A Little Bit About Me...

I am an experienced teacher that has taught secondary English and journalism for the past 13 years. I have six years of experience teaching Advanced Placement English composition with a 60% pass rate. During my years of teaching I have also taught American and British Literature, Speech, Composition, Creative Writing, Journalism, junior high language arts and keyboarding. I am also very knowledgeable of computers and various programs. I briefly worked for a company called Club Z! as a tutor until this company folded.
There is nothing more rewarding than helping a child fulfill his or her potential. I enjoy helping kids achieve their goals and not only learn, but grow as learners. I believe children learn best through doing. I, myself, am a visual learner and try to provide ways for kids to learn based on their individual learning styles. I have a good sense of humor and a st ... read more

I teach each person on an individual level. There are several reasons behind this. Some of them are: people have different strengths and weaknesses, people learn at quicker/slower rates than others, some individuals are more adept at one subject matter than another, and the motivation of the individual varies greatly from person to person. I try to teach by example. I also believe in constructive criticism and use positive reinforcement. I always try to give examples and "paint a picture" so that the person clearly understands the subject being taught. Hands on, discovery, field trips, audio, video, anything I can pull in to teach with is essential to making it the best learning experience that I know how.
I have enjoyed a successful career in sales for well over 20 years. In my sales career, I was involved with training of new and prospective employees. This inv ... read more

Most of my teaching experience has come through the various assistantships I had at Wheaton College. These involved a wide range of tasks, from tutoring to leading discussions to conducting extensive research. I have been able to sharpen the skills I developed as an undergraduate through my studies and teaching opportunities at Notre Dame. Not only that, I have witnessed the art of pedagogy reach a level of excellence I had never thought possible. These first-rate professors combine raw intellectual power with gentleness, jocularity and humility, and while I am on leave this year from the program, I would be proud to help students in even a fraction of the way these individuals have helped me.
Excellence in teaching, I believe, depends less on method and more on the character of the teacher. Since a student is a human being before he or she assumes the role of the learner, it is in ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am passionate about literature, writing, and proper grammar, but I also have a strong grounding in pop culture, which helps, I think, to make the subject matter relevant and engaging. I am patient and skilled at explaining difficult subjects in a way that I feel a student can understand and I believe that humor is a very important tool in making learning an enjoyable experience. Some of my favorite and most effective teachers were among the funniest people I know and that serves as an inspiration for my own teaching style.
I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in English and political science and spent the four years following graduation working on the communications team for Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York City. In that capacity I supervised a staff of five full time employees and a variable number of interns. That experience was helpful in terms of learning to teac ... read more
