My comments on tutoring Poetry : Lower Elementary Teacher for 15 years. I like to look for the special ways to meet the way a student learns. I believe each child learns differently.

I believe each child has her/his own way in which to learn. It is a process of discovery but my experience and intuition are pretty darn good. I like to combine humor with organization and accountability, on my part, the student's part and as well as the parents'.
I am a previous elementary school teacher, focusing mainly in the lower grades during my 15 years of teaching. Prior to that I was trained and taught Montessori Elementary, Grades 1-3. I believe and was able to teach with a thematic approach in which all subjects were integrated. I was also trained in Bloom's Taxonomy, which is an awareness and knowledge of the seven different learning styles.

I really enjoy teaching the writing process.I love working with all children, and I firmly believe that all children can learn to become great writers when they find out what the discipline expects of them. I am very patient and considerate of childrens needs; as some are hands on learners, some are visual learners, some need a scaffolding approach to writing, or simply need to know organizational approaches to writing...so I attempt to meet the student where they are in the learning process and provide them the nurturing approach, and healthy environment. I seek to enable them to be confident in their abilities, and help them achieve their writing targets.
I have been teaching four years. I am a highly driven person and expect a lot of myself as well as my students. I earned a BA degree in English Literature, and a Master of Arts degree in English/Creative writing from Wayne State ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In my experience as a teacher in the church,I have worked with a variety of students from young to old, from very intelligent to the mentally challenged. Thus I have learned to be flexible. One style does not suit all. With one on one or a small group, the ability to change to fit the student population is extremely important. Especially with composition, it is important to help students be able to write about what they see and feel. I think I can do that,

A Little Bit About Me...

Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentoring students through a local church for just as long. In addition, I tutored in 1990-1991 and 1994-1997 while in college to earn extra money. I have assisted students with Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, and Mental Health issues. I have published my own poetry and have written a novel which I will publish soon. I am very well-spoken and do well correcting grammatical and spelling errors of students.
I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While teaching my courses, I have a few goals in mind: to develop my student's critical thinking and analytical abilities, to make him/her keep an open mind to cultural differences, to help him/her overcome the challenges of venturing into unexplored intellectual territories and difficult texts, and, of course, to make him/her a confident and empowered writer. I usually start with a topic that is familiar to my student and add to it gradually in order to broaden his/her knowledge and skills. I also start with a broader, more general topic and later sharpen the focus on a particular issue. I found that these methods help a lot in achieving my teaching goals.
In my nine years of experience, I have taught an array of courses ranging from Developmental English, English as a Second Language, English Grammar, English Composition, Advanced Composition, to literature and film courses fo ... read more

I hope to instill in my students a sense of individual responsibility by treating them with a shared level of mutual respect and trust. It inspires me to see students learn inductively, not through repeated lecturing, allowing them to develop the skills necessary to succeed outside of the classroom. I believe that anyone can learn what they wish with the proper combination of careful instruction, diligence and optimism.
As a Peer Tutor of Greek and Latin at UNC Asheville from 2008-2010, I led weekly tutoring sessions for groups of students in introductory and intermediate Greek and Latin. While I developed my own understanding of Greek, Latin and English grammar during this appointment, I gained an even greater understanding of the way different students learn and the means necessary to drive them to success. During my undergraduate career, I also pursued a variety of independent ... read more
