A Little Bit About Me...

I have my teaching degree in English and History from Saginaw Valley State University and have done my student teaching at Skeels Christian Schools where my class sizes ranged from thirteen to six students.

Literature is one of my top subjects! Highly skilled in the areas of American Literature and British Literature at both the high school and college level.

I have 15 years of experience teaching students at all ages and all ability levels. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English and a Master's Degree in Teaching. I am certified and highly qualified to teach English and History at the 6-12 grade level (and college). I am also certified and highly qualified to teach students with Emotional Impairments and Learning Disabilities. A great deal of my teaching career has been spent educating students in lock-down juvenile detention settings. I built my reputation on the fact that I take the jobs many other teachers find too challenging. In addition to teaching I also have a background in professional broadcasting and news writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

To be honest I have no experience in teaching outside of the college setting. The two years marked denotes my two years in upper division English classes at SVSU where student critiquing was the norm. Beyond helping my friends with their papers I took several classes on teaching and as such have academic experience, but not real world (ie K-12) experience. I have been in several writing workshops that cover a variety of English facets from research writing to creative writing to poetry. This spanned the second two years of my college career. I have also written stories of my own and had them critiqued by teachers and students, so I know firsthand what frustrations can result.
Dr. Segal taught us that traditional teaching methods are outmoded. Therefore I came to my own conclusion that as a teacher I would allow my students to confront me on their terms and make the learning e ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught and developed various workshops for actors and non-actors of all ages; providing not only specialized actor training, but also helping non-actors with speeches, presentations, and mastering general communication skills. I have tutored for two semesters at the college level, and worked as a teaching assistant for an upper level theater directing course which included the opportunity to plan and teach an entire class section. My specialty lies in theatrical and spoken communication education and training; however, I am also qualified to tutor writing communication as well.
Most importantly, I strive to develop a safe and supportive environment for my students; a student is more open to learn if they do not feel threatened or unworthy. Creativity and curiosity are at the core of a successful education; a students ability to imagine instills a sense of passion and excitem ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Broadcasting and English. My educational and career background gave me confidence and experience in research, writing,and communicating with people. Also, I have over 8years teaching experience in the school and childcare setting for students ages 4-6. I have taught language arts, science, and math and tutored in reading.
I consider it an honor and a pleasure to teach children. I enjoy making learning fun, creative, and engaging for students. I think it is important to be flexible in individualizing lesson plans because all children learn differently. Promoting an atmosphere of children encouraging one another and building each other up in all areas of learning leads to social and academic success.

When working with an individual student, my teaching style is to focus upon the student and create an individualized plan for how the student learns. I first look to see what kind of learner the student is, whether he/she is a visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or any combination of these learning styles. I am then able to formulate an approach for genuine learning. The next step is to ascertain what the student difficulties are in the subject matter and where the core of the difficulties may lie. With this teaching style, I am able to the student with what could be the core of academic difficulties by teaching to his/her strongest learning style.
My experience in education has been wide and full of variety. I began working as a linguistics tutor for the university. I worked with several students over the course of the two years in which I worked for the department. I began my fie ... read more

I recently have spent the last six months in the Head Start Program as a center teacher. We prepare them for kindergarten. I have taught all grade levels. I currently have a BA with a concentration in K-8 education. Due to online classes, I have written hundreds of research and essay papers using APA style although I have helped my son use MLA which I can write in effectively.
Teaching mainly K-8 on a consistent schedule, I have learned that some students need one-on-one teaching. Being the third teacher in Head Start, I had time to work with individual students. All children were very well prepared for kindergarten. The older children, including High School and Middle School, I would walk around the room and aide them when they were confused. I also had them read the text orally taking turns and we would do the work sheet to prepare for quiz, test or new chapter. I am very pat ... read more

As an older recent graduate I have experienced how hard it can be to get a bachelor degree and raise a family at the same time. To be committed to both made me who I am today. I take great pride in the accomplishments I have succeeded in. I take just as much pride when tutoring children, their success is the most important accomplishment that can be achieved for all involved.
I currently am working as a teacher for summer school. I enjoy walking in the school everyday and working with the students, helping them find academic success while having fun at the same time. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the right learning experiences. I love working with children one on one or in a group. I have found most children learn by hands on. I love to do experiments with students or fun games to make their learning a little easier. I am patient, easy goi ... read more
