Composition is one of my top subjects! I describe myself as a born writer. In elementary school my nick name was "grammarian." I am an aspiring novelist and an aspiring screen writer. I have completed a 450-page manuscript for a novel, and two screenplays--all of which I hope to publish as soon as possible. I am confident that I can help improve your composition skills.

Patience, repetition, mini quizzes, and following a plan, pretty much summarize my teaching style. I also like to make my students comfortable, by being understanding, encouraging them to ask questions, and being very willing go over material that I have covered. My goal is to help my students improve their grades, and while doing that, to also help them love to learn.
I teach exactly how I study. I discovered as an undergraduate student that a student has to have a plan of action when taking any course. You cannot just study without a plan and expect to score highly in a test. My teaching method has been tried and tested by me,so much so that I have consistently scored highly in most of my courses from undergraduate through graduate school and into the doctoral program. I will share my secret study methods with my students.

25 years teaching English and ESL in Hong Kong, China and the U.S. I taught instrumental music for two years in high schools in the states, then ESL in Hong Kong middle schools; then about 15 years in Chinese universities.

Success is Feasible

In 2011 to 2012 I worked as a lead tutor for Academic Achievers in Muncie. My core focus was to improve writing skills. I would help students organize their thoughts into a structured document, and on occasion I would help build their vocabulary with five words of the week. Currently, I work at the Muncie Children's Museum where I create programs for children to exercise their motor and critical thinking skills in the visual arts and music.
I teach according to the student's learning style. I acknowledge that all students learn differently, and I excel at catering to visual, aural, and kinesthetic needs of students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping children learn new things. I get so excited when I see the "light bulb" go off. I love to find different ways to teach children to learn old things. I am a very patient and happy person by nature. Consistency is what works with children. I am very consistent and like to see children succeed. Educators can change the world through one child at a time.
I graduated from one of the top ranked schools in the nation for education, Miami University (Ohio). I earned my bachelor's degree there. I have been teaching children that have learning disabilities for ten years. I also have worked with children that have severe emotional problems. I will be graduating from Grand Canyon University in December with my master's degree in special education. For the past few years I have been tutoring an eighth grader in grammar and poetry.

I have a non-teaching BA degree in English. I spent all 4 college years working on my college newspaper, and two years after graduation working for a local newspaper. My job responsibilities included covering news and local functions, and then writing news and feature stores. I also helped proof read submitted articles for publication. I have always had above average skills in spelling and grammar. In addition, although I have no formal degree, I spent over 20 years teaching private piano lessons on a one-on-one basis. After school, I would go to each students house and work with them for approximately 30-45 minutes.
I have always enjoyed playing the piano. And I took extreme satisfaction from teaching piano. I would sit beside them while they played the pieces I had assigned to them to practice since the previous lesson. If they had problems or questions about something, I ... read more

While working with an adult native Spanish speaker to improve her English was certainly rewarding, my desire has always been to work with children or adolescents, as I feel that they are more amenable to an educational program and have a greater learning capacity when given the proper opportunities. My teaching style is one of constant progression, in which the student's strengths and weaknesses are weighed and an appropriate lesson plan formed based on his/her abilities. This lesson plan can be subject to change based upon rapid progression or extended difficulties in a subject, and I also take into account each student’s distinct learning style. Education should be a process in which a pupil is made to not only regurgitate facts but also to become motivated through active learning and discovery. I am a patient but firm instructor who would love to further adolescents along their educat ... read more

I take the necessary time to learn the behavior and learning ability of the child in order to customize a teaching style that will be most beneficial. I believe that the most effective type of relationship between a teacher and a student is friendship to reduce any anxieties that may otherwise hinder the child’s progress. I am calm, well mannered, kind and devoted to the success of others. Teachers should be firm but not intimidating to the child. The learning environment should be safe, stress free and comfortable and above all positive. I have a strong belief that since children will be leading future generations then they need the proper skills to be able to solve tomorrow’s problems.
Throughout my high school career I have been devoted to academic success of my fellow classmates as well as my self. I continued this attitude in the accomplishment of achieving a BS degree in biol ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a teacher who believes that children are only limited by their mindset. If it is truly a child's desire to learn, he will. Children choose to fail. My job as an educator is to make it difficult for a child to choose to fail. My lessons are typically innovative and evoke intrinsic motivation. I used a variety of tools for teaching and provide students with "along the way" incentives as a means of challenging them and rewarding them for achieving personal goals. My rapport with my students is excellent and because they usually appreciate and trust me, they perform well for me and eventually for themselves. I am a dedicated educator who is passionate about student success.
I am an educator of over 15 years. My area of expertise is English/Language Arts and my primary audience over much of my teaching career has been average to advanced students in grades 7-12. I have, ho ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping others learn and achieve higher levels of academic success. Working with College students is always neat since the material is challenging and engaging. But, I also love children and enjoy working with them in mathematics, spelling, and science. I'm an easy-going and patient person who feels honored to help children and adults alike meet their full potential. A lot of times, a small amount of individualized attention can go a long way.
I have earned a BS in Mathematics with Actuary Emphasis. This allowed me to become very well-rounded as I studied Finance, Accounting, Business, and Computer Science along with my Math core. I have presented two individual research projects at Mathematics Association of America Conferences and learned great presenting techniques and communication skills.
