I will work one on one with your student. I use a lot of visual techniques. Even though students have different learning styles, I am a strong believer that visual is a technique that all students can understand. I currently teach 7-12 grade English and Creative Writing in Fremont, Ohio. I am prepared to help your student or child with Grammar, Literature, Writing, Poetry, Shakespearean Literature, Reading Comprehension, etc. I have a passion for teaching and a passion for English.

I have a bachelor's degree in English. After college, I worked in the communication area of a large company and wrote news releases and promotional newsletters. I also very briefly worked as a proofreader for the University Press. For one year, I volunteered as a tutor for PLUS (Project Literacy U.S.). It was very satisfying to help empower my students. Most recently, I have used my communication and editorial skills as Editor of the PTO newsletter for Conneaut Elementary School. As a tutor, I was encouraging, supportive and sensitive to my students' feelings. For example, I normally met my students at the library. One student kept missing his initial session. I figured out that he was too intimidated by the library itself to meet me there. So, we had regular lessons in the park, where he felt comfortable and was therefore receptive to learning. Ultimately, I strived to make each session

I really enjoy working with children and adapting to the intricacies of individual learners. I believe that everyone has the potential to find themselves unblemished in the world of an artwork and to develop from this a confidence in who they are and what they are doing that stretches into all aspects of their lives. I believe that art is the spark of passion and I employ this notion of passion as the key to discovery and learning. In this way I approach teaching reading and writing in the same way as I do sculpture; first one must find an individuals own entry point, a child’s own place of interest from which all facets of academia may stem and grow. While studying at Allegheny College I was pushed by my professors to achieve a high level of academic proficiency as a student, colleague, and later teacher. Very far from a vocational curriculum, Allegheny encouraged its students to br

I am a recent college graduate from Bowling Green State University. I have a BA in Philosophy and a minor in English. I have lots of experience in writing all different kinds of papers and essays. Some of my other skills include playing the clarinet, speaking french, and being well read in general. I understand that not everyone learns in the same way. I have some training as a teacher and am able and willing to use as many different ways as needed to help the student learn. I encourage questions and will take as much time as needed to explain the material.

I see myself as a guide and a "project manager" for my students' learning, providing the support, advice, and tools that they need to achieve success. I believe that inquiry-based learning facilitates better retention and the development of a love of education that lasts a lifetime. Every student learns differently, but I believe everyone can learn and succeed. I am patient, considerate, friendly and helpful, and I am happy to adjust my teaching style to my students' needs and goals. I emphasize creativity, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills that extend beyond subject mastery to make a difference throughout my students' lives. I have a strong background in both science and the humanities. I am a National Merit scholar and hold a BS in Molecular/Cellular Biology and a BA in English from the University of Arizona, as well as a Master of Education (Secondary) from Arizona S

Teaching has been a passion of mine for some time. My general teaching philosophy and pedagogical approach is centered on active learning and creative thinking. I steer my students away from time consuming rote memorization and point them towards creative problem solving and promoting enlightened discussion. My enthusiasm for learning encourages and energizes students in the classroom. In closing, the thrust of my pedagogical orientation is to maximize course content in conjunction with outcome measurement, and to create a fun, exciting, and interactive learning environment. • Background in teaching and leadership– providing creative solutions and educational techniques for students in a nurturing environment, while applying knowledge in a multidisciplinary set of topics • Extensive knowledge in the topics of curriculum planning, creative learning tools, grant writing, community

It is my love for people of all ages, that drives me to see them become more confident, reach a higher level of competency, and experience joy and fulfillment. I use different tools to assess the best learning style of an individual, i.e., some learn best by listening, while others may learn best by touching and seeing, yet others may learn best by walking or dancing through a concept. It is important for educators to meet students where they are and build on current strengths to effectively broaden horizons. I had the joy of raising, teaching, and mentoring my two children from birth and into young adult years and advising with unpredictable life experiences. My 10-year educational pathway as a non-traditional student challenged me to seek experiences in elementary grades (reading & writing tutor for six years), as well as, non-traditional students, teach English as a second language (

I believe that the purpose of education, in any field, is to train the mind to think. With this goal, I approach tutoring with a desire to understand where each student is coming from and to help them figure out how to make their studies more interesting and applicable to life. Sometimes only personal attention is needed to truly reach a student, sometimes differant ways of practice, or ways of considereing the work need to be learned. In any situation, I am committed to helping each student to grow as a person and then as an academic. As a graduate of Hillsdale College, I have been ingrained with a need for education to be applicable to the specific student and to widen his or her ability to observe, analyze, and draw conclusions. Majoring in English, I greatly appreciate the ability and discipline of language - vocablary, grammar, and syntax - to focus the mind and to aid communication

I am a veteran teacher of nearly 28 years. As a teacher at Perrysburg High School, I have taught every level of English from grades 9-12. I have taught English to students who struggle with the subject and I have also taught honors level students. For a ten year period I taught journalism classes at the high school and advised the school newspaper. I am experienced at teaching writing skills which include simple expository writing, more complex writing and research papers. At Perrysburg I tutored students in many different subjects in the school writing lab. I feel I am able to help any student of junior high or high school age. My teaching style is one where I adapt to the situation and what it requires. I believe each student should be taught to the individual level they are on but still challenged. I am a very patient and easy going person. I relate well to students and am able to use

As a holder of a BS in Chemistry, I have a very strong grasp of science and mathematics, as well as a passion for the written word. I have volunteer experience tutoring my fellow students at Eastwood High School, out of which came two years' of summer tutoring for one of the individuals I helped while volunteering. My methods are amorphous and change to the needs of the student, but typically fall in the range of serious, yet enthusiastic and fun. I feel the need for tutoring is the need to simply obtain information in a form that is different from the one presented in the classroom. As a tutor, I work to break things down into their constituent pieces and explain each of these pieces in turn. This is a more time-intensive method of instruction, of course, as the breaking down of information is totally dependent on the way it must be done for it to make sense to the student. Tutoring all

I thoroughly love teaching as I come from a line of teachers myself. I have demonstrated that learning happens on multiple levels depending on what level one is working on. In my experience, I have learned that understanding is a process which involves listening, question and answer, humility, multiple approaches (including mixed media, visual and audio stimulus, humor, etc.), and a general openness to learn. Patience is key, and to learn is not just to memorize--it is to understand. Through the learning of the knowledge of relationships and the inter-working of things is understanding of subject material attained. We are all children, and as children we strive to break the barriers that close our minds. A good teacher knows how to ferret out these barriers that prevent our learning and open the doors to discovery and thought. It is with this knowledge that every student I have ta

Over the course of my career, I have taught at every grade level from four year old Head Start students to more than 11 years at a community college. I have a special understanding of non-traditional students and their learning challenges. I have taught English, Literature, Composition, Business Communications, writing and a variety of other subjects. I have tutored English as a Second Language (ESL) students from over 10 different countries. In addition, I have worked as a technical writer for a variety of businesses, writing everything from grants, proposals, training manuals, presentations and speeches. I love teaching and working with a variety of students. My teaching style is easy going and flexible because I believe each student learns best in their own way. There are no “cookie cutter” students or lesson plans. I feel the most important thing I can give a student is the de
