More About This Tutor...

I am currently an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in Education. I will be graduating this fall. Fall of 2014 I spent the semester tutoring a 12 y.o. girl in the English Language. This meant reading stories and answering questions about them, going over vocabulary, and learning new concepts. I have worked with children from elementary school through high school.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I love writing poetry and truly enjoy reading poetry as well.I have experience in writing my own poetry for the stage as well as other creative writing outlets. I would love to help someone find their voice within the realms of poetic fodder and see just how creative they don't even know they are! :)

I don't like to tell you what to learn, but rather guide you to see it for yourself, allowing you to come to the right conclusion on your own. Helping you teach yourself, so that when the time comes for that test or that epic paper, you will know you can do it because you know it.
I have my A.A. degree in Theatre and Communications and will be receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing with a minor in Film Studies in December of 2012. I have experience with children ranging from grades K-12th. I have been a Teacher's Aide since 2004 and a Summer Counselor since 2006. I am also bilingual and although it is not on my list for tutor availability, I do have experience in the language barriers concerning English and the Spanish language.

Poetry is one of my top subjects! A poet at an early age, I edited my college literary magazine, and so have both personal and education-related experience with poetry as an art and as a study subject. Appreciation for songs is typically an appreciate for poetry, as lyrics are the type of poem people are most familiar with. I can help you better understand poems and expand your appreciation, and perhaps discover your own ability!

I hold a Bachelors in English with a minor in Philosophy and Religion. I have years of experience in business writing and in creative writing and poetry; some work in advertising and PR as well. I read books for money, forecasting pre-publication fiction for the trade magazine Publisher's Weekly. English is the most beautiful, malleable and useful language on earth! Whatever you learn now will greatly assist you in school and in the job market of the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teach with all different age levels. Most recently, I taught 4th grade science through the FSU Teach Program. It was fun and really showed me how to teach students and make the lessons engaging and fun. Its important to keep the child focused. My goal is to make sure a student learns something new everyday that she/he will remember.
I achieved an AA degree at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. I am currently continuing my education at Florida State University where I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Biology. I will graduate in Spring of 2010. After, I will continue to Dental School to become a dentist.

I value shared goals for each session and encourage open conversation to cultivate ideas. Typically asked to assist on all levels of essay-writing, I start with the question and expectations. As an editor, I am extremely thorough. I make sure the student understands any edits that I mark are an attempt to help that student best learn. I walk through all edits with the student. I also take an approach of learning WITH the student and will not to lecture AT the student. Instead, I read with the student and ask questions. I am NEVER afraid to admit a lack of knowledge, and will work with the student to find the best possible solution to every problem. I never want my students to feel alone or abandoned in the learning process.

During my four years as an undergraduate at the University of Tulsa, in Oklahoma, I was able to gain extensive experience tutoring my peers in the School of Arts and Sciences, while earning my two bachelor degrees in the Fine Arts and the History of Art. Although my academic expertise lay primarily in English and the Arts due to writing and presenting original research, the University of Tulsa has also provided me with ample knowledge in the Maths and Sciences. In addition, as a teacher at an arts summer camp in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I have developed methods of teaching critical thinking and creative thought processes that are applicable and amenable not only to the arts, but to a variety of subjects as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

My beliefs about education illustrate that every child has the right and the ability to learn. I believe in data driven instruction. It is not good enough to blindly teach everyday, without proving you are making progress within the skills you are teaching. Once data is disaggregated to show which skills need the most frequent and intense focus, the skill is taught, and then tested again. The next step is determined by the result of the post test; either the skill is re-taught or enrichments are given. I also believe heavily in the use of group work and student teaching/ interaction.
Over the past few years my students have taught me almost as much as I have taught them. I have learned that I have an infinite amount of patience, persistence pays off, and using imagination in my lessons helps students learn the most. In this day and age, school is no longer just about learnin ... read more
