Through hard work and dedication I am now, a comfortable and confident public speaker. My experience in the arts such as Literature, graphic arts, and multimedia allows me to reach across timelines and cultures.

I have studied Shakespeare in both a literary and theatrical sense. I have acted in several Shakespeare performance and spent much of my time in college studying Shakespeare. I can help with understanding the language, the verse and prose, as well as the themes of each piece (play, sonnet, etc). I understand that there are many learning styles and there is no correct or right way to learn. I try to approach a subject from every angle. I have a passion for these subjects. If I have the knowledge and the ability to explain it then I want to. I want to open the doors for someone else to love them too. And if that is not possible then at least for them to understand what they are trying to learn. I have taught students with a variety of learning challenges and special needs. I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a B.A. in Theatre. I took the performance track but I also studied th

If students lack motivation or direction, it’s often because they are trying to perform an advanced task without basic skills. For example, many students know about the “five-paragraph essay” format, but don’t know how to organize the individual sentences. The first part of my philosophy focuses on providing students with these basic skills, as doing so prepares and makes them eager to face their assignments. The second part of my philosophy involves research. When students don’t know something, I’ve found that they will be quick to give up without considering the resources available. By showing students how to teach themselves, I let them know that they do have the opportunity and ability to succeed if they put in the effort. I first tutored for two years during high school when a family friend asked me to help him teach kids chess at four elementary schools. I thoroughly enjoyed these

As a high school honors student, I majored in English and achieved the highest score possible (five -- 5) on the English Exam. In College, I pursued my interest in English language by majoring in Literature, with an emphasis upon etymology, linguistics, speech and rhetoric. My senior thesis on the poetic technique of Alexander Pope earned both an "Honors A" and that year's sole English Faculty Award. I later chose to attend a law school that was renowned for its general emphasis upon writing and, in particular, "plain English" legal communication. I love to see students grasp a new concept and revisit their work with greater pride and confidence as a result. Realizing we all learn in differing rates and manners, I find great satisfaction in teaching in several ways at the same time (e.g., varying visual and auditory cues, telling stories and providing mnemonic devices).

I have six children of my own and 13 grandchildren. I have always loved children and I have a special connection with kids of all ages. I am very laid back and enjoy interacting with kids. I believe all children can be successful in learning if they are given the proper incentive and encouragement. Every child is unique and special and will respond to the right teaching environment and the right teacher. I strive to meet each child's unique requirements and to assist them in developing good study habits and confidence in their abilities. I have earned three college degrees, a BA in Urban and Regional Planning,a BA in English Literature and a MA in Natural Resource Sciences. I also have over 25 years of experience as a Senior Planner and as a Planning Director, positions that required me to train and educate a staff of people. I have worked with various government officials and commun

I spent most of my high school and college career honing my writing and reading ability, and through four years of English classes I have developed excellent writing skills. Additionally, my computer and internet knowledge has grown through my studies and professional work. I feel comfortable with all styles of writing, and enjoy discussing writing and reading with all age groups. I also enjoy studying chemistry and science, and I excelled at both in high school and in college. I have been working with students for a year and a half as an after school specialist with the YMCA and a tutor in the Issaquah area. I like to instill in students a desire to learn. It makes it easier for them to have fun learning and easier for me to teach them new subjects. My first goal as a tutor, especially in reading and writing, is to connect with the student and find a topic that interests them. One of t

I worked as a writing tutor at my college, Concordia University, for three of the years that I attended. During that time, I honed my teaching style and studied English composition to best explain grammar rules, style, and syntax to students. I also had the opportunity to train other tutors, which helped me understand every aspect of tutoring composition. It is easy to blur the line between tutoring composition and editing. I have learned to refuse to edit in favor of teaching students to recognize, correct and in the future avoid errors in their writing. My work in Concordia’s writing center inspired me to focus my senior thesis, In a Nutshell: A Guide to College Essay Writing, on teaching the writing process to incoming college freshmen. Each tutoring experience should be tailored to the unique learning style of the student in order to ensure that the student gleans the maximum amount

I have tutored students in ESL, Spanish, English grammer and composition, guitar and poetry, primarily.

I have earned two bachelor degrees, BM in Music and BA in English. Having a high level of ambition and love for learning, I chose to continue on to obtain my Masters in Literature. To this I have added Endorsements in History and Social Studies bringing my total to 6 Endorsements. I have taught Music through an online school for three years as well as substituted in my local school districts for 11 years. Additionally, I was a tutor at Central Washington University for 2 years. I served as a full-time volunteer helping an English teacher at Morgan Middle School for a semester. I also volunteered in English and in Social Studies for an additional quarter. It is important for a teacher to be able to mold their instruction to fit different individuals. It is this student diversity that makes tutoring such a valuable practice at the secondary level. No two students learn in the same way or
