More About This Tutor...

I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.
I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

Personally, I prefer hands on - lab style workshops - than endless lecturing and note taking. I like to grasp the student's maturity level and aptitude and go from there. All students need individualized attention, but it is also important to have team building skills inherent in the coursework so they learn to both help themselves and others. The first thing is to teach the love of learning, the second is 'how to learn,' and the third thing is the motivation to develop mastery. Most students do not learn how to study, learn how to learn, and if their parents are not educated, they usually never learn these skills.
Straight out of college, I began substitute teaching and then tutoring individuals. I specialized in English, reading skills, history, psychology, and counseling. Now, I'm a computer tutor, a technical writer on contract, and gone through countless hours on training for ... read more

I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program. I feel I can comfortably teach French as I studied French in Montreal when I lived there. I speak the language fluently. I also feel I can teach k-12 Science classes, specifically Biology and Earth Science. I have a Master's Degree in Business and am comfortable in any area of instruction in business. I have also owned and managed several businesses and have real world experience to share as examples.
I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a sub ... read more

I completed my MBA and Juris Doctorate while employed full time, married with two children. It has given me insight into the learning process and what is or isn't a distraction. I have taught over 20 years in several community colleges a full range of business subjects while employed in the accounting function. In addition, I published and managed a Law Review and later a sports magazine nationally.
I enjoy use of the Socratic Method but recognize that in the sciences a more pragmatic process is required. Over the years I have concluded that good teaching requires good analysis of which particular approach works for a student and then alter the materials to fit the need.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love English and the writing process and helping other students and children become more comfortable in these areas is very important to me. When I was younger I had trouble with writing and it wasn't until high school that I really began to excel in writing. With my early struggles with writing, I understand how frustrating it can be. I have a very laid back personality and am extremely patient. I believe that I am capable of making learning fun. The idea of helping another student in a field that I love so much is amazing.
At Bradley University I was an English major with a Journalism concentration. I love writing and one of the things I enjoy most is the proof reading and editing stage of writing. I can help with any kind of writing necessary from proposals, to research projects to lab reports and journalism articles. Throughout high school I tutored other students after schoo ... read more

All ages can benefit from tutoring. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults. I have a good sense of humor and encourage students to view the world from different angles. I am persistent and determined which means I do not give up on anyone. Learning can be entertaining and that is the best way to inspire a student to go forward with enthusiasm.
My teaching experience has been in the corporate world, where I was responsible for training and teaching employees both basics and advanced techniques in the broadcast field of advertising. My success was in preparing them for an expanded career, and many of those that I mentored over the years remain in prominent positions at some of the world's largest advertising agencies.

I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and use the support from their peers to help them achieve their goals. I have no one set teaching style, I get to know each student's learning style so that they can benefit the most from the tutoring session. Through patience, respect and dedication, I work with students so that they can achieve their goals.

At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes. I developed a love for tutoring and remediation -- for the student who needs one-on-one instruction. I allow the student to be successful. Every lesson must end in success and praise. It also helps that I have a good sense of humor and a knack for discovering each student's personal interests and melding those into the lessons. It's imperative instruction be individualized, positive and patient.
After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist.
