I love to inspire creativity and push for success!

I love to incorporate creative and outside-the-box approaches in my teaching methods. I genuinely believe that often, to get students to understand material, they need to be interested in the concepts and I try to keep that in mind during my preparation. I also believe it is important to help students learn to become critical thinkers and independent learners, and therefore, I try to push them to achieve success beyond what they believe they are capable of achieving.
I have taught English/Language Arts for 3 years to 6-8 grade students, and I have worked as a tutor in various capacities for the past 7 years. This past summer I opened my own business: a program dedicated to teaching the craft of creative writing to kids. Currently, I am back in school at University of Dayton's online graduate program, with a goal of obtaining my Master's of Literacy.

More About This Tutor...

As a Mass Communications student, I work very close with reading and writing for radio and television. I'm currently in college at Wright State University, graduating in 2010. In this major, writing papers is important, so reading and writing are major especially with presenting. In my background of working with students, I have worked for the Wittenberg University Upward Bound program for 3 years as a tutor counselor, after being a student for 4 years.
I have worked with students for 3 years, so it's interesting to see how they learn differently. I believe that learning is unique, so being creative in making memory stay is a positive with me. Encouraging students that doing their best and they will learn is a positive reinforcement that someone does care outside of school and home.

As a teacher, accountant, mother of 4, I have seen so many changes in education. Thank goodness, we are looking more at the student as an individual than as a cookie cutter kid. One size does not fit all. My passion, is to instill the love of reading into all children, as I did with my own, and as I try to with my high school students. Reading is the base of all education. If a student struggles here, it will show in all classes. I use a method where I find out exactly where a student is in his reading, and through running records, I can show him where he seems to be struggling. I also use above level books, where I just read to the student and he follows along, using the cloze procedure to make sure he is on track
A child needs to have fun throughout the learning process. He learns best when he is excited and interested. He needs to be able to choose his own books to read ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a wide variety of experiences in and out of the classroom with all different types of learners in all different age groups. I have taught preschool, middle school, high school, and adult education classes. In addition, many of my tutor students have been in elementary school. I work best with struggling students, and they have told me and shown me that I effectively helped them. I have tutored students in math, science, social studies, and English. I am certified to teach Biology, general science classes, English, and journalism. Reading and writing have always been my strengths throughout my own studies and jobs, but Biology fascinates me.
I am a teacher of individuals. I believe that people are so different from each other that each student really needs an individualized approach. While this is more challenging in a classroom, it lends itself well to tutoring. I read ... read more

I attended The Ohio State University and got my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a concentration in Early Childhood Development. After that I continued my education at Capital University to obtain my teaching license for PK-3 regular classroom education, as well as Intervention Specalist K-12 and a Reading Endorsment K-12.
I believe that every child should be given an equal chance to learn. If that means teaching a lesson three different ways to be sure to reach all my students, sometimes that is what it takes. Being flexible is very important in teaching, as it is important to be able to adapt to each student and each class, year to year. I think that all studnets can meet their potential if given appropriate chance and I strive to give students that chance.

I am currently a graduate student at Wright State University majoring in English Literature. I am also a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for the English Department and have developed a deep admiration for working closely with students. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for the English Department I have been afforded the opportunity to instruct English 101 and 102 classes. Teaching these courses has given me a great deal of practical experience within the classroom and working with individual students. These experiences have provided the best kind of preparation one might hope for prior to embarking upon a career in this (or any other) field.
I believe in allowing students the room to direct their own learning. Students who believe that they play an important role in their own education find a deeper level of satisfaction and pride both in their abilities and in their st ... read more
