More About This Tutor...

Tutored students as a part of an after school program with inner-city, Washington High School. Assisted the struggling students with brainstorming paper topics, clearly communicating ideas, general textbook use, critical thinking, future goal making. I also made a point to get to the students as people not projects. Throughout college I regularly worked with Spanish speaking students to develop clear papers on a variety of subjects. I also helped them edit for proper grammar and sentence structure.

Composition is one of my top subjects! I have experience working with students through college level.

My teaching style is very interactive. I like to begin a tutoring session by helping the student set a goal for the session. We then begin work on the material. During the session I encourage the student's learning by asking open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking. With writing assignments, the pen is always in the student's hand and, with guidance, the student makes choices about his or her writing. I use a method I call guided discovery, which encourages students to think in depth about their subject, discovering new methods and information with guidance from me.
In addition to having a Master of Arts in English Literature, I have extensive experience teaching English at the college level. I have spent the last three years as the Writing Corner Director at a Kansas community college, administering all of the writing tutoring for the college. This has provided me with ... read more

Easy-going and very easy to relate to/understand

Employed at Oakland Community College 2010-2011. I have been a tutor at OCC since 2010, but have had a lot of private experience prior. My methods are very effective, yet unconventional. This serves both you and me very well because I like what I do and you get the knowledge you're seeking. I can always understand a student's individual needs because I have been around such a large variety of learning styles. Also, I believe that a "set" lesson plan is worthless for English because who's to say that everyone with a specific problem is not understanding it for the same reason? One person may not understand the use of paragraph formation for a completely different reason than the next.
Casual, but very effective.

Looking to get your student to catch up during the summer?

My teaching style can adapt to whatever my student needs very easily. The tutor can change, but the student cannot.

Teaching with Passion!

I have four years of experience tutoring students K-12 in English, Science, Writing, Religion, Reading, Psychology, and beyond. In addition, I have two years of experience helping high school and college level students in test preparation and professional writing skills, in which I teach essential aspects of writing a professional style paper and teaching students the necessary strategies and skills to prepare them for anything from an English test to a Graduate Placement Exam.
I believe that every individual has gifts, talents, and learning styles unique to them, so I challenge and motivate my students to meet their highest potential as independent thinkers. I have found this to be the most effective method for students in learning the subject best, being engaged in sessions, and gaining the confidence to solve tough problems and tackle challenging assignments on their own.

Award-winning writer and editor ready to tutor you!

Three years of experience in writing and editing as a staff member at the Grand Valley Lanthorn, a student-run newspaper at GVSU. I began as an intern and held various writing and editing jobs throughout my tenure, ultimately departing as editor in chief. My writing has been recognized on the national and statewide level by the American Collegiate Press and the Michigan Press Association. I recently graduated with a B.A. in journalism.
My experience as a newspaper editor helped me to develop a collaborative teaching style. I want to work with students to understand their questions and help them work through them and arrive at the conclusions on their own. I have a non-intimidating teaching style and want my students to walk away from the sessions not only understanding the answers to their questions, but also be able to apply that knowledge in future situations.

English and Writing CAN be Fun!

Since being awarded a master's degree in 2008, I've taught English composition, literature, and reading comprehension courses at Wayne State University, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College, and Jackson Community College. I am currently a professor of English at Wayne County Community College.
The collaborative learning approach, where students are encouraged to discuss what and how they're learning, is most effective. Students tend to engage much better with course material when the instructor has discussions with them, as opposed to lecturing at them.

Let me, a journalist for NCAA football, help you write!

Creative and dynamic articles as a journalist is very important. I also am a great writer for long term papers in courses that require research and all the basic elements that put together A+ work. I can help you learn and create a style of your own to make writing enjoyable and not a chore. It is very important to learn young, in school and throughout college.
I am currently a writer for the MAC football conference on football.com. I just graduated from Michigan State University in Kinesiology, while I was a teaching assistant and tutor for writers and other athletic and medical fields. In college, I took many writing courses including writing research and creative writing, all while earning perfect scores and helping my peers. My senior year, without even graduating, I started writing for NCAA football on football.com, where I have grown as a writer and journalist. I also write a ... read more
