If you need English help, I'm your girl!

I'm an English education major currently attending Western Michigan University to earn my degree. Before starting at Western I attended Jackson College, where I excelled in my writing classes and was asked to become a writing fellow. Through this program I worked with students at the college answering questions and helping them with any and all works of writing. I also worked within a Jackson area prison helping inmates with various writing and English related issues. Before I began tutoring I wrote for my local newspaper for two years. First I was a part of a teen issues column, but was asked to continue to write even after the column was over. Writing and English are my passion and I really love helping others to enjoy it as much as I do.
I like to work one on one with students, however I'm open to group settings. I'm adaptive to how the student learns and try to work from there.

More About This Tutor...

At our first session, I ask that each student complete a short quiz to determine their learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc). Every child learns differently and I believe that discovering what works best for each student is the first step towards success. Once we figure out what his/her learning style is, I cater to this. If they learn best by reading, I'll prepare worksheets based on what they're learning; if they're hands-on learners, I'll make an activity.
My experience with tutoring began in high school, when I started assisting elementary students with homework through one of my clubs. Throughout the two years I was involved, I regularly helped 6 students, along with 6 students that I met with irregularly. I have experience tutoring children with behavioral issues, learning disabilities (dyslexia, ADHD, ADD), as well as students on the Autism Spectrum. I'm wil ... read more

In the past, I provided education in Mathematics, English and Spanish to freshman, undergraduate students , and children.I also counseled on good studying habits, time management skills and the fundamentals of the particular subject. In addition, I assisted with tutoring eight students on a consistent basis and had a proven success evidenced by superior/ace results in all subjects taught. Lastly, I supervised and taught a student who missed half the semester and ensured that the individual aced the course.

I believe every student can get it.

I believe in starting from the beginning and taking one step at a time, and not moving on to the next step until the current one is understood -- a surprisingly uncommon approach. I am very skilled at figuring out what a student isn't getting, and helping them get it, and I believe every student can get it. I am a very relaxed, easygoing person, and don't get stressed or thrown by a non-comprehending student.
I have two years of experience as a GED tutor, and have graduated 12 students in that time. I have been a computer programmer for 40 years, including 18 years as a freelance programmer. I have dabbled in writing over the years, writing poems, short stores and vignettes. In the past three years I have begun focusing more on writing, and am 2/3 through a novel. I have studied communication, language and writing extensively on my own, and have written a grammar textbook, which ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a year of experience working with at-risk students as a high school reading intervention teacher in an urban school. At the beginning of the year, my students were reading at anywhere from a first grade to an eighth grade reading level. By the end of the year, some students had increased their reading by up to three grade levels. For my work as a sixth grade mathematics and social studies intern in Delaware, Ohio, I received the honor of Student Teacher of the Year from the Ohio Association of Teacher Educators. My years of tutoring experience helped me to become a successful classroom teacher. I have tutored students in first through twelfth grades in subjects ranging from reading to chemistry to ACT preparation.
My objective as a tutor is to increase students’ confidence in their ability to discover and understand the world around them. I immediately try to identify ... read more

I have two children ages eight and five. We learn with each other through discovery, often turning to our dictionaries and computers for information. I think that the greatest skill for one to learn is to be able to seek information that can be synthesized into the answer that is needed. I use constructive criticism, making statements that demonstrate why an answer or line of thinking is incorrect without implying that the learner is somehow less valuable for having come to an incorrect conclusion. I think that it is very important to build a student's confidence in themselves because it is only with self-confidence that one can graduate to self-efficacy.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent the better part of my life either in school or teaching in one form or another. I highly value both the process of learning and of passing on my knowledge. I have intend to make this my life's work and as such have almost always held teaching positions. I tutored fellow students while an undergraduate and after graduation I taught autistic students in math, reading, art, speech therapy and physical education for 5 years. Then, as a graduate student I taught Human Anatomy to undergraduates. Though my own education is in psychology and biology my years of education have provided me with a broad base in the arts, history and literature/writing as well.
I believe that teaching styles need to be flexible to the student. I have worked with a very wide variety of students, from the severely limited autistic youth to the highly gifted medical student. While approach and focus ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly believe that there is no greater joy than making a difference in the life of a child, therefor I take pride in my job as a teacher and strive to do my best 100% of the time. I expect the same attitude and effort from my students. I believe that setting high standards for students leads to successful learning – if you tell a student over and over that they can, eventually they will. I also believe that effective teaching involves differentiating instruction to meet the specific needs of students, organization and planning, and creativity.
