Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

My teaching style with students of all ages is to facilitate their learning as opposed to simply feeding them what I feel is the best response. Students learning is maximized when they can take ownership of and pride in their work. I am very patient. Recognizing that all students learn differently, I seek to ascertain their learning styles and then adjust my tutoring style to that learning style. I taught and tutored ESL two years before entering law school. I hae taught college classes as an adjunct and later FT professor at Penn College for 25 years. I currently serve as Career Outreach Coordinator for HACC-Lebanon Campus. I have tutored many students, particularly in areas such as writing essays. I also served as a reader for the SAT Writing section, so I am familiar with what they are seeking. I am very proficient in grammar and structure.

A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching. I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level.

I have been tutoring students privately since 2004 in a variety of subjects for grade levels ranging from elementary to graduate level university coursework and Ph.D. dissertations. I mostly tutor students in Mathematics, Literature/Humanities, and Business courses. However, I have also tutored many students from grades 1-12, but I am also experienced tutoring traditional and non-traditional college students. I also tutored and graded for the John Carroll University Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for five years. In addition, I have two years of Statistical Consulting experience in a variety of different fields, whereby I use mostly SAS and SPSS, as well as STATA. Currently, I am pursuing a MA in Criminal Justice and Criminology, and looking forward to attending Law School in the distant future.

I bring over fifteen years of teaching experience in language arts and math to my students. After retiring from full-time teaching, I began tutoring students ranging from first graders to students prepping for the SAT, ACT, and GRE exams. I've tutored both individuals and small groups and have seen students improve their academic careers dramatically. Students want to succeed. I offer the personalized curricula and individual attention that build the confidence and skills students need to turn their academic lives around. I’ve helped C students become academic stars and failing students discover their inner scholar and bring home grades that make their parents smile.

My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Ins

I have been teaching elementary school poetry, up to 6th grade for 6 years.This is poetry that has been part of their grade level requirement. I have been working for 2 tutoring companies involved with the "no child left behind program" designed by the education department.

I have also tutored poetry at elementary school level privately for a number of students over this period, and have helped with homework. I have had excellent results, with most of my students achieving almost double the scores from their pre-test score to their post-test score. All my students have shown a marked improvement at school. I am a very dedicated and patient teacher who goes the extra mile to make sure that my students enjoy their lessons and are encouraged to work to their best ability. I

I have tutored online and in person for over 10 years. I have edited over one-thousand essays, and have tutored grammar, poetry, and all aspects of writing and rhetoric. I taught tenth-grade English in a High School during the 2004-2006 school years. Additionally, I taught in the private sector at the middle-school level, grades 6-8. This past year I made the choice to take time off from teaching in order to focus on obtaining my MAT in secondary English, which I will complete in May of this year. I am very anxious to begin teaching again. The years that I taught were extremely rewarding and fulfilling. My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. . It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the

Please see my abilities listed in the 'literature section above. During my years teaching English literature, at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada, I quickly discovered that the most rewarding and effective moments between student and instructor occur in one-to-one meetings. The tutoring environment is the ideal classroom, where a single student’s learning needs, academic desires and questions can be fully catered to, fulfilled and explored. I have worked with first-year university students, middle school students, all levels of high school students, and older adults. My advanced education, extensive experience, sincere respect for my students, and genuine love and enthusiasm for literature and learning make me an effective and valuable educator. I possess both a Master's degree and a BA in English literature, with a minor degree in History; and as the only
