Education Should Be An Experience!

I have been teaching at the University, Community College, High School, and Middle School levels for over twenty years now. My experience has been diverse and has been in front of diverse students. Your age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religious persuasion, etc. are what make you so unique and what I find exciting in teaching/tutoring you! Throughout these past two decades, I have encountered so many different types of thinkers, learners, people, etc., and I consider each experience to have been a mutually rewarding and educational time (After all, we are lifelong learners, who should find growth in everything in which we engage.). Accordingly, I have enjoyed teaching a wide array of courses. which make me capable of tutoring several content areas. In literature, I have taught classes in World, American, and British Lit; additionally, I have taught genre specific courses in p ... read more

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have a Masters in Poetry from the University of Michigan, where I was awarded a Zell Postgraduate Fellowship and was a semi-finalist for the Thoerdore Roethke Hopwood Award. My collection of poems, Point of Sand, was awarded the Michigan Writers Chapbook Award in 2009. In addition to spending my summers on the Creative Writing Faculty at the Interlochen Center for the Arts where I teach high school poetry majors, I currently teach in the English department at the University of Michigan.

I received my Masters in Poetry from the University of Michigan in 2011, where I was awarded a Zell Postgraduate Fellowship, and where I currently teach in the English Department. This will be my 6th summer on the Creative Writing Faculty at the Interlochen Center for the Arts, where I world primarily with high school poetry majors. I have a chapbook (Michigan Writers Associated Press. 2009), and have publications in journals such as The Dunes Review and The Smoking Poet.
I had a wonderful teacher once who quoted a line from a Richard Brautigan book that went, "My teachers could easily have ridden with Jessie James for all the time they stole from me." He told us about making a promise to himself, when he began teaching, that he would never be the sort of teacher a student could say this about. I made the same promise when I began teaching. I have been blessed with some tremen ... read more

I love to teach English and I get good results.

I have taught in Dearborn Public Schools for 34 + years, 32 of which were in grades 9-12. I truly enjoy the process of teaching and watching students improve. Lack of confidence is often the cause of low achievement. I concentrate not only on self-image and confidence, but on ACTUALLY IMPROVING SKILLS so the student's confidence will come from within, not from mere positive re-inforcement, but from actually experiencing their own growth. I love to teach writing skills, reading improvement/comprehension, grammar, and all aspects of English language arts. Teaching for me is more than a job; it's a calling.
I know how important English communication skills are to success in ALL subjects, and my approach helps students to realize the connection between English and all academic areas.

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.

Share your knowledge to someone else.

Critical thinking skills and untraditional ways are what I focus on. However the way someone learns, I will try to set the individual up to show how they learn and work with them. I will implement practices and materials I think will fit the student's profile. I feel a teacher wears many hats and you must be prepared to wear a different one any day.
I have been a tutor for 23 years and I have taught Adult Basic Education for 12 years. I am still continuing my education to receive a Masters degree and plan to get my PhD. I work for a community college and have done advising, enrollment, testing, phone directory, and student sevices. I have attended many professional development workshops on education.

I Teach Kids how to read one letter, one book, one success.

I have taught school for over 23 years. During my teaching career I have worked with multi-levels of students. The majority of my experiences has been on the primary level working with pre-K thru 3rd grade. I also have experience with 5th grade all subjects. But I have my own tutoring Company and I have worked with kids to adults. I love literacy, phonemic awareness, phonics, and teaching children to read,
I love to teach from a kinesthetic approach. I believe that all students learn differently. So I provide all types of manipulatives for learning.
