High School Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Decatur, GA

Ph.D., Religion, Emory University (2013) M.A., Theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2005) B.A., History, Taylor University (2002) My career as a tutor began when I was looking for a way to support myself during my graduate studies in the Boston area. After signing on with a local company, I discovered my passion for finding better ways to help students overcome difficulties and achieve their goals. I enjoyed the challenges of adapting content to the individual needs of each student, of pioneering new ways of communicating ideas, and of working closely with parents to ensure that my efforts were effective. Sensing the need for more structure, I later moved to Kaplan. In more recent years, I have tutored independently. Perhaps the most rewarding part of the work is sharing in the success of my clients. Students of mine have increased their cumulative SAT scores by as ma

I have taught poetry in the Fayette and Rome County School Systems to high school students. I graduated from McIntosh High School in Fayette County and studied English and Secondary Education at Berry College. I student taught for a year at Rome High School before graduating and becoming a substitute teacher in Fayette County. I have completed three long-term substitute positions, two of which put me in charge of an entire classroom with all the responsibilities of a full-time teacher. Additionally, I worked at Aloha-USA Mind Math with Elementary Students as an English Teacher and occasionally a Math teacher. I opt for making the material relatable to my students, which causes it to be more interesting and meaningful. When something is relevant, it is a lot more fun and kids are much more willing to want to learn, which is, of course, ideal.

Yes, as mentioned before, I'm a published poet. That does not make me an expert on the subject. I know how to write a sonnet and can show you the various rhyme schemes that pertain to the more classic types of sonnets. There are so many kinds of poems to explore! Many people think free verse is easy because there is no scheme to adhere to; however, this is not the case. If you want to learn about poetry, I can give you the basics. Of course, in college I wrote about poems for a grade and was trained in finding symbolism, meter, etc. Again, these are but fundamental aspects of poetry. The difficulty lies in the fact that poems can be very esoteric. I enjoy humor where appropriate and am very patient with students who need time to understand concepts that are new to them. I have extensive experience both locally and abroad teaching ESL. I taught in Korea for two years before working
