Creative Writing is one of my top subjects! I am able to tutor students in fiction, nonfiction, and prose poetry. With an MFA in fiction and experience teaching creative writing in the undergraduate classroom, I am well-positioned to tutor students at any level of experience. Lessons are designed to personally accommodate the needs of each student. Some students prefer to focus on learning successful writing techniques; others seek in-depth feedback in order to better revise existing work. With a multitude of creative exercises and an encouraging, discerning approach, I am happy to tutor students who have different goals or genres.

I have a bachelor's degree from Coe College in Art History and Writing, which included both creative and technical writing courses for completion. As of 2013, I have a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University. In addition to my academic achievements, I have worked at Bowling Green State University as an instructor of composition and creative writing. I taught both the Introduction to Academic Writing and the more advanced Academic Writing courses, as well as an undergraduate creative writing workshop. During this time, I was also the acting Managing Editor of the literary magazine, Mid-American Review. As Managing Editor, I was responsible for maintaining the mailing and subscription databases, communicating with authors and poets, setting work with Adobe InDesign, selecting works for publication, editing the magazine, and much more.

I have a strong background in both science and the humanities. I am a National Merit scholar and hold a BS in Molecular/Cellular Biology and a BA in English from the University of Arizona, as well as a Master of Education (Secondary) from Arizona State University.

More About This Tutor...

I really enjoy working with children and adapting to the intricacies of individual learners. I believe that everyone has the potential to find themselves unblemished in the world of an artwork and to develop from this a confidence in who they are and what they are doing that stretches into all aspects of their lives. I believe that art is the spark of passion and I employ this notion of passion as the key to discovery and learning. In this way I approach teaching reading and writing in the same way as I do sculpture; first one must find an individuals own entry point, a child’s own place of interest from which all facets of academia may stem and grow.
While studying at Allegheny College I was pushed by my professors to achieve a high level of academic proficiency as a student, colleague, and later teacher. Very far from a vocational curriculum, Allegheny encouraged its students ... read more

Teaching has been a passion of mine for some time. My general teaching philosophy and pedagogical approach is centered on active learning and creative thinking. I steer my students away from time consuming rote memorization and point them towards creative problem solving and promoting enlightened discussion. My enthusiasm for learning encourages and energizes students in the classroom. In closing, the thrust of my pedagogical orientation is to maximize course content in conjunction with outcome measurement, and to create a fun, exciting, and interactive learning environment.

As before, since I do not have classroom teaching experience I'm not exactly sure what my style would be. Initially I feel I should explain that I do not stand a strict method. From the people I have tutored before I have learned that you need to adapt to different situations and different needs. Some students need more regimented discipline such as an outline of everything for every day and others need just a general idea of what is required, etc, etc. I am confident, and proud, in the fact that I can adapt to any situation. I may not have the experience, but I do have the knowledge and I do have the passion.

I have earned a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Education. I also have 33 hours beyond my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. My lastest certificate was achieved a month ago in the Orton-Gillingham Reading, Writing, and Spelling course designed to assist students with these particular learning difficulties. I received 3 hours of Graduate credit from the University of Michigan for taking this course.
I love working with a diversity of students. My main goal is to assist students in achieving their academic goals. I modify the curriculum according to their needs. I am very patient, friendly,and enthusiastic. It is quite easy for me to build a trusting relationship with my students. I have worked both in the public and private school settings. I prefer one on one tutoring which is what I did mostly in the private school setting.

It is my love for people of all ages, that drives me to see them become more confident, reach a higher level of competency, and experience joy and fulfillment. I use different tools to assess the best learning style of an individual, i.e., some learn best by listening, while others may learn best by touching and seeing, yet others may learn best by walking or dancing through a concept. It is important for educators to meet students where they are and build on current strengths to effectively broaden horizons.
I had the joy of raising, teaching, and mentoring my two children from birth and into young adult years and advising with unpredictable life experiences. My 10-year educational pathway as a non-traditional student challenged me to seek experiences in elementary grades (reading & writing tutor for six years), as well as, non-traditional students, teach English as a second lang ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of Hillsdale College, I have been ingrained with a need for education to be applicable to the specific student and to widen his or her ability to observe, analyze, and draw conclusions. Majoring in English, I greatly appreciate the ability and discipline of language - vocablary, grammar, and syntax - to focus the mind and to aid communication. This comes through in both the creative, artistic use and the practical immediate uses of language. I worked as a tutor in the Hillsdale College Writing Center for two and a half years, working with students on their command of language, organization of thought, and understanding of texts.
I believe that the purpose of education, in any field, is to train the mind to think. With this goal, I approach tutoring with a desire to understand where each student is coming from and to help them figure out how to make their studies more ... read more

I would say that it is a little more toward laid back. Being over 6" tall, stocky, pushing hard, being an ogre, hard-nosed, that isn't going to work for me. People have a tendency to be a bit intimidated and fearful because of my size. I will use it to my advantage if it is necessary, or becomes necessary, but I've found being a little more quiet, reserved and coaxing the student to initiate the discussion is a little better. Ask leading questions, adjust and proceed, based on their response.
I have received degrees in Int'l Business from Lourdes College, as well an Associates Degree in Accounting from Owens Community College. While with the Ohio Air National Guard, participated in the Mentoring program with Township Elementary, Swanton Local Schools for five(5)-years. I enjoyed working with the students, helping those that needed a little extra attention. I enjoy reading, writing, ... read more

I have always been a tutor of sorts. I love to teach kids because of the sparkle they get in their eyes when they finally understand what they are being taught. Each child have a different learning style so I try to work with them to see what works for them. I have worked with kids who have ADD and the gifted. The greatest thing I can teach is that we can teach to create intelligence, but wisdom comes from using all that you know.
I started tutoring in 7th grade back in 1976. I have been tutoring my own kids for over 14 years. I have been a Scout leader for over 9 years. I worked with boys ages 5 to 18 years of age. I have brought 2 learning disabled teens into my home to help them graduate High School. Both have gone on to be Certified Welders. I have presided over the Parental Acceptance Committee for both Fremont and all five of WSOS HeadStart Counties and all the cent ... read more
