavy emphasized one-on-one instruction with individual students who found the material exceptionally challenging, and was done multiple times per week. I love to learn and love to share that joy with others. I try to be clear and precise as possible in my explanation of course content, but I try to avoid blatantly giving a student an answer to a question. I feel the best way to learn is

Having double Masters in Education and English, recently took Kentucky Teaching Certification in English, ESL, communications, all grades.I have over 8 years experience in Teaching. Apart from this I am in to Instructional/curriculum Design, which enables me to impart the lessons in a orderly manner. I like to teach children in different innovative ways, which makes my lessons very easy and interesting for the children. One-on-one method works well too, if handling a difficult area I would prefer to take the students from known-to- unknown, easy to difficult.

I like to determine my teaching style by first evaluating a child's current progress and learning style. Learning is a very individualized process, therefore, teaching must also be individual. I am a relaxed person, and I like to find a way to relate material to a child in a way that he/she will not only understand, but retain. Flash cards are great for some children, and other children will learn better with a pneumonic device, while still other learners will make up a song to remember the material. As an English major, I spent all 4 years at my private instutition tutoring my fellow students, not only in English and writing courses, but in all academic classes in which I had received a grade of "A" or "B". 3 of my 4 years at Lindsey Wilson were spent in the Education department, as I originally wanted to be a high school English teacher. I also spent several summers as a Camp Couns

I have a masters degree in psychology, specializing in child development. During my undergraduate studies, I minored in music and English. In recent years, I have taught music and English to both children and adults. I also have a great deal in knowledge in other subject areas, like history, religion, and even a little Spanish. Very simply, I believe that an instructor should be a facilitator of the learning process, not a dictator. The best learning is that which is done by the student him/herself through experiencing and seeing things firsthand. I strive to get to know my students and make my tutoring sessions unique and tailored to fit each individual student's needs.
