A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very enthusiastic teaching style. I try to get to know my students well and use various methods to engage them in the subject area we are studying.
I worked as a tutor in college, and I taught some groups of children Spanish and French while in college. After graduating from college, I taught for 4 years, grades 7-12. Also, I worked as a graduate assistant at Indiana State University and taught college freshmen. I homeschooled my own children for several years, and now I work as a literacy assistant in an elementary school.

I'm a graduated student from Purdue University with a BS in Speech Pathology and Audiology (SLHS). Between my time in both high school and college, my GPA never dropped below a 3.0. Both settings of education included years of math and science, and in high school four years of writing, English, and history. Volunteer work has been essential since high school, helping teachers, the elderly, disabled, and churches. I also have leadership skills as an assistant editor to a high school magazine as well as an officer for a leadership group for minority and international students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I adapt to the student. In my experience with several students is that they all need a different approach. I like to use examples to explain things to my students for example a video game or sports. I am a patient teacher but demand all of a student's attention.
My education and experience has led me all over the world providing companies with my skills as an analyst and consultant. After earning my BAs in English and History, I wanted to explore the world. I taught English in Korea, Italy, and finally China. I taught in several settings including classroom, individual tutoring, business meetings, and summer camp. My undergraduate education was focused in English and History. I am currently earning my masters degree in Business Administration.

Teaching is the solemn devotion to a writer's voice. I believe in inspiring young students to write from their hearts, with a keen interest in being grammatically correct. My goal is to empower students to achieve in the classroom, in test-taking, in their every day lives. Patience and understanding is the key to tutoring; I have that patience and I understand what it is to be a tutored student. I will create a comfortable environment for all students to achieve their dreams.
By working in a wide variety of fields, from film production to politics, I have a breadth of knowledge from working with many different types of students. I was once a student being tutored for the GRE, so I have been on each side of the desk. For two years I taught workshops on public speaking and speech writing. Before that I earned my Bachelor's degree in Writing, and had to do so through intimate writing ... read more

After graduating with honors from Grove City College, I took a position as a writer for a large nonprofit organization in Washington, DC. While working as a professional writer, I dedicated my free time to tutoring at a center for urban kids.
Learning must be fun, especially in a tutoring context. In my previous tutoring experiences, I always attempted to turn tasks into games or opportunities for creative expression. For example, multiplication tables can become an opportunity to play a relay game. Learning different parts of speech can be made enjoyable by creating an imaginative story. My particular interest is helping children develop a passion for creative writing and reading. These were essential elements of my own childhood and my development as a writer, and I'm excited to share this experience with others.

After many years working in higher education and the arts, I made a career change into elementary education. While working toward that degree, I worked in middle school and some high school as an aide. I worked with students in all subjects, but my natural coursework is in English. I was an English minor in school and love literature and composition. As a teacher in fifth grade, I taught persuasive writing, narrative, expository and informational writing.

I first taught when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Yemen. I had just graduated with an English degree and a teaching certificate, and I taught English to Yemeni men and women. Over the years, I have taught high school English in Honduras, Michigan, Minnesota and Missouri and ESL as well as one-on-one tutoring in Miami and Minneapolis. I have often taught English when I traveled and found myself in a new place. Right now I’m living in Indianapolis, and I would like to teach English again. I love watching students develop their skills to use language eloquently and persuasively. It’s inspiring to help facilitate that accomplishment.

I love helping others overcome obstacles to understanding, and showing them that they have the ability to do what they thought was impossible. I believe in building upon a solid foundation so that the student really learns and understands the concepts of a subject (and doesn’t just shoot for a passing grade). I like to discuss the material and include additional background information because that helps make the subject more interesting. Where formulas, memorization and/or calculations are involved, I will explain, practice, check for understanding and practice again. I believe that I am a patient and enthusiastic teacher who has had many satisfied students in the past.

More About This Tutor...

As a student at Earlham College, a liberal arts institution, I had the opportunity to participate in a wide range of academic experiences. As an English major, I have acquired extensive grammatical skills as a result of writing numerous essays analyzing various types of prose. My study of Spanish was also quite thorough, and during my four years at Earlham I went from being an intermediate speaker to a fluent one. The courses I took within the Spanish Department were excellent, but the semester I spent abroad in Mexico was just as significant, for it immersed me in the language and culture of the Mexican people in a way I had never before experienced. Since graduating from Earlham, I have had the opportunity to tutor students in Spanish.
