“I am not a teacher, but an awakener.” Robert Frost

I use a creative, hands-on teaching style. I break things down and present them in simple sequence, so students don't become overwhelmed. I am very patient. I try to incorporate fun, imagination, and creativity into learning activities.
I am an educator with 27 years of experience. I have both taught and tutored grades K-12. I have a special needs, vocational, and assessment background. I love teaching and working with students. I am very patient, easy-going, and encouraging. My teaching approach is creative and imaginative. I use methods to make lessons fun and enjoyable. I believe in using "the whole language approach," which helps to reinforce several skills at the same time. I am able to communicate my thoughts and ideas very clearly. My philosophy is that any subject can be learned, if it's presented in the correct way.

I will tailor my teaching style to fit your needs. First, I will need to know what you are studying as well as your goals. Then we will work together to discover what methods will work the best for you to learn. From there, I will work on methods to use during our time together to help you learn. Given the diverse topics I can tutor in, it is difficult to say what my precise methods would be. I will work to give you the tools to study on your own.

Multiple-subject Tutor: experienced & easy to get along with

down-to-earth, kind/agreeable, with an occasional twist of humor
I have professionally tutored Math and English as an employee of Ohio University, in a private junior-high and high-school academy, and on an individual basis. I taught a semester of Elementary French at Ohio University in Athens. I am always willing to tutor any subject, but my greatest academic strength lie in language learning. English has long been my strongest subject, and I am fluent in French as well (please see the comments in my subject listing). I am also a long-time musician and singer-songwriter and would gladly provide guitar lessons.

Unique Tutor

I often use word games or riddles as rewards for good work. It motivates effort from my students and makes them listen more closely. With my esl students, I made sure to apply new words to their life in order to gain the most retention of the new vocabulary words. The approach I use of ask students to draw from their own lives in order to illustrate meaning and comprehension encourages a dailogue that works well with any vocabulary words for any age group.
Substitue teacher and esl tutor for the past 4 years. I worked with various classes from Algebra to IEP classes and ESL, from Science to Social studies and everything in between. I taught classes and did not hand out worksheets. My rules in class were, you dont waste a class period. I used litle tricks to make sure they did not waste time and actually learned from me. My students often come up to me when they see me in public to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Pragmatic application mixed with varying degrees of conversational dynamics.
Language is the primal innate pulse in my personalized autonomy that propels me forward in myriad of ways, it would be inimical and feckless to pursue something else. I read and write every day for 4-6 hours, and I would adore witnessing an astute propagation of passion for anything that concerns language in your student's life. I speak three languages, completed a semester in Paris from January to May 2015, and I play multiple instruments. My sole desire in life is to witness the insurrectional retaliation of the arts in the lives of vehement individuals who believe that the can facilitate redemptive qualities within their craft. I look forward to assisting you.

I love to inspire creativity and push for success!

I love to incorporate creative and outside-the-box approaches in my teaching methods. I genuinely believe that often, to get students to understand material, they need to be interested in the concepts and I try to keep that in mind during my preparation. I also believe it is important to help students learn to become critical thinkers and independent learners, and therefore, I try to push them to achieve success beyond what they believe they are capable of achieving.
I have taught English/Language Arts for 3 years to 6-8 grade students, and I have worked as a tutor in various capacities for the past 7 years. This past summer I opened my own business: a program dedicated to teaching the craft of creative writing to kids. Currently, I am back in school at University of Dayton's online graduate program, with a goal of obtaining my Master's of Literacy.

A Little Bit About Me...

Most recently, I served as a short and long-term substitute in middle school Read 180 classes for Columbus City Schools. Read 180 is a course that strengthens reading skills. Prior to that, I worked as a tutor at Sylvan Learning Center. I facilitated tutoring sessions for small groups of students who presented various needs. I have, also, had the opportunity to teach at Columbus State Community College. There I had the privilege of providing instruction in three sections of a required English class. The goal for students was to produce a research paper written to persuade its audience. My first full-time teaching job, upon graduating from Ohio State, was as a middle and high school Language Arts teacher at a private school. I worked with students in grades six through nine. In addition, I was the first American Sign Language teacher and got the program underway.

More About This Tutor...

I started tutoring in high school, where I spent my summers volunteering as a teaching assistant at Breakthrough Summer School (a program I also attended as a student when I was entering 5th and 6th grade) in classes that ranged from Math to Biology. As an undergraduate, I further gained teaching experience through a UCSD grant for tutoring 6th-8th grade Math at middle schools (identified with a high percentage of military families) in the San Diego Unified School District. Furthermore, in volunteering with the International Rescue Committee, I had the opportunity to work with quite diverse populations in San Diego through assisting (high school age) refugees from all over the world with ESL coursework. During the fourth year of undergrad, I interned as a teaching assistant for two lower-division general education courses (World History to 1500 C.E. and American History to Reconstruction ... read more
