Poetry is probably my best field outside creative writing. Although my Milton is a bit sketchy, I can teach the student a great deal about what they need to know about either a poet, or "explicating" poetry meaning to take apart and understand poetry or even to appreciate a poem. I am knowledge about most major poets writing in English from Shakespeare to the 20th century, not simply from my English degree, but because I am always a student of poetry myself, reading and rereading what people call "the classics" or masterfully written poetry in contemporary anthologies. If the student has trouble understanding what a poet is saying, or has trouble finding the meaning of a poem, I know some good techniques of how to read a complicated image or metaphor. I can explain about imagery, similes, allusions, metaphor and other areas of a poem, as well as the poem's broader meaning. I am also good

I prefer working one on one with students and in group situations I utilize a collaborative learning approach. I taught freshman composition at Texas A&M Commerce and Paris Junior College. My primary focus in graduate school was literature. Much of my studies related to children's and adolescent literature. The study of composition and compositional theory made up a secondary focus of my studies. After graduating, I worked in the sales and management fields and assisted students in the community in writing speeches for competition and personal statements for college applications.

I am working toward a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in Philosophy. I have achieved very high marks in college board English examinations and I am VERY proficient in all aspects of the English field. I have also played the French horn in band for the past 9 years and I know how to play the trumpet as well. I would feel comfortable teaching a beginner on either of those instruments.

I find most children at young ages are visual learners, but I am easily adjustable to many teaching styles to fit the students needs. I have worked with children ages 5 and up for a few years now. I have 3 siblings all 8 years or more younger than me, and have had lots of experience with children in elementary school. I have tutored middle school students after hours, and have worked with Special Needs children throughout my summers and within my school.

I have worked with various needy students who have been classified as learning disabled, or those who know they are in need for assistance. My experiences vary, as I worked with older children in filling out applications for jobs and to prepare for jobs. I also, have worked with many adults on writing papers for college preparation or with helping their children on writing tasks. I have worked with young children on phonics and reading readiness. My style is what works for the person I am working with. I am opened to sharing my ideas, but listening to each individual and what works for them.

I have a passion for language and rhetoric. Words, truth, knowledge, and exploration have marked my academic career. I studied with two colleges during my Associate years in order to obtain lessons in Japanese. I took my passion for language into history with pursuits in Latin and Greek while attending the College of Saint Thomas More. I have offered consistent and helpful tutoring to youth and classmates over the past four years. I have specific experience with Theology, Philosophy, Literature, Rhetoric, Latin, Greek, Japanese, and Anatomy. I enjoy the wonders of discovery and assisting others with master concepts and practical logic that helps them in every aspect of their lives. Tutoring is not so simply as to aid a child in finding the answer or getting a college student to pass the examine. It is truly the disciplined approach to knowledge and truth that allows one to branch into ne

As an honor student at the University of Texas at Arlington I was very much driven to achieve a high level of education. I have tutored for the university in subjects such as Finance, Accounting, Math, Biology and Economics, during my undergrad years. Currently I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Accounting, and I serve as a supplemental instructor for undergraduate students in Accounting subjects. I believe that all children can learn, although in different ways, and I believe that given a bit of positive reinforcement and helping someone to believe in his/her abilities enables them to reach their potential. I am extremely patient, and realize that everyone has different ways of learning, and given the right encouragement, children are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to.
