My comments on tutoring Speaking : Former video producer/director, helped hundreds of people improve their speaking skills

Easy-going, enthusiastic, like to discuss strategy, have client implement, then discuss results
My entire career has been spent in communications: video, radio, copywriting, PR, marketing... I love to help people learn to use communication effectively, especially when used to market themselves, their businesses, or causes they believe in. Yet, I don't consider myself an "expert" because there is always more to learn!

More About This Tutor...

I basically teach according to what the students like or is familiar with (art, sport, etc.) and I utilize what they're good at with the subject matter. For instance, if a student is into baseball, I teach math using scoring method, countries where players are from for social studies, speed of running, throwing, etc. for teaching science, and so on. With the younger students, I oberve them during choice time or free play and document what areas they are attracted to the most, how they interact with each other and their conversations. I use the data to help me develop and strenghten the abilities they exhibit.

Editor who can make you the best journalist possible!

It has been my experience that students (regardless of age) learn best when the lessons can be adapted to things that are relevant to their lives. Journalism takes in every aspect of life, so whether it is 3D printing, gardening or politics learning to apply the tenets of journalism makes one a better writer and thinker.
Reporter, editor, online editor and/or managing editor for daily and weekly newspapers in Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio. I have had the privilege of covering politics, business, government, courts, police and community news; as well as feature writing. Additionally I taught JRN 295 for six semesters at Michigan State University.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have raised three children into young adults. Taught Sunday school classes. Been a senior member of an USAF auxillary and have a easy going manner. I believe that by both listening and complimenting children they will grow and learn at an excellent rate.

Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English language to my students and gave them the keys to unlock the wonderful world of literature. I was serious about producing results and helping my students become better readers. I used benchmarks to track their progress throughout the year, and nearly every student advanced in reading growth.
I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring style is eclectic so I can reach each student with an unique insight that will help that student understand a concept or solve a problem. Once I get to know how a student thinks, I work with his/her strengths and try to compensate the student's weaknesses by working at his/her level and then bringing the student to a level where he/she needs to be.
I have both practical and conceptual understanding of mathematics as I have tutored kids and taught mathematics at a high school level. In addition, I have certifications in biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. I like making connections among different subjects and providing practical examples as the situation warrants. I get a lot of satisfaction when students grasp a new concept. It makes my day!

A Little Bit About Me...

I am extremely patient and even-tempered, but also very focused and passionate about education. Communicating with the student and parents is vital to the tutoring process. It enables the understanding of goals, expectations, challenges and different learning styles. One of my personal strengths is organizing and clearly explaining complex material. This, along with completely answering questions and reinforcing the subject matter, I feel are the keys to learning and retaining knowledge. I believe that demonstrating a strong work ethic (through punctuality and preparedness) and an enthusiasm for academics has had a positive effect on my students in the past. I truly enjoy tutoring and try to make a difference in the life of each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I had spent most of my professional career with the Follett Higher Education Group and sincerely enjoyed working in this academic environment. In my role as Media Manager, I created and implemented media plans for numerous college bookstores across the US and in Canada. As part of an Integrated Marketing team, I worked closely with the directors of various departments, as well as store and regional managers in the field, to develop effective and cost-efficient promotions for the bookstores. To continue developing my leadership skills, I joined Toastmasters International. For the past year I had been the VP of Membership of the Oak Brook Speakers club. I now lead the club's Public Relations effort.
