"Educating One Mind at a Time"

I am a professional tutor and teacher with many years of experience with children one-on-one, in small groups, and with a whole classroom. As a Reading Specialist, I have advanced training in literacy and am licensed to teach in all related areas from grades K - 12 by the Ohio Department of Education. As an Elementary teacher, I am also trained and experienced at instruction of ALL subjects up to grade 8. I have special education training and experience, so I can offer tailored, individualized lessons for any student based on appropriate goals and needs. I can assess students' reading and vocabulary levels with Informal Reading Inventories and provide a written summary of strengths and challenges and suggestions for improvement. These are provided upon request at an additional fee.
I emphasize student engagement when I tutor. With hands-on activities and visual aids, I work to make ... read more

I believe in personal interaction with students – making them write, making them read – going over every detail, looking at the issues (grammar, punctuation, syntax, coherent structure (logic, unity, transitions, parallelism,)) and then re-writing and re-reading. The key to doing well in English is understanding basic structure and making it become second nature when writing. Through personal interaction, the process can be simplified by working hands on with each sentence and paragraph. A student learns best when he/she actually reads and writes and has someone to work with on the structure – through a workshop type approach – writing and re-writing. I like to have fun, but I want quality work from my students
I have spent the better part of the past 12 years teaching grammar, creative writing, literature, and basic English structure. I have my BFA in Creative Writing and my ... read more

I have been a school librarian/media specialist for 26 years. I have worked with students in grades K-12. My role as a librarian enabled me to interact with students of all learning levels. Students who struggled would come to me to find materials that they could understand more easily. During times that I did not have classes in the library, I was usually assigned to tutor students who were in the low percentile groups based on MCT scores. I helped them with language, reading, and math.
I used my skills as a librarian to encourage students to explore and enjoy books. We explored different types of literature genres, researched using the computer, and utilized the reference books in our library. My goal was to help struggling readers overcome their hesitation to read and explore different avenues of information sources.

I have taught as an English Instructor at East Mississippi Community College and Mary Holmes College. I taught several courses. Developmental I and II were very basic grammar and writing courses. Composition I and II were courses that introduced students to writing essays and the research paper. In addition, I have also taught English as A Second Language at Mississippi State University and Greater Columbus Learning Center. I taught grammar, reading, phonics, vocabulary, and conversational English. I also worked at RTP for a year as a GED tutor. I tutored math, social studies, and language arts. I also worked with students who were studying for the ACT.
I believe that every student deserves a quality education, and it is my responsibility not just to lecture or impart information, but to ensure that students gain a fundamental understanding of the material being present ... read more

As a Mississippi State University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a BS in Biomedical Engineering, which has enabled me to become proficient in many areas of math and science.

I love teaching and working with all children.

As a soon to be graduate of the Counseling program, I hold education to the highest level. I have also earned a bachelors degree in psychology, which has given me an important background in my study of counseling. I have had a lot of general education classes which give me a broad area of study. I have never been a teacher, but I do have a younger sibling. I would like to say that although I have never tutored directly, I do have experience in helping others in many of their life areas including school.
In becoming a counselor, I have had a passion for helping others for a long time. It makes me smile and gives me much joy to see someone else achieve thier goals. I am very flexible in teaching because everyone learns in different ways. I feel very strongly about education, so I would like to provide a comfortable and educational environment for students to learn at their full poten ... read more

I have a love of learning and especially learning about people. This love lead me to earn a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Sociology, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of students' persepectives. Although I have extensive experience in grammatical skills through writing research papers and essays, my skills in reading comprehension are my strength. I work with assessments both summative and formative on a daily basis.
I find it important to ensure that the student understands one concept before moving on to mastering a second concept. I believe that all students can learn; however, the way in which a student learns may be different. Therefore, I use short formative assessments throughout teaching to measure the student's knowledge and understanding. Finally, I ensure that the student can generalize or apply the concept. These two points, re ... read more

I have always enjoyed assisting our youth work through various academic endeavors. I have been tutoring grades k-12 for several years now. I have helped all ages with a wide variety of assignments.
My teaching style varies based on the age of the student. I like to be a little more animated with my k-6 graders. On the other hand, with my 7-12 graders I focus more so on making a connection with the material--showing them how it relates to them.
