Writing Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Freetown, IN

I have a Bachelor's Degree in History, and a Master's Degree in English and Writing, both from Northern Michigan University. I have extensive experience in business communications and public speaking. I have taught English and Writing at the college level, and have also used my knowledge and experience to help elementary students succeed. I have a passion for the English language, and a belief that a good working knowledge of written communications will help everyone succeed, no matter the career. I believe that most people learn best by doing; therefore, I am a very hands-on instructor.

In addition to my education, I have previous experience tutoring students in elementary school up to college students. I am skilled in working with kids with ADHD as well as other behavioral disorders, such as DBD and ODD. I have been working in the behavioral health field for 2 years and can apply knowledge and experience to help kids in a unique way to improve academic success. By helping kids in a one-on-one setting I can attend to their specific needs and help them build skills to make the independent learners in the classroom by overcoming personal obstacles and barriers.

When I tutor, I first strive to make the session interesting and fun. Before beginning, I would strive to identify which types of learning the student excels in and focus on them. I also make sure to change the learning styles and activities often to avoid students from becoming tired of an exercise. I have taught at the university level for 4 years and tutored all ages of children and adults for 3 years. The subjects that I have tutored or taught include English, mathematics, and the social sciences (economics, government and history). My MA in International Relations has allowed me to teach political science and writing composition at the university level. In college, I received certifications in teaching English as a Second Language, and I have taught English to foreign students at the university level. As a mathematics minor in college, I also have experience in tutoring

My forte is in instruction and delivery - I am creative and innovative, I excel at teaching to multiple learning styles, and I am extremely motivated about getting students ENGAGED in learning so that they are eager to know more. I love to model for the students, as my own excitement for the subject matter is often translated into students being excited. I can demonstrate practices that are based on real-life experiences, I encourage discovery and experimentation, and I am able to help students make a CONNECTION between their needs, their skill level, and the level of mastery they hope to meet. I have been an educator for more than 15 years. I have taught English/Language Arts in the public school classroom setting, and have taught basic skills, ACT/SAT prep, and career education in a variety of settings, including public programming, private industry, and educational programs.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Accounting with a minor in Economics and plan to continue my education into a Masters of Science in Accountancy program. During my tenure as a student, I had the opportunity to work four years in the college's Academic Resource Center as a writing consultant where I assisted students to improve their writing ability and to understand that writing should be look at the process rather than attempt to "correct" each paper. In addition being a writing consultant, I also acted as a student assistant for the center as well. Because my area of expertise is accounting and economics, I assisted students with courses in those areas at each level (basic, intermediate, and advanced). Accounting and Finance often blend the theoretical and concrete. I strive to teach theories and concepts through fun activities and games in order to make learning fun and as stress fr

Believing that people learn best from what they consider most relevant to their lives, my teaching style is one which encourages learners to seek a higher level of knowledge. In addition to reading textbooks, the students must learn by doing. I encourage life long learning by promoting a sense of what it takes to successfully retrieve information when one needs it later. Basic memorization generally fails us all in time. Modifying or adapting information in a manner to help the learner reach success is crucial. Students may learn more from auditory, visual, or hands on methods. I always encourage learners to use what feels natural to them. Continuing education is vital to the success of many engaged in the ever diversifying classroom. Many traditional aspects of education are changing as I learned from other current educators participating in my Transition to Teaching program. I was ho

I have three degrees in the social sciences, Psych.(BA), Public Administration (US gov't) and finally, in International Relations. I have had the opportunity to teach in all three feilds - Critical Thinking(which draws from Psychology), US History, which draws on public administration, and Comparative Gov't (which draws on IR). I research and have publications in all three fields - and am currently researching public policy in the feild of environmental studies. I have had wonderful experiences teaching students of all ages and I think one of the best ways to reach students is to teach them individually. Usually, this is a luxury that one cannot afford in a classroom. As such tutoring will allow to focus on the individual needs, learning styles, and talents of the particular student I am teaching and help them draft, short, medium and long-term goals, and work toward achieving all three.
