A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children of all levels. I firmly believe all children can learn if given the proper opportunity. I am a very hands on teacher, giving all students an opportunity to really connect with the concepts they are learning. I do focus on incorporating the different styles of learning because I understand all students learn differently. During lessons, I have students listen, write, do, and present. I feel students retain the information when given many opportunities to learn.
During my college career, I worked in lower income elementary schools to provide students an extra opportunity to heighten their reading skills through direct instruction. Through this experience I have gained new insight into teaching reading. I understand the importance of using small groups and one-on-one instruction. I have also had the chance to use Success for All, a different type of readin ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my educational and professional life, I have focused on achieving excellence in writing. I have taught writing composition, journalism, creative writing, and literature at the college level for five years, and have worked as a writer in the professional world over a decade. In addition to writing, I have worked as a freelance editor and marketing writer now for the past 18 years to supplement my full-time positions. I possess an extensive knowledge of all levels of writing and composition from basic grammar and spelling to constructing the compelling persuasive argument, or formulating the expository essay. I am returning to tutoring now because I want to enter teaching full-time once again. My passion for teaching students has never waned and it is time for me to return to the profession I love most.
First and foremost, I love working with students. I believe all students have ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel very passionate about education and learning. I think the key to teaching is to engage students, and make content interesting and relevant to their lives. I truly believe that the ideal teaching situation is via one-on-one instruction, because I feel students understand the content better, they can work at their own pace, and they feel comfortable asking questions. I am dedicated to providing all students an equal education, and I am comfortable working with students from diverse social and economic backgrounds. I think education is the key to empowerment.
For the past two years, I was the high school English teacher in a small, rural Alaskan village located on the Yukon River. This teaching position was very challenging--I had to teach several subjects, such as English, social studies, geography, art, keyboarding, drama, journalism, and digital photography. Since the ... read more

Read More About Kathleen D...

I have been a classroom teacher for the past four years in both elementary and middle school. Both of my parents are educators, so I spent a great deal of time tutoring and volunteering in schools prior to my teaching career. I also have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Florida Atlantic University. My strengths are in the areas of language arts, reading, and social sciences.
I like to observe children to determine what learning styles best fit their personalities and strengths. I believe in the capabilities of all children, when their teachers find the proper ways to motivate and support their learning. I find that building a trusting relationship in which students feel comfortable asking questions and thinking critically are best for making gains.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.
During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
