I enjoy teaching and working with all children. Not all of us can be the “Star Athlete”, but we can all learn the rules of the game. All children can learn. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I have found that most students that are having difficulty can be put back on track by a teacher willing to take the time to find the problem. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children deserve to reach their potential and they can if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning opportunities. A good education can make a world of difference in a child's life. I strive to give all of my students' the tools they need to succeed in life.

Having graduated with a BS in Mathematics I am now continuing my passion for learning while pursuing a masters degree in Nurse Anesthesia. My liberal arts degree from Hillsdale College has given me extensive work in all areas of learning. In the past eight years I have taught music theory and piano lessons, tutored Junior High School - University students in Mathematics and English, and instructed Halfway House residents in Mathematics, English, and Sciences in pursuit of obtaining a GED.
I have always been passionate about working with different students and finding their unique learning strategies. I am supportive and very patient, but persistent in the achieving success for the student. My ultimate goal is above teaching subjects. It is to provide the student with a love for learning and the skills needed in tackling academic tasks.

I match my teaching style to the learning style of each individual. My first session with the student is when I can determine whether their learning style is visual, audial, tactile, kinesthetic or a combination of these. I then write a prescription of study with the student that include several objectives and a timeline to achieve these goals. I work with the student to promote a sense of achievement and to build confidence for future learning.
Gaining and sharing knowledge has been a driving force throughout my life. Literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Having taught grade levels from preschool to adulthood, I know that everyone learns in their own unique manner and at their own time. My experiences span not only various age groups but different subjects as well,including math, algebra, biology, history, literature, Spanish, grammar, reading/phon ... read more

Being raised in a home with educators greatly influenced who I am, and how I view the building of knowledge. While I earned my B.S in psychology and minored in business, I participated in after school tutoring programs for a local public school. My studies of child development and the neuropsychology involved in learning helped immensely as I pursued my graduate degree in the college of education. During this time I served as a graduate teaching assistant for psychology courses, and substitute taught in the local public schools. In my classes I learned about pedagogy and I practiced concepts when I tutored students outside of class. Appreciating different learning spaces as we build knowledge has led to my career today in the virtual world.
I’m a strong believer in the learner centered knowledge building. Not all learners are the same, and that means not all facilitation s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an English professor at public state universities for over 20 years, I focused on teaching students to become better readers and writers. By becoming more self-aware and responsible as readers and writers, my students develop greater confidence, and better reading and writing skills, thus helping to prepare themselves for successful careers in business, medicine, law, publishing, communications, and education. Not only have I worked as a tutor in Basic Skills Writing Lab in a university setting teaching grammar and composition to under-prepared freshmen, but I have also taught critical writing and literature, creative writing, business writing, and various literature courses from the freshman to graduate student levels. Having taught at eight colleges and universities in five states, I adapt well to various teaching environments. I excel at one-on-one conference teaching (tutoring), t ... read more

My approach to composition is simple; think, write, repeat. This means that I use a process-oriented method as students draft and re-draft based upon the new ideas and insights which are gained through the practice of writing. I also employ post-process pedagogy, encouraging student participation in the world around them. I want them to engage with the private and public spheres. My goal for my students is to think about how ideas are intertwined across the disciplines and how the critical thinking skills learned in one course can work with the theoretical skills they learn in another. When they leave me, I want them to be self-sufficient learners who can analyze, organize and teach others what they have learned.
I am currently teaching first-year composition as a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati. I have been teaching at UC for two academic years and will gradu ... read more

My background includes a Bachelor's degree in history and economics supplemented with minors in math, music, and secondary education. I have taught high school American History and tutored economics, algebra, geometry, and calculus. I particularly enjoy working with older students who are highly motivated and focused. However, one of the great joys in tutoring can be engaging the reluctant learner to make the content interesting and relevant. My most recent teaching experience involved developing and implementing training sessions for an on-line state standards alignment company. While this experience does not cover the same content, the underlying skills are the same: conveying information so that the learner quickly understands and masters the concepts at hand. In the absence of visual cues during virtual training, I've learned to ask targeted questions to identify precisely which ... read more
