Literature is one of my top subjects!

I have worked in Cedarville University's Writing Center as a tutor for two years. As a tutor, I conducted one-on-one sessions with college-age students to help them improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I also led several workshops on various skills required for college-level writing, such as "How to write a historical/biographical analysis" and "How to write a Marxist analysis." In addition, in training for my tutorship, I wrote a research paper on how to tutor various types of LD students, focusing on students with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and various Autism Spectrum Disorders. I've also worked as a leader at Cedarville University's annual writing camp for high school-age students. At the camp, I led group workshops for creative writing (both fiction and poetry) and led discussions on perfecting various writing skills.
I prefer a style that empowers the students to take ... read more

Literature is one of my top subjects!

I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a BA in English-Writing. Throughout my classes, I have honed the skills of writing and communicating effectively, whether it be creatively or analytically, as well as expanded my knowledge of literature by taking classes such as Shakespeare and 20th Century British Literature. I am a very well-read person who has a leaning toward classic authors such as Bronte, Dumas,and Hemingway. I completed a senior honors thesis, which was 70 pages of analyzing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and continuing my own creative project, a novel in the making. This honors thesis received the Marsha Daigle-Williamson Award in English in May 2011. To go along with my English degree, I acquired a minor in History while at Spring Arbor University, which led to me tutoring an American History course. Along with this, I have published short storied and poems in smal ... read more

Literature is one of my top subjects!

I have a Writing Minor, and I am well- trained in not only creative writing, but writing non-fiction work and journalism styled writing. I have also written several short scripts, some of which have been performed by a small group of students for an audience. I have a great love of words, language, and imagery through both words and language. I wish to work with other potential writers to help them sculpt their own writing craft.

I believe strongly in providing not only educational support but in providing emotional stability and consistency for each child that I work with. I have worked with some of the most profoundly behaviorally impaired students in Michigan and have been able to help them learn to cope with their disabilities while becoming successful academically. I believe that by being highly structured, yet providing for individual differences, each student has the capacity to learn.
I graduated with honors from Grand Valley State University with my Bachelors in Psychology/Special Education in 1997. My areas of expertise include emotional impairments and cognitive impairments. In 2001, I graduated with a 4.0 in my Masters of Special Education Administration program. I also received my Special Education Supervisor approval certification at this time.

I really enjoy teaching and using a variety of educational methods to reach students. Some students respond much better to one-on-one teaching methods than they do in a larger class environment. I have had many successful tutoring experiences in the past with a variety of students (even those classified as having learning disabilities).
I currently work and teach at the International School of Tegucigalpa. I am a high school world history, psychology and comparative government. I have also taught economics at the high school level. I have tutored students in Language Arts at the high school and middle school letters. I am also literate in Spanish.

Education is a powerful and necessary tool to achieve success, and I am motivated by making a difference at a personal level.

It is my goal to motivate and help students exceed this potential by providing the best personalized education possible. I am patient, compassionate, and personable; a teacher, mentor, and coach. By teaching through discovery, I provide an interactive approach to learning specifically tailored to the needs and abilities of the individual student.

I have always loved teaching and working with kids. I have volunteered at a number of places that allowed me to exercise my ability to tutor and mentor children ages 5-17. Since high school, I have volunteered at a local preschool. This past summer, I spent time in Honduras teaching English at an orphanage. I have a very concrete understanding of English and Spanish grammar, and I have spent the last four years studying writing at Grand Valley State University.
I believe that the teacher's most important job is to present material in a way that makes learning fun and interesting. Everyone learns best in different ways, and it is important to remember this when tutoring or teaching. Whereas some learn best with visualizations, others learn by listening. I love finding new and creative ways to present a lesson or concept. I have a passion for teaching and hope to be an educator for t ... read more

Since achieving a Bachelors in Spanish at Grand Valley State University, I have worked in a human services environment. As a bilingual professional, I have the opportunity to offer services to Spanish and English speakers, aiding them in furthering their education and job search skills. In a fast-paced field, a high level of accuracy in spoken and written communication is imperative, in both English and Spanish. In obtaining a degree in Spanish, I also honed my English and literature skills. Earning my degree required a high level of literary analysis and composition. Indeed, my final coursework consisted mainly of analyzing Spanish literature and composing several lengthy papers on themes within the material.
I am passionate about communication, and find the opportunity to do so in multiple languages compelling. I am flexible, able to work with people of many different learnin ... read more

I love to help people, and I thrive in relationships with others that leave a meaningful impression on both the giver and the receiver. I personally have always tried to achieve academic excellence, and I love to assist others in doing the same. I am a good listener, patient, easy going, and understanding. I recognize that all students learn differently, and I try to tailor my teaching to the individual student's learning style and needs.
At the University of Tampa I earned a BS in Biochemistry. While completing my degree I became knowledgeable in many areas of math and science. I also gained skills in grammar while writing research papers, lab reports, and essays in various classes. I worked in the academic center for excellence on campus for two years tutoring fellow students in chemistry, biology, genetics, and mathematics.

My basic belief is that as human beings, we all share the goal of being understood. This may sound rather simple, but it is basic to my philosophy. I work to ensure that each of my students feels understood; whether it's a question that they have, a goal they've set, or a frustration they've experienced. I've found this theory to be very successful in working with elementary children, teenagers, and adults alike. In addition, the enthusiasm I feel toward the process of learning speaks for itself. There is nothing like the light in a student's eyes when the moments of understanding occurs, and when that light goes off, the person will never be the same.
I specialize in language, with instruction in English, Spanish, and French. I have a passion for bringing out the best in each student. I teach ESL to speakers whose primary language is not English, by emphasizing practical speak ... read more
