I graduated from Oregon State University this year with double Honors BS degrees in Earth Science (with a Climatology focus) and Environmental Economics & Politics. I also have a Minor in Political Science. My Honors Thesis, which is in the final stages of submission, is on the testing of a new variable mixing efficiency variable for use in our current climate models. I am an inductee of Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious college Honors Society in the US. In high school, I almost exclusively took honors classes and AP classes.

I am very patient when it comes to my teaching style. I try to use techniques that are compatible with my student's learning style. I never get angry.
I have for many years helped friends and family when they have needed help with history papers, literature and writing homework, etc. I would love to assist others to achieve success in school as well. I can help with research papers or just regular homework. I am a history buff and enjoy reading history in my spare time so I can offer insight into history homework as well.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : Writing poetry or understanding it is good for the soul. Let me help you with your poems.

Taught Grades 3-6 over a 35 year career successfuly with great feedback from students, parents, and administration. Love teaching all subject areas at the elementary school level. Education: BS.ED in English and minor in education; At least 60 hours beyond my Masters in School Administration in various subject areas: Reading, Writing, Math, Animal science.
Prefer to facilitate learning and provide more hands on activities. Try to connect reading with writing as the two subjects are very much intertwined in the skills they take. Great at teaching across the curriculum to help students in subject areas that require reading of nonfiction

I love teaching students to master English and writing.

I have many years of writing experience mainly in creative writing such as fiction, poetry, and screenwriting. This is in addition to my B.A and M.A. degrees in English and writing. I have also published poetry, won awards for writing and am finishing a book of short stories. I feel that writing is at the heart of many fields and mastery is key to advancing in career and educational goals.
I have a laid back teaching style, helping the students find the answers so that they have the knowledge to master any task related to English and writing.

Poetry is one of my top subjects!

I am a University of Chicago graduate in English with a minor in Environmental Studies. I have always had a strong interest in and affinity for mathematics and the sciences, particularly Earth Sciences, and I am very familiar with Environmental Law in particular. I particularly enjoy reading (thus the English major) - poetry above all - and playing chess (for which I am also available as a tutor).
