Since graduating in 2010, I have taken on a variety of freelance writing jobs. I also taught Technical Writing and Freshman Composition at a community college in Southern Maryland.

More About This Tutor...

I am currently completing my final year at Vanderbilt Law School. Over the past three years, I have taught a class and provided one-on-one tutoring for students preparing to take the LSAT. I also taught an upper level course while in grad school (it was in radio production). While I was in undergrad, I spent time tutoring elementary and middle school aged children over the internet. All together, I have helped dozens of individual students in a private setting and nearly a hundred students in the classroom. Personally, I love numbers and have always been very comfortable with math. But my grades and test scores have always been just as strong in other subjects, and I am confident that I can help you or your child in any of the areas listed below.

Composition is one of my top subjects!

I have years of experience in helping people learn how to write better through my editing and coaching skills in a variety of settings. As a current doctoral student, my study and time management skills are excellent and I can show you or your son or daughter how to study more effectively. As a psychologist in training, I am particularly adept at addressing the psycho-emotional issues that often accompany learning struggles. I have experience coaching students on resumes, admissions essays and recommendation letter solicitations based on my own experience with top-tier educational institutions such as Harvard and Vanderbilt. I work well with people from a variety of backgrounds and have particular experience working with low-income populations.

Composition is one of my top subjects! Highly qualified k-8. Professional writer for 35 years.

For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.
Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.

I love working with students on their writing. My background in pastoral counseling means I am particularly trained to be an empathetic listener who can pretty quickly analyze fears and anxieties which may be affecting school work.
I believe strongly in all students developing their writing skills as part of what it takes to suceed in school, work, and life. My students at Vanderbilt Divinity School where I am a Teaching Fellow and PhD student in Religion, Psychology, and Culture, write in evaluations that I give the most attention and valuable feedback on their writing in terms of composition, the technical aspects of writing, and organization that they have received at the school. I have been writing and editing professionally since I was in high school when I wrote for The Oregonian, Oregon's major newspaper, and was asked to review high school capstone projects at the school di ... read more

English Language Tutor! Any first languages taught!

It's all about you, the students. We all learn differently, so I like to tailor my style to the person I'm teaching. Let me know what you want to learn, and I'll work with you to get the best result. The only requirement I have is that I want you to care. If you come to me, you have to work. I'm not a ogre, but I won't let you come to me and not try to learn.
I've been an informal tutor for as long as I can remember. I've tutored my peers and my juniors in English grammar, spelling, vocabulary, writing, composition, essay, formal reports, reading comprehension, and anything else involved in English. I also have formally studied Japanese and tutored in that. Formally, I have worked as an ESL teacher for The Salvation Army. I've been both a classroom teacher and a one-on-one teacher with my students.

Giving students the tools to fulfill their life's potential!

I like to give students the tools and watch them practice using those tools for themselves. I encourage two-way communication.
I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for general education and special education students of the Williamson County School District. Before that, I was working with adults and students in a ministry environment back in Texas as a worship leader and music teacher. My education has centered around music, theology, and literature primarily (with a general exposure to various other sciences).

Experienced and successful teacher in English language arts.

I have five years of teaching experience, including teaching kindergarten students, students who were English language learners, and fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students. My focus has been in reading and language arts, and I have attended several Uncommon Schools trainings for close reading techniques and writing and vocabulary strategies. My previous background and work experience was in writing, and I enjoy teaching students about the different forms of writing, including creative writing, literary analysis, argumentative, and informative. Since I started my teaching career working with students in kindergarten, I deeply understand the foundations of literacy. My experiences with students in middle school has also helped me understand and realize the connection between a strong foundation in English language arts and how it develops in middle school.
I am focused on achieving ... read more
