A Little Bit About Me...

Experience in the study of British and American Literature, also have made a study of History in America and Britain as well during undergraduate coursework. During my Master's I studied British Literature and was a teaching assistant. During that time I spent two years teaching composition and argumentation at Bowling Green State University to cover college level essay writing which required both classroom and individual tutoring outside of class. Subjects for that course included a wide array of topics with a focus more on structure and the strength of the student's argument than the content or theme of the paper. I can handle any topic of essay writing as a result and will be able to bring out the core structural and grammatical needs for the paper.

The highest result of education is tolerance. - Helen Keller

My teaching style is to assist students by acertaining their strengths to help them improve their academic skills.

Poetry is one of my top subjects!

I've been writing for a while. I made my own short film in 8th grade. I wrote, directed, acted, filmed, and edited the short film I made. I have also written several poems and stories that are original ideas. I'm not afraid to stand out or take chances. The most important thing about being a writer and a person is to take a chance.

Your Child Needs Help? I Am the One Who Can Help Them!!!

I am a direct/explicit instructional teacher or instructor. Explicit instruction is broken up into stages that follow a sequence. The sequence of teaching/learning is as follows: first setting a purpose for learning, then telling students what to do, then showing them how to do it, and finally guiding them with hands-on application of the new item that was learned. Reading Comprehension & Fluency Strategies: Fluency- 1. Focus on phonemic and alphabetic awareness 2. Teaching the meaning of learning simple to complex words 3. Give strategies to increase the speed of students reading aloud Comprehension- I focus on the five close reading strategies that support Common Core learning. 1. Number the paragraphs that you will be reading 2. Chunk the text 3. Underline and circle with a purpose 4. Write in the margin what each paragraph is saying 5. Take a deeper look into w ... read more

A NOVELIST: HOW TO DEVELOP A LOVE FOR THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

The education of children is of paramount interest to me, and during my work as a tutor at the Audubon School in South Central, Los Angeles, I realized the importance of making education personal. Many students do not have access to the one on one aspect of instruction that can prove paramount to the development of individuated talents. For this reason, I consider the position of tutor to be of utmost importance. My love for art, and my compassion for learning, comes across in the way I work and the way I teach others. As a case example, while I was working at the Audubon School I discovered one of its students, currently in the seventh grade, had dyslexia, a condition that was seriously hampering his development within the domains of reading and comprehension. This moment was eye opening for me. I realized then the overarching value of personal interaction between student and teac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Buffalo State College summa cum laude with a degree in Elementary Education. My education at Buffalo State has well equipped me to teach reading skills for various levels and my experience in writing for over 25 years enables me to teach students how to write well. My passion for reading and writing led me to Literacy Volunteers of Buffalo where I received additional training in teaching reading. I have submerged myself in the study of how to most effectively teach proper grammar through several English courses at Buffalo State and I have tutored adults as well as children for the past two years.
I believe that education begins with reading and writing well since literacy drives all subjects and many life skills. This is why I love to teach children of all ages. I believe that any child can learn with proper motivation, patience and encouragement. I know fro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working closely with children as they work to learn new skills, habits, and ideas. The convergence of these three components to education happens most dynamically in an English Language Arts classroom. Many times I have seen students who are discouraged about their ability to read and write because they believe those skills are gifts that they either have or do not have. This is an inaccurate opinion to hold, and I relish working with students to help them become better readers and writers. Through empathy and tapping into students’ lived experiences I help foster reading and writing skills in my students by making those skills habits.
Because I believe it is important to have extensive content area knowledge I have earned a BA and MA in English. It is not enough, however, to merely hold these degrees. Instead I have shared my knowledge through teaching and tutoring a ... read more

I have spent my life working towards degrees that would help me to give my life meaning. I have earned a B.S. and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as, a bilingual extension in Spanish. Since I also love healing through nutrition and energy work, I've earned degrees in Health Counseling and Reconnective Healing. As I continue to learn myself, I hope to inspire people to do the same!
I have been working with children ever since I can remember. I love to engage in creative activities with children while helping them utilize their strengths to overcome their limitations. I've learned that by figuring out what motivates a child, s/he can learn anything! I also know that if a child is having fun, it means that s/he is learning something. My teaching style is fun, unique, focused, hands-on and engaging.
