A Little Bit About Me...

I constantly evaluate my success in communication of the course material to the students. I believe that everyone who is motivated to learn, will learn, and will learn the skills imparted well.

My professional writing experience has has sharpened my ability to communicate and explain information in a variety of ways - a skill that comes in especially handy with students who need a fresh approach to tackling their struggles. I often hear students say, "Now I see - that makes perfect sense!" My professional writing experience includes three syndicated columns. With each new student, I start with getting to know the student as a person - not just for learning style purposes, but also for the student to understand that I am here for him/her. This helps avoid intimidation too, as a straight jump to students' academic challenges can sometimes get your sessions started on the wrong foot.
I have tutored K – college-aged students in various subjects. Most recently, I served as a math teacher under the federal Supplemental Education services program. / At Mind Matters Learning Ct ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my years as an undergraduate English major, I was drawn to the world of teaching and tutoring through two part-time positions, including one on-campus, with college-aged students, and one with elementary to high school-aged students. I loved seeing my students' pleasure at learning how to comprehend the words they read, to assimilate that information into an in-depth college essay, to finally grasp that one bit of knowledge that so alluded them. I taught students with learning and behavioral disabilities, and was good at my job (and loved it). During the last seven years, I have tutored students in writing, English literature, reading, reading comprehension, psychology, the arts, anthropology, and study skills. I have taught all subject areas to middle school students, grades 6-8, and taught English literature and writing to 9th and 11th graders.
I am a born teacher, and ... read more

Over the course of the past 10 years I have spent time working with students struggling to develop their academic skills, particularly in the areas of language arts and the social studies. From my initial work as a foster care academic transitions liaison,to the attainment of my M.ED., my broad service as a classroom teacher, department chair and A.P. program coordinator, I have been fortunate to work with students from across the broadest possible ability spectrum and have learned to sow the seeds of confidence and success in learners of all competency and motivational levels.
Due to my experience with a broad range of young learners, each working at a different academic and or cognitive pace, I follow a modified Socratic approach to both my classroom and one on one instruction by placing the emphasis on the student as we identify areas for growth. I then sculpt an academic progra ... read more

I believe that the best way to teach a child or student is by listening to them first. By understanding what they see in the subject, I am able to put what they need to learn into perspective for them. Patience and a great listening ear is the best approach when it comes to communicating the right instructions.
During my last two years at Shorter University, I was employed by both the Shorter University Writing Center and the Shorter University Periscope (the newspaper). I spent those two years tutoring students on the composition and structure of essays, and helped them edit and proofread their work. As an editor for the newspaper, I was a mentor to all of my staff writers, as well as a contributor myself.
