My comments on tutoring Poetry : I am an accomplished poet, proficient in many forms. (Sonnet, sestina, etc.)

I spent several years in Omaha teaching creative writing at the High School and College level, giving classes at Creighton University, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and Metro Tech. The program was called Writing Floes. The basic idea is that our ideas are frozen in the oceans of our unconscious minds. Music melts the ice. The goal is to get both hemispheres of the brain in the room at the same time.
Socratic: I ask lots of questions.

Learning is a lifelong process!

My very first year of teaching was at the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School, and I also taught for two years at Northern Lehigh High School. Currently, I am resigned and staying home, but looking to work part time. I have experience teaching grades 7-12 and working with all types of students. The classes I've taught range from Honors English to a class which targeted students struggling to gain proficiency in English related PSSA skills.
Every student is unique and benefits from an individualized instruction. My style is business casual; I am firm yet warm and encouraging with students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am great with teaching anything within the literary field because I have gone through college and have learned how to analyze each concept to my greatest ability. Through obtaining my bachelors, we had to complete dozens of workshops until we had a perfect piece of writing and this helped a lot with my ability to teach others the typical way to write, analyze and read.

Poetry is one of my top subjects! My poetry has been published in writing journals and quarterlies. I also have extensive experience working with college level students on their poetry.

I began teaching at eighteen. I’d just graduated high school and wasn’t ready for college, so I worked as a personal trainer at a gym within jogging distance of my house. I worked with clients one-on-one helping structure their workouts to their needs, and while I may be stretching it to equate teaching with providing pointers on proper form or advising on ways to augment a stagnant routine, but I think that gap year spent in the gym was when my proclivity for teaching first became incipient. Since then I’ve taught countless subjects. I’ve worked with second graders and sophomores in college. The classroom may have changed since I was eighteen but that aim to educate another remains. I am currently an MFA in Creative Writing candidate at Rosemont College. The program has two primary focuses for its graduate students. One is for students to enhance their craft and make the most ... read more
