Education Should Be An Experience!

I pride myself on being innovative and tailoring teaching to the needs and interests of my students. An ability to relate the material to one's life and take ownership over your learning is the core of my teaching philosophy; therefore, I teach in a manner that best enable my student(s) to maximize this goal. Learning should be an experience, and I strive to develop activities and approaches to make this experience a pleasant and engaging one. My classes are fun. The activities are not wastes of time, and the end result is measurable growth in the subject area. My best quality is my ability to adapt and think on the fly. This means that I can address concerns and issues as they manifest; also, it means that I am not locked into one way of doing something. This means that on a given day, I can adjust the manner and method of instruction to suit the needs and interest of my stud ... read more

I am a very enthusiastic teacher. I love my subjects and want, above all, to instill in my students a love of learning. I believe that all children can be enthusiastic about learning if a patient teacher or tutor is willing to work with them at their own pace and can find a "common ground" with the child's interests. My goal is to give students an environment where they can excel at their own pace, regardless of whether they are a fast-track learner who needs constant challenge or a struggling student who needs a patient, persistent mentor. I firmly believe in the power of individualized learning support to help a student reach their academic potential.

More About This Tutor...

My tutoring/teaching experience has been primarily with high school and college students. As an Advanced Placement English student in high school, I volunteered time at the school’s writing center; as an English tutor in college, I also helped students with parts of speech, sentence and paragraph structure, and grammar. I love being able to share my passion for and knowledge of writing. For the past three years, I have been the organizer and facilitator of a community writers’ workshop. I think writing is one of the most powerful—and important—forms of communication. From composing poetry to writing a technical manual, the goal is the same—to express an idea or thought.
Curiosity is an important aspect of both teaching and learning. Curiosity tends to accompany a willingness to learn. It also brings up questions, such as “Why?” or “How?” or “What does this mean for me?” As ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in English. In addition to studying English I also studied fine arts (painting, drawing, art history) and Spanish. I have tutored students from ages 5-18 in all subjects including English (reading and grammar), math, social studies, and science. My reading and grammar skills are helpful in all subjects because I am able to take apart sentences and paragraphs so that it is easier for students to understand. With my English background I am very helpful with reading assignments and book reports. I can help students with writing and editing papers as well as recognizing plot, themes, and motifs in stories, novels, and poems.
I love teaching students of all ages and I recognize that most students do not get the help they need during the school day, which is why it is important for them to get the help they need outside of clas ... read more

While I was in college, I worked for my finacial aide as a tutor in all areas other than Math. Once I earned my degree I went right into teaching. After a year, I was hired as a college basketball coach. During this time I continued to tutor our student athletes in thier English work. I also taught the Physical Education classes for Majors. After having my son, I have rejoined the teaching field. I have been teaching 5th-8th grade Language Arts classes. I also teach reading. I feel I have a good handle on how to break down information for a more individualized learning environment.
I have grown up knowing that teaching is a fundamental need for our lives. Both my parents are teachers, and I have always been good at explaining things to others. As I pursued my career choices one of the most important goals for me has been to give others the opportunities at learning that I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently received my Bachelors degree in High School Ed with a focus on social studies and I am currently in the process of receiving a Bachelors in history at the end of this semester as well. I also am enrolled in the Graduate program at Lourdes to receive my endorsement to teach K-12 Reading. I also was a certified child care administrator for the YMCA for 6 months in 2006 but had to step down due to my student teaching responsibilities.
Very hands on with a strict demeanor initially that I relax as I gain my students mutual respect. I believe in differentiating instruction as every student learns and retains information in different ways and the best way, in my mind, to teach a student is by covering as many of the multiple intelligences as possible with a focus on that particular students specific strengths and learning style.

In the spring of 2008, I graduated with my Master's of Arts degree in English from the University of Toledo. While studying at the graduate level, I was awarded a teaching assistantship, which allowed me to teach three sections of Composition I (Engl 1110) and two sections of Composition II (Engl 1140). As a composition instructor, I created my own syllabi, lesson plans, writing assignments, and methods for course evaluation and grading. In addition, I made time to help my students enhance their writing and reading abilities through individualized instuction during office hours. Currently, I am working on my teaching certification for the State of Ohio, which will allow me to teach language arts in grades 7-12.
