Learning is fun. I promise!

I approach teaching creatively and encourage a student's involvement when creating their lesson plans. My background in psychology provides a unique perspective on effective teaching techniques for different personality types. Everyone learns differently and teaching should reflect this principle.
I studied Political Science, Psychology, Literature, and Creative Writing at Boston University. I have extensive research experience and am a skilled editor and proofreader. High School AP exams are easy if you know your material! I took the exams in the following categories with scores of 4s and 5s: Literature, Psychology, Composition, European History, and American History. I tutored elementary students in math and reading for a community service program during my time in Boston and still edit research papers for friends and acquaintances.

Certified Teacher with Years of Experience!

My expertise is teaching writing. If you need help with college applications, excelling in a writing intensive class, or just want to improve your writing skills, I can definitely help you. I taught in California for 7 years, and now I have been teaching in North Carolina for 8 years. I have taught 5-8th grade, but I am certified to teach English up to 12th grade. I have taught math, science and language arts and am certified to teach multiple subjects at the k-6 level.
I am very encouraging and positive. I will always tall a student what they are doing well before telling them what needs improvement. However, I will be honest and push students to achieve more then they think they can.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a retired college English professor who taught several college transfer courses at the community college level. I also worked as a tutor for several years at the college. I hold a master's degree in Creative Writing and English Literature. My undergraduate degree is in Speech Correction. Currently, I am writing screenplays and making short films.
Because I have been teaching since the 1970s, I have extensive experience in several teaching styles and have a creative sensibility. I prefer to assess the student before making a determination as to the choice of learning strategies. I work well in a one-on-one approach.

I love teaching all grades and levels. The most important aspect of teaching is to know your student. Each individual learns in different ways, some are tactile learners, some are visual, and some are auditory learners. Incorporating all aspects into my teaching style assists the retention of the material. It also has to be relatable to the student, so we have to use relevant examples that they understand. All children can learn any subject if you can spark their interest. There is no better feeling than seeing the light turn on and the sense of accomplishment in a child's eyes.
I have completed all courses for my Associates Degree and was a trainer at my previous position. When in high school, I was a college preparatory student and graduated with a high school Diploma as well as 12 Advanced Placement courses and completed my International Baccalaureate diploma.

More About This Tutor...

My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English comprehension, composition, grammar, punctuation and spelling. I can also tutor in basic math, social studies and biology. I have related skills in study tactics, test preparedness, research strategies, and using the computer.
For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having tro ... read more

I really enjoy hands on learning/teaching style. I think students learn better by doing, though learning to take better notes helps with being able to do more hands on. I have always liked working with students, and have taken some education courses. I think it is very important to make learning more fun.
I graduated Cum Laude, in English literature. I have always done well in English, and have always enjoyed reading and writing. I was a member of STD, the English Honors Society, and loved helping out with various events. I have privately tutored middle and elementary school students, in which they all received better grades than the year before.

I am currently a substitute teacher in the New Hanover County school system. I have 4+ years teaching in middle school and high school classes. I have prepared and taught classes during my previous career with the Federal Government to adults. My major in Biology gave me a strong background in the sciences and math. I have always found these subjects interesting as well as essential for success in work. I try and communicate my enthusiasm for these subjects to my students. I relate well to youngsters and teenagers and they respond by treating them as responsible young people.
As a parent of two adult sons, I have had the opportunity to work with youngsters at all stages of their development. In addition, I have always been involved in various young activities including Little League baseball, cub scounts, youth soccer etc. I believe that setting a good example of approp ... read more

As a results-oriented teacher, I am committed to helping students succeed in all academic areas. I am personable and patient, and enjoy working with both students and parents in order to teach to the strengths and interests of each student. I especially enjoy teaching reading comprehension, writing, and English grammar. As an after-school tutor, I help students prepare for standardized testing by teaching test taking strategies. Additionally, I plan and teach lessons on-line that are viewed by children in other countries learning English. One of my special talents is working one-on-one with students who have learning differences.
My job is to encourage students by providing a positive role model and love of learning. Students are asked to use higher order thinking skills; getting them to dig deeper and ask questions engages their minds and I see them become more excited about le ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for teaching because I have a passion for learning. Through my education at a top-notch Women’s college and my experience in the workplace with students, leaders, and volunteers, I have learned to harness my energy to teach and learn by challenging myself to new things. In 10 years I have taught students cross-culturally in leadership skills and English as a second language.
I am passionate, goal-driven, and creative. All of these comes across in my candid teaching style. My goal is to create a customized learning environment to fit your needs. We will set goals together and work fervently to reach them

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students, especially middle school and high school, and seeing them have a "lightbulb moment". This is the moment they finally realize that they understand what they have been struggling with. I pride myself on my ability to provide students with various learning experiences for all subjects. I believe this is what makes the most difference in gaining subject knowledge.
I am a recent graduate of UNCW with a BA in English and a teaching certification in Secondary Education. Currently interning in the Wilmington area, I have been working with 9th and 10th graders in English, developing basic writing and critical reading skills. Over the last four years, I have also tutored in Algebra I, Geometry, History and Science for grades 6-12.

More About This Tutor...

I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business and BA in Spanish. I have 10 years of professional experience involving customer service, Spanish translation, tutoring, and training. As an ex-patriate, I was afforded the opportunity to learn Spanish fluently and have witnessed first hand its importance in business and life today. I also have elementary age children that I assist in the everyday learning processes.
My favorite part about teaching is the moment that something "clicks" within a child's mind. I am a problem solver naturally so I try to lead children down a path of discovery instead of just teaching the answer. I believe this helps children gain an understanding of how things work or why they are a certain way so that they are able to apply these same processes to other problems.

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer to maintain an open dialogue with students to identify key areas of weakness in understandings and study methods. I teach historical studies within a narrative to maintain the continuity and relevance of the information. I excel at finding ways to increase a student's retention of material. I am well-equipped to accommodate students with learning disabilities and varied backgrounds in education. I believe in setting clear goals for progress. I always aim to expand a student's general understanding of the world to help them process a broader range of information. I feel that it is just as important for a student to learn his subject as it is for that student to learn to research and teach themselves.
I began my tutoring experience as a high school senior under the supervision of school's principal. This experience was primarily to help students with English composition and ... read more
