Degreed teacher and honored writer can be your resource

I have been commended for my ability to teach students holistically. This means I take in consideration the student's background and prior knowledge, and then design a method of instruction to fit that particular student. This makes me a accomplished and preferred tutor
Began teaching in the early 80's in the United States Army. Received my degree and started teaching High School in Kansas. Worked on and received my Master's in Teaching From the University of Louisville. Continued my teaching and writing careers, and have a book in publication. I have improved students ability to learn while helping them reach their goals.

Shakespeare is one of my top subjects! Masters Degree in English and American Literature from the University of California, San Diego. Studied Shakespeare at both the undergrad and graduate level. While an undergrad, studied at Oxford University in England focuing on Medieval and Renaissance texts, and read a number of his plays. Also attended a production of The Tempest by the RSC. In addition, one of my four portfolio papers for the MA was a comparative analysis of the role of the forest in Shakespeare's As You Like It, a theme which evolves in meaning over the years of the play's popularity and production. Extensive hands-on classroom instuction with first year college students, would be suitable for junior and senior high school instruction as well.

I am very comfortable working with both indivduals and groups of students. I want to know what my students are thinking and feeling, so I very much prefer a seminar style of instuction. Depending on the subject - be it composition or literature - I break up the time we have into workshops, allowing us to focus on issues or topics of interest or greatest need to the students. If the coursework is grammar or composition, I also encourage a lot of hands-on writing and boardwork when possible. I feel students learn best when they try to express themselves and are then open to honest critical review. I believe that students should get opportunities to review and revise their work as well, presenting only their best efforts at the end.
I have a B.A. in English and History from Marquette University in Miwaukee, Wisconsin. I believe in studying those subjects which are of greatest interest ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During the pursuit of my degrees I worked tirelessly to excel. While in school I volunteered as a tutor for the local Boys and Girls Club. I tutored middle school and high school students in literature, math, science and history. Due to my degree in Library Science I have extensive knowledge in writing term papers and research methods.
I believe that all children can be successful academically with the right encouragement and guidance. I believe in showing students the correct way to do the task at hand, and them coaching to explore the materials themselves. I believe that given the right tools and foundation even a academically unsuccessful student can excel.

Having double Masters in Education and English, recently took Kentucky Teaching Certification in English, ESL, communications, all grades.I have over 8 years experience in Teaching. Apart from this I am in to Instructional/curriculum Design, which enables me to impart the lessons in a orderly manner.
I like to teach children in different innovative ways, which makes my lessons very easy and interesting for the children. One-on-one method works well too, if handling a difficult area I would prefer to take the students from known-to- unknown, easy to difficult.

I am a dynamic and charismatic teacher who thrives in small group settings. I inject real world examples and allusions while I thoroughly discuss the basics of all skills. I love to learn, to discuss, to research and to find answers to questions, and this passion allows me to provide a pathway for students to learn to their fullest potential. I try to make learning fun, exciting and full of life, as this is the way I see it.
As a former high school English teacher, I had the honor of working with student from the 9th to the 12th grade, as well as covering all major areas: composition, literature, spelling, vocabulary and everything else in between. In addition, my advanced schooling and training have given me a wife array of teachable skills - everything from test prep to basic reading skills to a strong background in history.

I have earned a BA in English. In earning that degree I have taken several linguistic classed. With that said my knowledge of the written and spoken language is pretty strong. With holding an English degree I am trained to comprehend what I have read as well as analyzing the material. During my undergraduate years I have helped kids and peers to learn how to speed read, reading comprehension, as well as how to write a strong paper.
I like to make a difference in a child's life. I enjoy seeing the child understand what they have read or being able to sound a word out and understand its meaning. I think that in today's time a lot of students do not understand how to write a well worded paper and this skill is very useful in the higher years of one's education. I also believe that reading comprehension is important since this skill is often used in standardized tests. I am patient and ... read more

I love helping others overcome obstacles to understanding, and showing them that they have the ability to do what they thought was impossible. I believe in building upon a solid foundation so that the student really learns and understands the concepts of a subject (and doesn’t just shoot for a passing grade). I like to discuss the material and include additional background information because that helps make the subject more interesting. Where formulas, memorization and/or calculations are involved, I will explain, practice, check for understanding and practice again. I believe that I am a patient and enthusiastic teacher who has had many satisfied students in the past.

More About This Tutor...

I have a masters degree in psychology, specializing in child development. During my undergraduate studies, I minored in music and English. In recent years, I have taught music and English to both children and adults. I also have a great deal in knowledge in other subject areas, like history, religion, and even a little Spanish.
Very simply, I believe that an instructor should be a facilitator of the learning process, not a dictator. The best learning is that which is done by the student him/herself through experiencing and seeing things firsthand. I strive to get to know my students and make my tutoring sessions unique and tailored to fit each individual student's needs.
